A compact turbogenerator running on clean hydrogen is just the ticket for charging a Tesla. Carried on board, using a catalyst to create steam from the hydrogen.

A far cry from my Wilesco T-125 model steam turbine, but in reality the same, just in miniature. The Wilesco T-125 model turns a small dynamo to convert to 14 volts dc at about 10 amps, at 25psi of steam. It also has a countershaft arrangement with pulleys and belts to power miniature mechanical stationarys. If you could keep water and fire in it, it could charge your dead car battery. At full electrical load, the Wilesco dynamo screams as well. The only real difference is it does it on a desktop, at about 1/10 scale.

Reglung erfolgt per Ventilsteuerung wie es aussieht?

This type of governor changes the length of valve travel which, in turn, changes the length of time nearly full boiler pressure steam is admitted to either side of the piston. If steam is considered fuel, the more steam in the cylinder, the more work the engine can do.

I recently bought a Locomobile/Stanley engine in very good running condition, very similar to this one. Built by Mason Regulator Co of Boston, Mass. Is the car still around?
@lineshaftrestorations7903Ай бұрын
My understanding is that the car has changed hands at least once since these events were recorded.

Are the saw blade teeth set correctly?
@lineshaftrestorations79032 ай бұрын
I believe they are. I think it's too much filing by hand and the length if the teeth is not consistent. It used to cut quite well when first acquired.

The engine exhaust could be directed up the boiler smokestack to increase the draft through the fire.
