Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Thanks Doug for posting the run . My pelton is the only one that has resistance when turned by hand and it is thirsty on air . I have run my TS 532 with 5 :1 gear reduction on17 psi of air running 4 Jensen gens . However when I tried to run off a 3" Jensen boiler @ 660 watts and starting at 30 psi it would not spool up . I think the big turbine acted as a heat sink killing the steam . I ment to work on insulation of the turbine  but but have not yet .
