Thank you for a very clear explanation of the way in which a Sentinel steam engine works. I know about steam locomotive working, but this is significantly different. I'm old enough (70) to remember steam lorries on the road - both in Littlehampton (Sussex) and in Cardiff. One I especially remember from Cardiff had something to do with road servicing machinery - the company (or was it the local authority? Cardiff Corporation?) had a steam powered road roller and a steam lorry; and I remember seeing them several times on the road between Cardiff city centre and St Mellons (old A48). You could smell them long before you could see them. Lovely!

Them still building these steam wagons in the 30s might be surprising until you remember that: These were for industrial use not civilian, so the issues of it being hard to run are less important when you're already hiring two guys to run one anyway. Labor was cheap and time could be taken, especially when petrol and diesel trucks weren't that much better or cheaper. Plus the thing doesn't require a very refined fuel source, and can run on most anything that will fit in the firebox and burn. It's likely similar in concept to Turbine locomotives, which could burn stuff like Bunker C residual fuel oils. Those are oils that aren't very useful in anything but steam engines and the like, but turbines can burn it more efficiently and with much higher horsepower to weight. So running a train with an industrial turbine, even though it was a bit of a maintenance hog and guzzled fuel, made sense because the fuel it used was cheaper. So this steam truck is exchanging labor for fuel economy. The moment that ratio becomes unfavorable, though, these trucks become totally obsolete.

Thanks for replying. Thaty ties in with an experience I had driving and firing a small loco at a colliery in Kent. The steam brake would begin strong and fade fast so it was important to make repeated applications to stop the train. The injector worked ok, but water had to be set first, then steam and then the water was backed off once the injector had picked up and was singing nicely. These were live steam injectors which I guess yours are too. It was all a bit basic but you get a strong sense of what's going on and the forces involved, which I liked a lot.

Modern Steam cars and steam-car startup companies have 3 major improvements. Well, it's been 100 years of technological advancements. 1) Modern steam cars use liquid and gas fuel to run. Great this is that it can run any biofuel, like one from seaweed. As well as gasoline, natural gas or hydrogen. 2) They have closed cycle of water - after steam is used in engine, it is rather collected in cooler, and then re-used as water. You don't need to refill water at all. 3) Some steam startups use hybrid cars - you run on electric engines the first 2-5 minutes while engine is heating. When you get your steam - engine both runs the car and re-charging the battery. You get to run your car instantly and you still get insane amount of torque.
