Strangely, i have never trusted those bastids. There is an aversion for exploding ship board boilers ( land based ones as well ), add... rarely does one fall overboard and survive a rotating giant fricken paddle wheel.
Not much rudder prop wash for maneuvers that. Steering is like a drunk wife snoring like a dinosaur.

I may or may not have helmed much like this, to and fro between bars with everyone having a good time, one just has to be prepared for parking spot alignment ( Iree sense eh ) when the hood and front fender people jump off stop ... no reported casualties as of so far.

Steam is neutral. What evolves from the heating process depends on whether you use metric or Imperial water in the boiler.

Go ahead on.......... make fun of steam power. I used to work on steam turbine powered pumps that were in use to utilize the excess steam generated by the processes of a modern chemical plant. They are powerful and reliable.

Me too. And you can use a steam pump with an auto start controller to keep your primary flows going when the electricity shuts off. Or...If you have harmonics in your piping from a set flow rate, you can use a steam pump to fine tune the system load and reduce vibrations.

They ran new high power lines in to the solar farm. The power generated goes directly into the Florida Power and Light power stations and feeds to where ever needed. When the output drops below a certain level the outgoing power shuts down. There is large control station inside the farm. Panels rotate on an axis to stay aligned with the most direct sunlight.
Large scale battery storage is in the plans to be added later.

A very convincing replica except for one thing. They used a radial engine instead of a notary. Actually not sure if that engine is even functional, being only a disguise for modern engine behind it?

If its the same aircraft the engine is really three dummy cylinders fashioned from old fire extinguishers and a hidden Lycoming engine actually provides the power.

I don't think it is the same engine either. The pictures with the fake engine are showing one push rod per cylinder and some of the other pictures show 2 push rods per cylinder.
Don't think anything you can see is a Lycombing. The Lycombing engines I have owned were horizontally opposed 4 or 6. They were air cooled and might run hot behind a cowling.

Yep I did get the wrong one. My bad. Nevertheless, the one in the article did have a Lycoming hidden behind the fake cylinders, according to the author.

They are all very nice reproductions and the ones that are able to fly are amazing. There are also some RC models that look really nice too. Pictures of them on the web. They would fit in my budget a lot better these days.

My experience also with Lycoming engines. I worked for a time in an overhaul shop disassembling Lycoming and Continental airplane engines and they were all horizontally opposed 4 or 6 cylinders but they had sheet metal (aluminum) baffles to direct the air over the fins for cooling. The most remarkable engine I saw was from a Gypsy Moth with the original, hand polished Tulip valves.

Lycombings I had were mounted on air boats and ran totally open without any cowlings or fins. The boat fan pulled air across the engines. Long time ago when they were carbed. Last one had a Holly 2 barrel on it with mostly GM electrics. Every one I ever worked on was horizontal opposed. Almost all the airboats in this area used Lycombing or Continental back then. A few had V8 or V6 engines, but then you had to run a cooling system.

He162 Volksjager. Despite a slight advantage in top speed and and rate of climb vs Mustang, never achieved much; due to low production numbers and shortage of skilled pilots.
Its chief advantages were supposed to be its use of wood instead of aluminum and jet power (uses lower grade fuels instead of high octane Avgas).
Supposedly "easy" to fly. That is a vague term, as in easy in this sense mean a novice has less chance of crashing in basic flight training. That is a long way from the skills required to survive and succeed in aerial combat against hordes of well equipped and well trained Allied fighter squadrons.
Even if thousands were built, these kids would have been slaughtered in the skies of 1945 ETO.

What was the hull displacement and not for nothing, the mast is oddly placed.
Fuel injected (gas) 12 cylinders, air cooled. Two plugs per cylinder with 4 magnetos. 3 gallons per mile. I don't remember the hull displacement. The mast was placed there for a real bang up of a reason.

Meteor from Rolls Royce? Super charged was the Merlin or vice versa.
Articulating mast is ahead of it's time, however badly installed.

Pshhh. You gotta get you a RR Vulture engine.
Advantage: 24 cylinders, 2600 cu in.
Disadvantage: Mileage irrelevant. 50/50 it will self-immolate on the first tank of fuel...
