Preface:
With this Steam Box or the E–Box 50 in combination with a steam engine
model and the booklet one can experience practically how the steam engine
and the transformation into electricity functions. Wilesco has joined for you
all the needed components in the Steam Box D 100E and the E-Box 50.
You are the owner of the Steam Box D 100E and now you build step by
step your own steam engine as a model. Through joining the different parts
one gets aware of the developed concept and the principle of the steam
engine, which has been invented by Denis Papin, James Watt and others.
This model does not only help to understand how a steam engine works, it
also creates a lot of joy to develop it even further.
With the Steam Box and the E-Box 50 and its components you can
practically experience and understand the transforming processes,
beginning with the thermo energy, through the mechanical energy and
finally turned into electrical energy. The experiments are structured and
build up one on the other. They are easy and in short time to realize.
In the booklet you also find information about the modern standard of the
steam engine and examples and possibilities of developments in the present
time.
I also would like to bring you this beautiful hobby of steam engine model
construction a little closer and wish you a lot of fun building this and other
steam engine models and the experiences you gain with it.
Yours
Ulrich Stempel

1. Basics about the steam engine
Steam engines are heat engines and they work in contrary to the combustion
motors without inner combustion. Mechanical energy is provided through
the pressure of the steam. One can use different sources of heat to make the
engine work; so all liquid, solid and gaseous fuels. Steam engines are also
capable to transform solar energy and growing fuels for our needs. They do
this in a low emission and climate neutral way.
1.1 The steam engine and its development
Constructions and their precursors, which work with steam pressure, have
been already used in the Greece antique. It is described that the doors of the
temple after lightening the holy fire would open in a magic way due to a
construction which worked with steam.
Leading steps in the development of the steam engine principles happened
during the time of the industrial revolution, f. ex. through Denis Papin. 1690
he invented the pressure cooker, where he developed a first prototype of a
steam engine with cylinder and piston. In 1698 the British engineer Thomas
Savery constructed an engine, working on steam, which was supposed to
pump the groundwater. In 1712 the engineer Thomas Newcomen developed
the principle even further into an atmospheric steam engine.
Information:
The atmospheric steam engine is a precursor model with the following
function: water steam is pressed into the space of the cylinder below the
piston, which cools down through added cold water and finally condenses.
This causes a negative pressure and because of the higher external
atmospheric pressure now the piston is pressed into the cylinder. Through
the flywheel mass and the opened steam valve the piston is again pressed
into the cylinder. The energetic efficiency of this construction is about
1%.
In 1769 James Watt managed to patent a double functioning steam engine.
In this construction the piston is alternately shifted from one side to the
other through steam. This increased the efficiency enormously. James Watt
described the out put of his engine in horsepower, which had been used as a
measurement for power engines for a long period of time, f. ex. with
automobiles.
10
At that time the steam engine brought a lot of possibilities in the areas of
transport and construction. From the first rotation on the engine brings a
high torque to the axis and is able to work forwards and backwards. Steam
automobiles can start moving under load and do not need clutch and
gearing.
1.2 Knowledge about the steam engine
Right behind the wind power the steam power is one of the ancient methods
of humankind to produce mechanical energy. The name steam engine is
already indicating the energy source; steam. The energy source steam was
and is transformed into other energy forms through different constructions,
f. ex. piston steam engine or steam - turbines.
Basically we need two components regarding to the principle of the steam
energy: the steam boiler and the piston steam engine or the steam –turbine.
This principle has not changed till nowadays. Still changes have happened
within the modern steam engine regarding to the technical designs, modern
materials and a profound knowledge how to increase the efficiency.
In earlier times the efficiency of the piston steam engine was very low.
Especially to generate electricity they were mainly substituted through
steam turbines, which worked more efficiently. Nowadays functioning
nuclear power bases are so to speak modern steam engines, working with
the same principle. Here one uses the problematic nuclear energy to heat up
the water.
1.2.1. How to change water into steam
To transform the liquid state of H2O into water steam, we need to heat it up
till it boils. Once the water is boiling, which normally happens at 100
degrees C and 1013 hPa (the boiling temperature depends on the altitude of
the place, more exact - on the external air pressure) it changes into steam.
The boiling temperature of water (in general with liquids) changes when the
external air pressure raise. Assuming we have 2 bar pressure in the steam
boiler the boiling temperature raises up to 120 degrees C (theoretical value).
The heating up needs a certain quantity of energy which is called heat of
evaporation. There are needed 4,2 joule to heat up 1 gram of water for 1
degree C. On the other hand it needs 2257 joule to evaporate 1 gram of
water. This high energy consumption can be explained through the
enormous expansion of the volume of the water steam in relation to its
liquid state.1 litre of boiling water will transform into 1673 litres of steam
(these values are related to normal air pressure).
