Damn while everybody else is stiring the pot with sexual orientations here am I designing a steam powerplant and studying boiler theories...
For the 1000th time.
You know you've researched something enough times to when you're explaining *simple* it goes over their heads like a concord jet.
I've also purchased a book written by the guy who invented the una-flow engine a design that is easy to make these days.
I have a few ideas for a una-flow engine using two sets of rotary valves one for intake control and one for valve control set up with closed loop condenser set up with a centrifugal oil separator. The boiler design is the only thing I'm no 100% certain on is the boiler. This is where 90 percent of the danger lies in these engines.
However theres been proven designs for boilers and I'm confident that modern areogel insulation and thermocouplers will allow system that has a higher efficiency than was seen in the past.
