    Yep a lot of them had boilers
    BUT AS YOU KEEP AVOIDING
    THEY DIDN’T RUN ELECTRIC POWER PLANTS OFF THEM EXCEPT IN VERY RARE INSTANCES
    Reread the complete Bull Shit you first wrote.
    I visit the UK frequently and unlike you I am well read on the history of steam

    So a couple of centeries is the same as 3 decades (at the most oprtimistic) Bit of a awkward lie there

    Are you going to keep digging? I’m sure you will get to the bottom of the manure heap eventually

    Dear oh dear.Australians for you “Around for centuries” is a figure of speech,implying that that something has been around for a very long time,I could have said “Around for donkeys years”,if you want to be word perfect then I should have said “Around for decades” Did you move to Aus from the UK or were you born in Aus? I was just wondering if you had been to many stately homes in the UK and seen the small farms and power houses they had?Alot of the Victorian era houses especially had boilers

  7. fizzguts says:

    “these sorts of setups have been around for centuries” WRONG and certainly WERE NOT COMMON IN PRIVATE HOUSE USE
    Generators date from the 1880’s at the very earliest same time as light bulbs started to appear. The very very very rare private steam powered generators were phased out of private use by 1910 because IC units were avaliable and much easier to manage.
    Tangents about sawmills hydro schemes and agricultural portables or stationaries do not validate what you first said

  8. silver760 says:

    As I said big private houses had steam plants for heating and light generation,I have seen them in preservation,Cragside is a good example,Armstong even had a hydroelectric set up (Yes I know it was the first house in the UK to have electric light),many of the big houses had steam engines to work their farms,they also had stationary steam or portables to drive whinowing,threshing and milling equipment.Most estate sawmills became steam driven and a few of those have survived into preservation,

  9. fizzguts says:

    In your dreams they did. Private steam was very very very rare a few of the wealthy had steam boats and that’s about all. There was a brief window between 1850 and 1900 for private steam.

  10. silver760 says:

    Nothing new,these sorts of setups have been around for centuries,before the arrival of big oil engines big private houses would have had a steam plant running a steam engine for power generation,water pumping etc

    I saw it on the ABC also. What happened to the Ford Falcon?

    So sad that Ted passed away and won’t see his dream come true

    Saw the Pritchard Steam Engine on ABC TV, Ted is a genius, good your carrying on his project
