Years ago, I saw an add in the back of a "Countryside" magazine about converting your Briggs and Stratton engine to run off of steam, and meant to save it for future reference and research. But I'll be dipped in chocolate fudge and staked out over an ant hill if I can find any info about it now. Can't find the magazine I thought the ad was in, in my library. Can't find anything in any of my bookmarks. And a Google search wasn't very encouraging either.
Anyone have any info on this concept, or was the ad placer literally blowing smoke?
Reason I'm asking is I am toying with the idea of building a po' boy genset for use up in the barn, be it gas, producer gas, or steam powered... and to that end I have a 5HP Briggs with a horizontal shaft sitting up there just waiting to be tinkered with.
