Mar 24, 2017 · From the Mamod forum I knew that their electric boiler used a 200 Watt heating element. Entering the bore and stroke for a typical Mamod engine, and 1000 as the desired RPM, I played with the boiler efficiency and found that my calculations showed I would need 191 Watts for a 35% efficient boiler at 1000 RPM and 20PSI steam pressure.
