Re: Stanley Steam Automatic - 4 years ago
Hi Ron, The chief reason for me was ease of use. I can draw just about anything. I work with the 3D model then break it down to 2D. I look at it as something that CAD SW 2000 lasted for 16 years, and is used today. So I was offered a 2016 seat at a less price I have both now Talking about the creative features, I couldn't find a product that was easy to use .. There are easy ways to send aby Jeremy Holmes - SteamStuff

Im lucky that I bought my solidworks software before it was bought out by Dassault Systemes. The last version I got was definitely the last real version of solidworksby Jeremy Holmes - SteamStuff
Re: Stanley Steam Automatic - 4 years ago
Yep, that's a problem with a lot of CAD programs, they require a formal education process, instead of jumping straight in to it and trying to decipher it like a puzzle. It's distracting and ruins the whole creative process. I started with Solidworks back in 1999 then upgraded to 2000. I paid $6500 for my seat and $4000 for the windows NT computer. That's how I became a windows NT admin.by Jeremy Holmes - SteamStuff

Re: Stanley Steam Automatic - 4 years ago
For a Stanley automatic I'd definitely use a beryllium copper diaphragm as the metal is very tolerant of extreme distortion, far more so than brass which is an absolute no-no for such use. just a side note beryllium copper, is poisonous, use care when grinding or machining.by Jeremy Holmes - SteamStuff

I remember Jim Crank mentioned a quartz rod in place of the brass rod. I have the flyer from the 2017 summer meet, about double history, Jim's Book. We should all be reading that right now. I not about to unfold my tent to get the flyer. But hows that going? I would pay 350 dollars for it.by Jeremy Holmes - SteamStuff

Haaaaa about the physic's talk about specific gravity I don't use a float level with my design, I have been doing some experimenting with my feedpump lately, and have been posting on another site (yes I own it) . By this Wednesday I will get my master links and 1 additional sprocket, Im making adjustments to engine driven feed pump gear ratio. since the float is at saturation temperby Jeremy Holmes - SteamStuff

I received conformation that my Ferris collage transcripts are located.and being sent to me. One other thing worth noting is that I was a process engineer for an automotive alloy wheel re-manufacturer(for over ten years). I built these huge lathes that have a 24in swing and were constructed by me. there were 3 total with 30hp direct drive (belt) and spun about 850 rpm.

Re: Finally Building an Engine - 4 years ago
Hi Ken, They won't, in any way, pay attention to a thing I would say. Mostly it would depend on whatever documentation you can provide I know that was kind of kidding with you. Im going to wait and see if my transcripts are able to be produced, then go from there. If I can... My goal is to get back in school as an engineer. Best Jeremyby Jeremy Holmes - SteamStuff
Re: Finally Building an Engine - 4 years ago
I just sent for my transcripts from Ferris it was back in 1990 to 1992. If I get them I will be surprised... But its worth a shot. One thing that I like about SACA is that it embraces education. I think last year there was many engineers that are an asset to the club during the meet. Which is a good asset for the club.

Re: Finally Building an Engine - 4 years ago
I wish I was alumni but I have to take "shop floor" for a whole semester, no way I can do that... However Ken, you could petition Ferris to give me school credit, for being a re certified ASE Master tech for 23 years.and Certified ASE Advanced level specialist.. Not to mention 3 US utility patents. And a member of SAE for five years.by Jeremy Holmes - SteamStuff

The following is a test that you can make it so that the steel parts dont rust under firing cycles. this piece has not rusted and its been fired hundreds of times. The coating really works good. its 201Cotronicsby Jeremy Holmes - SteamStuff
Re: 4 cycle Flash Steam Engine - 4 years ago
I wont be displaying the current prototype untill its fully constructed. While I got your attention, I may display parts and subsystems. I think that you should put the design on paper, then make a schematic and follow thru with that design. Workmanship is critical and should be perfected.

Re: 4 cycle Flash Steam Engine - 4 years ago
You guys will have to disregard some of my posts. I ended up buying my own forum and customized the structure so that I can post youtube music videos in there own section, in this way they have there place. I did a mock-up recently and see what I have to do. Lots of work I am making a new combustion chamber and after burner section.

Tell you what, im going to build the whole section of bends from the helix and well will see if your 3D printer is large enough. Im going to whip up a 3D model and we will have a better idea can be done. This is one of those things that has to be custom fit. With a working plastic part I can then go thru the process of making it with a CNC tubing bender or something. I have a guy that will bby Jeremy Holmes - SteamStuff
Re: Finally Building an Engine - 4 years ago
Zimirken, I just wanted to see if the files are compatible. The helix I sent you is the easy part. At the top of the helix a pipe comes out at a right angle. The bottom is a couple of free bends. I made the images solid because its probably easier that way. I would like to make a exact copy then install it and see if it fits.
