Hey Guys,
Glad I found this site. My name is Dail, live WV, facinated
by anything steam.I've watched all the steam vids, n must say
that I think you're on to something with the flash monotube
boiler.That has been the trouble with steam,, the boiler. Tank
boilers , even small ones are not to be trifelled with.This in
my opinion is a much safer approach. I've spent my working life
around boilers in the lumber / plywood industry, and ran a
boiler for GGeorgia Pacific that dried about a million ft of
lumber a week.
Now the questions. What size are the engines(bore n stroke)
in the vids? They appear to be PM Research engines , but not
sure. How does the water control work? I see the spark plug,, so
must short the circut when gets under water. Not very good with
electronics here.Eould it be practical / safe to up the preasure
a bit ,,say to near 100lb? that would increase power quite a bit
, as well as efficency. Pretty sure the tubing would stan it ok.
Have you considered adding a bit of larger tune at the top of
coil , inside casing to act as a steam dryer??? would sure make
engines happier
I would love to work with you on this some, as a tool for
emergency power , as well as off grid use.
