John, <br /> <br />What are the material properties of the 'steel' used for the boiler? Where did you use the steel-lead alloy? Was the steel welded? What specifications did you use for welding? What temperature was the steam when operating at 10,000psi? What was the volume of steam and water in the boiler under normal operating conditions? How much water was used in the primary system? What was the inside diameter of the boiler? What was the stroke of the piston? What was the diameter? Where did you acquire the steel casting for the boiler? Where was the boiler machined? How heavy was the engine (with and without water)? What was the diameter of the drivers? How much weight was on the drivers? What systems were used to moniter the reactors performance? How many pumps were used to circulate the steam? What was the HP rating of these pumps? How were these pumps powered? How were the other systems necessary to operate the reactor powered? How was the boiler recharged as steam was used up? How much water was normally loaded into the tender(s)? Oh, what was the distance traveled by your train when pulling the 100,000 tons of coal at an average speed of 45 mph? Where did you get an engineering degree? When? <br /> <br />Ed
