Realistic steam engine simulation

This model steam engine will simulate steam pressure temperature coal fuel water level and power output.

If you like steam you will love this all most every part is touch interactive from the main steam inlet valve to the resetting of the pressure release safety valve. The steam pressure will govern how fast the steam engine will rotate and how much power the engine will produce.

The boilers maximum steam pressure is 75 psi the pressure release valve will blow at 81
The boilers maximum temperature is 230 degrees Fahrenheit
The engines maximum horse power rating is 4 hp

You must have sufficient steam pressure to run the engine around 21 psi will produce 1 hp and 75 psi will produce 4 hp

You must have at lest 5 psi to run the steam whistle

So this gives you a basic idea on how this simulation works it is not just a simple animated object but a fully functional model every thing is programmed using 1 script it will run slowly if the sim is lagy or if used on a homestead.

Usage (Every thing is touch interactive)

1 Open the boiler door
2 Start the fire
3 turn on the main inlet valve (Must have at lest 21 psi to turn the engine)
4 Clicking the boiler will give you options to add more water and coal
5 If the pressure release valve blows click it to reset it.
