    Mr Karnes raises the definition of "enthusiast" by quite a considerable margin.

    Love Alex and his passion, and his work. He has his own YT now, A. E. Karnes channel... and has recently taken over the Woburn MA Waterworks museum's big engine (FB channel there), which was recently steamed up. They call him The Steamist... for good reason. The U.K. has preserved its steam heritage to two orders of magnitude better than the U.S.A. has... very glad to have Alex working stateside to help with this problem.

    This is the best showing of the difference of starting verses running action of the Geo. Corliss valve gear. You guys run at speed!
    A.E.K. is a gem at explanations on various engine parts and adjusting!
    Been running a couple of American Corliss type engines
    for a long time. One shouldn't be ran at governed speed, the other gets close sometimes.
    ALWAYS, you guys have us yanks beat at preservation and running of these sweethearts.
    They really are sweethearts!
    Another bit for my bucket list is to visit you folks.
    Thank you!
    I'll watch this again. Right now.

    Mr. Karnes did a great job explaining the various parts he showcased. I learned quite a bit. I would love to hear his explanation of the intricacies of the Corliss valve gear. I've studied it a decent bit, yet there are still mysteries I have yet to comprehend. In all, an outstanding video of an outstanding exhibit.

    That ratcheting governor is an integral control system as opposed to the strictly proportional system of the Watts governor. Does anyone have any more info on it?

  • @slopcier
    @slopcier 5 лет назад +1

    Great video, really interesting to learn about bearing wedges and the different types of big end oilers. The indexing governor is very interesting too, but I felt as though the description went above my head a bit. Does anyone know where I can find out more about it? And did I understand correctly that it is making fine adjustments to the valve timing via the vertical shaft shown in the background? And when he turned the handle, was that intentionally altering the engine speed to show us the mechanisms action? Thanks in advance

    Keith;
    Is there anything this gentleman does not know about steam engines british-american or otherwise? The last few videos you two have collaborated on you have been so informative. I never knew there was that many large steam engines still around this world today, I knew there were quite a few in Britain but I had no idea there were so many in America, if he doesn't have parents you should adopt him. I suspect he is the American version of you when you were his age.

    • @keithappleton

    @kaibroeking9968 4 года назад

    The footage of the Corliss valve gear could be flagged as almost pornographic.
    Just right for a break from programming. (Some gleaming brass and steel to compensate being stuck in front of a monitor.)
    And the explanations are just great!
    That being said: That Lumb's governor is clever!
    Unfortunately, this also means that the governor on a telescope drive by Zeiss/Jena from the 1920s, one which a friend of mine has been doing a lot of work on (most of which was spent on understanding the mechanism), might be slightly less inventive than we always thought. Interesting.
