Take care Tony.

I have one of these or one  looks just like it. Have spring belt and connectors I ordered from McMaster Carr. I have a small stepper motor that I’m going to convert to generator. If it ever gets here.I’ll probably have to make a pulley or new flywheel. To drive it. Maybe even a gear box depending on how much power it takes to drive it. My boiler is takinfore. Ever to build because of weather and holidays. I have the end cap nd bulkhead material  the boiler tube itself is still on the way. I just ordered anode rod so another piece to add to the box of parts. I’ll order new tap and die for the port threads tomorrow.I wanted all NPT threads but the engine has ME threads so I’ll have some of those now too. I’ve got a fttting distribution manifold laid out. Since I’m going with electric heat I have one heater with another use tomorrow. Kay use oth but I have to check my home circuits to make sure they can handle them. I can use two separate circuits I suppose. That means. A cord on ghe fflloor that I really don’t wa.lsohave a temporary mounting board but have another planned. It will take wood working skills for that but I can do that. This is like building a giant scale. Model rc airplane. There are so many loose ends to connect.

Very nice. The 5 belt drive looks very scale.

When used like this the spring belts look like a rope drive.  Neat!

Love the way those 5 springbelts look on there, certainly an idea to keep in mind :) 

Amazing job you did on this setup Tony, well done!!!

Hi,

I have been going through some old files of photographs and videos and have edited together this.

Take care.
