This page will be used to describe the OSE Open Source Steam Engine design, design issues, and completed drawings.
Prototype One
This is a single-action uniflow steam engine that uses a bump valve to admit steam and an exhaust vent to emit cooled steam. Some of the features of this design include:
- Simple design with a mix of fabricated and off-the-shelf parts.
- Modular and stackable - cylinders can be ganged together to increase power.
- Easy assembly - minimal welding
- Repairable - comes apart for cleaning, maintenance, and repair.
- Easy fabrication - lathing, milling, cutting, and drilling.
- Self-lubricating - oil sprays.
- Crank shaft can be configured for multiple cylinders.
Sub-assembly Designs:
- Steam Engine Design/Bump Valve
- Steam Engine Design/Cylinder
- Steam Engine Design/Crank Shaft
- Steam Engine Design/Piston
