I share a lot of interest with the the person that created the steam powered Gameboy! I always enjoy doing things like this. I never messed around with steam engines… however, I am the proud owner of a lawn mower generator. Of course though if I one day actually make some money I would go and get my whole house hooked up on a huge back up generator! But until then… the lawn mower generator does just fine. I have about 1200 Watts which is just enough to power up my computer, modem, and various electronic accessories in such times of need. Pizza usually lasts for awhile at room temperature and running water does require power! LOL!!!
