Back from the Energy Fair
We just returned from the North Country Sustainable Energy Fair, where we taught classes on DIY Wind Turbine design and DIY Solar installation. We saw a number of really neat things there, and will be showcasing them here over the next few days. The one we want to talk about today is the Pearl Steam Engine. Pearl Steam Engines are a natural and superior power source for generators. The Pearl Single Cylinder Engine will easily produce 1 kilowatt. The Pearl Twin Cylinder Engine will easily provide 2 kilowatts.
Utilizing the exhaust’s heat allows for co-generation. This raises overall efficiency even further. We highly suggest you take a look.
Professionally, I'm an IT Engineer (Executive Level) and Electronics Tech. Philosophically, I'm a Green Conservative, leaning towards Libertarian, and may have been a hippie in the 60's if I had been old enough. I live off grid, with Solar (PV), Wind, veggie oil fueled diesel generator power, veggie Chevy Suburban and have been teaching and living sustainable technology for over 10 years.
