For those interested in knowing a little more about the science behind this, I'll explain a bit about the torque of a steam engine. Steam engines and a DC electric motor are the only two power sources that have 100% torque output at 0 RPM. For a steam engine, this is because the piston is pushed by steam, which is an expansive power source. When the engine is idling at about 250 RPM, the governor that controls the flow of steam to the engine is not very far open, and the steam in the cylinders are not using a lot of the expansive force of steam, as it is in and out of the cylinder so fast. As a load is aplied to the engine, the RPMs will fall off slightly and the governor will open up, supplying the cylinder with more steam. Eventually, the RPMs will fall enough to a point that the governor is just wide open, allowing 100% flow to the engine. This point would be the maximum horsepower point of the engine. This engine was rated from the factory as 110 HP at around 250 RPM. At that RPM range, it can put out around 3,000 lb/ft of torque. From that point on, as the load is increased, the engine RPMs will start to drop off, using the longer time in the cylinder to get more expansive force out of the steam. This leads to the horsepower dropping off, but the torque continuing to increase. The engine will continue to make less horsepower and more torque until it gets down to 0 RPM. At that point, the steam in the cylinder is applying maximum expansive force on the face of the piston. In other words words, 100% potential torque, but no horsepower, as horsepower is dependent upon a motion variable. I hope that makes sense. I tried to keep it all as simple as I could.

[@chris-earldookie5014]

Torque= hp x 5252 ÷ rpm So for zero rpm 577,720 foot pounds before the gearbox.

Chris-earl Dookie WHAT? Holy mother of god!

[@hunterprowsemrereviews9141]

Basically a steam engine is 100% efficient, unlike every other internal combustion engine that came after it. They were called road locomotives for a reason, they were phased out because 1 they were too powerful to be off of rails, as described by an engineer in the 1870’s, and 2 they were so efficient that hardly any cost would run them. and 3 they were so cumbersome, and required so much maintenance to keep them operating. Then you always have the risk of boiler explosions, and it’s not an easy thing to operate. Using these to farm with was hard to do, not just anyone could run them, and you had to have two people at all times to run it one running the engine and one to keep the fire in the burn box going. They ran on either coal or wood. They ran the best on coal cause it burns the hottest but in a pinch it’ll run on wood at a reduced power level. Nowadays coal is so expensive and harder to come by they run them on wood. Nowadays you also have to have a boiler license, and they have to be inspected annually.

I suspect the max torque could be much higher than 600,000 ftlbs just before the boiler explodes and the 250 rpm is top speed, lol.

One of those was a vehicle used to tow tanks and other heavy equipment. Ona Saturday night, when the heaviest class of farm tractor pulled, 15,000 lbs, the Army wanted to show off. With the sled still loaded and geared for those 15,000 lb tractors, the tow vehicle was hooked up to it.

My uncle drove a traction engine in the late 1800's. When I was seven , he then eighty-five, described how he and 22 other drivers and engines each towed an eleven furrow plough side by side, day after day to create New Zealand's Canterbury plains. They had to arise at 4:00a.m. and stoke the boilers, then have breakfast while the engines built up enough steam to begin the day's work. After days and days of ploughing the crossed the plains and then turned around and ploughed side by side back again. Over and over until the job was done. His name was Fred Carter.

Much smaller steam engines could run an entire factory on one large leather belt turning a long steel shaft that would power other belts for each machine.

Now imagine a smaller steam engine than this mobile one running a shaft connected to 10 machines with hand activated levers (like a clutch in a manual car) to activate any machine you can imagine!
