The James Webb Space Telescope launch AND Quinn's boiler making steam on the same day? Now that's what I call an Industrial Revolution.
Who would have thunk an adequate little safety valve would have been so allusive? A long road but seeing the engine run on live steam had to be VERY rewarding.
Yay! It's Blondihacks time!! Merry Christmas, Quinn!!
Way to go Quinn, it's a thing of beauty
Essential milestone indeed! All the rest is housekeeping (still necessary, though). Well done, inspector signs the paperwork, drinks all round, etc.
Heck yeah the moment we've been waiting for!
Apart from Quinn's depth and breadth of knowledge and sheer virtuosity on machine tools, her blow-by-blow commentary and Sahara dry sense of humor well exceed the price of admission. I'm addicted to this channel.
I liked your fix on the original valve . If you have room you should ad a short helper spring . That won't seat the ball but will ease the pressure for the mane spring to seat the ball
Thanks and Happy Holidays.
Choo choo!
Thanks for the reminder about CO.
And thanks for giving your viewers a (blurry) look inside one of Kozo's groundbreaking books. The wealth of excellent illustrations continues through the whole book, and series. The best.
That is some achievement. Yay!!!!
Woot! Woot! Gratz!!!
This is where I learned what hysteresis is, which came up in conversation today about sump pump controls. So thanks again for that.
That is one beautiful boiler, I really like the vertical form, and that will be great with a feed pump added to your engine. Thanks!
This has been a most enjoyable series this year: Watching Quinn build a thing that I will never in my life attempt to build, all the while learning so many things about the process of fabrication and machining.
Hard work and perseverance have paid off! Now all you have to do is get onto Santa's naughty list and you get to have fun and get a cheap supply of coal to fuel a boiler! Win/Win!
Yaaaaaaay. Fire in the hole!!!!
There's no finer feeling than seeing your boiler make steam and your cylinder(s) turn that steam into movement. Well done, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Merry JWST Launch Day, everyone!
Go science go!
A vous aussi bonnes fêtes
Now that is quite the Christmas present. Congratulations on first Steam.
Congratulations 🎉 and Happy Festivus
Great boiler making. Merry Christmas.
Best video yet!
The bandsaw disassembly part(s) were the best!
Nicely done
Very nice job the boiler has turned out beautiful 👍👍👍
Steam and torque gets you coffee, I might point out 😊
Though I'm a cabinetmaker by trade, I love watching you work and learn on small items. Strangely enough, another favourite CZcams channel of mine is Cutting Edge Engineering, who tends to work on oversize machinery for a living.
Fantastic, congratulations Quinn so good the hear your engine running on your new boiler
Very nice! Can't wait to see it all piped up. It is recommended to replace the steel ball after using a hammer to seat it.
Great Job Quinn!!! Love that you dont mind having a go at modifying and making new safety valves etc :) soon you wont be buying any parts at all! People will be asking for a Quinn Co. Steamomatic Boiler Kit soon enough!!!
So cool! Your channel has been a great inspiration to me this last year. This spring i bought a mill and a lathe and i have been building up on tools and doing small projects through the summer and autumn and now i have ordered my first model steam engine kit that will probably arrive this monday, it will be really fun to build! Happy hollidays and thanks for the great inspiration!
Awesome! Congrats on your first engine kit! 😄
Hi Quinn, just wanted to say what a beautiful work you’ve done! I do wish to comment on the mention of this valve being used as a pressure regulator valve at ~5:40 point. Boiler Safety Valves are safety devices and not part of normal operations. If a Fireman is causing the the Safety Valve to lift on a regular basis it would likely end his employment. Boiler pressure should be regulated by matching the firing rate with the Steam output. I understand that a quick closing of the steam stop will cause a pressure spike and subsequent Safety Valve lifting but this would be the exception not the rule. Marine Boiler Safety valve lift pressure is set at 10% above the MAWP (maximum allowable working pressure) and adjusted by changing spring tension. The Blowdown is adjusted by moving the huddling chamber or seating ring. Valves are designed to blowdown below MAWP even while at max firing rate to be assured of protection of the personnel. There are good cutaways of Marine Boiler Safety Valves on the internet.
Next, a hard-rock gold mine or a grist mill to make use of your motor? Great stuff, love your videos.
I'm watching your latest project on a boiler. I am impressed to say the least.
Owing to family holiday nonsense I was unable to watch when this episode appeared. It's just as delightful and satisfying as I hoped it would be. Thanks and happy new year!
I love that you include everything that didn't work and the progression to the things that do.
What a way to steam into Christmas!
Merry Christmas Quinn! Was hoping for a new "Night Before Christmas" story for machinists ; ) Will view last year's. That was so creative!
Hehe, that was exhausting to produce so there may not be another one. 😁
@@Blondihacks I bet it did take a few hours to make that video
Every time I would see that the week's video was steam I would groan. Every week I watched with anticipation and excitement and finally contentment with the machining, theory, and humor. Congrats on the completion of this project. You are a very talented young woman. Looking forward to the next project. Paul (Patron).
My experience with safety valves for boilers are, that once they pop they don't stop.
On the plus side, it looked kind of homey to see that string of smoke slipping out of the evacuation pipe.
We always tried our hardest not to activate them, because everyone knew that they would be leaking until next shutdown and revision.
