-------------
 Don't underestimate steam power. Steam engines produce tremendous torque, compared to internal combustion engines, including deisels. Also, unlike an internal combustion engine, a steam engine procuces maximum torque from the time the throttle is opened. A 20 horsepower Stanley Steam Automobile produced 640 ft. lbs. of torque. A Doble Steam automobile produced 2,200 ft. lbs. of torque. Remember, they powered ocean liners with steam engines, and still do in some cases.
