1894 Steam Engine Startup & Run

[@MrBanzoid]

What a beautiful machine. The intricate dance of all the parts moving in synchronism is almost magical.

[@HitTheMat]

10 years later, still coming back to hear this rhythm. Amazing how fast it runs!

[@nodrogawson963]

Nice engine, a credit to the Victorian engineer and the people who look after it now.That's the fastest I've ever seen one run, good job governors were working OK. Thanks for sharing.

[@mukhopadhyayananda]

I have heard only the rattling noise produced from the various moving part of the Engine. Old is really Gold!

[@timmayer8723]

Truly a mechanical work of art and 211years old. Meticulous care and attention to detail shows throughout this video. Excellent.

[@cple1]

It would be 123 years old.

[@anubiswerelupe]

What a wondrous sound. This huge mechanical beast, you can just hear and feel its heart beat.

[@jameswest8280]

This is a compound corliss engine, very efficient. The barring engine makes for a much less laborious startup.

[@tobybrown1179]

That engine is going to out live us all, very nice indeed

[@newenglandwirelesssteammus4167]

What a beautiful engine! We love the elegance of that valve gear!

[@moschettiflavio3635]

AHHHH this is absolutely incredible!

[@paullindsay1622]

I'm amazed at how quiet this ancient beast is. I bet the entire building pulsates in a majestic tempo.

[@ronwilken5219]

Probably not. it's so well balanced that you'd hardly notice it's running. F I wasn't it'd"walk out the door".

[@thomastsangthomas1616]

Nice classic steam engine from the 1894! It can hit 500HP, and I supposed the giant flywheel can turn at about 62 rpm.

[@macrumpton]

Beautiful and terrifying to think of the power stored in that flywheel.

[@fluffymacaw933]

@M. Abrar Arnedd United Kingdom

[@FrontSideBus]

What a fantastic bit of precision engineering! Just look at all the valve gear, still working perfectly after a century or so :) I'm surprised there wasn't a few coins balanced on too of it somewhere to demonstrate how smooth it operates!

[@keithmcintyre588]

I have balanced coins on the intercooler housing of Ingersoll Rand class XLE reciprocating air compressors driven by synchronous motors more than a few times, these units were 600 hp 28’’low pressure piston and 16’’ high pressure piston with a 10’’ stroke and very smooth running 😊.

[@rcpilot1565]

What an absolute masterpiece. So gorgeous!

[@ohforjupiterssake]

Thank you ever so much for sharing the video of such wonderful machine, beautiful music it makes!

[@sfenodonte]

Fantastic, wonderful machine, the wonderful thing is that it works, it's not a static object just dusted and alive, producing electricity. The ROYCE generator was also great, I remembered something in his biography but I didn't think it was his. Dynamic museums only in UK .......

[@paullindsay1622]

Whoo_Hoo! What a great rhythm it produces. I would love to be there in person and feel the floor as it comes to operating speed. And this is one of the better reasons YT exist. Thank you for posting this video!

[@Mechknight73]

This one's putting out a nicer rhythm than some techno music lol

[@TheEmeraldMenOfficial]

The engine room crew musta been grooving the whole work day...

[@covvie]

Cool. Double expansion. Whoever did the videography did a great job covering all the mechanics. I enjoyed watching the valve gear. Wonder what fired the boilers? I imagine coal, but when this was built, there may have been access to oil. In any case, fine video; fine subject. Kind of amazed I'm just seeing it 4.5 years after it was uploaded.

[@ascasc9957]

They have 2 Lancashire boilers on site that burn coal. Its very rare to see English engines being ran by oil fired boilers, excluding modern ones.

[@DawidGabriel]

Just found out about this engine and I'm absolutely amazed by the speed I see it running! Here in Portugal I have seen two big stationary steam engines turning - but only on fumes. Only the 125 hp corliss at the "Sociedade Africana da Polvora" runs this nicely and at similar speed - although it sure can not compare to this beauty in scale and majesty. Nonetheless our "Joseph Farcot" has a curious design where the steam connects to a fountain in the exterior, making the beginning and the end of working hours be not only heard by the whistle, but also seen by nice jets of water!

