The power of a beam Engine is limited by the DIameter that can be given to the Piston: that of a Flash Pump has ni limitation. Steam can not act but in proportion as it is compressed and ??ted from weaping confined. The pressure is between the surface of the water and the bottom of the piston. Do what you will with the steam, it can not act but in proportion as it applies itself to an obstacle. No power will therefore be limited by the diameter that can cou?inually be given to the channel and by the weight of other power if resistance that can be given to the obstacle
