- Steam_car abstract "A steam car is a light car (automobile) powered by a steam engine.Steam locomotives or steam engines capable of propelling themselves along either road or rails, developed around one hundred years earlier than internal combustion engine automobiles, although their weight restricted them to agricultural and heavy haulage work on roads. The light steam car developed simultaneously with cars powered by internal combustion engines, as both engineering and road building matured. As the steam car could use the vast experience of steam engines already developed with steam locomotives, it initially had the advantage. In 1900 the steam car was broadly superior and even held absolute land speed records. By 1920 the internal combustion engine had progressed to a degree of refinement that made the steam car obsolete.Not many steam cars have been built since the 1920s, although the technology is not impractical, and projects intermittently occur to create a contemporary steam car with contemporary levels of convenience, performance and efficiency.The greatest technical challenges to the steam car have focused on its boiler. This represents much of the total mass of the vehicle, making the car heavy (an internal combustion-engined car requires no boiler), and requires careful attention from the driver, although even the cars of 1900 had considerable automation to manage this. The single largest restriction is the need to supply feedwater to the boiler. This must either be carried and frequently replenished, or the car must also be fitted with a condenser, a further weight and inconvenience.The steam car does have advantages over internal combustion-powered cars, although most of these are now less important than in the early 20th century. The engine (excluding the boiler) is smaller and lighter than an internal combustion engine. It is also better suited to the speed and torque characteristics of the axle, thus avoiding the need for the heavy and complex transmission required for an internal combustion engine. The car is also quieter, even without a silencer.".
