The most dominant feature of the Lion is the dorsally mounted Whitney-Lloyd Solar Boiler mechanism. Positioned exactly amidships upon a mechanical pivot, it consists of a water-filled boiler system and a large reflecting dish mirror and focusing device mounted at opposing ends of a large girder which itself is attached to the hull at the midpoint (both of the girder and of the hull) by a sturdy mechanical pivot. By means of this pivot, the entire mechanism can thusly be turned and angled while in flight to point the mirrors reflecting/focusing system towards the sun. The mirror itself reflects and concentrates the solar rays upon the boiler system, bringing the water to a boil, which then recirculates the resultant steam to the engine room, where it is used to generate electricity to run the ether propeller, charge the batteries, illuminate the vessel; the water itself circulates throughout the ship through the enclosed system and is forced through a steam-heating system to help heat the interior of the vessel, finally recirculating through the exterior intercoolers before returning in liquid form back to the solar boiler to begin the process again. | The most dominant feature of the Lion is the dorsally mounted Whitney-Lloyd Solar Boiler mechanism.
