  2. High-pressure steam locomotive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-pressure_steam_locomotive

    The HP boiler worked at approx 850 psi (5.86 MPa), and the low-pressure boiler at 200 to 250 psi (1.38 to 1.72 MPa). The UHP and HP boilers were of a water-tube design, while the LP boiler was a fire-tube boiler typical for steam locomotives. The LP cylinders were driven with a mixture of the HP cylinder exhaust and the LP boiler output. Both ...

  4. Tesla's oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla's_oscillator

    Steam would be forced into the oscillator, and exit through a series of ports, pushing a piston up and down that was attached to an armature, causing it to vibrate up and down at high speed, producing electricity. The casing's upper chamber had to withstand pressures of 400 psi (2.8 MPa) and temperatures exceeding 200 °C. Some versions used ...

    These units were capable of 5,800 hp (4,300 kW) but had been rated at 4,600 hp (3,400 kW) and classified as CW46AHs. [citation needed] Union Pacific also had their 16-7HDL AC6000's repowered with FDL-16's, creating an entire fleet of 4,400-hp AC6000CWs. [4] Beginning in 2018, Union Pacific had begun sending its AC6000CWs to GE for rebuilding.

    Cities in the 19th century also used hydraulic transmission using high pressure water mains to deliver power to factory motors. London's system delivered 7,000 horsepower (5.2 MW) over a 180-mile (290 km) network of pipes carrying water at 800 pounds per square inch (5.5 MPa). These systems were replaced by cheaper and more versatile electrical ...
