The short answer is no. Yes, you can easily generate electricity with steam engines, using a dynamo. However, I have no power to spare, as these engines are weak and can just barely power itself along. And the biggest problem is, you need to servos to control a valve for the engine to start, yet you need the engine first to generate electricity for the servos. These marine steam engines that are set up for servo forward and reverse, are not constant running.

The most straightforward way is the alternator hooked up to your engine. You may find that you'll want to increase its capacity significantly, especially if you want some form of refrigeration (see below). Wind power can keep your batteries charged, and can have high output if you're in a consistently windy region. Unfortunately, high winds can damage or destroy your wind generating equipment, and by all accounts it makes a terrible racket. See similar questions...

The steam generator requires 1500 watts. A regular circuit breaker can accommodate this load, which is similar to a household appliance. The cost of operating the Steamy Wonder™ is extremely modest—far less than a traditional sauna or steam cabinet. See similar questions...

Clean. Geothermal power plants, like wind and solar power plants, do not have to burn fuels to manufacture steam to turn the turbines. Generating electricity with geothermal energy helps to conserve nonrenewable fossil fuels, and by decreasing the use of these fuels, we reduce emissions that harm our atmosphere. There is no smoky air around geothermal power plants -- in fact some are built in the middle of farm crops and forests, and share land with cattle and local wildlife. See similar questions...

Yes! You can generate your own electricity. It strictly a question of economics. Your most profitable opportunity is to displace natural gas/fuel oil used to generate steam. If after meeting the plant's thermal load, you still have a surplus of wood, you can generate additional steam and generate electricity for your plant use or to sell back to the utility or a broker.

Surprisingly, vapor steam cleaners operate at low pressures usually 50 to 60 psi. The better machines allow you to vary the pressure and regulate the steam, as more delicate tasks need less pressure. A nice feature is fingertip controls of the steam pressure. The low pressure feature is important in getting the job done without making a mess and spraying particulates all over the place. This was a big criticism we had of cheaper units- they seemed to create as much mess as they cleaned. See similar questions...

Yes. The Steamist steamhead has a dimple in the top. This allows the bather to put a couple of drops of essential oils in it. This is a wonderful enhancement to the steam experience. However, do not put oils on the steam head while steam is being emitted from the head as there is possibility for injury due to burning. Caution: Steam is 212°F, in other words, steam is HOT!

No. Conservative on water (1 - 1 ? gallon average) and electricity, Steamist is a very cost effective way to relax at home. As compared to whirlpool tubs, 2-3 fills of the tub can give the bather a year's worth of steambaths. No. It's virtually maintenance-free. The Steamist unit comes complete with a 5 Year Limited Warranty on Parts and 2 Year Labor Warranty (In-Home when available). See similar questions...

Giant blades that are mounted on a tower catch the wind and turn a shaft. The turning shaft spins a generator that makes electricity. See similar questions...

Enxco claims that Hoosac will produce 84,000 megawatt hours (MWh) annually, which is high compared with similar wind power plants. Nonetheless, based on Enxco’s number, Hoosac will produce in one year the amount of electricity used in Massachusetts for half a day. That is the equivalent of less than 14 one-hundredths of one percent of the state’s annual consumption. See similar questions...

Meridian Energy meets approximately one third of New Zealand's electricity needs from its nine hydro power stations in the South Island. Hydro power is a key part of the New Zealand electricity generation mix, but it is vulnerable to low rainfall and limited future development options. Developing hydro facilities requires considerable investment, major engineering work and longer lead-in times compared with developing wind farms. See similar questions...

The estimated rated output of the 510V is 1kW in 30 mph winds; the estimated rating for the 520H is 1.8kW. More accurate ratings will be available subsequent to further refinement of the turbine and its electronic equipment. See similar questions...

They come with their own A/C adapter that plugs in to a regular wall outlet. If your wall outlet is susceptible to power surges, we recommend that you plug it in to a surge protector. It takes 200 butterflies/dragonflies moving at once to equal the electrical usage of a 100 watt lightbulb. Because they use very little energy, not only can you leave them plugged in 24 hours a day, but it is recommended. NOTE: We do not recommend using any adapter, other than the one furnished, at any time. See similar questions...

A 120V generator has limited applications. It can be used in small acrylic shower units, which don't have high heat demands due to size and wall materials. In today's upscale steam showers, demands of time and materials such as marble, travertine, etc. have power requirements, which are best served by a 240V generator. Heat loss from an open door can be recovered quickly. See similar questions...

Yes, we do use steam. When bread goes into a hot, dry oven, the outside begins to dry out and form a crust before the bread has had a chance to finish its final rise. Introducing steam helps to keep the surface moist and pliable so the bread can continue to rise. Steam also helps develop the crust, gives the bread shine and contributes to color. We steam all of our breads. See similar questions...

Eleven coal-burning plants produce most of TVA’s electricity. Four of these plants and two freestanding sites also have combustion turbines, which burn natural gas or fuel oil. TVA has three nuclear plants, 29 hydroelectric dams, and one pumped-storage plant, and since April 2000 it has added energy from three renewable sources — sun, wind, and methane gas — to its power mix. In addition, eight Army Corps of Engineers dams and four Alcoa dams contribute to the TVA power system. See similar questions...
