All that knowledge hope the younger people pick up on It. If not old power.units will end up in scrap piles.Keep the knowledge flowing Alex ,thanks.

1:02 hello Alex thankyou for bringing all your knowledge to us and the way you explain everything in simple understandable way hopefully people in general will look at things a bit different and I'll finish as i started thankyou and regards 👍🍻🍻🍻🤝

This guy sounds like an NFL primetime announcer! Love the videos!

I kept scratching my head at 'field rheostat' until I saw the diagram then I got it. Also I feel like any competent person who's fired a boiler (or indeed operated literally ANYTHING) more than twice would know how it reacts under operating conditions. Like the shrink and swell of water in a boiler. That's something i only learned recently, and I'll probably forget it if and when I ever fire a boiler, but it's something I'd learn awfully quick when I'd see it happen.

I'm a volunteer on the SS Keewatin, and this video is incredibly enlightening for me (no pun intended)! I've been trying to (and successfully!) figure out the main distribution panel on the ship. One thing I've been struggling to figure out is how the dynamos operated on the ship, because although I can visually understand it, seeing it in action is a completely different beast. This video helps greatly with my understanding on the Dynamo side of things. Thank you! Also, how did you generate your Steam for this?

I wonder if I can make one of these. I might give it a shot.

[@AEKarnes]

@@AEKarnes I can see Ellenroad Mill chimney from my house here in England, UK. My grandmother worked for Ellenroad Mill. They recently had work done on the chimney, it looked like the whole thing was re-pointed.

These video bring the oldest but the only foundation of mechanical engineering to new era and don't let the manking forget, no matter young and senior, great presentation and field preparation, and most important the brave to operate and demonstration of steam power used in marine application.
