@user2C474 жыл бұрын
@Matthew Barrick Yet more than 99% of locomotives are either diesel powered or connected to the power grid. Steam locomotives are only so interesting because there's so few of them. Steam power is also not restricted to trains, and includes anything powered by steam, including boats, trains, and lineshafts. I will not continue wasting my time on this pointless argument over something insignificant.

User 2C47 You corrected OP saying steam POWER, implying that you disagree with the statement that steam LOCOMOTIVE enthusiasts can find common ground with boating enthusiasts. Don’t act like this argument is pointless and go off listing random facts that we already agree with. Either your grammar or original intentions of your first comment were wrong.

I don't know why steam boats aren't more popular. A steam engine is the ultimate multifuel engine - it can run on anything that burns. Coal, oil, gas, wood, alcohol, used cooking oil, general combustible garbage, and so on. If you can light a fire, you can run a steam engine.

The owner, the builder, the engine, and the boat, are a perfect match. The shape of the wave on that hull shows a perfect wave motion for that length of the hull.

I think steam is becoming a viable power plant again, especially as you can use many different sources of fuel to heat the boiler. My father was always building small working steam engines. I kick my ass now for not paying more attention. It would be great, if say, community colleges started offering courses on steam. Great job.

I've been in the steam business since 1981. As stated, still used for a majority of electrical production as well as large district heating locations. I don't understand the comment about steam being half as efficient as diesel. Steam is merely the energy transfer mechanism, not a fuel. Compare fuel costs and energy transfer costs. But this is simply a very cool demonstration of steam power in a very sweet wood boat.

Imagine, if you will, a Town that lives on the water. Say a Venice like city, but on freshwater like the Great Lakes. This town has very little to no roads, and so the waterways and canals are the roads of the town. The People of said town, for both private, and public transportation, utilizes these steamboats and other watercraft to get around. This town also serves as a port for larger ships, such as lake freighters and bulk carriers. There are also mail boats that travel around delivering the mail.
