Thanks for that. I've been buying some brass and fiddling about. The flash plates would have to be thicker or reinforced. Also, instead of bending and shaping long jet pipes, you could use automotive black rubber tubing plugged onto short stub-pipes on the boilers and then attached to the side of the boat. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

I bought it from a hobby shop. If I remember correctly, I bought a pack of assorted thicknesses.

Did you ever make a functional engine? I think I may do something using my 3d printer and make a few engines. Maybe not v8 but start with two to see if it is any faster before upgrading more.

No, I never got around to making one. I haven't ruled it out, but it's not one of my current priorities.

what do you think would happen if you connected the pairs of cylinders instead of using vent pipes with caps.

So long as they end up flash-boiling in unison (and I believe that they would), I think that would be a great innovation!

Where did you get the thin sheet for the diaphragm?

no problem with the solder melting????????????

I ran that little one I made for hours. The solder around the flash plate is kept cool by the water/steam; you just have to make sure that the heat from the candle doesn't go directly up to the solder around the diaphragm.
