Steam Automobile Club of America


The Steam Automobile Club of America (SACA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the development, accumulation and dissemination of knowledge about small steam power systems.

The club was founded in 1957 to promote the restoration and safe use of steam-powered automobiles. Since that time its mandate has grown to become a source of information on modern light steam power, including historic automobiles, new steam autos and small steam plants for alternative energy applications.

An introduction to steam power technology, with emphasis on small systems, is online.

In addition to regional meetings in the United States, an annual meeting is held each September at the Kimmel Collection in Michigan. The meeting has a technical conference format mixed with demonstrations of steam systems and performance trials of steam cars.

The club publishes technical reports and steam system designs and plans created by club members over the years. In addition, reprints of engineering reports of small steam power projects and relevant thermodynamic analysis are also available.

A forum for technical discussions on steam power is searchable back to the year 2000.
