Steam engine puts on a good show

#promote365 we post once a day

[@shareurtube]

Damn I love those steam engines. There was some kind of power behind them in those days. Steam kicks butt.

[@BMPTtruckandtractorpulling]

Yesss

[@TestECull]

Angry Water, I like to call it. Don't fuck with Angry Water. There's a LOT of force behind it.

[@irunolds]

That is how to properly roll coal

[@rudycarlson8245]

That thing was literally spewing fire out of the stack! Talk about insane torque!

[@Ragtop_Jalopy]

That thing is the attraction of the show! Just look at all those sparks shooting into the night sky!!! Now, that is pretty darn impressive!!!

[@BMPTtruckandtractorpulling]

womp womp

[@biscuitninja]

10hp.... 2000ft-lbs of torque...

[@BMPTtruckandtractorpulling]

💪🔥

[@joshjlmgproductions3313]

For 10 horsepower to equal 2000 lb-ft, the engine would have to make 10 HP at 25 RPM.

[@LordHyren]

low gearing, 10hp crank but >2000ft*lb at wheel@@joshjlmgproductions3313

[@johnwilson849]

Beautiful pull!

[@nedlyest]

That thing will pull the sled with full brakes.

[@BMPTtruckandtractorpulling]

you aint stopping this

[@roweinnovation]

Good sled operator moving the box back and forth.

[@jayhorst1546]

Nice catch.

[@klousy58]

He's taking the sled home

[@BMPTtruckandtractorpulling]

all the way

[@Wreckedftfoxy]

steam engines have better power than a diesel

[@BMPTtruckandtractorpulling]

awesome

[@TestECull]

That thing could pull yesterday into tomorrow!

[@BMPTtruckandtractorpulling]

heck yeah

[@nickcook7408]

The amount of time taken for the power stroke to occur is insanely long compared to any conventional ice. The ability of steam to continue to expand throughout the power stroke is insane compared to any hydrocarbon/oxygen mixture in a combustion chamber. The gearing is so short it’s almost going backward! This means that torque is not measured in pounds feet, but in tons miles.

[@BMPTtruckandtractorpulling]

thanks for commenting

[@TestECull]

With cutoff set to 0 that thing sees full boiler pressure for the entire stroke. The louder it chuffs the less cutoff is in play. Inefficient, but powerful. It has two power strokes per cylinder per revolution, as it's a double acting engine. And if it's a twin cylinder with the crankpins phased 90º apart it cannot stall out because there is ALWAYS a power stroke in play. These things just don't know what it means to run out of torque.

[@keltonwright7]

Should hook the case 150 to the sled or maybe 2 too see if they could stop it.

[@wmden1]

I would like to see that, in an unlimited bracket. I'm not even sure they use a sled that would be heavy enough to stop it. There is a video on youtube of it pulling a 44 bottom breaking plow, to the beams, in well compacted soil, like it was nothing.

[@markchapman2585]

450 RPM thats crazy. It will pull a building down.

[@DrahcirSmada]

Slow and steady wins the race 😊

[@BMPTtruckandtractorpulling]

yes it does

[@californigirl]

It was kinda like watching Big Red run the Belmont. WOOOOOOOT WOOOT!

[@BMPTtruckandtractorpulling]

Wooooot woot

[@danielferstendig]

Omg it's trevor

[@BMPTtruckandtractorpulling]

Omg

[@peterburns2709]

Real power

[@geraldwagner8739]

Full pull 👍

[@BMPTtruckandtractorpulling]

yessir

[@user-rr4bg5qr7l]

Putting that much stress on a 100 year old relic is not to smart.

[@BMPTtruckandtractorpulling]

Thanks for watching

[@exoticspeedefy7916]

KABOOM

[@CVTFK7]

not the first time this units been ran through the sled pull. think ive seen 5 videos alike with different time stamps. safe to say shes still runnin stronger than most american diesals

[@scotanderson7689]

It is not that old. It was hand-made a few years back using the original plans from Cace.
