"Looks like we have 0 carbon emissions here" 10 seconds later "Yeah we gotta burn some more coal"

Zero carbon emissions Meanwhile at the boiler room: *Na, Ivan, burn the Mamut, da?*

One inch closer to having a Reactor #4 powered Lada

You can call this already a small success with the very limited knowledge of steam boilers and engines these guys have. There are however a few considerations I have to give with my knowledge gathered as a steam locomotive fireman. First, a steam boiler can be an exceptional dangerous device, more hazardous than cylinders with compressed gas or even some explosives. They want to run the boiler eventually at 8 or 9 bars, at that pressure you get a boiling point of around 175°C. The water volume in this boiler I estimate around 60 liters. Steam has a volume 1800 times bigger than the water making that steam. When that boiler fails (which probably will be the weld holding the halves together) the 60 liters of water will turn into 108 cubic metres of steam in an instance, because the water escapes into atmospheric pressure of just 1 bar where its boiling point is 100°C, the amount of energy in this explosion would be the same as contained in 35 .50BMG rounds. So I would never consider even firing this boiler up to 9 bars with its strange construction and untested welds, the shrapnel from the boiler can easily kill someone. They should have done a hydraulic test first at least, by filling it up with water completely and then adding pressure with compressed air trough the valve at the top to 1.5 times the desired working pressure, which is the easy way, cold water doesn't expand when the pressure suddenly drops so is relatively safe, you could get soaked in the worst case. By this the boiler doesn't have a pressure release valve other than the manualy operated valve, when this valve can't be reached for some reason, or someone forgets to check the pressure; RUN FOR YOUR LIVE! Then there is the water in the steam, the steam is what they call wet, it means that the steam temperature is just about the evaporation temperature, so if the steam comes in contact with colder surfaces or has a slight drop in pressure in the engine it starts to condensate. This can be overcome by superheating the steam, by running the steam pipe between the boiler and engine trough the fire a couple of times, this raises the temperature of the steam without further raising the pressure, then the steam will be able to expand and cool down to some degree without condensation (the expansion causes the steam to cool down as well) Real steam engine also do have drain cocks at the working ends of the cylinders where any water which collects in the initially cold cylinders can be drained trough, at start up these are open and are closed when the cylinders are at operating temperature, just check any video of a steam locomotive starting from stand while expelling huge clouds of vapour from their cylinders. Then there is lubrication, the steam will mix up with the standard motor oil, so a special steam oil is needed.

Jay Leno collects steam cars and this should be in there as the centerpiece.

CIA Intelligence: “ our drone spotted the Russians building something...looks dangerous.”

Steam engine conversion. That's a unique way of telling the customer they have a blown head gasket.

I really laughed at "We didnt think it would run on steam, why on earth did you think that?" I guess he has seen garage 54. I really love these guys so funny and crative in a mad way. Keep up the good work fellas

1700s *steam cars* 1890s *gas engine cars* 2019 *electric cars* 2050 *steam cars*

Everything about this boiler gives me the fear... the project is cool, id just watch from a mile away 😂

I'm actually pretty impressed with these guys as shade-tree engineers. Someday I expect to see 'em turn a cement mixer into a spaceship. ;)

You every wonder if Putin watches their channel? Lol

Put the steam engine on a trailer behind the car and pull it around while driving....you’ll figure it out.

Garage 54, always welding through the paint and the rust. No surface prep leads to very real results.

Talk about rolling coal. These guys have mad skills with all the work they do. And for those who only watch the English translation, they have a whole lot of videos of all kinds that never make the translation. I love watching these guys even without the translation and always give them a thumbs up

Crazy Ivans;... a Boiler without a safety pressure relief valve is a BOMB!

You’ve gotta add a whistle

AWESOME. 🔥🔥🔥 Please put a fail safe valve on your boiler rather than a hand cranked one. *BE SAFE GUYS* 🔥🔥🔥

Looking forward to 3 years from now when these dudes are putting rockets into space.

Total respect to you guys for getting this far!

you can improve the performance by feeding steam to 2 cylinders and the exhaust of thous 2 cylinders to the next to cylinders

You crazy ingenious Russians! 🤣 thank you BMI Russian for the translation as always!

No carbon emissions! It's just as valid as in corporate economy. It's on different accounts and therefore it counts as no carbon emissions, in the car that is. The burner is a complete different story. This was one of the funniest and most ingenious project I've seen in a long time! Love it!

