Corliss 300hp Steam Engine

Part of a private collection located in Bend, Oregon.

300 hp and a million billion foot TONS of torque, no need for foot pounds measurement for these bad boys lol

[@pietperske3583]

A 300 hp engine would develop approximately 15,756 foot-pounds of torque at 100 rpm.

[@driftliketokyo34ftw35]

Torque is yes.

300 hp and all the torque.

I always thought you could get so much more out of these if you could cool the exhaust side enough to produce vacuum!

[@pietperske3583]

The very first steam engines were "vacuum" engines, and very inefficient. Atmospheric pressure is 1 bar or 14 psi the pressure inside the boiler of a steam engine ranges form 200 to 300 psi or 14 to 21 bar. There is no "exhaust" side. The piston has a power stroke up and down, or in and out, therefore it is a one stroke engine. Therefore it is equivalent to an eight cylinder 4 stroke engine when you measure the power strokes per rotation.

[@madderscience]

they did precisely that in some installations.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Superb old engine 👍

[@Bloodgod40]

I wonder what kind of generator you could power with this engine. Google says 300 horsepower = 220 kw, but that's an ideal conversion and not representative of real world efficiency losses. Still, you'd be able to generate waaaay more power than a domestic house would use. If you owned some forest land out in the boondocks somewhere with logging rights, you could run this continually, one tree at a time (replacing each chopped tree with a fast growing species like sitka spruce) and sell the excess to the grid.

[@BAD_CONSUMER]

Continously processing the wood is no small feat. And don't these things work on oil or coal?

[@Bloodgod40]

@@BAD_CONSUMER It's a steam engine - it will run on anything that burns. Internal combustion engines require refined, clean liquid fuel. External combustion engines just require something that can generate heat and boil the water. The only thing that's going inside the engine is the water vapor from the boiler. The fuel never comes anywhere near the interior of the engine. It just goes into the boiler. This means it can be pretty much anything, as long as it will burn.

[@kevinbrewer9421]

300hp at what? Say 250 rpms . Just in my head that's 16,000 foot lb of torque or so . Am I right? Wow assume beast!

[@SH00T_TH3PUMP]

Is that as fast as it goes?

[@bigRgurn]

No, the boiler is very much undersized for the engine, but since it is just for show, it works well. If it was in use, to provide a source of power, it would require a much larger boiler and could then produce higher RPMs if required.

[@Draxindustries1]

Enough torque to move the North Pole to the south Pole..

[@morphman21]

@@bigRgurn can it be used to provide power in today's world or no?

[@bigRgurn]

@@morphman21 it could, but with the current boiler it could not provide power to its fullest capacity without a larger boiler.

How can I get in touch with you guys, because I need a steam engine?

[@bigRgurn]

We do not sell steam engines, though if you're looking to start collecting, I would encourage you to contact your local Early Day Gas Engine and Tractor Association branch. You'll be able to network with other enthusiasts. edgeta.com/

I live in Michigan and have a 8 HP engine , how big a unit do you need?

[@joewoodchuck3824]

I love older "technology".

[@ayushsharma8804]

What do you mean "technology" it is technology.

[@keepsake327]

It is indeed technology. These engines were the power behind the industrial revolution.

[@bigRgurn]

I would encourage you to reach out to your local chapter of the Early Day Gas Engine and Tractor Association (EDGE&TA). Chances are, they have members that are interested in steam.

[@eziogonzaga7148]

[@morphman21]

Are the engines still around and running?

[@bigRgurn]

Yes, there are quite literally thousands of steam engines still in use around the world today, many still used in industry to produce goods, others in collections. This particular engine is part of a private collection and is run multiple times a year, just for entertainment. It could be put into use if an appropriate sized boiler was constructed.

@@bigRgurn wow wew waw w w www They are incredibly beautiful

[@ascasc9957]

@@bigRgurn the boiler that you have looks more than big enough. With the governor and cutoff set correctly, and the boiler around 120psi, you would absolutely be able to run her at working speed and probably drive some small machines too. And if the boiler still is too small, better/bigger safety valve then increase its working pressure.

[@bigRgurn]

@@ascasc9957 the boiler is woefully undersized for this engine, just in water capacity alone. However, the owner is content with what he has as it's what was a available.

LMAO. You are absolutely right! Kawasaki Ultra310LX 1,498 cm³ Displacement 221 kW {300 PS} / 8,000 rpm. If we put this engine through a gearbox and drop the rpm to 100 it will do exactly the same as this monstrosity.
