Abstract
The electric power industry is the most important branch of the national economy focused on the production of electricity and its subsequent transmission to the consumers. However, about 20 million people live in Russia in the areas (engulfing 70% of the territory of Russia) where there is no organized or centralized electricity supply. In these areas most of the territory is covered with forests and their waste can be used as a fuel for steam-piston engines. In the present article the construction of the developed steam-piston machine as a drive for the electric generator is considered. Its difference from the known steam-piston engines is in the absence of a traditional spool-type mechanism, which contributes to a significant reduction of the production costs, to material savings, improving the reliability of the machine and the reduction of its service costs.