Put oil in your steam for better performance,stops you engine from excessive wareing and possible seizure

watching the video I realize that the energy losses of the steam systems are enormous.

just imagine being their neighbour and watching this from your window

I wish these guys would go take some tours of steam plants on older naval vessels that have been turned into museums. They are the highest efficiency examples of this technology and have a lot of innovations that could be adapted.

Idk if vlad can read this but this is my favorite youtube channel always amazing automotive experiments

Zero carbon emissions, if you forget the part in front of the steam pipe :D

These guys low key flexing with the supra and camero in the background with others lol

The best ideas are said to originate from a pub. I don't know where they hang out, but their ideas are crazy.

THEY NEED OVER PRESSURE VALVES IN THIS SYSTEM!!! Two or more designed for steam pressures and temps. I am all for these guys and dont want them to get hurt by scalding steam or flying debris. In comments please post this saftey concern. We love them and lets help them stay safe.

Finally, a Greta-friendly car. You heard the man - zero emissions.

Taking the steam from the exhaust and routing it into the smoke stack will increase draw on your fire. It will make the fire hotter. Kind of like a turbo for a steam generator

You people are insane ! Just LOVE IT 😊 Priority 1: make sure you fit a safety valve guys! 2: and some kind of injector so you can add water to the boiler while it's running. If you run out of water with that big fire underneath you'll kill the boiler, and probably yourselves with it. Basically check out what makes up a steam locomotive 😉 Most important of all guys, stay safe - and alive! We need you on KZfaq 👍

That exhaust tubing pipe bender at 7:28 was cool as hell! I've use new mostly automatic type and an old stationary hand pump hydraulic type but I've never seen a portable hand bender like that.

Episode after the next one "Can we make steam with old Soviet uranium rods?"

Now you've gotta put wheels and steering on it, put it in front of the car like a train engine

it is good to see all these young guys learning some useful skills

Gotta be the craziest thing you guys have done to date.

A good solution for a Doc Brown dilema in BTTF 3

Pressure relief valve for safety 🇬🇧

It will be amazing to see the car driving😁, you guys are legend

These guys are absolutely skilled!

"Looks like we need to burn more coal" "I don't see a problem with that" Russia, please don't pull a Sweden.

I've said it before, but there really needs to be a Garage 54 themed racing game, there's so many silly conversions and wheel variations made by them that would make some silly combinations. Imagine driving the sauna mobile with the manhole cover wheels.

You guys are crazy. But that's what I love about your KZfaq channel.

I love your show and the projects that you do. However for safety sake on the steam engine project, please add a safety valve to the boiler, to protect you from a steam drum explosion. Also, you need a way to tell the water level in the boiler. A "gage glass" , or at least a cock to tell where the water is in the boiler- that its not too low. ( or high )You could add a pump to be able to add water into the boiler while it is working. If you already thought of those things, sorry for butting in! We dont want you gentlemen getting hurt you know- Keep the shows coming!

As someone who operates steam trains this makes me happy. I want to build my own now

How about adding a steam condenser to the end of the exhaust and drain the condensed water back to the boiler?

Please please please make a trailer to tow the boiler setup, you could use flexible pipe for the connection. The chimney as stated should be wider also if you put the fan blower so its blowing up the chimney it should suck the air in and get the coals to heat up more. Maybe a separate valve to blow out the water in the line before you allow it into the engine. I think even at 1000rpm the car should have good power, steam engines generally spin slow but make good power. Great video you guys! Massive respect from the UK 👍😁

You guys are so talented but absolutely nuts! Brilliant!

I'm looking forward to part 3

Since most electricity is generated from Coal this is the most efficient thing on the road.

Great work guys, you always make me smile. Good luck getting the grinder spatter off the glass of the supra though

You need to put safety valve on there at least and a water pump to inject water. And add a boiler water gauge. So you can at least control it in some way. Run the exhaust steam pipe back up the chimney to create draw on the fire. You could also add a steam pipe up out the chimney from the boiler to create draw on the fire when not moving help create steam. Basics from steam locos. Great videos as always thanks

Greetings from the international space station!

A wood gasifier alternative would be outstanding if it hasn't already been done here on Garage 54.

I really like that boiler, gas tanks for a boiler is a great idea, I would have left them separate though instead of welding them together, I don't see the point, except tons of extra cutting and welding. Seems like you could get more pressure leaving the tanks separate and piping them together too and it would be a hell of a lot easier.

