Very interesting. I have to wonder, though, whether it would be better to use steam pistons beyond a certain point in order to maximize torque for turning a huge single screw.
Wow! I used to go into a locomotive engine re-builder plant to work on their forklifts when I worked for Hyster and they showed me some pretty big engines but nothing compared to that. Neat thing about it is according to what they say that thing is pretty efficient.
I'd sure hate to be the guy that had to torque all those studs down. :tard: LOL
