This is why electricity is generated using steam turbines at modern
power plants. In addition to the added efficiency of the steam
turbine, reciprocating steam engines of this size would produce so
much vibration that they would shake the containment buildings
severely enough to damage them.
Nice pics though. Thx for sharing them.

Please log in for more thread options Well, Not your old Ford Pinto engine is it...... Makes race engines a lot
more fun every time I see some gigantic thing like that. Try to turn that
crank on my gear....Um, no..... I get pissed when I have to turn down a
Hemi crank or an nodular iron one I can't chuck by hand. I just ran short
of 90 ton cranes too!
And to think I wanted to be a Millwright!

Rick wants to run this engine (for show purposes) by using a DC motor
and some sort of sprocket chain drive. An interesting challenge.
