ENGINE TEST (TITANIC)

[@ElysiaWhitemoonOmega]

smal detail, the center prop should be 3-bladed also, besides that it looks cool

[@franky5039]

Central propeller on Titanic was 3-bladed!

[@UnknownMaster-oy3fe]

Where did you get that? It looks amazing!

[@therandomytchannel4318]

They do make triple expansion steam turbines, the SS Oriana had some

[@hastings6671]

Beautiful ❤

[@hectorruffo8947]

La falla importante de los que diseñaron la maqueta es que los vástagos de las valvulas pasan sobre la pasarela de inspección , con la segura muerte de los mecánicos .

[@toponeents2569]

Nice👏🏻

[@BlackBirdNooB]

Very good

[@captainblood4678]

Центральний гвинт штовхає вперед, а лівий та правий назад. 😉

[@valandil10685]

Nice Work, however, die you notice that the outside Props are running in Reverse?

[@PrinceAnuhas]

exactly. The ship is going no where :D

[@tomtrenter3208]

The outboard shafts are turning the correct way but the props are reversed. Lots of model makers do this.

[@jamesgroccia644]

The outboard screws are on the wrong shafts

[@johndefenderfer5946]

Debbie Downer 😉

[@jamesgroccia644]

How? You can look at the blades spinning with the motor set to push forward. If they look like they’re pulling water towards the bow, you’ve got the sides mixed up. The trailing edge of the blade should point in towards the hull.

[@PR-xm1gi]

Yeah u r rig, ships not going anywhere except slightly backwards

[@PR-xm1gi]

Right*

[@KittyCircuit]

Well also the center most prop should not be able to be run in reverse, since it was a turbine with a fixed direction

[@FulvioFaraci]

Credo che l'orientamento delle pale delle eliche esterne sia errato per quel senso di rotazione

[@royeb63]

The outer propellers are going in revers, and the center one is going forward. Strange.... 🤔

[@DeveusBelkan]

I would imagine it is intentional. Digging up some research, this is how they were orientated on the Olympic, which is what many modelers rely upon because there are no known photographs of Titanic's propellers -- Olympic was used by White Star Line as a stand-in to promote Titanic and this is where we have photos of the "Titanic's" propellers. The central propeller relied upon a steam turbine, which can only spin in one direction. As you will notice, the orientation of the blades on the central propeller are in opposition to those on the wing propellers. This was probably to increase efficiency or to make up for limitations of the steam turbine.

[@torbenjansen7573]

The reason is efficiency 😂

[@Adesterr]

@@DeveusBelkan It has nothing to do with efficiency when the middle propeller produces thrust in the opposite direction of the outer 2 propellers. Not the propellers go in reverse, they are in "drive reverse" mode and the middle propeller pushes the ship forward.

[@IllBushido]

@@DeveusBelkannot intentional. The model in the video simply has the two wing propellers on opposite sides. Common people will normally not understand of a ship’s propeller works so this person made a simple mistake.

[@KittyCircuit]

All of the shafts are going in reverse

[@ScubaDiverMan711]

How do you put propellers through the ship model without water coming in?

[@tomc8157]

Probably some sort of gland seal.

[@Official_Kezzie]

This is really impressive, is this a set or is it handmade?

[@purpl83]

Set

[@NASCARCHAT24]

@@purpl83he wants the answer from the owner. Not from some random person.

[@CharlyLucky0397]

Por que una gira en sentido contrario?

[@gonzacamacho6804]

2/3 giran en sentido contrario

[@AnthonyCelata]

Awww man the thumbnail made it look like a real steam model... Why is the center prop spinning faster??

[@Sebastian-lk9xz]

It was powered by a steam turbine, not by the two main engines. Thats why that prop could not go in reverse.

[@AnthonyCelata]

@@Sebastian-lk9xz Had no idea there was a turbine on that ship. Cool!
