A steam cannon is a cannon that launches a projectile using only heat and water, or using a ready supply of high-pressure steam from a boiler. The first steam cannon was designed by Archimedes during the Siege of Syracuse. [1] Leonardo da Vinci was also known to have designed one (see the Architonnerre). Steam guns were never used in warfare because by the time the technology was made to manufacture them in usable numbers and quality, easier-to-use gunpowder was available. But if gunpowder were not available, steam guns would have been a natural outgrowth of the much more complicated steam engine development.

The early device would consist of a large metal tube, preferably copper due to its high thermal conductivity, which would be placed in a furnace. One end of the tube would be capped and the other loaded with a projectile. Once the tube reached a high enough temperature, a small amount of water would be injected in behind the projectile. In theory, da Vinci believed the water would rapidly expand into vapour, blasting the projectile out of the front of the barrel. The small, white, box-shaped appliance includes floor, window, and triangular tools for corners, five microfiber attachments, two extension wands, and six brushes. Its pressure reaches 50 PSI, it has 50 minutes of constant steam, and includes a two-year warranty on all parts with a lifetime warranty on the boiler.

Steam cleaning is one of the most hygienic ways to sanitize your carpets, hardwood floors, windows, car, floors, appliances, and even grout to remove bacteria, mold, germs, grease, stains, and other build-ups, and even bedding and upholstery to eliminate dust mites. After using each of the steam cleaners, we analyzed the testing insights carefully to formulate our recommendations.

Its 1.6-liter stainless steel boiler tank provides plenty of hot steam for an hour straight. The steam cleaning system is compact, sure, but it’s still a heavy-duty steam cleaner when it comes to size. Aside from automobiles, the Italian-made machine is great for cleaning furniture, bedding, floors, and grout lines. It even features a CEME electronic solenoid valve, typically found on much larger commercial units, to open and close the steam flow electronically.

Versatility and usability: After navigating their features and attachments, we rated each cleaner's versatility and usability. Heron (c. 10–70 AD) takes a more practical approach, in that he gives instructions how to make one: One customer wrote, “I own a boutique and have to steam out the wrinkles in over 100 garments per shipment. Wow, what a lifesaver. I am now able to steam approximately 15 garments per hour.” If you have pets or little ones at home, ditching harmful chemical cleaners and investing in a good carpet cleaner is essential. While this isn’t necessarily a steam cleaner, it’s a worthy cleaning tool that falls in a similar category as commercial steam cleaners. Brutal realism: Act as a gunslinger protecting righteousness, or seek retribution as you face corrupt lawmen, warring tribes, cold-blooded outlaws, and ruthless renegades. Encounter legendary gunfighters such as JJ Webb. Employ a multitude of authentic weapons including: Six shooters, shotguns, Gatling guns, flaming arrows, hatchets, dynamite, and more.
