Modernizing the Steam Engine
Here is the true and honest story pertaining to the "Eradication of the Steam Engine". To understand this people need to realize six hardcore facts:
1) One Hundred years ago steam engines were made of iron.
2) The boilers first required Wood, then Coal as fuel. The difference being that wood burns at a lower temperature than coal, but the hotter temperature of coal increased the speed and power of the steam engine.
3) Elevation matters - Water boils at a much lower temperature and much faster when the air is thinner. Example: Boiling water for coffee on top of a mountain.
4) Today many types of metals and alloys exist that never existed a hundred years ago or for that matter no one had heard or seen or known of aluminum even seventy years ago.
5) Today we have many different sources of fuel that operate clean like electricity or burn clean like butane, propane or an oxy/ acetylene mix.
6) Imagine if you can understand an aluminum alloy engine with electric coils built into the sides of the boiler or even running parallel through the boiler so when a drop hits it sizzles. Include a clean burning source of back up fuel alternative below the combustion chamber and keep the air within the chamber 50% thinner than it's
surrounding environment making this engine 100% more fuel efficient and 100% environmentally friendly and 100% residual income free. Now your beginning to understand why the single greatest step in the evolution of transportation which was way ahead of it's time, was intentionally suppressed and painted black so it could never shine. All for the sake of residual income which in turn fuels profitable greed. Theoretically Humanity can modernize this relic; creating vehicles laced with solar panels and back up sources making cars, trucks or trains powered by water a reality. "?" float on cloud nine, hell we want to fuel our jets with clouds of condensation.
