Eine Dampfpumpe or a steam pump
Sanjay F:
I grabbed a new project from under the bench for the new year while the Stuart Grasshopper get's its paint job and final accessories.
This will all be new for me, not only my first venture into metric, but the drawings are in German, neither of which I have any experience of - what could possibly go wrong? :Lol:
I came across this little pump when Michael S was making his hand pump model and put up the link to the MBI Design Model Making website (https://mbi-design.de/wp/); I was clicking through and stumbled across the 'Doppelhubpumpe' which using Google Translate (my new friend) means 'double acting pump'.
I haven't got much in the way of metric tooling, but have a set of drill bits and bought just the taps required for the model, then discovered I have none of the hexhead metric bolts so have had to send away for those too ......hopefully they will be here by the weekend (ha, ha) and i can start machining

Hi Sanjay,
I've seen this pump a few times at exhibitions run by Ingo, the designer. The design is very interesting. Since I know Ingo personally, I might be able to help if you have any problems.
He also wanted to produce this pump on a larger scale.
I'm really looking forward to your build report.
Michael
Dave Otto:
That is a nice looking pump, looking forward to following along.

Thats a neat looking pump! Then you will need an engine to hook up the belt drive to... :popcorn:

That's great to know, thanks Michael. A bigger version would be reallty nice and Ingo must be a talented fellow to be coming up with designs such as he has, let's hope I can do it justice :ThumbsUp:
