Steam Power NanoD way

[NanoD]

So we have seen steam power used. Still little bit troublesome. And som resort to utilize bugs. 

Well if you going to use one bug why not use 3. 

So here I have created a Steam power generator that will EASY run off a iron volcano . Ahh and it is easy to build to.

Should I explain how it works?

Every thing should be built in vacuum that way everything will be easier. Because everything should be in vacuum. 

EDIT: To initiate the machine add 2 kg of hydrogen in the steam room. After that add 400 kg of water and start up the machine. It takes 4 cycles to start up if you use 23 C water. And burns tons of heat from the Iron. but if you add 99 C water it will start fast and use little heat from the iron. 

And add som easy Automation.

Buffer gate 10 sec

Filter gate  1 sec.

Temp sensor on 155 C.

And the secret sauces why it works.

insulated tile made of obsidian?  I'm going to need more context on how this works

How it works, The insulated tile of obsidian will heat up and the Steam generator will get heated up by the Insulated tile. But the trick is that the Steam generator senses the temp of the Tile and says hey it is warm enuf to run. So I Run on steam that is only about 155-158 C temp.

how do you maintain the pressure difference? 

[NanoD]

I have hydrogen in the chamber and you know how 2 gases can interact and create a  low pressure zone, and the steam generator only needs to sense one point that is lower in pressure. But Some times it stabilizes and is stable that why I have a random Door in side so if that happens I just close the door and it fixes that problem. Usually it only happens once.

neat

[NanoD]

It uses about 16 MJ a cycle.

The "Steam Hackinator" is born?

It's basically two current exploits of the steam gen that are allowing this to work - and i'd imagine it'll be nerfed into the dirt soon enough.

More interesting (for me anyways) was this vid posted by mxr : 

They're both examples of exploiting badly implemented kit that should "hopefully" be fixed in the future - but as the exploits aren't the only way to get a steam turbine up and running - it's not the end of the world in my opinion.

Nice compact little build as ever though Nanomages xox

Ahh nice. When I did explore how to do the exploit I did try Chlorine. But I forgot that if you have very low amount of it will insulate better. Damn it.

Nice solution to pressure detection.

And now you can use the Steam generator as a water boiler for free to

I just decided to go for a big old boiler but actually get my gens up to temp

I built the same thing 2 weeks ago : 

You don't even need that much Hydrogen, even 1 g is enough for that design. Also it's better to make it as small as possible, then you can run it with less Water, like this:

As for the pressure problem it happens when the turbine is sucking steam faster than it moves around, it can be solved by having more steam in the room. For the above design IIRC you need around 20kg per tile or ~400kg of water to avoid that.

just an attention. if you are using pressure cheating, steam turbine will eat steam slowly.

top 5 pressure-checking blocks also play the role as steam output blocks. steam will output equally to the 5 blocks. if one or more of them are occupied by any element except steam, the steam outputted by turbine might be eaten. in my test, every block occupied by impurity will lead around 17% steam to dissappear.

 

so even if you dont use pressure cheating intendedly, its still better to keep your turbine room without impurities.

That is true I have lost about 8 kg of steam in 60 cycles. 

Why I am not using door compressor is because it will delete steam at a much higher rate.

this is how it was made to work

magma at the bottom + water/polluted water dripping + a row of steam generators

+1 nice info!

This isn't true bud, you just need to make sure they don't shut too quickly, and at corner points (where gasses have to move in an "L" shape) allow more than 1 second between door closes.

I have done test with only 1 door and it still deletes gas. So.

Edit: Ok I see what you mean if you close door with 1 sec intervall they destroy gases. Good to know.

I did try this problem with it is that you will have tons of steam deleted.

When I run my way there is no steam deletion. At least what I have seen.
