Hi, For the sake of aesthetics, practicality and safety, a boiler with the look of a VFT might be worth considering. Something like an Ofeldt boiler would fit...
The old rule of thumb is 10 sq ft of heating surface per boiler horsepower. Since we hobby types are probably using hopelessly romantic, inefficient Victorian...

I am looking at several trawler hulls with engines ROB. It is our intention to refit these engines for steam w/ new, redesigned cams. The engines will be...
Hi All, I'm either the newest "steamboats" member or the oldest. I changed my profile from 78 to 79 years so I could get used to being old before my birthday...
If anyone in the lake minnetonka area is wondering why the Streetcar Steamboat Minnehaha has not started the season yet it is because the Hull is being put...
Yes, you are correct. A uniflow engine (unfortunately, you link to the other sight is dead... group no longer exists). While a turbocharger for dilevering...

Hi Doug, I don't know what the Semple actually uses, but aluminium can corrode just as easily as iron depending on the conditions. However I would be surprised...
Hi Doug, I know of at least two fellow steamboaters that give the cylinders a good dose of WD40 thru the draincocks to avoid corrosion of the iron cylinder...

Hi John, True, it is a heat engine, but the way the power is extracted from the heat is by allowing the heat to raise the pressure. So with a given piston...

Hello there, being not expert at all, must use some school knowledge, four decades old. Both OCE and ICE are heat and pressure engines in the same time.......
Zoran, I think we all agree. The initial postulation was to use a turbocharger on the exhaust steam to increase the pressure on the inlet steam. It as if you...

Some of the earlier posters seem to be misunderstanding the difference between the role of the turbine/compressor in a turbocharged engine and the suggested...
I'm going to reply to both of you here... since one reply is easier to follow than two. First rvennerbeck: First, you say that compressing steam would cool...
Well, the turbocharger does extract power from the exhaust gases. If it was not doing this, there would be less drop in pressure between the cylinder and the...
Ok , I should have never gotten involved. First, when your steam gets cold , you have nothing. Steam is not a gas , its water vapor, your rules do not apply....
