Download or read book Drive models for steam engines and hot air engines written by Volker Koch and published by Verlag für Technik und Handwerk. This book was released on with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many modellers – especially beginners – ask themselves when the first steam engine or hot-air engine model is finished and working: and now? After all, such machines were originally intended to do work and enable mechanical activities. Early on, the suppliers of toy steam engines therefore came up with the idea of producing drive models in which the engines could deliver their power in a meaningful way. But many of these suppliers no longer exist, many machines are only available in antiquarian form and the supply of finished drive models is limited – and besides, making your own is much more exciting anyway! This is also the opinion of Volker Koch, who describes in this book numerous self-built propulsion machines of the most diverse types – for the most part based on historical models – and how to build them himself. With simple means – mostly from the scrap box – and little use of machinery, small works of art are created here that make the operation of steam engines and hot-air engines even more interesting. Sketches of the various models help to find the right dimensions and to achieve a successful result.

Download or read book Steam powered workshops as model written by Volker Koch and published by Verlag für Technik und Handwerk. This book was released on with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of steam engines to drive machine tools was the cornerstone of the first industrial revolution, and it was only the use of electric motors that made the complicated - and not entirely harmless - transmissions superfluous. No wonder, then, that model makers are also fascinated by such workshops with their complex mechanics. But how do you build such a workshop? Can you build it yourself? Or can commercially available components be used to create an attractive steam workshop? Volker Koch answers these questions and many more in his extensively illustrated book, which revives a fascinating piece of technical history. From the content: Driving machines, transmissions, operating models The "three-part machine system” Driving machines for model workshops Transmissions for model workshops Operating models for model workshops Drive by a simple model locomobile Robust self-made steam engine A simple hammer mill with steam drive Model workshop with Märklin components A simple Mamod layout Self-made operating models

Download or read book Building Model Steam Engines for Beginners written by Jase Robbin and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-12-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Model steam engines are scaled-down manifestations or prototypes of steam-driven propulsion systems that were operational in factories, ships, and full-scale steam locomotives throughout the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. These functional models are frequently constructed to scale and employ the same fundamental principles as their larger counterparts. Fundamental elements of model steam engines consist of: Similar to conventional steam engines, the furnace is an essential component. Water is heated to generate vapor. The steam engine is the mechanical device responsible for transforming the energy present in steam into motion. Typical components consist of a crankshaft and a piston. Cylinder: The expansion of steam within the cylinder converts thermal energy into mechanical labor by pushing a piston. Flywheel: This component is frequently included to reduce engine vibration. During the power stroke, the flywheel stores energy, which it subsequently discharges for the remainder of the cycle. Fuel Source: To heat the boiler and generate steam, model steam engines may utilize solid fuel tablets, liquid fuels, or even electricity. For a variety of reasons, model steam engines are popular among collectors and hobbyists: Constructing and managing a model steam engine can impart practical knowledge of fundamental engineering principles, mechanics, and thermodynamics. Historical Interest: A considerable number of devotees derive pleasure from recreations of steam power on a smaller, more feasible scale, due to its profound historical significance. The construction of model steam engines frequently necessitates meticulous craftsmanship, and numerous enthusiasts derive immense satisfaction from fabricating elaborate and visually appealing prototypes. Hobby Communities: Model steam engine enthusiasts participate in communities where they exchange information, experiences, and creations. It is noteworthy to mention that although certain model steam engines are straightforward and intended for novices, others can be quite intricate and demand a substantial degree of proficiency and expertise to assemble and operate in a secure manner. Furthermore, it is critical to observe safety protocols when handling live steam due to the elevated temperatures and pressures involve

Download or read book The Steam Engine and Other Heat Engines written by James Alfred Ewing and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Steam-Engine and Other Heat-Engines When I undertook some years ago to prepare an article on the Steam-Engine and other Heat-Engines for the Encyclopaedia Britannica it seemed that the subject might be appropriately treated by following the general lines which had been found suitable in lecturing to students of engineering. The article was accordingly written on these lines, but necessarily in a very condensed form. From the time of its publication I have hoped to expand it into a University Text-book, and have been encouraged by more than one other teacher to believe that such a text-book might be useful. The present work is the outcome of that intention: it is based on the Encyclopaedia article, but the additions and changes have been so considerable that except for parts of one or two Chapters the book is virtually new. The design has been to treat not only of the thermodynamics of the steam-engine, but of other aspects of the subject which admit of theoretical discussion, such as the kinematics of the slide-valve and the kinetics of the governor and of the moving mechanism as a whole, and also to give a general, if brief, account of the forms taken by actual engines and of the manner of their working. No attempt has been made to describe details particularly, but the distinguishing features of certain types have been indicated. In doing this the greatest amount of space has been given to the less familiar forms, on the principle that a student need be at no loss to learn the construction of engines of the commoner kinds. Air, gas, and oil engines are noticed, as well as steam-engines. The endeavour throughout has been to make evident the bearing of theory on practical issues.
