Lynx steam engines has refined its focus to small scale 1-5 hp stationary steam engines utilizing monotube or flash power generators. Uni-flow, counter-flow, bash valve and diaphram engines are all in parallel development. Fuels such as bio-mass, wood pellets, ethanol, bio-diesel (vegetable oil) are all good candidates for the technology.
