Ho ho ho, you've just been torchafied.

did you make a build video?

Great video Joel! Just discovered this side channel.

Impressive!

Thank you for posting this video 🎉. You have a new subscriber. Keep up the great 👍 work..

Sorry that this channel never took off!

Supercritical steam is awesome

160 Bar is about 2300psi 😳

The biggest heavy frame industrial gas turbines that Siemens come in at over 500 MW and weight over 500 tonnes. The waste heat coming out the back of those goes through a heat recovery steam generator that creates steam which is then put through one of the steam turbines in this video. The so called combined cycle gas turbine power plant is a gas turbine, a heat recovery steam generator and a steam turbine running in combination and have very high heat efficiencies.

How does it possible expanding steam lower than the environmental pressure (vacuum)?

Please send some steam turbines to South Africa, we desperately need more power

not so big, we ran 660 Mw units

Really cool to see

KZbin recomended this video after the engineerguy video about turbine invention. :D

Nerd-up…. These turbines are so heavy that they need to be continuously spun, even slowly, when warm. The rotor is more malleable at higher temperatures, and is susceptible to imbalances.

The Navy Destroyers I served on had the high-pressure and low-pressure steam turbines separate with the main steam entering in at 1200 psi at 975°F, exhausting out through a very large crossover pipe to the low-pressure turbine, then out the bottom to the saltwater condenser to be returned to water, and continue the cycle. Incredible machines….

Are the blades replaceable, as they are in jet engine turbines? Also! What is the change in blade angle and spacing (rotor and stator) from beginning to end?

Turban? Speak proper English! Where I worked , we made tur-BINES

And these are the tiny ones. We worked on 1000MW+ too along with similar Westinghouse legacy.

Speed of sound WHERE? In air At normal temp and pressure? Or the local speed of sound inside the turbine which is steam at high temperature and pressure... Which is it?

the Siemens rep should have explained each rotating blade sliver is sandwiched between a static blade unit ... these turbines have dozens of these pairs ... the steam escapes through each sliver ... the rotating section forces steam up followed by its static blade forcing steam direction down ... this tension powers the rotation

What makes it more cool is the fact that the central shaft is made from a 100 tonne single piece of forged steel that was once red hot and squeezed in a hydraulic press into shape.

Never would have expected 160 bar. Clearance between the stator and rotor is tight, even for the smaller sections. I have a feeling there is a specific start procedure that allows thermal normalization prior to rotation.

60-Ton turbin. Wow.

That gentleman says "correct" in a very wholesome way.

I wonder, these main propulsion cannot be run by WASTE HEAT of lower than 250 °C of low pressure steam but they(turbine) need at least Main Source of 350°C, medium to high pressure steam to provide the power for 100,000- 300,000 people (250 MW).

i knew this guy was an idiot fromthe wake he talks but when i see atmospheric pressure at sea level explained to someeone who is supposed to be unbamilliar with it as a thousand millibars instead of one bar is just...

German engineering at its best

I have always wondered how these giant turbines work. Now, thanks to you I know some. Just some of it. Wish I can see more.

Is there an advantage to not having compound turbines?

Do they have a hydrogen steam energy yet? More important, where can we learn how to repair and operate one?

Here we operate 800MW turbines and Main Steam pressure is above 300kg/cm^2

I worked in an industrial steam turbine factory of Siemens partner in China for 12 years. I like the art-of-the-state Siemens- designed steam turbine products so much. The job experience there shaped me a lot and benefited my later job. Simens is great!

I have the same type of bags from esun and still airtight for months with humidity indicators inside showing 10% or so.

Did anyone ever comment blow job for the name...

250Mw no es tanto, montones de centrales en España han tenido turbinas para generar 350Mw y si nos vamos a Manjung IV en Malasia, hay dos turbinas de vapor que mueven generadores de 1000Mw...

I want my 4 minutes back !! 😂

If you do another review of black belts, don't wear a black shirt.

Bravo! Excellent video!

I wonder what is the volume of steam needed to run it 24 hours?

Görlitz :)

Winning 👏

Can they make hydrogen steam turbines ?

That right there is a guy who enjoys his job! Im sure his kids are mini turbine engineers from all the free knowledge.

Loved it... where is the sequel man!

250 kWt for 60 kg turbine... interesting

Great Video Shes Good

*"1 megawatt is the equivalent of 10 car engines."* that's actually very helpful for my mind to understand the equivalent power ratio and output. great videos. *kids, listen...learn science, technology, engineering and mathematics.* you'll have nice things, and that affords a more comfortable lifestyle. (And a better quality wife or husband. it's simple, not complicated.) ☀️😎🇺🇸☀️

What brand of TV is behind you on the set

Very impressive
