Wikipedia Articles
- Stationary steam engine - Stationary steam engines are fixed steam engines used for pumping or driving mills and factories, and for power generation. They are distinct from locomotive engines used on railways, traction engines for heavy steam haulage on roads, steam motor vehicles, agricultural engines used for ploughing or threshing, and marine engines.
- Kempton Park Steam Engines - The Kempton Park Steam Engines (also known as the Kempton Great Engines) are two large triple-expansion steam engines, at the Kempton Park waterworks, Middlesex, London. Each engine is of a similar size to that used in RMS Titanic and rated at about 1008hp.
- Kew Bridge Steam Museum - Kew Bridge Steam Museum houses a museum of water supply and a collection of water pumping steam engines. The museum is an Anchor Point of ERIH, The European Route of Industrial Heritage.
- Combined steam and gas - Combined steam and gas (COSAG) is a propulsion system for ships using a combination of steam turbines and gas turbines to power the shafts. A gearbox and clutches enable either of the engines or both of them together to drive the shaft.
- Steam aircraft - Steam aircraft are aircraft that are propelled by steam engines. They were unusual devices because of the difficulty in producing a powerplant with a high enough power to weight ratio to be practical.
