Or the Stack Eulands?

hell's steam punkers ?

@@duggydugg3937 lol

They can market it as an evolution of the latest harley-davidson technology.

U r right bro

Ur right , good comment

👍

After six years in engineering school, seeing this makes me feel both amazed and disappointed. Building this kind of wonderful machine is the reason I got into engineering but now I realize that I haven't learn much and hope I can get something as amazing as that bike working before I die.

@@yoyoo50 If you want to build something then build it don't procrastinate about it

BEST in Show - GUARANTEED!

Yes exactly

Same at a steam show I reckon

Agreed! The "music" destroys concentration and atmosphere.

Sound is such an important part of experiencing a steam engine. Let the machine do the talking...

Yup, the cheesy canned generic rock and roll rears it's ugly head once more.

Saner? Perhaps unless we all go crazy waiting for steam to come up while we slowly recreate the famous London Fog.. ha ha ha

oh ..music... that's what ythat is

I might actually feel safe on a steamcycle if it had a sidecar.

Have the firemen in the sidecar

Good comment

Yes it will look great. Great idea.

I don't think it has the beans to pull a sidecar and passenger

Too bad this man wasn't Scottish, He'd be Scotty, on StarTrek, great,great grand father.

I completely agree. I'm just wondering why he decided to use the Steam Tank fro structure and not build an undercarriage. Now, it's obvious his Steam Bike is for home use and for driving around the Neighborhood, but I am still left wondering. It saves on room not having an under-carriage and on weight as well. The tank is solid enough for structure, but the handles are directly welded to the Pressure tank and the front-end is supported by the tank and tank alone. That's concerning from a structural point of view. Let me be clear when I say that I also agree, his workmanship is impeccable. And you certainly don't need to have a degree to be an engineer, and Sandy proves that. I'm just wondering why he didn't build an under-carriage or uni-body.

@@theshadowsovereign8914 in terms of traction engines (sometimes referred to as steam tractors in North America), the British tradition is to use the boiler as thr structural part of the vehicle as well as the source of power, so maybe he got inspiration.

@@alexhando8541 Yes, I just googled 'STEAM TRACTOR' and went directly to the images section. These Steam Tractors are considerably larger than the bike and they also use the tank as structure. Makes sense since these are huge tanks, but then again the wheels are mounted to the bottom of the tank, not the top of the tank. That is putting strain and stress and the mount points of the handlebars. The wheels are not 'holding' the tank in position, they're 'hanging' the tank into position. Albeit the fact Sandy installed 4 mounting points for the handlebars to the tank, it would have been more structurally sound if the handlebars would have 'cradled' the tank, instead of 'hanging' the tank. This is an observation. I am invested in this as it has peaked my interest. It's a wonderful build. I'm a Plumber by trade, so I know what it's like working with copper and steam lines. This work is amazing. And please don't mistake my observation as being critical or being subjective. It is an objective point to a legitimate engineering question. Thank you for taking the time to reply to my comment. :)

Best custom motorcycle # 1

Except it functions worse than 140 year old steam motorcycles (velocipedes).

Guarda un po'' questa moto a vapore dei primi del '900. Era impegnativa...

@@mrnickbig1 Remember.first speed records!!! The 'Jeantaud" and "Jamais Contente".struggling at about 100 Km/hour to win de prize !!! Who won? Electric or Steam power ? (I beg your pardon, English is not my.mother language)

... so it's running go premium.

Thanks for the explanation.

Good clarity, intelligent

A lot of truth in that, although a good grade Dry Welsh Steam Coal is just as high quality and clean burning, with just a touch more volities which makes it more controllable, very good steam raising, as well as a little easier to light. Currently easily available and no more expensive than Chinese anthracite, although all that may change is the welsh government is refusing to renew Foss-y-fran's extraction license.

Couldn't they grind the Anthracite into a powder? I read that it burnt very well and there was a steam train design that used powder coal.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought of the Doble cars when I saw this.

Yes & steam cars are a level of magnitude safer than a steam bike. And the stanly steamer held the speed record for a long time!

@sourand jaded interesting ideas but the aggression and insults were uncalled for. Let people make what they wanna make

Love to see that come together!

Good comment

It helps letting of some steam :p

Fred would sure be proud. I can hear his excitement now

I wonder if they knew each other or knew of each other?both simply brilliant.

A perfect summary

MrDerbee; I just came here to say something similar. Imagine the creation those two could come up with. Cheers!
