Very useful for.....well....nothing as far as I can tell, with the
exception that it could make some personal injury attorney alot of
money.


Of course, if you looked and thought while you were looking, you'd see
that it's an antique four-stroke gas engine (started by another antique
four-stroke gas engine). Probably all of 10 horsepower, but it's a
_steady_ 10 horsepower.

The only steam involved is cooling the engines.


I believe it is a hit an miss. Only fires when the fly wheel slows
down, would be great around here with the frequent power outages.
