The Steam-Powered Vehicle Works With A Gas Cylinder That Acts As A Boiler, Inside A Barbecue Drum That Serves As A Furnace. Joel Has Even Appeared Making Barbecue Inside His Steam Engine.

The Boiler Is Fed With Water From The Top, Either With A Plastic Bottle Or Something Similar. The Steam Generated In This Boiler Passes Through A Tube System To Gas Shock Absorber Pistons, Which Have Been Transformed Into Steam Pistons Like Those Of An Old Locomotive.

Even With The Video Going Viral Even Outside Brazil, The Inventor From Minas Gerais Is Not Satisfied With The Result Achieved And Is Already Developing A New Version Of The Steam Vehicle, Which Will Now Use Combustion Engine Cylinder Heads. Although He Has Already Demonstrated The New Steam Engine, He Has Not Yet Shown It In Action, But He Believes It Will Be Much More Powerful.

The Inventor Is From A Town In The Interior Of Minas Gerais, Is 39 Years Old, Has Only Completed The Sixth Grade Of Elementary School, And Started His Career As A Carpenter Before Moving On To Motorcycle Mechanic. The Youtuber Claims He Learns What He Knows And Some More Complex Concepts Through Friends, Websites, And Even Through Youtube Itself.

In Addition To The Steam-Powered Tricycle, The Youtuber Developed A Bicycle With A Gate Motor. The Invention Involves Installing A Motor On The Rear Of A Regular Bicycle. The Traction Generated By The Motor Is Transmitted To The Rear Axle By Means Of A Belt.

The Inventor States That This Project Should Not Be Attempted At Home By Those Who Do Not Have Technical Knowledge, Considering That The Motor Provided Much More Torque To The Motorcycle Than Expected, Which Can Be Quite Dangerous.

Additionally, The Inventor Had Previously Presented A Stirling Steam Engine, An 18th Century Steam Pump, And A Steam Engine From Hero Of Alexandria.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The United States is building an aircraft carrier that will never touch water: a ship that remains stationary in orbit, loaded with spacecraft, and opens its hull to release them in a matter of hours, ready to replace a downed satellite before the enemy notices.

Discover which are the highest-paying jobs in Brazil, with salaries above R$ 20,000, in fields such as technology, medicine, finance, and industry.

Coconut husks become natural logs to protect eroding coasts in the USA, with biodegradable fibers used in living shorelines to hold plants, reduce wave force, and restore areas destroyed by storms like Sandy in New Jersey.

Tiny blue octopus discovered in the depths near the Galápagos Islands: the small animal, the size of a golf ball, was found at almost 1,800 meters deep and surprised scientists, who reveal they have never seen a creature like this in the depths of the tropical Pacific.
