I have been a member of The Steam Automobile Club Of America (SACA) since first taking an interest in steam cars in 1979. The Club has a fantastic variety of great steam car literature for sale, listed at this website along with info on joining. They also publish a good quarterly club magazine, The Steam Automobile Bulletin, to keep members apprised of goings-on in the steam car world, and national and local steam car meets are held on a regular basis.

The new SACA website has news on SACA meets and events, links to regional SACA chapters, a links page, photos from events, and lots of other information.

The Stanley Museum
http://www.stanleymuseum.org/

Excellent quarterly magazine, great offerings in the Museum gift shop, and regular steam car events. The Museum does excellent work toward preserving the Stanley steam car heritage.

Steam Car Club Of Great Britain
http://www.steamcar.net

I have recently joined this active and interesting club, and I highly recommend a membership to anyone with a serious interest in steam cars. Their website and monthly magazine are excellent.

This is a vast and superb website, hosted by John Woodson, devoted mainly to Stanley steam cars, but also to White, Doble, and other steam automobiles. Tons of fantastic pictures of steam cars -- inside, outside, and the various parts -- and also good articles, stories, letters, links, and other info on steam cars. An unparalleled steam car research resource.

Pritchard Steam Power
http://www.pritchardpower.com

Australian engineer Ted Pritchard has been actively developing steam cars and steam power since the 1950s. His innovative modern steam cars have averaged better fuel mileage than equivalent gas cars, and he beat the current (year 2000) U.S. Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (ULEV) smog standards in 1971 ... with no special smog controls! His website is loaded with eye-opening technical information and detailed reports on his work. Highly recommended!

Karl Peterson's Website
http://firedragon.com/~kap/SteamTopics/

Karl has built quite a few steam car boilers and engines over the years. Currently he is working on a Citroen converted to run on steam. Lots of fascinating pages here to check out. He also runs the excellent "Lightsteam" e-mail list, where people interested in steam cars and other light steam technology can share ideas, get advice, and debate various approaches. More info on that at this website.

Andy Patterson's Website
http://www.greenhills.net/~apatter/steam.html

Lots of information on steam power, with essential insights into the peculiar demands of automotive steam powerplants. Also sections on the various steam cars of the past, good links page, and notes on Andy's fascinating steam Wankel, crankrod engine, variable-timing valves, boiler, and other advanced concepts.

Ned Steamgoon's Website
http://www.steamgoon.steampower.net

Interesting info on a great V-twin steam engine currently under construction, how to wind tube coils for light steam boilers, and a HUGE, fantastic links page. Ned's goal is to build a paddle-wheel steamboat, to ply the local waterways in style!

The Old Engine House
http://www.oldenginehouse.demon.co.uk/

Richard Adamek's website, featuring more lovingly-restored steam engines than you can shake a stick at, and the delightful Dodman, a whimsical steam carriage. A great place to get your dose of steam for the day. Check out the direction indicator on the front of the Dodman!

Ken's Klipboard
http://members.aol.com/KENATGM/index.html

Ken Helmick is a General Motors insider with a background in naval steam power and an interest in light steam power for boats and automobiles. Currently designing and building his own light steam system. Great links and many pictures from his vast private collection of steam car patents.

Steam Car Land Speed Record
http://www.exford.co.uk/Steam/

Intriguing British project to beat the official Steam Car Land Speed record, headed by Peter Scott. I gave some input as a member of the advisory team (see the list of team members). This project is currently on hold, but there is little doubt that the established record can be beaten, and 150-200 mph or more achieved, without exotic equipment. Interesting and attractive website.

Steam Outboard Info
http://www.reocities.com/Yosemite/Rapids/2068/SteamOB.txt

This oddball data page gives lots of info on boiler square footage, engine displacement, and other details of various steam outboard boat engines. Of interest to amateur steam designers, to show the kinds of parameters which work in light steam powerplants. Plenty of ideas for your own steam powerplant!

The Steam Automobile Club Of America (SACA)
http://www.classicar.com/clubs/steam/steam.htm

A 1997 web listing for the Steam Automobile Club of America (SACA). Doesn't seem to have been updated since then, and contact info may not be current, but has a nice article and a view of the cool SACA logo, which features the record-breaking 127 mph 1906 Stanley Racer engine.

The Mobile Steam Society
http://www.reocities.com/ResearchTriangle/Node/7373/index.h tml

Excellent and active steam car development group, home of the famous MSS steam VW Bug, a good-running modern steam car known for its many appearances at steam meets. This group is located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and closely allied with SACA. Interesting website with good links.

Steam-Driven Cars:
Cars From The Past
That would Make Ideal Cars For The Future
http://www.gis.net/~tdel/thinker/articles/jsil5b00.html

Amusing and excellent 1995 story by John Silveira about a conversation with his pedantic but informative poker buddy O.E. MacDougal. Lots of information on steam vs. gas cars, a swipe at electric cars, and strong advocacy of steam cars as the replacement for internal-combustion cars. I highly recommend reading this! This article sums up my views on steam cars exactly!