That boiler looks awesome.

I think a larger chimney would really help will the fire

It needs a water tank with injector to keep the boiler water at the right level.

One of your most impressive builds so far!

14:12 it’s freezing cold out wearing thick jackets and this guy is out in his slippers

When someone thinks of something says "egh idk if this will work" garage 54 "HOLD MY BEER"

A boiler is too dangerous and cumbersome they should have used a metal coil.

Brilliant. And I was pleased I managed to make a bottle opener from a 10 mm nut and bolt today!!

You should use the exhaust steam for a venturi in the boiler exhaust to draw the flames through the fire tubes like in a steam locomotive. You might get higher efficiency if you connect the pipes in the two tanks so they form a U shape, that way the gases have more time to transfer their heat to the water.

be carefull not to let the oil pan fill up with water and hydro lock

"On the next episode, we're going to let the water drop too low and blow ourselves to kingdom come!" Screwing around with steam and you have no clue what you're doing is a fast-track to blowing yourself up. Letting the water drop too low is just one of the many ways you can over pressurize the vessel and cause it to explode. When pressure testing a steam vessel, you don't use compressed air, you need to completely fill the tank with water then pressurized only the water with more water. The water itself doesn't actually pressurize so the pressure on the walls of the vessel does. You need to bring the pressure of only water in that vessel to twice the pressure you're going to run. If the vessel fails at that point, only water start squirting out whereas if it's under steam pressure it will explode like a bomb. Just look up pictures of blowing out steam engines. They go with Force to blow all the tubes out the front end of the engine. And, you're lucky if they do go out the front and don't come out the back where you're standing.

How cool is that!! You can shoot the exhaust steam up through the chimney to draw through more air. Steam locomotives do that. And it is probably a torque monster, and runs well in a very high gear.

Hey Garage 54, use the steam of exaust to create a vacuum on smoke box, it make a oxygen flow on combustion chamber, and its dont scare people's, it's like " omg it's a Marty mcfly on his delorean again".

still less smoke than from a Passat TDI :D

Fix it and drive it I want to see this thing in action

Can't wait to see how these guys put this all together. Kinda nuts but entertaining. Look up the steam locomotive concept

I havent seen him this pumped in awhile

Chimney above the firebox letting all the rising heat out.

Try too cook a hotdog on that steam coming out. ;)

Zero carbon emissions...if you have a small nuclear reactor! You guys are nuts! I love this channel!

Really impressive! The boiler looks really nice!

What if you make closed steam circuit , from water tank goes into intake , engine will rotate and exhaust will go back into tank hmmm

Darwin Award goes to: The guy that welded his own pressure cylinder on the floor. Congrats on making a bomb!

7:43 They welded the pipes together without beveling the end. No root pass, just slam and weld. Beveling the end allows you to weld the pipe together all the way through the thickness of the pipe, not just on the outside. It makes the weld stronger than the actual pipe! It wont hold much pressure like they welded it.. It'll probably be ok for what you're doing but its not good practice. Steam is fucking dangerous!

Awesome project cant wait to see it moving under its own steam

There is a hell of a lot of power jetting itself right out of the tail pipe. Single expansion is a real waste of the power of the steam and potentially quite dangerous four you too! The exhaust steam will happily remove the flesh from your bones.

"I think we got zero carbon emissions here" Me: didn't you use coal to heat the water?

Best episode ever. Y'all's crazy. Divinely crazy.

These people have no fear. That boiler looks hugely unknown territory and I don't think I'd be casually stood anywhere near it. Bravo!

I see my favorite Russian I click lol

Anyone else see the supra

this channel is so underrated

Just imagine seeing this drive down road smoke shooting every where

firebox chimney is way too short and narrow PS. First real comment.

There has to be a easier way to make a bomb which is exactly what you have made . When not if that explodes it will be very very messy

Your young blood workers did a great job .. Kuddos

This is very interesting! Perhaps to increase efficiency, you need to capture the heat of the exhaust gas in some way. I suggest routing a percentage of it directly in the water tank as a rudimentary form of exhaust gas recirculation, further adding to the pressure and heat. It will take up some volume and add to the overall range, making the process a bit less wasteful. Keep up the great work!

Oh lord I'm only 30 min late, how about that?

Uranium you have so much of it lying about

Steam has crazy torque potential, be sure to prep for that.

This is beautiful, blin - a car powered by the biggest samovar - Babushka would approve!
