How do you build and install a water fuel converter for a 2003 pon tiac grand prix gt?
first you take a heater or a stove and you boil the water which will turn into steam and the steam will poduce energy which it would turn into electricity in which you can use it for steam locomotive and other stuff.
Were there steam trains in the 1870's?
Yes, there were steam trains in the 1870s. The first steam locomotive was developed by Scottish inventor William Murdoch in 1784. By the 1830s, steam trains were in use in much of the world.
What mode transportation did they use going west?
steamboat and the steam locomotive
What is the name of the oldest steam locomotive still in use?
The fairy queen.
How do you use locomotive in a sentence?
The locomotive steam train pulled into the station.Example sentence - The locomotive was traveling west.The locomotive was travelling at one hundred miles per hour.
Why aren't steam trains used anymore?
Because they used steam engines, which rely on fire to turn water into steam to power pistons which makes the train move. Also, while in use some of the steam is always released, creating big steam clouds around the locomotive.
Where was the steam train invented?
In 1784, William Murdoch, a Scottish inventor, built a prototype steam train.The first full scale working railway steam locomotive was built by Richard Trevithick in the United Kingdom.Richard Trevithick (13 April 1771 - 22 April 1833) a British inventor, built the first full-scale working railway Steam Locomotive. On 21 February 1804 the world's first railway journey took place as Trevithick's unnamed steam locomotive hauled a train along the tramway of the Pennydarren ironworks, near Merthyr Tydvil in Wales, Great Britain. George Stephenson (9 June 1781 - 12 August 1848) a British civil engineer and mechanical engineer who built the first public railway line in the world to use steam locomotives and is known as the "Father of Railways". Trevithick invented the first train, Stephenson the first public railway line. **Early prototypes of Locomotive were built such as Scottish Inventor William Murdoch 1784.
What are major types of trains?
The three major types of trains are steam, electric, and diesel. Steam: The locomotive is powered by steam pressure. Traditionally, it is created by heating water using a coal-powered boiler. The boiler usually made up most of the locomotive. Electric: The locomotive is powered directly from an electric source to power it's electric engine. Either from an overhead wire or third rail that are both charged with high voltage power. Diesel: The locomotive is powered using diesel fuel to power the locomotive engine or prime mover. A common use of this fuel is diesel-electric. This is where the prime mover powers a generator that stores electric power that is then sent to electric motors known as "traction motors" mounted on each train axle that turn the wheels.
Why is the steam-driven locomotive important?
For historical reasons - remember, it was built before any electrical devices were in use.
Who invented the locomotive?
Richard Trevithick (13 April 1771 - 22 April 1833) a British inventor, built the first full-scale working railway Steam Locomotive.

Most people are taught to believe that the first locomotive was designed and built by Richard Trevithick in 1804. However, they would be wrong. The real inventor who built the first working steam locomotive was in fact, John Fitch in 1794.
When did steam train get inveted?
The steam engine, the use of steam has been percolating since old Chinese days of a toylike device filled with water and pipes coming out of its sides hung over a candle spinning like a top. Time enough man gets ideas how to use this and technology advances by the addition of ideas, technical capabilities, and trial and error. A crude steam device was built to pump water out of coal mines. The late 1700's a crude steam locomotive was invented and the first railroads started in the early 1800's with the first early steam engines, and it slowly grows from there. There is no one -definitive- date of a steam train being invented, but it sounds like the start of the application of a "steam locomotive" may have started about the late 1700's. The start of the modern steam era was about 1911 onward where the super power designs were just getting into its start and peaks around world war 2, the start of the diesel locomotive development started the slow demise of the steam locomotive and by around 1960 most railroads had ended mainline steam use. Museums and historical societies today still keep the steam locomotive alive that you can ride behind a real live steam engine still.
