Tug PILAT Steam tug / Dampfschlepper RC
The reduction of the gears between the paddle wheels and the steam engines was inappropriate and prevented their operation, they are replaced for a convincing result.
If the water level is correctly positioned, moderate tightening of the level tube retaining nuts guarantees any water or vapor leakage. This assembly is validated at 3 bar, pressure at which the safety valve is also triggered.
To prevent the level tube of a boiler from breaking, it must be able to slide freely in correctly aligned supports and only the slightly tight joints ensure its maintenance and prevent any steam leakage. I use this assembly up to 8 bar.
Here is a video that will interest the "beginners vaporists".
LE SAN JULIAN II
With its JMC machine of 3 cm3 only, the steam of the Amazon San Julian and his 15 kilos of about one hour of navigation and a regulated service pressure of 3 bars.
With its JMC machine of only 3 cm3, the steam of the Amazon San Julian 2 and its 15 kilos sail about more than an hour and a half at a regulated operating pressure of 3 bars.

TUG ULYSSE. FIRST NAVIGATION
With its coupled pump, the JMC 8.5 cm3 twin-cylinder gives the boat a range of over one hour and 15 minutes, and a full de-oiler will stop the navigation.
As a bonus, I mounted my FPV system to spice up navigation. The JMC whistle can sing loudly.
TUG ABEILLE 13. TEST
Length: 1,16 m, width, 0,30 m, draft: 0,10 m, weight 17 kilos; 8.5 cm3 machine and whistle JMC .
No problem of operation, the hour of autonomy is reached and limited by the size of the oil separator important however. The 28mm vertical burner is a bit weak and allows the pressure to stabilize at 15 PSI. The steam safety valve is set to 45 PSI.
TUG ULYSSE. FIRST NAVIGATION
Navigation of the boat in its final configuration, everything is fine and the power is at the rendezvous.
TUG ULYSSE. TEST
The problems I have seen confirm my desire to always test my boat first in the bathtub. Indeed, without ballast, the boat capsized (I added 4 kilos of lead to put it in its water line) and I found a significant leak at the bypass valve level. Nothing nasty, but impossible to correct at the edge of a body of water. Besides that, the observed autonomy exceeds the hour, with use of the whistle!
TUG TYPE TID FIRST NAVIGATION.
With its Typhoon Motors TM2 machine, its 100 x 250 mm boiler and its 70 mm quadripal propeller from Protean Design, the replica of port tug of the second war has an autonomy of over 1.5 hours at a pressure more or less equal to 2 bars.
TUG TYPE TID TEST No problem during the test of autonomy of this British tug type TID used during the Second World War. The Typhoon Motors TM2 machine (4.5 cm3 with cylindrical valves) is a model of efficiency and economy. The observed autonomy is close to the hour with a moderate use of the whistle.
The double diaphragm regulatoris from Microcosm and the whistle from JMC.
With her machine Typhoon, this Christiaan Brunings, TM2, her boiler JPB 100 x 200 mm, a JMC tonic whistle and a basic 70 mm four-bladed propeller , the 10 kilos ship has an autonomy of 45 minutes within 2 working pressure bar.
The beautiful cool weather allows me to test the autonomy of the model trawler boat and the filling time of the electric pump. With it, the autonomy of the boat is that of the gas, about 1 hour 15.
This first navigation allowed me to check that all is well on the boat, except a whistle a little weak, that the power is at the rendezvous and that the autonomy exceeds the hour thanks to the water pump.
Capped with its superstructure, the steam tug easily draws a dinghy.
What's more relaxing than a quiet model boat navigation by a magnificent Sunday ... November ... Hardly troubled by the sound of the whistle ... Leidenschaft dampfboot...
What a pleasure for me, the project is valid, the Anton Cristal 3.1 cm3 steam plant works perfectly, allows more than 35 minutes of navigation, and the rudder authorizes majestic corners. Everything will be perfect when the whistle sing. As a bonus, a navigation in concert with Christian's HJEJLEN (side wheels). Dampfbarkasse

This first navigation allows Raphaël to check the quality of the Stuart D10 engine made by his friend Max, and to see how to improve the steamer. Unfortunately, two successive incidents have interrupted the tries. The autonomy is 1h30.
