Hi I've been running at a steady 17.5 amp load for four hours. The water temp is just under the bioiling point. I get a whisp of steam occasionaly. The oil(crankcase door) is at 170 with my infared thermo. The outside air temp is around 95.
I may have to insulate the pipes for winter operation.
The coil under the crank seems to be doing what I want, so far.

The bottom tube down from the freon tank is 1 1/2". The pump pulls from the bottom tube. The discharge from the pump goes to this tube assembly.

This tube assy is installed under the engine to transfer heat to the sump. The oil temps are up 4-5deg after 1.5-2 hrs run. I may have to make some mods to heat the oil further. I won't know untill I have an 8-10 hr run.
The discharge from the tubing array goes to the manifold on the engine. The hoses from the heads go to the sides of the freon tank. the water level in the tank is near the top. the upper 1 1/2" tube will go to a radiater to condense the steam. If all this works the way I want I will add a sight glass to a heavier tank for permanent use. These disposable tanks are vrey thin.
I tried a straight tube without the tank and the result was steam and water being pushed out the top. I tried it with out the pump and there was a lot of steam and not too much water circulation. This lack of circulation was a concern to me.
The pump is a weak point for me. If the pump stops?
This is a work in progress.

Hi I've been thinking about putting an extra fly wheel on a st head.
If an extra long shaft were made for a st head the opposite side could carry some sort of fly wheel.
York has a 100 lb barbell weight that looks symetrical and could be machined for a tapered collar easily.

Hi Group I've been thinking about a lapping plate, where to get one?

I just drove by a place that is making counter tops out of various colored granite from around the world. I stopped and asked  for a scrap piece. Got one 2' square for nothin!
I was so pleased I gave the yard guy a $20

From what I have seen in many houses the top is pretty true by the reflections in the surface.
I think If I was going to use it as a true surface I would want to set the plate in grout for extra support as it is only about 1" thick

Hi Group

I just discovered to acess Coppermine I have to log out? I don't know why but this is the way it works for me.

Also I found out why I can't seem to post a picture on CM. I have been trying to post files that are to large. 640 is the size. I can't seem to generate that size, Oh Well.

Hi
I need some advise on the governor setup and adjustments.

I received the belt I needed to run the gen head. When I put a load on the engine, it saged & almost quit. I increased the spring tension to hold the load and voltage. When I dropped the load the engine would speed up, a lot! It would keep on speeding up as much as I would let it. A runaway condition.
Any comments and information is apreciated.
Thanks in advance
Dennis

Hi group
I built a pulse damper for the lister today. The large section is 1 1/8" copper, lower I used a 1 1/8 x 3/4 coulper, then a 3/4 x 1/2 coupler on an elbow. a 1/8" coupler was brased into the elbow. Then to a Tee where the gage is mounted.

The gage pointer is rock steady and quite low. 5psi

I will disassemble the pump again tomorrow and make sure it is clean.
