Steam, or water vapor, operates a piston or turbine by the fall in its temperature. The higher the vapor is heated, the greater the pressure which must be controlled and the work the steam can do. Engineer Emmet sought a material whose vapor could carry great quantities of heat at relatively low pressures. He found mercury the best. It boils at 675° F., instead of at 212° F. for water. At 884° F. pressure is only 70 lbs. on a gauge, at 1,000° F. only 180 lbs. Those pressures are sufficient to run turbines. After...
