Arthur Lyon & Co Ltd. was a company based in London, England founded by Arthur Anderson Lyon M.I.Mech.E. (1876–1962). Arthur Anderson Lyon was an engineer and inventor who appears in the patent records in 1911 with a portable signalling device, but by mid-1916 his inventions move from signalling lamps to electric generators and batteries.
A Half-Life 2 Steam Trading Card, depicting the G-Man. Steam Trading Cards are a digital commodity issued by Valve for use on its digital distribution service, Steam.Steam Trading Cards are a non-physical analogue of conventional trading cards, which are periodically granted to Steam users for playing games, fulfilling tasks, or by random chance.
Steam turbines would eventually replace piston engines for most power generation. 1893 (): Nikola Tesla patents a steam powered oscillating electro-mechanical generator. Tesla hoped it would become competitive with steam turbines in producing electric current but it never found use outside his laboratory experiments.

Steam is a substance containing water in the gas phase, often mixed with air and/or an aerosol of liquid water droplets. This may occur due to evaporation or due to boiling, where heat is applied until water reaches the enthalpy of vaporization.
Armstrong Hydroelectric Machine. The Armstrong effect is the physical process by which static electricity is produced by the friction of a fluid. It was first discovered in 1840 when an electrical spark resulted from water droplets being swept out by escaping steam from a boiler.
According to the company, the steam engine named Quadrum generates 27% efficiency and runs with 180 °C steam at 8 bar pressure, while a corresponding steam turbine produces just 15% efficiency, requires steam temperature of 240 °C and pressure of 40 bar. The high efficiency comes from a patented crank mechanism, that gives a smooth, pulseless ...
A compound turbine is a steam turbine in which there are two casings, a high-pressure casing and a low-pressure casing, operating in concert to extract work from a single source of steam. The steam is partially expanded in the high-pressure casing, then exhausted to the low-pressure casing.
