I know :-) I'm glad you liked it. I was going to re=issue the original vid but without the music...but I couldn't find it. I have all the original files, so I did a re-mix, as it were - engine only. Thanks for the sub! Cheers, M
This video is perfect. Love the visuals and the sounds. Cheers! PS. I wonder if any engineer today could draw up plans for something similar without the use of a computer. It's absolutely stunning what they were able to achieve back then.
Hey thanks... I guess you are one of the few people, who don't like the music, then follow the prompts in the original video! Thanks for watching and your kind comment :-) Cheers, M
Thank you for redoing this with the natural sounds. I love being able to watch a part work for an extended period of time, until I can figure out what it's doing and how!
@@somitomi those are the valve gear linkages, operating the steam inlet valves at both ends of the cylinders, pushing the piston back and forth. It's an extremely over engineered engine, and the video is more of an art video than trying to show enough to be able to reverse engineer it, so I understand your frustration lol But if you look up how valve gear works, you will understand what's being done, even if identifying what each individual part is doing isn't possible from this video.
I have to say I like the natural sounds of the engine better. I noticed you didn't include the power transmission and the looms on this version. :( Thank you for posting this though!
In large engines like these the steam goes to condensers and the condensed water goes to the boiler a bit warmer in smaller single cylinders outside the mill
I just heard from one of the engine men that the chimney needs a lot of work and the museum is temporarily closed. There is a friend's group trying to raise money to do the necessary work.
seen one similar to this at the national mining museum Scotland but it had been reverted tae electric power for show. wid love tae see the original steam power
Over here in the US we have the Wireless and Steam Museum in East Greenwich Rhode Island. They have two Corless Valve giant steam engines and many more. Check their website for more info. Good video. These engines are marvels of slide rule engineering.
far better wioot music mate,, love stuff like this steam power is fascinating to think all coal miners in the industrial age relied oan one oh these to take them doon and bring them up from the coal mines amazing even although fossil fuels powered it the sound is so much cleaner than a modern engine
It's not a bearing, it's a lubricating device: oil drips (3:14) into the circular trough (which seems to be suspended in space) and centrifugal force carries the oil down a hollow tube which is fixed to the end of the crank pin. The oil makes its way through the crank pin & then to the crank pin bearing. Ingenious!
bigbill53toledo Its position is fixed at the end of the rigid tube which carries oil to the crank pin bearing. It aligns with the axis of the crankshaft. As the crankshaft rotates, it and the circular trough revolve in the same plane, creating something of an illusion that the trough is hanging in space. There are many other examples on steam engines to be found on youtube - it is clearer when an engine is at rest.
I can see your problem, I have a number of videos that I am tó replace because of an error in audio post, anyway, I think I and other guys with wishes for this stuff, that there steam engine, are so impressed by the basic quality of the footage that - at least I - just want the entire story told in one video with natural audio and no music, because the engine makes the music and we also want the context of the machinery powered by it. The first video - with music - does a good job of the story telling, but sorry, the music is just too loud, at a much lower level it might have been ok, and there is some sense in using it to mask unrelated talk that ends up in the audio track. And it is when it IS good, because it really is, that the wish to get it better gets so vocal, as I can see it be. It really is a "well done", from me as well as from the other commenters!
From Wikipedia: A serious fire occurred in October 1918. The fire did not affect the boilers or the engine, and the mill was fully operational again 10 days after the incident. However, the mill front was damaged, and was subsequently rebuilt, though as a single-storey building. During the rebuilding, the mill looms were relocated to the bottom shed. As forementioned, Prudence the engine, was undamaged in the fire and was renamed Peace, in respect for the fallen soldiers of the First World War Cheers, M
This beast makes it's own "music"! :-)
+OnlyTheEd
Quite right, Ed. Thanks for watching :-)
Cheers,

@@markerbuoy you think we could make a steam power plant?
@@marcoandresrosario8474 Most power plants are already using steam, with turbines not with pistons like this
@@sovietcomrade7733 cool is there a video showing it?
@@marcoandresrosario8474 you can try to type coal / nuclear power plant turbine on RUclips maybe you'll find a video
I was one of the complainers... thank you for the remake, it's exquisite! You have earned a subscriber.
I know :-)

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. The glorious sound of steam power!
This video is perfect. Love the visuals and the sounds. Cheers!

