I have made the compressor tank into a platform for the tesla turbine and to be determined generator set up. I have yet to burn off even the Imron powder coating, the stove element chipped some of it. Not much concern for Tig welds at 350-600f, the welds actually stay cooler than surrounding 4mm+ wall mild steel. britgaskets.ca . This improvised unit is a 10lb generator dry 20 or so with water. Had test in closed area today of boiler at a boiler shop of 110psi no issues. I am going to cut some 6" end flanges for proper 6" steel pipe boiler next week and add a steam cap to top as well as a steel plug 2" filler. The length will be close to this 18" tank but have a 1.5" tube running through the length that will act as a shotgun flue drafting the fire exhaust. I am tapping off the turbine exhaust and feeding a valved 1/4" NPT pipe into section in boiler tube so that the draw on fuel can be adjusted and made to effectively contribute to stable running pressure. Cut 20 stainless disks today for 15 disk custom turbine, should get that underway next week once final word is given. . DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS!! PRESSURIZING AN UNTESTED AIR TANK CAN CAUSE EXPLOSIONS, DAMAGE TO THE HOSES, BURNS, FIRE, LOSS OF LIFE, AND LOSS OF PROPERTY!! THEY MUST BE ABLE TO TAKE HEAT AND 2-3x PRESSURES REQUIRED. IT MAY ALSO BE ILLEGAL IN YOUR AREA. DON'T EVEN THINK IT!! . 100psi and under is considered "hobby" and I sure trust the tig welds more than say a silver soldered copper boiler. 2 relief valves 1 ...
Steam Turbine
I bought this turbine some time ago from an engineer in Germany who was building a model of an AEG power station. This turbine was a prototype, seen here steaming at 1.5bar.
29000 rpm, at about 25 psi. 4 5/8" diameter rotor

I'm using a Cheddar/Stuart 3500 boiler to provide steam for this French made Jc Steam 'Proteus' turbine. I would benefit from a larger boiler, but this one is ok for demonstration. The turbine is a single stage, self starting, steam turbine, with 'De Laval' type steam acceleration nozzles and fully variable forward and reverse speed control throttle, complete with servo control arm. The turbine is machined by computer numerical control (CNC) from solid aluminium and is mounted on a fully ball raced, balanced 8mm diameter stainless steel shaft, driving a 4mm wide machine cut main gear, with metric 0.5 mod pitch, to produce an overall ratio of 8.7:1 through a 1/4" diameter output shaft. Steam Pressure: 35 85psi Output RPM (Approx): 1200RPM @ 45-60psi. 1700RPM @ 65-80psi

Steam Turbine Disassembly
Put together a steam turbine to test out. Using compressed air for the first test. Works pretty good so far. We will see how it handles steam soon!
Shows how a combined stop/control steam turbine valve is disassembled. The control valve is on top, and the stop valve is on the bottom. This is a popular design for both main steam stop/control valves and reheat steam stop/control valves.
This Steam Turbine is undergoing maintenance which includes replacing three rows of blades; two rows on the high pressure section, and one row on the intermediate pressure section. Simultaneous work is taking place throughout the turbine hall, and this video tries to capture the excitement of working night shift on a steam turbine outage.

This video shows a 500W custom turbine/generator unit running on an outdoor wood boiler and also a propane fired boiler system that can send heat to a home. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS!! PRESSURIZING AN OUTDOOR WOOD BOILER CAN CAUSE EXPLOSIONS, DAMAGE TO THE BOILER, BURNS, FIRE, LOSS OF LIFE, AND LOSS OF PROPERTY!! THEY AREN'T MEANT TO TAKE THIS PRESSURE. IT MAY ALSO BE ILLEGAL IN YOUR AREA. DON'T EVEN THINK IT!! I am an engineer with a stress analysis on all these parts!! Enjoy the video!! It's a great project with a bright future.
3D animation showing steam from the Nuclear Reactor flowing to the turbines. When the steam reaches the turbines, the steam pressure against the turbine blades causes the turbine shaft to spin. Attached to the shaft is a generator, which consists of a large electromagnet that turns inside a stationary coil of wire. This turning motion produces electricity.

Fantastic Model Karsten Gintschel direct drive steam turbine power plant. The micro dynamo on the back of the turbine is turning at the full speed of the turbine. Watch as the lights get brighter and brighter as the turbine spools up. These little lamps put out a tremendous amount of light, for such a tiny turbine and generator.

Here's the second vid, after patching up a few leaks. The camera mic really doesn't do it justice.
I don't feel like mixing the long video right now, so here's a quick demo of my "new" engine. The B35 dates from between 1925 - 1930, and might have been made up until 1940, according to Mr Stilson's book. This engine arrived in very decent condition. I had to replace a seal here, and rebuild the safety valve, but after that it ran like a champ. Though by the end of my playtime the sight glass sprung a very bad leak, so I will have to service that before it can be run again. The camera microphone really does not do it justice. It produces a nice whine the is pleasingly loud without being *too* loud. Enjoy.

1/32 Scale Live Steam Turbine F7 created by Kosaku Wada, Yokohama, Japan. Original footage shot October 24, 1992 at the Yokohama livesteam Club. Re-edited for youtube 11 February 2008.
Here's the T90 I just got. Thought I'd shoot a quick overview of it and some running, since there doesn't seem to be much decent footage of this engine out there. For the money it's a decent model. Large half litre boiler, like the D22, but it lacks the drain valve. The base is also smaller, making it more compact than the D22. I'm firing it with my largest Forest Classics meths burner. I'm surprised that it maintained pressure so well considering how much steam it goes through. I was able to hold at a good 1.5bar indicated with the burner around peak output. It ran both the PMR and stepper generators just fine too. It's a little weird also to be running a steam engine and not slopping oil all over it: this unit needs no oil. The feet of the base have some cracks in them, but it does not affect the function of the unit, and considering it cost me a grand total of $180, I'm satisfied. It's no Jensen 95G in the looks department, but it's more within my means than a 95G is.
