Could this type of boiler and system be used to eliminate cinders from coal burning locomotives in tourist railroads where the fire hazard is really high? Would that keep the coal burning smell and the felling of coal burning locomotive, but without the fire danger?
Yes! It has been designed with this application in mind. The feel of a coal burner will be retained with less fire risk than a diesel. It would need to be fired on a biomass sourced fuel such as bio-coal, log wood, briquettes etc.
Not sure why you are using a positive displacement pump for circulation - surely a centrfugal pump would be simpler and more reliable, A centrifugal pump could be driven by a small impulse turbine, or maybe if you were ambitious a tesla turbine (well, probably not the latter).
Already he’s one of my heroes just with that intro
It whould be really nice to get to see the water tube part if that's possible

@@Mackwell-Cois it just the fuel it burns that makes it smokeless or some other design aspect
It is our high temperature combustion system @caledonianrailway1233 that eliminates smoke
@@Mackwell-Co thanks
Where did you learn how to draft and design as well as be a machinist?
