is there a steam boat named iron mountain?

Yes there is a steamboat named Iron Mountain. It's a big mystery in Mississippi. "The steamboat nosed into Vicksburg, Mississippi, one day late in March 1882 for supplies. Landers restocked, it resumed it's journey, soon out of sight of the usual group of dock workers and loafers. That was the last time the iron mountain was ever seen."

This past summer the wife and I took a trip to NC. Spruce Pine to be precise. We went "Rock Hounding" or "Gem Mining" at place called  Gem Mountain.\n\nhttp://www.gemmountain.com/aquamarine.htm\n\nWhile at Gem Mountain we purchased one bucket of minerals and mined at their Aquamarine mine near by.\n\nWe found some nice specimens, but one in particular stuck a nerve, The image of this Aquamarine is posted at my site, Take a look:\n\nhttp://my.opera.com/TheMineralExchange/albums/showpic.dml?album=157930&picture=2347315\n\nOk.. so after viewing the image, Aquamarine's stats are as follows:\nA) : Green-blue\nB) : White\nC) : 2.63-2.91\nD) : 7 1/2-8\nE) : Hexagonal\nF) : Imperfect\nG) : Conchoidal, Uneven, Brittle.\n\nHey Teacher?. did I pass?

There is a place called halifax in Nova Scotia. It is a town on the water I believe so it was named after that probably.\n\nBut if a place is mythical, it doesn't exist, right?

I remember seeing steam locomotives in use as a young child, \nI steered a WWII era US navy Destroyer on a full power run at 17, I am training to be a railroad brakeman and....play bluegrass and folk mandolin.\n\nI know what it is like to experience a full gale off Cape Hattaras in a destroyer.  I also worked as a deckhand on the Lower Mississippi on a towboat in 1974.\n\nMy grandparents on my mother's side had a haunted house and\nI was married in full SCUBA gear under 60 feet of water on a coral reef - in Cozumel. \n\nI also got horribly air sick after doing barrel rolls, Immelmans, Cuban 8s and wingovers in an AT-6 WWII era advanced trainer.\n\nI have no sense of direction and can get lost in my own home town.

1.) To answer how they work you would have to have the kind of steam boat it is because thier are many, here the site where it tells the ins and out of alot of steamboats (http://www.steamboats.com/) The paddles squeaked enormously and turn the wheel which forced resistance against the water thus creating movement at a rel 2.) In 1787 John Fitch made the first steam boat 3.) In America on the Deleware River

The answer may be yes or no.  The 20 HP steam engine either exhausts to atmospheric pressure (wasting the steam) or to a steam condenser (which recovers the steam for reuse and produces a much lower discharge pressure).  Onboard seagoing vessels, triple-expansion reciprocating steam engines used the lower discharge pressures produced by a condenser to extract more mechanical energy from the steam.  Almost all steam turbines onboard a ship also discharge to steam condensers to extract more energy.\n\nTo be comparable to a steam plant with a steam condenser, the "air-driven" steam engines would have to discharge into vessels maintained under partial vacuum by huge vacuum pumps.  Therefore the air and steam driven engines might produce similar amounts of mechanical power (and torque) but would likely differ because of the thermodynamic properties of air as opposed to steam.\n\nThe steam engines derive power from water heated in a boiler fired by an oil-consuming furnace.  The "air driven" steam engine would require a huge air compressor and vacuum pump to operate (but that was not your question?).\n\nAnother important consideration is that the steam is very hot and contains more energy than air at the same pressure (unless the air is also heated?).\n\nYour question is very interesting but the answer is not all that simple.  Hope this helps a little.

no. Cooled steam is distilled water

Possibly. The only metals that are ferromagnetic are iron, nickel, and cobalt. Selenium is a completely different element, so if it's pure selenium, it won't show up. \n\nHowever, the aztecs probably didn't have pure selenium - it likely contained some iron. So it would show up.

there is an engine i saw that has no moving parts. just magnets that attract water in one end and out the other, but it only works in salt water.

Check information for Industrial revolotion transportation\nlook for maritime trasportation, if you specifically know of a tranportation type such as steamships look there, canal transportation and use.\nSteam engine, rail line, canals and river, ocean shipping.\ngood luck.

For a low cost of living and residential rentals and a moderate winter and mild summer check out Iron Mountain Michigan in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. (This is considered a "Banana Belt" for the snow area as snow totals are lower)