[@SteamCrane]

The video didn't clearly show the trip part of the Corliss valve gear, camera was moving too fast past it. You have to stop and watch the valves to understand how it works. That is the clicking you hear, the operating lever pulls the steam valve open, then the follower on the valve stem trips and allows the valve to quickly close to save steam. Unusual to see a big Corliss running at full speed!

[@3RTracing]

Like the Tornado, and other fine English Steam Locomotives, these chaps with the stationaries here and at Ellenroad really know how to let these absolutely wonderful, graceful and might engines run. No silly idle speed, the Brits really show off their steam and i love it. It is so great to see these old girls run at appropriate, to class RPM. These engines ran fast like that for days and weeks without a break, and they still run strong and powerful. I come for a long line of railroad builders who put railroads all over Central and South American. That family side is Scottish. I live in WA State USA.

[@steamgent4592]

I remember this engine in one of Fred Dibnahs shows its beautiful!

[@qaisurrehman7106]

Rewinding it maybe a 24th time just to hear that amazing rhythm

[@zodiotekgaming]

Now that's torque :3

[@markyboi79]

A thing of beauty and a joy forever!

[@DarqeDestroyer]

I've seen a bunch of large Corliss engines on youtube, but this is the only one that I've seen actually being brought to full speed. All the others are run at a dead slow idle.

[@qaisurrehman7106]

magnificent work of engineering love it

[@IronHearts007]

Wonderful Steam Engine .Great Video

[@LandAnchor]

I personally didn’t find the person talking a bother at all. A very interesting, rhythmical machine that captivates the imagination of the child in all of us.

[@F-Man]

We seriously need to look into reviving technology like this. Sure, these engines are big, heavy, and high maintenance, but just listen to how smoothly and, surprisingly, quietly it runs! With modern technology, it may now be possible to make steam engines 100% resource neutral, if we could generate heat with renewable fuels. The exhaust steam could be then recaptured and condensed back into water, which could then be used to run the engine, or for other applications. Makes one wonder.

[@forrest225]

Steam power is still used extensively. All coal, natural gas, and nuclear plants use steam turbines to drive generators. They typically operate as closed systems constantly recycling the water they use.

[@MrBewie]

These piston driven steam engines are wonderful, but they are hopelessly inefficient. When the steam turbine came, all these fantastic machines became obsolete. We even still to this day use steam turbines as already mentioned by other people here.

[@linkshutdowm]

Ferrariman601 the Titanic's steam engine and boilers returned the steam to water, but you do have a good idea going.

[@haroldpearson6025]

forrest225 Up to 2000hp a reciprocating steam engine is better for these sort of applications, pumping and locomotives etc. As for maintenance I think they were less trouble than with modern technology. A 1950s locomotive would go 130,000 miles between services. Many ended their days having done over a million miles.

[@charliejeans2413]

@@MrBewie or so they say, melosco super heaters 1940. 950° at the start 950° at the finish process, dtry steam 22% more efficient than wet steam, steam is 77% efficient. Steam engines run 500,000 mikes in ships and still have many 100.000 mikes l3ft in them before they ate resleeved, Less moving parts means less matinanace. A single turbine has no matinanace. Only the boiler is Dr calc with gycosphate, the same gycosphate Monsanto spray on crops and has patented as an antibiotic, because it kills all bacteria except samonilia. You have been sold the petrol lie, vs "it's too expensive to heat water not true in fact it's the very opposite.

[@simonpenny2564]

"a very annoying woman talked all the way through" and the camera person didn't know what they were looking at, so every time you think the camera is coming in for a detail shot, it just slides away. Quit frustrating. The engine, btw, is a Corliss valve type, this is what all the mechanisms after 7.00 are.

