YouTube. Steam Cycle.

Great video on this bike. Coal fired, steam power. 

Anybody who has worked with steam powered anything knows that's a nut roaster.:Alex:

Thanks. I never even thought of looking. I thought it was a fake, made just to look like it was steam somehow.

 

Lack of experienced Boilermen make this very dangerous now. 

Boiler repairs and maintenance required a good working knowledge of extremely high pressures and metal expansion and contraction, to safely work on/with them.

I read a 1900's manual on boiler repair (such as a locomotive boiler) and the techniques are fascinating.  Repairing cracks is almost an art form.
