I never heard of these gas bags, other than politicians. Is it possible to put a gas bag on every politician? Hmmm. Anyway, would like to hear more about these gas bags on the buses.

Yes that can be done. But in the case of steam, one needs to create a rocket type burner that cleanly burns all the hydrocarbons. It uses almost all the possible heat in the fuel and leaves little to no smoke. It's best to use it directly. Also, don't forget that these type systems are best...

Hate to mention is, but it is always a possible side project to build one yourself.

About efficiency,of course what you are saying is true, but also irrelevant. Irrelevant because the peeps who would use this have other costs that are unsustainable. For instnace, take a person on one of the islands from Vancouver to the Aleutians. (and there are quiter a few)., He has a...

Ah, as I was looking for info on Charles Porter, this HMEM thread poppt up. As I had replied to it already, but re-read it I found I wanted to reply to this part. We all know the approximate workings of a capacitor, that is, how it temporarily stores an electric charge, and we all know how...

There are many good kinds, but one must, as you imply, be very careful. Mushroom hunters have learned to distinguish the various kinds. Most have easily found distinguishing characteristics.

You guys have all given me a bunch of yummy stuff. I ordered the book The Gemini High Speed Engine for Flash Steam from Tee publishing in UK (a facsimile). BTW, my name is spelled (Hed). Have you ever heard of "Harry Head" a naughty underground comic from Vancouver from the late 60's...

I disagree completely. My advice: leave it alone and let it do it's thing. The spores are there for a reason. This type of mushroom does NOT have a puffball, it will drop it's spores from the gills at the bottom. Leave it alone.

This looks do-able. I found that Graham has a book (or two) but not available in this country. At least not easy to find. Do you know if there are any plans available?

When you say you started on this, do yhou mean drawings?

Very nice photos. I'm amazed that you could find all this stuff. I'm particularly interested in these Corliss'.

Has anyone made one of the enclosed crank type steam engines? I thimpfk they are the short connecting rod type started by Charles Porter. Here's one: https://www.nmes.org/bandl.html I've seen others too. If anyone knows of plans for any of these, I would appreciate a heads up. Odd that...

IT looks like a completely edible mushroom. Cannot tell, of course, from a photo. But in US, there is one that looks similarly called a "shaggy mane". I don't believe shaggy has anything to do with the bedroom. The shaggy mane is very expensive. Don't remember if the shaggy has a cone of...

Don't forget, Grizzly has a warehouse/shop in Missouri, not too far from Texas. Their wares are reputable and so far, not overpriced.

Not true about speeding in snow and ice--the '72 Eldo is 6000lbs with front wheel drive. i was trying to scare some passengers--85mph up Snoqualmie pass in the ice and snow. It workt.

As you know, the "micro-waves" are a form of radar, radar is a long form of light but a short form of radio waves. All light, when it strikes a material, will heat it up. Just stand in the sunlight, and you can feel the heat. To understand how microwaves work in comparison to visible light...

Yes, I had trouble too, but after I figured outy what the problem was, I fount it to be so trivial, it was a wonder I had the troubler in the first place.
