Cool! "Back Left – This engine is a paraffin engine that worked like a conventional steam engine, except instead of boiling water, it boiled paraffin. This is akin to boiling gasoline. It would flash to steam faster & provide more power, just before it exploded & set everything in the boat on fire. In spite of this drawback, it was a very popular mode of power until the invention of the internal combustion engine. This was chiefly used in small launches in the 1890s. Center – This is a steam powered torpedo launcher for a future torpedo boat project that I'm currently working on. Right – This is a four barrel rocket launcher, strictly imaginary, it will also be incorporated into a future piece."
