Chapter 3

This chapter contains the schematic diagram, cost and analysis, time estimate, and
operation and testing procedure of making prototype.

Schematic Diagram
This section of the chapter is the representation of the prototype it focuses on the graphic
details of the product.

Figure 1. Hydraulic Steam Engine Model

A hydraulic steam engine uses heat energy generated from burner to produce
electrical energy. This cycle of steam produced in the boiler, and then taken to the
oscillating steam engine. From the oscillating steam engine, the crankshaft will start to spin
and also the flywheel that is connected to DC motor. The DC motor will create mechanical
energy that converts into electrical energy and produce electricity in outlet.

Operation and Testing Procedure
The researchers did a lot of research on how the steam engine will work together with
the DC Motor. The researchers come up to the type of steam engine that is moving or
swinging back and forth at a constant speed, which is the Oscillating Steam Engine. First,
the researchers assembled the engine by:
 Knowing the specific design of the engine.
 Starting to gather the materials that needed on making the engine.
 Assembling the engine.

Second, after making the Oscillating Steam Engine the researchers generate the DC Motor.
The researchers connect the engine to DC Motor by connecting the flywheel of the
Oscillating Steam Engine to the shaft part of the DC Motor.

Third, when the shaft and flywheel is already connected the researchers did the circuit
from DC Motor and connecting an extension to supply energy to the power and bulb socket.
