Mamod twin cylinder SE3 steam to electricity 2
So I had a mount for the moter made which meant i could more easily take a few photos and videos of it producing electricity.
If people are interested i will find my multi-meter and measure how much juice im making.
Mamod twin cylinder SE3 steam to electricity
At Cubs we are doing the scientist badge as an extra show and tell I brought along my dads Mamod S.E.3 Steam Engine and hooked a 9v motor to the buffing wheel via an elastic band. It managed to make the led light up and impress the cubs. Before I use it again i need to make a mount for the motor so the band dose not fly off every time you try and take a photo/video.
Brickett speedtest monitor

Message my twitter account for graphs until i get them on the website.
