I can remember actually seeing a Sentinel steam lorry in use. It was delivering coal in Stoneywood, Aberdeenshire at the time. I was at school so it would be about 1950 or thereabouts. A great machine and a grea plume of smoke....

Thank you for a very clear explanation of the way in which a Sentinel steam engine works. I know about steam locomotive working, but this is significantly different. I'm old enough (70) to remember steam lorries on the road - both in Littlehampton (Sussex) and in Cardiff. One I especially remember from Cardiff had something to do with road servicing machinery - the company (or was it the local authority? Cardiff Corporation?) had a steam powered road roller and a steam lorry; and I remember seeing them several times on the road between Cardiff city centre and St Mellons (old A48). You could smell them long before you could see them. Lovely!

I love steam lorries and buses. I have a framed picture on the wall above me, of central Bristol , in the 1920's. despite severe WW2 bombings, this City Centre scene is still recognisable. It shows a great bustling scene, with several horse drawn traffic, a Steam bus, and the other a steam driven commercial truck. Nice images of Ladies walking too, in their 20's fashions and Bobbed hair.

Them still building these steam wagons in the 30s might be surprising until you remember that: These were for industrial use not civilian, so the issues of it being hard to run are less important when you're already hiring two guys to run one anyway. Labor was cheap and time could be taken, especially when petrol and diesel trucks weren't that much better or cheaper. Plus the thing doesn't require a very refined fuel source, and can run on most anything that will fit in the firebox and burn. It's likely similar in concept to Turbine locomotives, which could burn stuff like Bunker C residual fuel oils. Those are oils that aren't very useful in anything but steam engines and the like, but turbines can burn it more efficiently and with much higher horsepower to weight. So running a train with an industrial turbine, even though it was a bit of a maintenance hog and guzzled fuel, made sense because the fuel it used was cheaper. So this steam truck is exchanging labor for fuel economy. The moment that ratio becomes unfavorable, though, these trucks become totally obsolete.

​@John Chrysostom Rev 3:9 I'm talking about post-gearing. Gears multiply torque, so the amount of the torque that an engine produces means nothing, because you can make as much torque as you want with gearing. HP tells you how much torque you can produce at a given rpm, so ANY 55 hp engine can match the torque output at the wheels of this vehicle, with the correct gearing.

I think any boiler able to deliver steam at the right pressure and in the right quantity would do the job. It would be a question of replacing the old boiler with one burning the appropriate fuel. Of course it would need to fit into the space available, and arrangements made to store whatever fuel is used.

Thanks for replying. Thaty ties in with an experience I had driving and firing a small loco at a colliery in Kent. The steam brake would begin strong and fade fast so it was important to make repeated applications to stop the train. The injector worked ok, but water had to be set first, then steam and then the water was backed off once the injector had picked up and was singing nicely. These were live steam injectors which I guess yours are too. It was all a bit basic but you get a strong sense of what's going on and the forces involved, which I liked a lot. It was all very 'real' and about as far away from driving a car as it's possible to be! Your steam lorry is wonderful. Thanks for preserving it for the future.@@shawnspaan895

Modern Steam cars and steam-car startup companies have 3 major improvements. Well, it's been 100 years of technological advancements. 1) Modern steam cars use liquid and gas fuel to run. Great this is that it can run any biofuel, like one from seaweed. As well as gasoline, natural gas or hydrogen. 2) They have closed cycle of water - after steam is used in engine, it is rather collected in cooler, and then re-used as water. You don't need to refill water at all. 3) Some steam startups use hybrid cars - you run on electric engines the first 2-5 minutes while engine is heating. When you get your steam - engine both runs the car and re-charging the battery. You get to run your car instantly and you still get insane amount of torque.

Two were standard. Fireman tended the boiler, driver steered and controlled it. On slower traction engines, the driver did the fire and water work, while steers man kept it going in the right direction.

A top speed of 60 mph has been claimed, but I think 45 mph would be more realistic. It has quite phenomenal acceleration though!

Essentially, steam engine torque is only limited by the ability of the cylinders to contain the pressure without exploding. So, since steam era engineers overbuilt everything, it's pretty much unlimited.

you do realize that most of the stuff that has to be done on these old vehicles is not because they run on steam but because they use technology from 100 years ago ? like all the bearings are probably friction bearings that need constant lubrication and the boiler/burner were made without any modern tech that makes them almost maintenance free (see modern heating units for houses) with todays technology you could probably build steam trucks that run on wood chips ( Co2 neutral if replanted 1:1 ), dont require much more maintenance than a diesel truck, start up quick enough, etc its probably just too risky and expensive for manufacturers to get such a thing started without any need (no more oil, extreme climate change, ...)

@@Raeffi3 Very good points, the maintenance is due to old age, not the tech itself. Just one detail: it will only be carbon neutral in the long run. Most plants and forests are not co2 sinkholes until they grow. At first they produce more co2 than they consume, and the growth time has to be taken into account

Steam rarely wins over internal combustion engines if it has to be mobile, especially if the steam engine is a reciprocating one.

@InfiniteMushroom First and foremost, the US can do without imported oil, second in an event where the production would stop for some reason, you'd have a serious security problem. And as for the steam engine not needing oil - think again. You absolutely need lubrication. If you can make lubricating oil, you can power either a hot bulb engine like in the video or a more modern mechanically injected diesel one. Wouldn't even attempt to do this with a common Rail injected one though.
