This book was written in
1932 !! What is there about solar in 1932? Those Pages are Below. What can you learn from a book written in 1932? If you read the book then you'd of read about the " Tom Thumb" steam locomotive. The first one to be built in the United States. Big deal right? Who cares? 1830, ancient history, what can be learned. You would of learned that the steam locomotive weighted 10,800 lbs with coal and water and passenger car. You would of learned that it pulled 40 people from Baltimore to Elliots Mill. < Where's that? [ yawn] That it had a steam pressure of 90lbs ( less than an air line in a shop ) The boilers tubes were make from old musket barrels. ( gun barrels) The single cylinder was the size of a softball and just over 12 inches long. The engine went at the blistering shatter speed of 18 MPH !! < yippie> ...and that the steam engine did this on the whopping power of 1.5 horse power Wait..??! 10,800 lbs, 18mph on 1.5 Horse power ??!! That's neat...but what does it really mean? It means that steel wheels on steel rails is a VERY efficient form of transportation. If the engine was on rubber wheels ( like your car) it would of hardly even started to roll. What KNOWLEDGE can you get from this INFORMATION. Well... lets say your city wants to put a public transportation system downtown. Or you want to invent one...who knows. What do you think would be more effecient and use less energy? A light rail system where passenger cars run on steel rails in the pavement with normal traffic, or a natural gas powered bus on rubber wheels? FYI: A 1.5 horse modern electric motor is smaller than a football. Get one for $50 on an electric chainsaw at Home Depot. p.s. If you want to know how " horse power"
get invented and why? James Watt did it and you can read about it
in the book. What is more powerful? 1 real horse, or 1 horse
power? Its in the book. |
This water wheel is over 2000 years old. It was described in 85BC, who knows how old it actually is. It is made from bamboo and fabric and it not only spins but it LIFTS WATER up. Thus water can be moved from a flowing stream or river and moved above the banks and into the fields to be watered. Make your own with 1x2's at Home Depot and some canvas, or wood. With a power drill it should be easy to screw one together. Make one that is 3 feet tall, or 30 feet tall !! It is a simple idea, what took a day to make back then can be made in minutes today. What could only be 8 feet tall back then, can be 80 feet today with tubular metal or pipes for construction. If you can only see the forest, then you just read some interesting history. If you can see the trees through the forest then you just got some great ideas for items you can make to move water and make power and to make money and to impress your friends.... or what ever. |
The Steam TURBINE Hero of Alexandria made this 2150+ years ago. 150 years BEFORE the birth of Christ. The one in the photo is in the Science Museum in London England. The kettle is full of water. There is a fire under the kettle that turns the water into steam. The steam goes up the two pipes and into a metal sphere that rotates around the pipe. the steam exists the two bent pipe jets and spins very fast. If you have ever seen one of these in person, it is IMPRESSIVE !! Still, a very valid concept that can be utilized today in different forms. Power your cabin in the woods. Make it a cylinder rather than a sphere. Attach "rock wool' insulation around everything to keep the heat in and attach an alternator to the cylinder and crank up some power. One moving part in the steam engine. It is endless what can be done. |
Rotary Steam Engine -
1797. A Steam "Wankel" Engine. A steam version of the same gasoline engine that makes a Mazda RX-7 go so fast ! This engine did not work very good in 1797. Why?? That's easy. first of all, the did not have good bearings. The things that make things rotate easily. At best they would have a lead or a Babbitt bearing, or a wood on wood bearing with lard as a 'grease' lubricant. The tolerances between the blades and the housing would not of been very tight and there would of been a lot of blow by. Steam getting around the blades. The interface between the side of the wheel and the case would not of been very good. Anyone in a high school machine shop, let alone a trade college machine shop, could make one of these with a vertical mill and a lathe that would fix all of these problems. It can be cast from aluminum with Kingsford charcoal and a shop back on blow in your back yard, a few old aluminum car rims and then the rough castings would be finished on the machinery. We'll put a good book out on backyard casting in the future. Get it to work and put it on ebay and sell them. Oh.. steam comes in pipe E ( on upper right ) and pushing on the blade H, moving it clockwise and then the steam escapes out pipe F ( on upper left ) and the door at the top makes the pressure differential. |
James Watts' 1781
Energy Business Model |
James Watt ( the man where we get the term
WATT which is a measurement of power. ) made huge improvements to the
steam engine. His was more efficient then the Newcoman engine and
thus it saved mine owners a great deal of coal. The engines were
used to pump water out of the mines, which was a constant problem.
The mine owners were skeptical of his new engine so he made a deal with
them. He would install the engine for nothing, and the mine owners
would pay him 1/3 of the money they SAVED on coal using his new engine
over the previous one. This made positive cash flow for Watt
pretty quickly. How does this apply to you? If you
have a large source of waste vegetable oil and you want to run a diesel
generator with it, and you have a local business that uses a lot of
power ( like an ice plant ) or any other assortment of businesses.
You can do the same thing, give him a no risk system, where you get paid
on a percentage of the money he saves. What does the business have
to loose and you have everything to gain.