Better without the sound track. Love the engineering skill.
Yes I prefer the new version as well love the sounds of fine machinery in motion. Cheers
Glad you like it :-)

Beautiful piece of mechanical genius. I could listen to this all day. Thank you for taking out the soundtrack.

Thank you for redoing this with the natural sounds.

I actually have trouble working out what some of the things do, particularly the complicated linkages seen at 2:32 and it frustrates me somewhat

Fantastic Machine
I am a retired stationary operating engineer. I loved working with those old Scotch Marine boilers and the engines!
I have to say I like the natural sounds of the engine better. I noticed you didn't include the power transmission and the looms on this version. :( Thank you for posting this though!
GREAT! This is really much better with no music sound track.
Thank you.
Thank you for remaking it :)
Great industrial techno track! Ah wait... it's real machinery. Love those sounds!
In large engines like these the steam goes to condensers and the condensed water goes to the boiler a bit warmer in smaller single cylinders outside the mill
Some beautiful, fine, British Steam Engineering right there!
this machine amazes me so complex but yet simple
Wonderful museum. A world treasure
Indeed.
Well worth a visit...
the sound its so beatiful :)
Excellent craftsmanship...
+Yann Kitson
Stylish too!
Thanks for watching...
M
this of extreme quality and precision!
4:12 a steam engine was peace at the time, tree huggers really evolved
MUCH better this IS the music
I just heard from one of the engine men that the chimney needs a lot of work and the museum is temporarily closed. There is a friend's group trying to raise money to do the necessary work.
Nothing better than the noise of mechanisms doing there thing
Very cool! There is something intrinsically interesting while watching machinery. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Cheers,
M
now this one damn good engine ill take it for anything!
I wish to be engineer running this beauty. Sadly I was born 200 years late.
seen one similar to this at the national mining museum Scotland but it had been reverted tae electric power for show. wid love tae see the original steam power
Beautiful engine, really something to see them running at full speed.

Thanks for the tip Greg, I'll have a look. Glad you enjoyed the vid.

Great engine - and a well-made video. Cheers!
Thanks for watching Gary!
Remake or not I enjoyed it. Wish you had time to put out more videos. I really enjoy your channel.
Les From Oregon
Ya forgot the clip of the boiler at the beginning.
far better wioot music mate,, love stuff like this steam power is fascinating to think all coal miners in the industrial age relied oan one oh these to take them doon and bring them up from the coal mines amazing even although fossil fuels powered it the sound is so much cleaner than a modern engine
Nice working and sound
perfection.
At 3:21 what is holding that bearing in space?
It's not a bearing, it's a lubricating device: oil drips (3:14) into the circular trough (which seems to be suspended in space) and centrifugal force carries the oil down a hollow tube which is fixed to the end of the crank pin. The oil makes its way through the crank pin & then to the crank pin bearing. Ingenious!
Markerbuoy - On Canada's Left Coast But what makes it look like its hanging in space from moving parts?
bigbill53toledo Its position is fixed at the end of the rigid tube which carries oil to the crank pin bearing. It aligns with the axis of the crankshaft.

Please please please, make 1 video of all of it with fire up and weaving and natural sounds! - here the context of the machine is missing!
+Peter Larsen
Wow, running a RUclips channel is turning into a full time job!
Some days, even I run out of steam :-)

Nestor Elias Ramirez Jimenez Thanks for watching!Regards, M
That looks like a Corliss valve gear.
Why is it called PEACE?

Please also fix the museum video rather than warn about it having music ... O;-)
Why is there no steam to be seen anywhere, in this steam engine, or is it driven by some external engine.eg electric or diesel
Michael Paxon the steam is only inside the pipes and cylinders and the used steam probably goes to the chimney

Play this video at 1.5X speed and put on Kongos "Come with me now" in the background. Thank me later. :)

America has an anomaly, both of our coasts are left.
Heh, heh :-)
If you like that you should see the river don engine at kelham island museum in sheffield.

Far better without the music.
