If the British team is not using propane to heat their boiler tubes they might want to consider that design . A normal hot air balloon propane burner puts out at least 8,000,000 BTUs . If the flame preheated a thin wall inconel steam coil and the throttle pedal controlled the water flow into the boiler coil and the system was 25% efficient that's 780+ hp with little lag time . _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Land-speed mailing list http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/land-speed |
