No castings are used to build this single stage, geared impulse type steam turbine.
Casing and some parts are made from stock aluminum and steel materials; other parts - bearings,
gears, etc. - are commercially available. A durable workhorse of a small, practical, steam turbine.
* All plans are "shipped" electronically, as PDF files.
If you do not have a PDF reader (software to let you look at, even print, a PDF) you can go to
adobe.com (never use a PDF reader that wasn't made by adobe, the inventors of PDF), or click
here: the One True Adobe PDF Reader - Download.
(Personally,
we would turn off their "free offers" prior to clicking the download button [those are for non-Adobe
products], but that's your call.)
BTW: "PDF" stands for Portable Document Format. It's just a secure way (the secure way,
actually) to move documents around electronically.
HP (in this context) means Horse Power.
(Of course you know that; just being thorough.) It's a unit of power equal to 550
foot-pounds per second
or 735.5 (or 746 -- believe it not, opinions vary)
watts, and is the usual
measure of the amount of work an engine can do.
