Eine Dampfpumpe or a steam pump
Sanjay F:
Thanks Roger & Michael
That's amazing he does it from his garage; the castings look high well designed and good quality. I can see how he has taken the best elements of each of the engines in the pictures and merged them into his design, very clever :ThumbsUp:
Annoyingly the bits I've ordered have a delivery date of Jan 5th, I should've looked more carefully before pressing the 'buy' button ::).
Jasonb:
There looks to be a reasonable number of parts there that could be done without being able to thread/tap though possibly not enough to keep you going until the 5th.
Maybe put it to one side and squeeze in another project until the tools arrive.
steamer:
I'd love to see this pump driven off the front of a steam launch engine.
Love the design
Dave
Sanjay F:
I thought I'd start on the 'largest' and most complex bit first which is the pump body; if this goes wrong all the other pieces are a little unnecessary ;D
Interestingly the drawings do not give the the vertical and horizontal distances which I've indicated with red arrows, however, the casting has indents on it marking the positions
Michael S.:
I'm familiar with that from my hand pump and generator. However, these markings are very precise, and I suspect he did it because a specific measurement isn't crucial here.
