This website is about all of the latest work on steam power in the last 75 years. Modern steam power is a little known or understood subject. In contrast to almost all other steam information on the internet, this information is scientifically correct. Therefore it will not offer Tesla turbines, free energy from burning water, or any of the many types of goofy rotary engines that the fertile human mind has invented. I have collected homemade steam engines and monotube boilers. These will be illustrated and described. I have collected the best steam library in the country and that will, likewise, be described. I would rather talk about steam than eat. Tom Kimmel Working on fixing the Steam Blog button on the left. The Steam Blog has been changed into the Tetracon Steam Books Website, Blog and store.

| SACA Phorum | ||
One of the better sources of good steam information is the Steam Automobile Club of America (SACA) Phorum, which is a chat room open to everyone and sponsored by SACA. Because this is open to everyone, we think that many—probably most—of the participants are not club members. Thus, the thoughts and theories expressed are not the official club thoughts and theories. In fact, the club does not have an official anything except a broad acceptance of anything steam related. The club is not organized enough to have an official position even if we wanted to have a position. We will take off any vindictive, ad hominem, or otherwise irrelevant comments. We encourage participation by new and unknowledgeable steam enthusiasts. It is difficult for the engineers, or engineer type of thinkers, to deal with uninformed thoughts and opinions. We are sorry for any mental anguish thus caused; however, it is in the answering of incorrect information that the subject is learned. Almost all new steam people come to the subject with similar and incorrect assumptions. These need to be dealt with on a regular basis. It is in the dealing with every type of idea that arguments are sharpened and knowledge is imputed. |
