A stationary steam engine in a Siamese rice mill:
I imagine that they keep these things in use because the boilers are fired with rice husks, which are a by-product of the milling process. So their fuel costs are near zero.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

Open flywheel.
ReplyDeleteWork safety ftw, yay!

ReplyDeleteTHese are not only cheap to operate, but they don't take a great deal of maintainance. Just fill the oil pots daily, and clean the flues every few hours.
Once set up, I'd bet that no one has adjusted it in years.
Likely there is an engineer that comes by once or twice a year that does any required maintainance like repacking gland joints and doing rod shims and such. The rest is fairly low tech...
