Hobbyist's Steam Engine
This is your chance to build your very own working Steam Engine! Here was have a complete set of plans for a small scale Hobbyist's Steam Engine. This Engine is unique in that it has its own internal boiler that can run on a wide variety of solid fuels and can output up to 16 RF/t! For even more power you can attach an external Steam source to boost the Engine's output to 20 RF/t. (See our companion product, the Steam Boiler.) It has a 100,000 RF internal buffer.
One word of warning though! Steam can be dangerous! Make sure to keep the Engine supplied with water at all times! If it runs out, you'll have to wait for the engine to cool back down before adding more water. If you add water to a dry and hot Engine, it can explode!
