	Chapter 5: Thermodynamics
		If the steam does not exit with enough force to spin the can, there may be too much friction on the chain (too short a chain, not a brass chain, too heavy a can) but more likely the problem is with the nozzles.
		The steam is hot inside the can because of two things: the speed of the molecules, and the number of molecules crammed into that little space.
		As the steam continues to expand, it encounters the section of tubing that used to be full of water.

		I had decided to build a steam powered vehicle, with my dad, during the summer of the previous year, but couldn't think of anything which would get used regularly enough to warrant the significant financial and physical outlay.
		At this time the engine's exhaust steam was disposed of to atmosphere through the side of the hull via a feed water pre-heater.
		Using the waste steam to induce draught through the boiler was found to be much more beneficial.

	Steamboat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A steamboat or steamship, sometimes called a steamer, is a boat or vessel which is propelled by steam power that drives a propeller or paddlewheel.
		Meanwhile, Patrick Miller of Dalswinton, near Dumfries, Scotland, had developed double-hulled boats propelled by cranked paddlewheels placed between the hulls, and he engaged the engineer William Symington to build his patent steam engine into a boat which was successfully tried out on Dalswinton Loch in 1788, and followed by a larger steamboat the next year.
		The Belle of Louisville, based at the port of Louisville, Kentucky is the oldest continually operating steamboat on the inland waterways of the United States: her hull was laid as the Idlewild in 1914.

	Steamboat Days by Fred Erving Dayton - Early Development
		James Rumsey began his experiments in steam navigation in 1774, and in 1786 he succeeded in driving a boat at the rate of four miles an hour, at Shepherdstown, West Virginia, on the Potomac River.
		When these had been corrected the boat was found capable of moving at three or four miles an hour, the boiler being of insufficient capacity to maintain a higher speed.
		This first engine used for a steam propeller was accurately and skillfully made and when it was put in a new hull, forty years afterward, worked successfully without alteration, at eight miles an hour.

		In the meantime, d’Auxiron had been working on a design for a steam propelled boat and de Follenay, who had many friends in high places, was able to get him a Government promise that he would be the sole operator of steam boats, on French rivers, for 15 years.
		De Follenay undertook to arrange the finance for Auxiron’s first boat and a company was formed on May 23, 1772; among the shareholders — who undertook to meet any debts in accordance with their holdings — was the Compte de Jouffroy d’Uxelles, uncle of Jouffroy d’Abbans.
		The three were determined to succeed with steam powered boats and, in 1776, d’Abbans tested a 13 metre steam powered boat on the river Doubs.

		This was my boat but sadly, after fourteen years of pleasure, she has had to be sold and no longer is she my boat.
		Although parts of the boat are over 75 years old, the main work was carried out in 1989 by Bay Class Yachts at their yard in Conyer, Kent.
		Although the skeg at the stern is deep the rest of the boat is relatively shallow so she very rarely runs aground, then usually only the skeg, which cuts through the obstruction without much trouble.

	Steam Engines and regulations - Boat Design Forums
		For small boats we have Recreational Craft Directive, but a supporting standard to cover steam engines is not available (and I suspect won't be for a couple of years).
		I don't know about the EU, but here in the US, steam boilers not covered by the USCG regs fall under Fedural, state and local laws; which for most means a (yearly) boiler inspection and certificate of operation under the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors (http://www.nationalboard.org) in order to get insurance.
		Don't know what steam powered launch club you belong to, but the only one in the Pacific Northwest is the Northwest Steam Society and we just finished proving to the Washington State Boiler Inspection Division that it had no jurisdiction over steamboats of ANY size operated on a navigable waterway of the United States.

	A beginner's guide to understanding a small marine steam power plant
		The steam is transferred via a pipe to the engine where a valve admits steam to the engine's cylinder at appropriate, set intervals, pushing a piston up and down.
		When the steam reaches the engine, its admission to the cylinder to push the piston up or down must be controlled.
		The exhaust steam from the engine enters one end and, in its passage, is condensed to water.

	how putt putt steam engines work
		The boat is now moving and as it does so, it passes another man in the water and he grabs hold of the ladder at the back of the boat.
		So, this old boat rebuilt by a friend in the Netherlands does not have a putt-putt engine, but it does have all the feel the pop pop enthusiasts share.
		Putt putt boats are a variation of such a resonator because they rely on a column that springs back and forth, although usually it's just an air column, not water.
