March 9th, 2008

These guys repurposed an old steam engine to serve as a backup generator. This is the most incredible application of crust that I have ever seen.

This page is a diary about our effort to build a steam powered ‘backup generator’ to charge our batteries. For the most part we have all the power we could ever need from our small 600 Watt solar array and our 20′ diameter wind turbine, but on occasion I do need to run a generator and I always figured that a steam engine would be the most fun, plus… I don’t need to rely on petroleum – I have lots of wood all around me!
