Product Information

In 1826–29, a 17.5 mm bore experimental steam cannon was developed by Colonel Karelin of the Imperial Russian Corps of Communications. The barrel was of green copper in a red copper casing; it was capable of firing cannonballs at a rate of 50 rounds per minute. Tests in 1829 failed and the gun was transferred to the arsenal of St. Petersburg. It is now in the Military Historical Museum of Artillery, Engineers and Signal Corps in St. Petersburg. One customer explained that this heavy-duty steam cleaner “saves a ton of time and scrubbing! It has all of the attachments you need from easy to tough cleaning jobs. So easy to clean the tile walls in my showers, and does a fantastic job with the small crevices around the toilets.” Gunpowder was also ancient, but it wasn't very practical. The problem is that a good cannon or gun requires strong metals and exact machining tolerances. While some steam cleaners can become hot to the touch or drip water, this Costway appliance has neither of those shortcomings. The buttons are easy to navigate and in an ideal location. For these reasons, we gave this machine top marks for usability. This steam cleaner is also powerful but quiet (another perfect rating). You can use the cleaner while having a conversation or listening to music without struggling to hear over the pressure of the steam.

Your end result would be Steam powered cannon replacing weapons like catapults and trebuchets, but with the bulk of the fighting being carried out by melee weapons. Archers would still be in demand. You could, in theory, even have gunpowder weapons at this time, but with sulfur being so hard to find they would be prohibitively expensive. Pistols would be the purview of kings. You can use the fine nozzle for toilets at the highest steam output. This will give you the best cleaning results for really dirty areas, (this also works for sinks and drains). Put vinegar on limescale areas first and then hover the steam cleaner over it. With 19 accessories, it’s obvious that this steam cleaner is designed to help you clean every nook and cranny in your home, garage, outdoor space, and car. While we wished the cleaner head with extension tubes pivoted better, it wasn't a dealbreaker for us. It's just something to be aware of if you have large areas of flooring you plan to clean at once. We hope our review of the best commercial steam cleaner has been helpful.

Other Cleaning and Tools Articles Steam obviously still has a role in warfare, nearly all nuclear-powered weapons we've ever designed used steam to carry the power from the reactor. But steam projectiles have, sadly, disappeared, ruining our plans for the SteamPunk Revolution.Special features: Has a digital display that notes temperature, pressure, and status, and goes for 90 minutes on one tank So, in the story I’m writing, there’s this country that developed big bad war machines that run on steam engines. The way they work or if they make sense or not is irrelevant. Handheld steam cleanersare great for cleaning detailed areas, like grout, ovens, and sinks. They can direct steam to these areas and are smaller in design, so they can easily be maneuvered into nooks and crannies. For that reason, though, they aren't the best option for cleaning floors and large areas of your home unless you plan on targeting specific spills. A commercial steam cleaner is one of the top cleaning tools you can own and allows you to clean almost any surface without the need for harsh, and potentially toxic or harmful chemicals. Commercial-grade steam cleaners can usually reach heats of over 300°F and have 60 pounds of force per square inch (PSI). We tested this machine on both hard surface stains and soft surface spills. On tile, the cleaner lifted a soy sauce stain in about three minutes—requiring multiple passes, a little agitation, and some excess water to be wiped up. However, the maneuverability of the mop head made up for the extra time we spent treating this stain, and we feel that the steps required of us were reasonable for the results achieved. On a similar note, we did deal with some drips from some of the attachments, too.

There are also several other small but useful design touches in this mop, like water cup storage on the handle and a small tab on each mop pad that prevents you from touching the dirt and grime. With a 12-inch-wide cleaning path and a 25-foot cord, the PowerFresh makes it as easy as possible to steam clean lots of floor space, while the swivel steering lets you easily clean around corners. The bulkier middle piece on this unit made cleaning under low-profile furniture a challenge, but it still navigates tight turns with ease. But your full question is a very different one, with a different answer. It isn't really feasible feasible for steam engines to be developed without gun-like weapons also being developed. The simple reason is that the same principles used in a steam engine can be used in a projectile weapon: a steam cannon. In fact, such a weapon is considerably simpler than a steam engine and designs of such weapons predate any usable steam engine. Media coverage of the weapon at the time managed to muddle up some details, and the weapon became associated with Ross Winans, a states-right activist and steam expert in Maryland. The public became worried that this was a super weapon and Winans could deliver it to the Confederacy. The weapon even became known as the Winans Gun. When cleaning, keep in mind that some of the attachments concentrate steam, like a steam lance or grout brush. Other attachments are made to diffuse steam to prevent over-saturation or burns. Read the instructions for your appliance ahead of cleaning to learn what attachment can be used on each surface in your home and how.Like many of us, you may be finding that things you wouldn't have imagined now need to be sterilized. Drain lines, vents, or AC units and filters—especially if you or a family member have allergies—could all do with a thorough deep-clean, and a steam cleaner is the most efficient and safe way to get this task done.
