Steam Power is way underrated

[@akulkis]

@@randomuser4201 A 2 cylinder steam engine is much more powerful than a 4-stroke engine with the same displacement. Typically equivalent to an 8-cylinder 4-stroke, and with far, far better torque at low speeds all the way down to 0 RPM, whereas 4-stroke engines can barely operate below 1000 rpm without stalling dead, whereupon the 4-stroker immediately produces zero torque, whereas the steam engine can continue to produce torque all the way down to 0 RPM or even being forced into reverse.

I used to go to the Steam Show in Barlow Ohio as a kid back in the 70's. There were nearly a dozen different models of the Case Traction steam engines there. It was amazing to see these survivors from a by-gone era still doing the jobs they did nearly 100 years before. I remember a hay baler that was operated at the show and it produced the heaviest bales of hay or straw I've ever seen, they weighed well over 100 pounds. The steam press on the baler applied so much pressure, it actually compacted the hay into a bale that was so dense you could hardly move it. Such truly amazing machines with really intricate gearing that produced incredible amounts of torque. They got the job done. Great to see you're keeping this rare piece of America's past alive.

[@davidwoermansr]

Mc Louth KS show is a big show they have steam engines of all sizes switch off dutys on saw mills thrashers balers everything we use to go every year as I was growing up we'd haul a family friend's 2 Rumley oil pull tractors up while they hauled their show and stock pulling tractors they had a nice collection of Minneapolis Moline tractors and depending on the ones they tools they could get their 7 pulling tractors on 1 semi and 5 to 7 show tractors on the other depending on if they took a big boy or not 4 generations pulled back when they'd let dad walk beside the tractor or ride on the fender while a 10 year old could pull the sled they had a 50 ft by 20 full of antique tractors mostly M,M,s a few Farmall and Deere and an 80 by 20 of projects with a fence row of parts tractors almost a quarter mile in the back and some set along the highway right of way for yard art and they still save as many as they can I always tell my buddy the family concrete and demolition buissnes is their hobby and tractors are their job he says sounds about right he has no idea how many tractors they own but at 1 point they had almost 40 restored and for sale

Amazing steam engines! Back in 1989, fate brought me to a Siberian village remote from civilization. A very beautiful village, wooden log houses on a high ground floor made of wild stone. The entire yard is covered with a huge roof under which hay for the cows is stored. Amazingly beautiful carved frames around the windows! There, for the first time, I saw steam engines at a sawmill. In general, this village survived solely due to the forest. There is a local narrow-gauge railway around the village, which was used exclusively by steam locomotives. And on the edge of the village there were workshops in which lumber was dried and stored. Well, the heart of it all was a huge steam engine, powered by wood chips and pine branches. Driven by a long wide belt.... Nearby are pieces of rosin, which were lightly covered with the belt for better adhesion. I remembered this place for the rest of my life as a monument to a bygone era.

[@danw1955]

The amount of power being produced by this *SINGLE CYLINDER* steam engine is phenomenal!! This is the result of 180 lbs. of steam pressure acting on a double-sided 14 inch piston with a 14 inch stroke. 2 speeds forward... slow and slower! (actually about 5.7 mph. in high gear, and 2.6 mph. in low) That said, with the amount of gearing, it produces over 8000 ft. lbs. of torque at the wheels! This is the equivalent output of 8 - 2021 Dodge/Cummins turbo diesels running at full power @ 1800 rpm.!! This tractor does this at 200 rpm. at crank speed and probably with quite a bit less noise.😁👍

[@Pattyboytheking]

Thanks for the information!! Much appreciated.!!!

[@asbestosfiber]

compare that to some of the early fuel tractors at 50 or less Hp.

[@EETechs]

The 2021 Cummins has way more power. This case is only 150 HP and of course with hydraulic drive or low gearing, the 2021 Cummins wins against the steam engine in this Case tractor for pulling too. Gearing and hydraulics can change torque in the formula, power = torque*RPM. SO many people seem to forget that.

That power sounds like some instrument (music).. not anything like ROAAARRR!!! It didn't surprise if it's hydraulic driven, but at the time, gears and belts (chains too) used. Does it have just some 2 or 3 speeds? I could imagine it have backwards 2 speed and 4 to front or then it's really some oil turbine torque converter, still I can't think that option for this. Convert heats when you have something like this. Electric drivedrain and it same time do much more would be best even simplest way to made, but again, no change it would be the case in here. Because it drives so clean, this is finest what I have see ever AND it could made real job efficiency. If you don't have right to repair your own machines, this would be impossible. Nice thing it's museum quality, could function still for real jobs and not going to run away because scared what they thinking to install back of it. Those metal wheels could maybe pack the soil less than rubber ones, so wide and equality take grip. Gummy tire "rolls" because air or water inside and it could press eart more, because side of tire tracks are (not sidewalls) are shorter (r) and then middle section press soil sometimes unpleasant.

