The use of steam engines to drive machine tools was the cornerstone of the first industrial revolution, and it was only the use of electric motors that made the complicated - and not entirely harmless - transmissions superfluous. No wonder, then, that model makers are also fascinated by such workshops with their complex mechanics. But how do you build such a workshop? Can you build it yourself? Or can commercially available components be used to create an attractive steam workshop? Volker Koch answers these questions and many more in his extensively illustrated book, which revives a fascinating piece of technical history. From the content: Driving machines, transmissions, operating models The "three-part machine system” Driving machines for model workshops Transmissions for model workshops Operating models for model workshops Drive by a simple model locomobile Robust self-made steam engine A simple hammer mill with steam drive Model workshop with Märklin components A simple Mamod layout Self-made operating models
Model Railroader Associate Editor Cody Grivno compiles insider tips and projects from Model Railroader as well as favorite projects from his ‘Cody’s Office’ online feature into one exciting volume. Easily recognized as an expert in the model railroad community, Cody covers tools, painting and decaling, weathering, track and wiring, structures, scenery, locomotives, and freight cars in his friendly, knowledgeable style.
The book is meant for first year BE/B.Tech. students and addresses the course curriculum in Mechanical Experiments and Workshop Practice. The book explains theory and methodology of performing experiments about: " Mechanics " Strength of Materials " Materials Science The book also includes: " IC Engines " Steam Engines " Boilers " Steam Turbines " Water Turbines and Pumps Manufacturing processes and workshop experiments are included in workshop practice which cover: " Machining " Welding " Metal forming " Casting " Carpentry and Plumbing Key Features: " It provides a large number of diagrams for easy understanding of tools and equipment. " A large number of viva and objective type questions are also given.The concepts and principles of working of various common mechanical machinery such as bi-cycle, motorcycle, lift, escalator, hovercraft, aircraft, helicopter, jet engine and rocket have been explained. Similarly the constructional details and principles of working of commonly used household appliances such as desert cooler, air conditioner, refrigerator, washing machine, ceiling fan, tubelight and iron box have been included.
A guide to building simple oscillating steam engine models. It describes the making of four such models: Kitty, a small overtype engine; Otto, a simple steam turbine plant; Wencelas, a superior Christmas present; and Henry a 19th-century vertical engine and boiler.
This practical, instructional book describes the construction of a model of the Lampitt portable steam engine, which dates back to 1862, and which provided rotative power to drive threshing machines, circular saws, feed mills and other farm machinery. The construction of every component is described in precise detail and the text is supported by many helpful step-by-step photographs. In addition, useful advice is provided about obtaining materials and about the tools that are required to equip a model-engineering workshop. Accordingly, the information provided in this fascinating book will enable the reader to construct not only the Lampitt engine but also many other engineering models in the future. When the reader has finished building 'the Lampitt' he will, in effect, have completed an engineering apprenticeship, and will have a model engine of which he can be proud and which fully reveals the skills that he has learned. Fully illustrated with 142 step-by-step colour photographs.
