A [[Steam Generator]] can be used to power devices such as steam engines and steam turbines.
The '''Steam Generator is a device used to create steam by applying heat energy to water.  


At least two of the [[GVCS]] use steam to drive them:  the [[Steam Engine]] and the [[Solar Turbine]]. Both of these machines convert expanding steam into rotational power, power that can be used to drive other GVCS tools or generate electric power.  Excess or vented steam can also be used to heat a home or greenhouse.

Overview

Steam Generator

The Steam Generator is a device used to create steam by applying heat energy to water.

Details

It can be used to power devices such as steam engines and steam turbines. Both of these machines convert expanding steam into rotational power, power that can be used to drive other GVCS tools or generate electric power. Excess or vented steam can also be used to heat a home or greenhouse.
