To be honest with you, this helps me understand just how amazing gasoline internal-combustion engines really are. Here in the video, we see how much metal it takes, just to make 10hp of mechanical power with a steam engine. And I'm sure it's a good boiler too, by the the way. We just need a lot of surface area, and therefore a lot of metal, to conduct all that heat from one fluid to another.
Efficiency of this old technology is only about 5 to 10 percent.on Small scale like 1 to 60 kw Best way to convert biomass and wood into electric power is internel combustion engine run on gasifier.I have a lot of biomass and going to make one like these but cancelled because piston steam engine is very rubish and stupid idea . Now I'm studying gasifier technology to make my 7 hp power plant
It is fantastic engine. I am interested this size of power plant (10Hp). Kindly let me know the price of all items in this video and freight cost to HCMC - Vietnam
There appears to be a lot of rough welding and machining. Who manufactures your steam engines? Did these engines originally serve another purpose? Do you have literature that I can download? Thank you.
I m from Pakistan wants to buy 20HP to 25HP double piston also wants to know what type of machine is better for me to keep it easy to maintain or overhaul when it would be needed n also (Price in rupees) of machine full setup with boiler
Yes. But, would also need further input than that.... a 10kw steam power plant could run a 7kw steam generator(like for a spa/sauna)... I think the cool thing is when you consider it can create enough power to run its own control system that continues to monitor and feed fuels and even include battery storage and management systems. Automatic starting and priming while power systems run on battery backup. Oh, the possibilities... Maybe include all in a basement and have it ready and serving as a boiler system in the winter with relatively quick switching of power sources. But I digress.
hello alok, has your engine working? would you reccomend someone buying from this company? can you get replacement parts? did they give you a comprehensive list of all avail engines and power plants?
