Permanent Tag: Steam Engine Rating: Good Hits: 428 Comments: 0 Working Model of Stephenson's Steam Engine Made of Glass ! Rare! Working Model of Stephenson's Steam Engine Made of Glass ! Rare! This Model of Stephenson's Steam Engine was made in 2008 by master glassblower Michal Zahradn?­k. Highlights: * The crankshaft is glass. The piston is glass. The counterweight that makes the wheel spin evenly is glass. Imagine that everything is made out of glass. * There are no sealants used. All is accomplished by a perfectly snug fit. The gap between the piston and its compartment is so small, that the water that condensates from the steam seals it shut! * Notice the elaborate excessive steam exhaust system next to the piston. * The piston is the most arduous part to make due to to extreme level of precision needed. Its parts have to be so accurate that no machinery is of use here. The piston and its cylinder must be hand sanded to perfection, and they are very likely to crack in the process! On average, three out of four crack. User: Griff Nov 4, 2011 1:11 AM
Unmoderated Tag: Short Films Rating: Good Hits: 249 Comments: 0 Odysseus Odysseus The movie idea is constructed on a basis of the antique writer Homer`s "Odyssey" . In which is told about Odysseus wanderings, the king of Itaka. After war with Troy he tries to come back home, but Gods interfere with it. In difference from the original, here action occurs during an epoch of the developed technologies, mechanics and steam engines. This world is fantastic. The scene with fight of Odysseus and Cyclop Polyphemus is very indicative in this sense. The Cyclops is machine, the robot, instead of a live being as at the Homere. At the same time Odysseus the alive human, but equipped with various mechanical devices. User: Dosetaker May 26, 2009 2:34 PM
Unmoderated Tag: Games Rating: Good Hits: 661 Comments: 4 Bureau of Steam Engineering Bureau of Steam Engineering Bureau of Steam Engineering is a visually stark game of planning, building, testing, tweaking, and building some more. You are an engineer outfitting robots who are about to go into battle with deadly weapons. Using pipes and valves you must connect each mechanical part to an engine and ensure it functions properly before unleashing the machine. User: Dosetaker Jan 23, 2009 5:56 AM

Until the self-starting petrol car was introduced in 1914, steam-powered cars were in fact more popular than petrol cars. In 1919 a Stanley Steamer broke the world steam record by reaching a speed of 126 mph. Eventually, petrol engines became more advanced and easier to run, and steam cars simply went out of fashion. In 1924, the Stanley Brothers ceased prodcution; one year later, Henry Ford sold his 1 millionth petrol car. The car in this video was built in 1919. It has a detachable hood, weighs two tons and is painted racing green. The steam car uses an internal boiler, heated by a petrol/diesel mix, to run a steam engine. The car sounds exactly like a steam train when it accelerates, before reaching the breakneck speeds of 30mph. Not very many Stanleys exist today. Peter Coles Peter Coles has been an engineer all his life, and takes a passionate interest in steam power. He drives scheduled steam trains in Poland as a hobby. At his Hertfordshire home he restored a whole traction engine, which he later sold for something a little less ungainly. He bought the Stanley steam car as a wreck and spent two years restoring it to full working order. He often takes the car to steam fairs and carnivals, and hires it out for weddings.
