A 9-foot in diameter solar furnace, even under optimum conditions, will turn a cup full of water into steam in about one hour. A 1 hp steam engine, the smallest we make, requires 3 to 5 gallons of water turned to steam every hour. Worse, a medium-pressure steam engine (80 to 150 psi) requires incoming steam as hot as 366 degrees F. (185 C, 150 psi). The steam that leaves the exhaust port is still at 264 degrees F (128 C).
