  • @Insomniac3d
    @Insomniac3d Před 3 lety

    that centrifugal device is called the governor. thats what regulates steam flow to the turbine or in this case engine. if the speed drops so does the governor which then opens the valve letting more steam through, if too much steam is let in the governor automatically regulates it. it's also completely mechanical and doesn't need any electricity to run.

    • @Nico71Fr
      @Nico71Fr  Před 3 lety

      It is not a proper governor as it doesn't control the airflow but rather a display one. As explained in the article, it is not possible to make it run as a governor due to the lack of torque of the engine to run a massive governor to pinch the hose, It was the initial plan but after testing many thing, it is simply not possible to do without more torque and metal parts for weight.

    One improvement that could be made is that speed indicator. Add functionality. one more valve inline with the main air turned on and off with the speed indicator. You'll have a speed limit and ultimately a hit and miss lego engine that will automatically use air only when needed.

    I feel like you could put a lego compressor on the back of it, and have a completely self sufficient LEGO engine, besides the motors for the compressor of course.
    It most likely wouldn’t have enough power to move itself provided it had wheels, but it would be neat nonetheless.

    • @Nico71Fr
      @Nico71Fr  Před 4 lety

      Yes it is possible, but this is a little non sense to do it. If I use an electrical motor, I can power the wheel direclty. The steam machine is originally powered by steam (from coal burning), and therefore transform the heat energy in mechanical energy. If you have electrical energy, you do not need a steam transformer to have mechanical power, just an electrical motor.

    Excellent, toujours d'une qualité exceptionnelle. T'aimerais pas faire de la machine pneumatique en Lego ? Type bras de manutention, une mini usine d'assemblage par exemple ! Je te suis depuis 2010 sur setechnic, tu n'as jamais déçu ! Bravo !

      Merci à toi pour ton commentaire ! Hélas pour faire ce genre de chose j'aurais besoin de plus de pièces et ce n'est pas quelque chose que mes abonnés pourraient remonter faceilement (beaucoup trop cher), du coup je me concentre plutot sur des créations à taille humaine !

      @@choupi4719 Oui je connais très bien, je pense pas que se soit vraiment comparable en terme de stock de pièce, j'aimerais bien faire quelque chose comme ça mais l'investissement est compliqué et unique surtout. Comme je ne garde rien de monter, je me retrouverais avec beaucoup trop de pièce dont la moitié que je ne vais pas réutiliser.

      I think it is possible mechanically but if it has to work with lego pneumatic engine, the play in lego and adjustment could be a problem.

    Hello, I bought this set too long ago and noticed it did not come with the pump as am I building it. How can I pump air into the machine without the shown pump built?

    • @Nico71Fr
      @Nico71Fr  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Hello, you can use any air source with 2 bars minimum and constant flow. For instance bike pump, automotive compressor or Lego pump that you can buy on bricklink. You can connect the air source to the main inlet with a ballon needle.

    What programm do you use for your instructions?

      @Nico71Fr  Před 5 lety

      It would be a nice kinetic scultpure in deed. I use ldcad for the CAD modeling and Lpub3D for the instructions, the both are based on the ldraw part library.

    I got a question: How does it keep momentum? Is the wheel really that heavy? I made a 2 cylinder (48mm) once and it couldn't even rotate 180 degrees!

    • @Nico71Fr
      @Nico71Fr  Před 4 lety

      A inertia mecanism is essential for me to pass the hard point of the switch. You do not need if you modified your switch, here there is big radius and 5:1 rotation multiplier wich help to have big inertia.

    • @Nico71Fr
      @Nico71Fr  Před 3 lety

      I have not measured but with standard pressure of 2-3 bars, with the stroke of the cylinder and the radius of the crankshaft, it can gives 1 to 3W I think. More if the cylinders and switches are modified and more pressure, which is not the case in the video.
