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.


Guess I didn't look too closely. I was too busy laughing at the
vibrating wagon seat bouncing up and down on its springs and thinking
the driver was going to get tossed into the road by them. I just saw
two large flywheels and thought "steam engine". A very dangerous
looking contraption.
