Wait a minute... I'm a man! I'm a man! I AM A MAN! oh yeah! I'm a man, yes I am! Look at this! Look
at lamps! There's no testosterone in these things! They're powered by electricity! That's no good! I
want noise! l want power! There's not even a pull cord! Lamps your world is gonna change!
I've acquired myself this old heat lamp, which is brilliant because it kind of
looks like a death trap anyway! So we'll take the heat bit out of it, stick a bulb in it,
and this is our surrogate lamp! To power it of course, we've got the old chainsaw.
So we're going to whip the engine out of that, sit it underneath here, like so.
And then off the little spindle, or whatever you want to call it, the crank, we'll have a little
belt drive or a chain or something, which can go onto like a little alternater, dynamo thing,
motor generator, create the electricity and come up and feed the baulb. We'll have a
little throttle on here somewhere and it'll be like, brum-brum-brum-brrrringggg!
land it'll be super bright hopefully! There we are!
Awesome! Right get the engine out of this, which I think is
about 49cc, but I don't know, cuz I sprayed it... can't see anything on it now!
This is where we find out the plastic case is integral
to the working of the machine. Wow gone need that. Haven't thought about this Colin
have you! Gone belting away with "I'll make a two-stroke lamp I will" oh well!
I dreamt about a chainsaw!
Right that's kind of pulled it to bits a bit. There's more plastic
left on this thing than I would have liked.
I want it kind of like a bare aluminium engine,
but like the fuel tank and bits around the carbaretta are all still there and stuff.
In fact, no, I'm not happy, I'm gonna take more of it off.
I don't know why I walked in that direction, because I actually do everything just here.
That's better, eh! Try again, we get rid of more stuff. Now I've
got rid of the plastic petrol tank so I'm gonna have to make my own,
but before we go any further, this is gonna be like a bedside table lamp.
So I've made myself a little wooden base. Keep it tidy! If you put that down there,
now I need to mount this somewhere on here like that. oh! Don't forget,
look at this look, 3d printing, this is what it's useful for. Made a little,
like, shroud to hold a little air filter, so I could do a way with the big old air filter.
yeah! so we just need to fix it on it. Get some mounts somewhere. So mainly off there.
I think where the chainsaw bar used to go and then we'll have to cobble on somewhere around here
near the pull cord. Right, next job Colin, next job!
We're using the CNC, I'm cheating a little bit!
Right can I weld this up, with all the rubber bits in, without it melting? because I figured it's
worth a try! It is Colin! Where's your welding rod, let's not worried about it for this bit.
Got the chainsaw engine mounted and it still works! Excellent! Now we need a
little er, we need electricity! We've got this little motor generator unit.
So 3000 rpm this should generate 12 volts. I think we'll mount that up there somewhere.
So we'll have a little plate there's a couple of fixings here we can use,
and then also I want to put this little a petrol priming thing on the end of it as well, so that
tidies that up! Will put a bit of adjustment in it, so when we get ourselves a belt or something
that we can attach onto here, we can, we can tension it up. oooh! don't you just want one!
This er, this stands for a centrifugal force, not Colin Furze.
For anyone that wondered that. oh lovely, oh yeah! Are you
gonna fit? Yes you are!
Right then we've got our output shaft, we've got two output shafts one from the engine,
one from the Jenny. Now luckily enough on the chainsaw one we've got a centrifugal clutch,
so we can if we can somehow connect onto the back of that, then at tick over we won't be
generating any electricity and there will be no light, so you will have to rev it to get
light! oh yeah! Been to the belt and pulley shop, got some little er, little wheels,
and I got plenty of different sizes of belts. even though we've got adjustment but you know it's best
have a bit of a bit of a selection. Drill them out, put them on, fix them on... therrrrre.
Right, that's that sorted, belts all connected, just need somewhere to put the lamp on!
There we go... steampunk as, hey! Now then there's a little addition of a motor speed controller,
because I'm using that as like a dimmer switch, which stops the voltage peaking
and blowing the bulb. So all we need to do now is give it a bit of a polish, bit of a clean up,
paint the wood and then when I've done that, it'll look like this... da-dah!
yes this is the steampunky- est thing I have ever made! I mean the turkey spinner
was steampunk, and so was the thermite launcher, but this, I really like this!
Now to show off the practical application of this wonderful creation, I've made
a nice little short video. That'll be linked at the end of this video,
and there we are... The two-stroke lamp for the MAN!
