Steam engine for house generator? for 2000 watts of electric consumtion

for 2000 watts of electric consumtion
Answers:    2,000 watts isn't much power... it's barely satisfactory to be able to run a single wall outlet...

But if you're looking for a non-combustion engine generator, I'd suggest you not look for steam, to some extent look for a generator which runs off of a Stirling warmness engine.

Good place to start looking. They have small and huge CHP generation unit.
Yes, you could turn a generator with a steam engine, or better but, a steam turbine. What are you going to use to heat the dampen?
