Will it make it...
« on: May 02, 2010, 04:57:31 PM »
I have a question, I have been reveiwing the board on the steam engine storys.  Question, None of them really say how long they last.  As in the current one, An old compressor head.  I have a old 2 stroke weed whacker engine.  Now if that was set up to run on steam, How long would it last??  Considering it was not designed for that purpose.  Lets say ran 8 hours a day everyday.  Just for something to follow.  Would it make it a week, a day?????
