Charles etal, Putting a small permag motor in a shell made to resemble a turbine generator is perzackly what I did for my wonderful Mich-Cal Shay. Made a little turbine wheel similar to the one in the LS article and installed it on the motor shaft. Never have tried it on steam, but it works with air pressure. > > Now my question -- why not put a suitable size permag or universal motor inside the shell you have acquired? > > Charles MODEL ENGINEERING DISCUSSION LIST.