Good times! :)
@@markfergerson2145 I have asked myself the "in this day and age" argument myself many times :)
The safetyvalves construction might be hard to explain in text, but essentially in/out take valves from an engineblock, size XXXL and then a spring at 25 bar attached to it. Technically the spring was pneumatic pressure, but principle is the same.
Probably crud as you say, but also these sort of things need maintenance which always is the first thing to go during cutbacks. The valve might seat good enough in one position, then it blows and rotates a bit and will have to be battered down, I imagine.
@@PhilG999 we have the same rules in Sweden. Also, one valve must be able to deal with 4 times the production, and always at least double valves. They must be situated in such a way that when you turn of one, the second will always be on.
There is more to valves then people think :)
Elegant, fit for any steampunk movie.
Joyeux Noel 🎄
This is awesome, I love that hiss-pump sound of of the engine. I kind of want to see you charge a phone with it :).
18:20 Legend! That must be soooo satisfying!
Neat!
And Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Thanks, and Meow to Sprocket.
Its not complete but the fit and finish already surpasses the electric model. Happy holidays.
*This* Revolution was televised! (sorry... just couldn't help myself.)
Happy Holidays Quinn!
I have really enjoyed this series with ALL the details you have given.
Props for using the the word 'hysteresis' correctly... heck props for using it at all!
OK... leaving.
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤
From Connecticut
Merry Christmas 🎅
So happy with this status.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all.
A couple of methods I've used to true up a flywheel that is off center. 1) use a round file to remove material inside the hub. The outside may need to be recut to get rid of hump after adjustment. 2) bore and sleeve the center hole.
I have that same Kozo Shay book. It's a true treasure!
Very, very nice. I'm so happy to see this all coming together!
And your model(s) are so good. Really great!
A Blondihacks video on Christmas day? Its a Quinnmas miracle!
Koso’s books are amazing, I gave them to me for Christmas
Thanks Quinn - merry Christmas
Can't wait to see you complete this one!
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas Quinn!🎄
Very cool to see it al come together… congrats… can’t wait to see the final steps
Congratulations on a successful startup! It's so satisfying seeing both of these projects come together. I admit I was a little concerned (ok, a lot concerned) when you started modifying the safety relief valve but my only experience with a boiler (somewhat) like yours is a boiling water reactor; it's amazing how easily you can spook nuclear people with steam and pressure vessels, even tiny ones :)
I'm not sure why EXACTLY I'm so fond of your channel. Your a far better teacher than many, your wonderfully articulate, many of your posts are about just what I'm dealing with, and you make stuff I thought I could care nothing about, yet you have made me interested!! (E.G. steam stuff). A Joy filled holiday season to you Quinn!
Runs smooth!
Congratulations! Excellent work!
Nicely done Quinn!! 👍👍👍
Great job! So fun! I always use a least 3 recessed grub screws on flywheels, that way I can true up most any wobble
I am seriously loving this project.
Its a christmas miracle!
Nothing like a spot of steam fun on Christmas day, well done for a nice video 👍.
Yaaaaaay! 🎉🎉 🎉 🎇 🎇 🎇 That's awesome! Well done, I've watched along with you building it and you've done a great job. Bet you're stoked as (I was) when that flywheel turned by itself for the first time. 👏 👏 👏
The lifting pressure of the safety valve is going to be the port area the ball is blocking but the closing pressure will be the projected area of the ball (or the ball plus carrier). With the ball in carrier design, you probably need to have more than the two filed flats so that the carrier is not acting as a pressure restriction. Perhaps more holes in the top too, so the only pressure inside the valve is from the steam passing through. (Thoughts from a bloke who has not done as much with steam as you...)
You made it!!! Finally well done now bigger and add a generator set and make useful power!!!
Great milestone to wrap up the year. It's looking very pretty.
Well done, this a huge milestone, Quinn you are an amazing machinist and artist !!!
Thank you. The whole series has been very educational. I enjoyed every second.
Nicely done! Lovely to see the engine run on steam!
Main Steam Models would be proud ... looks good ... so far ...
Great little engine, love the time and attention to detail - watched every installment. Merry Christmas-!!
Congratulations Quinn! Thank you for sharing this with us. Happy Holidays to you and Sprocket.❤
Congratulations on the run. Pretty neat to see all that coming together.
Congrats on your finished boiler Quinn. Very Nice!
Congratulations Quinn!
Absolutely beautiful! Well done and Merry Christmas!
Very well put together. Thank you Quinn
Congrats!!
Wonderful - I could watch it run all day 😇
Sweet! Such fun to see the project get past proof of concept!
Woooo!!!!! Actual fire driven steam engine...awesome!!!!!
Congratulations! Awesome accomplishment 👏
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays Quinn! So rewarding to see your engine running on steam today. I'm surprised that the burner has a hard time keeping up with the steam needed. The engine is not even under load. Well, we'll see where you go as you take us along. Thanks for your generosity in showing us your builds.
Amazing milestone! Congratulations!
Christmas had come. Amazing work! I loved the whole series, thank you for sharing this with us!
Very cool project. Thanks for posting
Great intro! Absolutely fantastic! Congratulations on the working boiler.
Merry Xmas....thanks so much for the education and entertainment. Wonderful to see the boiler working.
Coming along well Quinn.👍👍
Merry Christmas Quinn, looking forward to another year with Saturday videos, keep up the good work! Åke
Great job!!!!
