Remarkable rotary steam engine exhibition in Philadelphia
A compact six to eight horse rotary steam engine prototype on show in Philadelphia claims to surpass piston engines in power per space. The design uses two wheels inside a circular frame with steam buckets and a reactive wheel, requiring no valves or eccentrics, and reportedly weighs about 800 pounds for a thirty horsepower output. It promises savings in fuel and space, with potential for rail, hoisting, boiling, and factory use. The device, not entirely new, has been tested for two years and drew attention for its unusual configuration and operation.