Fantastic !!! I had heard that some guys were building a 150 HP Case so it's a real treat to see it in action. Kudos to all involved but especially the video guy who shot the footage. If only my late Dad could have seen this....even if only on video. He owned a 45 HP Case and a 60 HP Case, both of which he built from the ground up. The 45 came to him a a boiler that had been used for steam heating a car dealership. He located and purchased everything else for this machine. The 60 was found in an abandoned lumber camp. The loggers had taken the wheels, transmission and steering off the poor thing and threw them in the bush. The rest of the engine was used to power a sawmill. All the components were dragged through the bush with horses and barged out by water to a road where they were loaded on various trucks. Sadly, Dad had to sell both engines before he died. The 60 went first because he dearly loved that 45 and it was sold not too long before he died. I'm sure he's seen this video in the part of Heaven reserved for steam fans. I miss you, Dad.

[@NSEasternShoreChemist]

For those of you who are asking about the torque, yes, this tractor has lots of it. Don't forget, however, that the steam engine is heavily geared down, which massively increases torque. While a steam engine does have a lot more torque at the low RPM's than a gasoline engine, the torque is not constant - it drops to near zero at the very end of each stroke and maxes out near the middle, which is why steam locomotives were prone to wheelslip. While a reciprocating gasoline/diesel engine also has the pulsing torque problem (in theory), internal combustion engines typically have multiple cylinders and run at a higher RPM than steam engines (due to being geared down a lot), which smooths them out. Most modern locomotives, whether diesel or electric, are powered by electric traction motors. An electric motor develops maximum torque at stall speed, can be overloaded for a short time, can be used for regenerative/dynamic braking, and doesn't suffer from pulsing torque. This makes it perfect for vehicular applications. If you've ever driven an electric car, you know this - the high low end torque makes for excellent acceleration and passing. From a pure mechanical-ness point of view, though, you still can't beat steam :)

[@SuperAWaC]

Steam locomotive cylinders are clocked 90 degrees apart, so... Rail adhesion is a bit more complicated than that. Give the designers some credit.

[@michaelmartinez1345]

The torque is greatly multiplied when it is geared down, Yes... There are loss's of torque because of friction in the drive-train. But the 'pulsing' torque delivery that the engine produces, in this Case, with the weight of the machine and the special dirt-digging treads that are on the driven wheels, actually improve the traction of this Mechanical Monster... The 8,000 ft-lbs. Of torque is what the twin cylinder engine produces. It would be interesting to see how much torque is sent through the drive axles of the 2 very large diameter driven wheels. It must be an amazing number...

[@SuperAWaC]

@@michaelmartinez1345 I somehow doubt it is only 8000 ft-lbs. Direct drive 20hp miniature steam locomotives put out over 12k. The 150 case has almost 8 times the horsepower and is geared way down on top of it.

[@michaelmartinez1345]

@@SuperAWaC Hmmm, are You sure the miniture steam locomotives did not put out 12k. Inch - ounces of torque? Sometimes the numbers and units of measurement that are advertised can be deceiving.... 8,000 FOOT - POUNDS of torque is a lot....That's a LOT more than many OTR truck large diesel engines can produce.... Are you familiar with the relationship of torque measurement? Do you know the standard of how horsepower is evaluated? Why do small high revving powerplants, often have very Low torque numbers, but very high H/P ratings? Study how each measurement is measured.... Also, why are several engines evaluated using Kilo-Watt ratings? That might also surprise you, as the Theoretical rating of how many watts can be produced by 1-h/p. But the ACTUAL amount of wattage (electrical power) that can be produced by 1-h/p is very different than the Theoretical number that is supposed to be produced by 1-h/p. Why? Because of inefficiencies & loss's.... There is no way to completely eliminate loss's when transferring energy.... In this case, from mechanical energy, to electrical energy.

@@michaelmartinez1345 Steam is completely different. Any steam horsepower rating multiply pretty much by 13 and that's the rough equivalent of internal combustion horsepower. That is why they have what seems like such high torque per hp
