<HTML>You already have the hydroplane ...to have spec on drive requirements for power and rpm's.Maybe hull/planing speeds.
Would be interesting ,if you pulled that one off......lots of info for power recovery turbine steamcars.For anyone willing to tackle it.
With the exception of the Titanic or similar large piston marine applications.Few ,if any, power recovery turbines were known to exist.
Maybe some picture ,for the boat guys to check out. To see,if the hull is up to par for what you have in mind .have to pass on that part.
Powerplant has me puzzling ,but no "golden answers" on that yet.
How pounds of pressure were you thinking for the boiler.....with the crude at best info.You use in straight shot plumbing about 88 lbs/hp and 10660lbs/hr steam at 100psi. for 120hp.With better plumbing you can shave that number to 2500 lbs./hr. Assumed saturated until you come up with a superheat number.</HTML>
