Has anyone ever built a model of a de Laval turbine? I mean one with a

Or do you know of a good text about them? Most are either too simple or
they're too abstract on the engineering theory side.

I'd like to build a model of one, but not just a steam windmill. g I'd
like to have some real de Laval nozzles on it.

Thanks to any steamers who know about these motors.

More good stuff, from astronomy sources of all places:

Ed,

At the following address is a very good little book on the design and
manufacture of model steam turbines:

Also Model Engineer magazine has had articles on this subject from
time-to-time.

Wolfgang

Great. Thanks, Wolfgang.
