Ocaleb Portable Handheld Steam Cleaner 11 in 1 Steamer Mini Steam Gun Multipurpose for Removing Stain Cleaning Bathroom, Kitchen, Floors, Car, Upholstery, Window and Tiles

Product Information

While the Vapamore commercial units are well-known for their commercial steam cleaning capabilities, the smaller Vapamore MR-100 is perfect for squeezing into smaller spaces that still need heavy cleaning, such as cars. Even if the massive Vapamore MR-1000 commercial steam cleaning system is already in your collection of cleaning appliances, the smaller model is great to have on hand for other uses.

But the worst shortcoming of the weapon was the actual speed of the rounds when they left the barrel. The centrifugal force couldn't generate nearly the velocity that a chemically propelled or even steam-pressured round enjoyed. In fact, the Mythbusters built one and tested it, and they couldn't get the rounds to pierce a pig at just a few feet. Not all steam cleaners are recommended for use on the carpet, due to the available settings or attachments for the appliance. If you struggle with stains on your carpet or rugs, a steam cleaner offers a way to remove them with just the power of water. The Dupray NEAT Steam Cleaner has what it takes to clean carpets, rugs, upholstery, and more.Sanitizing tile and cleaning grout lines can seem like a chore, but the Pure Enrichment Multipurpose Steam Cleaner offers an easier way to enjoy fresh floors. Of all the steam cleaners we tested, this model has one of the largest water tanks (it holds almost 61 ounces of water), making it perfect for cleaning many square feet of tile flooring. It also features oversized wheels so it can easily roll behind you on your cleaning conquest, in addition to a handle for better grip when going up and down stairs in your home. In our tests, it earned a perfect score for portability and also for the simple setup process, which took just under eight minutes. Accessories: 17 accessories, including window tool, extension tool, nylon brushes, and microfiber pads A successful World War II steam cannon was the Holman Projector, which was used to launch explosive Mills bombs into the air to create a defensive barrage against low-flying enemy aircraft. [2] These later steam cannons were fired by rapidly introducing a burst of highly pressurized steam into the chamber behind the projectile, accelerating the projectile up the barrel to a high speed, much like an air gun, only more powerful. The fundamental function of the device was basically the same as a steam engine, only with a projectile taking place of a piston. The Holman Projector was produced by Holman Brothers of Cornwall, who specialised in pneumatic equipment for mining. The first Projectors were powered by compressed air, stored in high pressure cylinders. After a successful defence of the SS Highlander in August 1940, downing two Heinkel floatplanes, there was a demand for more projectors to be fitted to small naval trawlers. [3] Since these vessels were steam-powered but had no compressed air system, the Admiralty requested Holmans to develop a steam-powered version of the Projector. There were concerns by Treve Holman over the effects of heat on the Mills bomb projectile. A test was arranged, where a borrowed council steam roller was used to 'cook' the Projector and projectile, at 190°C for 20 minutes before the projectile was safely fired to 1,000 feet altitude.

Historically, steam powered guns worked similarly to a conventional rifle, but instead of relying on gunpowder exploding to create high pressure and propel the bullet out of the barrel, they featured a chamber filled with water that would be heated into steam. Various unsuccessful efforts were made during the age of steam to create working steam machine guns and cannons using methods and technology derived from steam locomotives.Deciding on which steam cleaner to invest in depends on exactly what you’re going to clean, and how long the task will take. For household use or a small cleaning business, a machine that reaches temperatures of 200°F is suitable. Now, I need for the sake of logic that the aforementioned big bad war machine bearing country still uses sword, shield and pike infantry and heavy cavalry. Or to be clearer, I need a country that has steam engine technology to not have discovered gunpowder yet.

Special features: Though it’s corded, it is a handheld steam cleaning tool and is easy to maneuver and carry. It can go from extended cleaning to up-close detail work. Think about what will work for your individual home, lifestyle, and upcoming messes. "Look for a steam cleaner that is best suited to the job at hand," suggests Kathy Cohoon, Operations Managerat Two Maids & A Mop. "Cleaning lots of carpeted spaces? Find one that has a big water tank. Just steam cleaning a couch every year or so? Look for a more compact model that won’t take up too much storage space."

You work at BID, what a legend.

Currently our power generation--from coal to nuclear--all rely heavily on steam technology, it's still THE primary method to convert heat to movement (Wind is the other big one I can think of right now). It might just turn out that there are undiscovered steam solutions to some of our existing problem that are better than our current solutions but we never found them because a portable heat source was harder to deal with than electricity/explosive force. I did my research. According to source, gunpowder was first used in the military by China in 1126, while the first steam engine used to actually move a big vehicle (locomotive) was only applied in 1804 ( source). That’s 678 years. Is that plausible that a civilization based on our own would not discover something that important for more than 500 years? Can I have a plausible excuse? When we tested the Dupray NEAT Steam Cleaner at home, we found it easy to operate and use right away. After filling the 40-ounce tank, a glowing icon on the front of the cube turned orange, providing a visual notification that the boiler inside is hard at work. In all actuality, it takes about eight minutes to heat the water, which is one minute longer than advertised but isn’t a dealbreaker.
