    Streetcars powered by a fireless locomotive? How? Well, an external boiler charges it up with water and steam, which gives it a range of nine miles before returning to base.

    A GIF some of you might like. Also, I have a question;

    I have for the longest time wanted to build a steambike, and recently I have decided to go through with it... But first... Math...

    So does anyone here have a steam production table at X temperature with Y surface area

    Also a calculator for Hp like; X pressure + Y piston volume = Z hp

    I didn't even know canal steamboats existed until now! It's a fairly forgotten form of steam vessel, but they ran around for a few decades!
