- Details about the design and fitup of the power plant seen in previous videos. I had to come up with this in two weeks and had only one of those weeks to assemble and test it. Thank you Elijah for all the help and the filming.
Some of the fitup and setup of this plant can be found here: • Building a short-notic...
This plant was created to demonstrate various engines, both for sale and not. Links to these machines are below.
• Herreshoff's Lightweig...
• Ashworth Parker Engine...
• Ward's Radial Triple E...
• US Navy G and K type E...
• Merryweather Steam Fir...
• Edward's type Wet Air ...
• Donkin Steering Engine
• Reid Steam Windlass
For a temporary setup, you spared no effort: Three feed pumps with a feed water heater, all installed with neat, tidy piping and shiny brass dials with lovely matte silvered gauge sheets inside. Brilliant!
A boiler-firing party with some spirits and good company sounds like a great time!
This man is one part evil scientist, one part amazing, and one part all American ingenuity. I am loving these videos!
Great interaction. Kids can be intimidating, and kids can be... Kids. He's got good instincts and a great teacher. Keep it up, Alex.
This is the type of boiler I trained on in in 1978 , I hand fired until 1983 , then we went to oil , didn't get gas until 1991. A hand fired boiler is a live animal that must be constantly managed., and hope you can rely on your fireman and shifts. God Bless the Black Gang !!
The shrink/swell demonstration with a whistle reminds me of a slow day at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard power plant when we calculated the fuel cost of blowing the 11:30AM lunch break whistle on top of the Power Plant.
Your going to be BIG..
Hmmm... I wonder who chalked it for the New Haven...
I've been obsessed with ships all my life, especially warships of the 1860-1920 period, and watching this I realize how very little I know about the operation of them.
I would love to see a project with you. I love the work and enthusiasm for such a fun science
I love these videos, you pack them so full of interesting and useful information that I haven't seen anywhere else.
Nice to see Doug, when you were explaining the oiler I got bit distracted by admiring the polish! (thank goodness for being able to rewind)
It's beautiful. I've always found the modern combustion engines to be fascinating and have worked on them for long times, but never dug into steam engines, and it is amazing how complex these machines are. They are beautiful works of art and the machining was done so well and you can tell the engineers put their hearts and souls into them. I wish everything was built like that. Thank you for sharing your knowledge about these things.
Thats a lot of work just to steam a latte. Starbucks takes some notes. Love this channel. Thank you!
What a beautiful setup great job guys I love listening to your knowledge and banter during this those gauges look amazing polished up like that thank you for sharing
Good Video. So nice to see the progress all the way to steaming. Glad that a few things such as feed water, worked better than expected. The whistles were nice sounding, though the last off speech. If the airship comes to fruition I want in.
never idiotic noise but astounding music that you made, truly incredible!!!
you videos have opened my eyes to the complexities of the supporting systems form steam boilers and equipment.
Great information and what a neat animation! Thoroughly enjoying your videos.
Hi mate, great work.
