cool video--reminds me of a story my brother told me when he was an engineer on an old ship in the Caribbean---the boilers were all fuel oil fired but everything was driven by steam--the fuel pumps,circulatory,regulators,burners,etc so when the boilers went down and after 2 days adrift without power they decided to do something--they gathered every bit of wood furniture aboard and built a fire in a boiler, got pressure up on steam and had one shot to get everything going --and it worked!!

I could listen to that triple expansion steamer engine run all day. Neat stuff.
