I was recently contacted by an Indian company (Tinytech) offering steam plants which might suit members, and we are passing this information on for your interest.
Mark Rudall offered the following wise words on experience with this company:
Tiny Tech, India, have advertised their steam engines and Yarrow type boilers for many years and they are built for the developing world to provide simple power sources often on indigenous fuels. We have been sent their current price list, which is here for your interest. It is important to note the caveat that imported boilers, however robustly built, would not necessarily meet European demands for provenance of materials, certification of welds etc.. Moreover, the engines, given their target market, are somewhat crude, but do operate.
TinyTech wrote as follows:
Dear Steam Friends,
I have conviction in my heart that steam power is going to come back sooner or later.
So with great difficulties I developed steam engines from 2.5 hp to 70 hp and also water tube boilers of various sizes.
If any of your members is seriously interested in steam engine, he can contact me.
I will be pleased to give my full co operation.
I am giving below the price list of my steam engine
