This is a larger Steam Engine I have. It was tested at 80 PSI and has a lot of torque. The Permanent Magnet motor is a 1HP Leeson motor that produces very high voltage. It is a good option for lower RPM turbines requiring higher charging voltage.
The Timing Chain and gear were placed to test the maximum DC voltage. This is a lower torque setup. For heavier load testing I will be reversing the arrangement.
The Geared motor requires 90V DC to run at 4900 RPM to the 120 to 1 ratio of 40 RPM.
This Tested at 60 RPM so the power was about 100 watts of the single motor and 185 for the double setup.
