40ft Steamboat Project FIRST STEAM UP
Рет қаралды 40,201
8 жыл бұрынThe first and second steam-up of S.Y. Persistence. Steaming up "on the hard" recommended for every "new" steamboat to work out the bugs while still firmly planted on dry ground. We've solved several issues, and have had several successful steams now.
We've steamed her up several times now using a propane weed burner, a kerosene vaporizing burner, steam atomizing burner, and wood.

If that was mine, I'd put a jump seat right about where your toolbox was and just stare at that engine working. Beautiful machinery!

+Wesley Harcourt lol. it isnt much. its actually a funny story. i went to a construction institute and i kind of got put there at random learning hvac. when i appologised to my teacher for not being very interested he agreed to pass me if i built something in the shop that worked when built so i built a boiler out of copper tubing lying around the shop :) and he passed me lol

Would love to hear that nice whistle.
@WesleyHarcourtSTEAMandMORE 7 жыл бұрын
The bell was a bit out of adjustment at the time of the video and was embarrassing to hear. We worked on getting it closer without annoying the neighbors... It sounds MUCH better now... The whistle was made by our friend Bruce Heppler out of a brass artillery shell.

Ah I see that makes sense, I' thinking of making an artillery shell whistle myself, shouldn't be to hard

The safety glass around the crank area is probably a really good idea, but it really hurts the aesthetic doesn't it?

Very impressive, is that a stainless steel boiler?
@WesleyHarcourtSTEAMandMORE 7 жыл бұрын
HistoricSteamTV- Thank you! No, it's a boiler built with ASME required grades of carbon steel. The casing is steel painted with silver paint.

need to put it into Lake Tahoe to check her out.

tandem compound we'd like to but the marinas want your first born child, and your first born's first born, for the monthly dock fee. We'll be keeping her in the California Delta.
