<HTML>Aircraft mechanic knows more about helicopter engines than steam.
Reading alot ...so much information having a problem with confusion.
The 180 turn separator sounds like what we use on turbines to keep the sand from eating the turbine up.And the impact separator is like what you use on aircycles (airconditioner that use air instead freon)except we use foam or cloth cone on frame instead of a plate.
Hoping to get enorgh of grip on the steam theory to, in time take free turbine in my junk bin.The compressor is setup to power the the gearbox turbine like a air version of a torque convertor in a car. Build it into steam pumped steam turbine with unused steam compounded? back to intake.But from what little I read water erosion would be hell on the blades.
The second step is how to convert a burncan to a HPsteam to LPsteam flash burner/boiler?without going over combusion chamber 175lbs work/250psi burst pressure.
Thanks for information, do you know any good books that might help?
With luck...might see a steam '76 Mercedes in 2 or 3 years.</HTML>