[@marianbuduroi6463]

thank you so much, i really wanted to know what type of engine is 😊

[@syhooverman5418]

I dont mean to trivialise this FANTASTIC piece of engineering but it sounds a bit like my agitator washing machine. Pity we dont get clearer closeups of the volt and current meters. Great post though.

[@engineslovetostartmatthew]

_Diese wunderschöne Dampfmaschine ist mit all ihrer Mechanik wie ein lebendiges Wesen. Das sieht man an der tanzenden Mechanik ab __7:03__._ 🥰 This beautiful steam engine is like a living being with all its mechanics. You can see this in the dancing mechanics from 7:03. 🥰

[@3RTracing]

Another thing find fascinating about this engine is the valve timing. It is very short and highly efficient. No wasted steam pressure here. What is the working pressure of this engine?

[@ascasc9957]

In the day they would have run a lot higher, I would guess around the 150-180 psi mark. Now they run at around 50-60 as the engine isn't under much load and the boilers are very large for the engine that they provide the steam for.

sadly the museum is closed down now and future is uncertain I expect it will be left till the bits get stolen and then scrapped

[@willhall3440]

Yeah hopefully it won't come to that. I think the building is still maintained by the council but I don't think the engine will run again. It's quite sad really.

[@organbuilder272]

+John wood - Why is it closed down. Is this not a historic building set up in a preservation trust? Have the volunteers who preserved, rebuilt and tun this thing all gone away. Are there no new people who can see the beauty and functionality of this machine take over and continue the operation? Shame on you British for letting this happen. It is the same tragic tale of the complete eradication of Fred Dibnahs, house, contents, his steam powered machine shop,, machine tools his workshop and all his hand tools, gauges and fitting. Everything wiped out, including the mine headgear he built to demonstrate how the English mines operated. All gone for nothing more than pure greed/ A curse on you all who can not take care of what your Grandfathers have handed down to you. You have all these wealthy jolly-boys riding around in their expensive cars. Have them put a trust fund together to preserve these heritage sites.. You certainly raise enough fuss about old building that are nothing more than broken down stone walls. You can't save what is left of a functional cloth mill. Shame on you all., weal, modern day wimps who care for nothing but yourself and your material existence. You folks on this site - Rise up. Make a fuss. Do something. Don't wait for others to do it for you. No one will. Don't let this incredible machine 200 years old??? Look at it. Flawless quiet operation. Please, those of you who care. Do a Gofund and get rid of the "Council" which is obviously useless and take care of this thing. It has a name. All English steam machines did.

Wow thanks for the upload. Talk about the heart beat of the mill. I would have loved to see the looms weaving as well. So much has been lost in the profit driven "new era" this machine maintained will run for generations to come. can you say the same for the crap that is produced today at inflated prices

[@timmayer8723]

First world countries thrive on the principle of obsolescence. Every thing produced by the USA is built to be scrapped instead of repaired and reused.

[@timmayer8723]

Electric motors also have the ability to run for years with almost no maintenance. Battery powered electric motors of enormous size will be market ready in under ten years. Traction motors used to drive diesel electric locomotives have tremendous torque and can move millions of pounds of freight cars.

[@dumbdumb8455]

I would assume that the engine used to run the looms as well as the generator? No way that big engine is needed to turn just that tiny generator.

[@reecenewton3097]

Yes. The textile mill is no more, so the engine only runs the generator as part of the demonstration.

Just because you push stereotypes on to groups of people doesn't mean they're all the same. I have a friend from other religions and she's amazing at engineering.

Before the TITANIC could be 'rebuilt as an evening cruiser it would need to be retrieved from 10,000 feet of freezing cold Atlantic Ocean water. Used cruise ships can be had for as little as a few million dollars. Harbor cruisers could be had for a million or so.

Your whole body wouldn't stop that flywheel, the amount of power on that flywheel wouldn't just hurt, for if you did get caught in there it would more than likely rip your arm off.
