Unlike piston-operated steam engines, there is no chugging noise with a turbine. It just whizzes away with a little push. The tiny locomotive is an impressive piece of amateur engineering.

Problem: Steam turbines generate most of the world’s electricity, and approximately 42% in the US [1]. Keeping them in operation is vital. Condensation in the low-pressure stage can result in ...

Steam turbines advance in technology to keep pace with gas turbines By Robert Swanekamp, PE, Contributing Editor Steam turbines installed at early combined-cycle (CC) plants were relatively simple ...

Pratt also says the concept solves several potential problems associated with converting gas turbines to run on hydrogen. These include the challenges of integrating the cryogenic liquid at -253C ...

Turbines, H. M. S. AmethystRecent official tests of the Amethyst, of the British naval establishment, have given remarkable results as establishing the economy and value of the steam turbine for ...

ABS to Class Innovative Moss-type LNG Carriers To be built in Ulsan, Korea, the ships will feature energy efficient reheated steam turbine engines. ABS, a provider of classification and technical ...

These force steam into the Curtis turbine engine which will produce 300bhp, enough to push the car to 200mph (in theory).

Instead, this is a steam turbine, nothing like the 1920s and 30s experiments with conventional locomotives, nor even the Union Pacific’s oil-fired condensing turbo-electrics.
