.: The Stanley Steam Engine
Doble built some
impressive
engines, but they're awfully complex. Because I'm doing this on a
shoestring, and I intend to make the engine from scratch, I intend to
use the Stanely design. It's slightly less efficient, but
won't
be nearly the time consuming task that making a Doble engine.
Why
do I want to make the engine from scratch and not simply buy one (since
they occasionally show up on eBay)? Simple: The
original
engines are made from iron and steel. Aluminum is lightweight
and
easy to machine, so I should be able to make an engine just as good as
the original Stanley while weighing considerably less.
.: thank you!
Thank
you
for
paying attention this far. The site's always under construction, so
check back often for updates (click "Latest News" to read my blog). I
apologize if it seems like nothing ever changes, but I am not
a web designer, and unless I can get someone to volunteer to take over
handling the website, its going to take me a while to make big changes
to this site.
