A Youtuber From Minas Gerais Is Gaining Fame By Developing A Steam-Powered Tricycle. The Video About The Invention On The Platform Has Already Surpassed 18 Million Views.
According To Fábio Marton, From The Olhar Digital Portal, Youtuber And Inventor Joel, Who Owns The Channel Professor Pardal Brasil, Is Becoming Famous Both In Brazil And Abroad As The “Low-Tech Genius”. The Inventor From Minas Gerais Developed An Electric Tricycle With A Steam Engine That Uses Firewood As Fuel. It Is Worth Noting That The Youtuber Had Already Developed A Bicycle With A Gate Motor.
Learn How The Steam Tricycle From The Inventor Of Minas Gerais Works
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.

With a range of 1,400 km, Volkswagen’s ‘Big One’ appears with up to 272 hp, a 1.5 turbo hybrid engine, and plug-in technology to take on the BYD Song and Haval H6 in the electrified SUV market.

The electric compact has leveled up: BYD Dolphin Mini appears in Beijing with possible LiDAR, a stronger motor, and a promise of up to 500 km of range to pressure entry-level rivals in the electric market.

The new European Renault Clio travels 1,450 km without stopping to refuel thanks to the Eco-G 120 engine, which combines two tanks, one for gasoline and the other for LPG.
According To Joel, It’s All Scraps, And These Same Pistons Were Used To Develop A Manual Water Pump, Using A Gas Cylinder As A Pressure Regulator. For Safety Reasons, The Steam-Powered Tricycle Has A Manometer, Which However Is Not Yet Visible To The Driver. Joel Is The First To Say That It’s A Complete Hack, But It Works.
Youtuber Is Already Planning A More Modern Version Of His Steam Tricycle
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.
Other Projects From ‘Professor Pardal’
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.
