Bloomfield Colliery Near Dudley 1776: ' Birmingham, March 11th. On Friday last a Steam Engine constructed upon Mr Watt's new principles, was set to work at Bloomfield Colliery, Dudley. From the first moment of it's setting to work it made about 14 or 15 strokes per minute, and emptied the engine pit (which is about 90 feet deep, and stood 57 feet high in water) in less than an hour. This engine is applied to the working of a pump 14 inches and a half diameter, which is capable of doing to the depth 300 feet, or even 360 if wanted, with one fourth of the fuel that a common engine would require to produce the fame quantity of power. The cylinder is 50 inches diameter, and the lenth of the stroke is seven feet. These engines are not worked by the pressure of the atmosphere. Their principles are very different from all others.

Bare Bottom Bob isn't a Steam Engine, ( a Steam Engine provides Steam Power ), it's an Atmospheric Pump, it provides Atmospheric Power, not Steam Power. Steam doesn't drive the Newcomen piston, Atmospheric Pressure or weight does, the weight on other end of the beam pulls the piston back up. It has to be pulled as it hangs on a chain. James Watt dumped Thomas Newcomen's Atmospheric Power and Arkwright's Water-Power for High Pressure Steam Power. To achieve that he had to invent a new engine, the world's first PRACTICAL High Pressure Steam Powered Engine. It was the first engine in human history that could replace and outperform the 2000 or more years old Water-wheel. It was the one and only invention that kicked off the Industrial Revolution.

I know if I was steam for screw ratio I would be learning this roadway

See when I see a screw I see the block way of your cold brickyard the gravity falls to release pressure weight and see some watches got a inner spin to them so you learn RPMs or water directions mixed out molecules

I am working on a video about steam engines for a museum in my area. I would like permission to use clips from this in that video. Is that a possibility and if so, how would I go about that? Thank you!

You think you got the correct alternating direction

Steam does'nt drive the Newcomen piston up and down. Atmospheric pressure pushed it down and the beam pulls it back up. Watt dumped Newcomen's atmospheric power for steam power. So he invented the world's first practical steam engine to provide steam power. His engines could also provide rotary motion, something Newcomen's pump couldn't do.
