Steam Power Unit

The above diagram shows the steam generator located centrally under the bonnet as it was set up in the 1963 Ford Falcon.

  • The V-twin engine, behind the steam generator, drives the rear wheels through the propeller shaft.
  • No gearbox is required.
  • The exhaust motor, mounted above the steam generator, drives the condenser fan and feedpumps positioned towards the front of the under-bonnet space.
  • Fuel and air are supplied to the burner by an electrically driven fuel pump and burner fan.
