Jensen model #60on a #100 workstation. I call it a #60S
« on: November 07, 2019, 04:06:09 pm »
Something different. This is my creation. Jensen did not make these.
A Jensen #60 mounted to a #100 workstation.
I call it my #60S prototype  001.
I think it will be great for kids to watch at the shows.
There is a link to see it run below

Hi Jack, interesting build, Jensen should have thought of something like that, have you considered using the small drive hub next to the flywheel to maybe slow it down a bit & gain power ? this is a neat all in one plant with tooling.

That is a great idea. I will have to give it a try. I'm planning to make / modify an electric heater for version 002. I think the drive hub would work. Plus a heat shield under the boiler.

"I'm planning to make / modify an electric heater for version 002" ,how do you plan to "electrify the #60s 002 ?"

Neat setup Jack, well done !

@Bruce
Just a guess, but https://www.hotwatt.com/ has several options, that could heat it sufficiently.

Yes , hotwatt would work,  just wonder what route would be chosen ? Could get a short heater and solder a bung in there 😊 (hummm...sounds like a neat idea 😉👍) I have plenty of hotwatt heaters 😉

Personally i´d prefer "bellyheating" on such a small boiler.

Very little water left for steaming, if the level has to be kept above an immersionheater, in a relatively short 2 1/8" boiler.

I had also thought about that Jan, and I agree wholeheartedly, but where would I find a belly heater that small ? 😯

Just brainstorming here, but it should be possible to machine an aluminum block that fits the bottom of the boiler, and insert a tight fit ceramic rod heater into that?


Don´t know if this makes any sense?

wouldn't it need to make contact to work...without burning itself out ?

That would be perfect, and i am as mentioned before just brainstorming here, so i might well be a dud altogether...
But i think that aluminum might have a thermal conductivity high enough, to be able to transfer the heat to the boiler.
(Copper would be even better, but who has a solid block of that laying around?)
