Always loved your work Tim, ever since i was a kid and my gran recorded TSLOMS! Have to treat myself to your DVD soon! The film part of this video shows how really, even though some still hate it, we need to capture all these fading works (digitally) before we lose even more forever.. Problem is that costs money, takes time and it's just as possible for digital information to get lost if the medium isn't durable.. Flash chips, optical discs, magnetic discs and magnetic tape...so far none are infallable. With carvings lasting so long though, from ancient times, perhaps the only way is recording digital information onto a physical medium that stands the test of time.. It's just a shame that so much has been lost, continues to be lost and will eventually fade from people's memory, becoming unknown history.. As insignificant as this may seem to some, always disheartening to fear that someone or something could be lost and forgotten forever.
Tims printing is SO PERFECT his drawings are genius! A true engineer! I have been an engineer since 1976 and loved his 'Secret Life of ' series in fact all his work!
after the APT was abandoned by Government / BR the itallians took up the idea and developed the tilting pendolino which was sold back to the privatised railway in Britain for InterCity West Coast, however the HST or InterCity125 which was developed concurrently by BR engineers without innovation is still going strong today and regarded world wide as the best Diesel Loco / Train
how would steam cars have cleaner exhaust than internal combustion cars ? you still have to burn something to boil the water . same gos for electric cars most of them are coal powered !
As he said if they spent the same amount on improving steam power the disadvantages could have been overcome. Steam engines give off steam (water) and carbon dioxide from the burning of coal / wood maybe carbon capture / scrubbing methods or different fuels for burning could have been developed. There are many ways to propel ourselves around it's just which ones are easiest to use and easiest to tax.
firing a steam locomotive correctly ensures that all the volatiles are burnt, if smoke is seen in the steam exhaust then the firing is not optimum, this has always been known and is well demonstrated in the LMS film little and often ruclips.net/video/PVIr66K_rUA/видео.html&ab_channel=NathanFenn
@@Satters I read somewhere that in Egypt in the early days they would use mummies to fire their steam locomotives. Whether that's true or not I don't know.
Tim is a National Treasure - and still going strong in 2022...
I hope these are seen by a lot of people. And he's making new ones now in 2021.
Google employees should be handcuffed and strapped to chairs, eyes propped open with matchsticks and FORCED to watch this on repeat for one day.
@@unlokia Nah, Google employees are born knowing everything. Put them in that rocket launcher instead.
the guy is a genius

Those sheep you did for Pink Floyd were amazing!

That ram was really cool, especially how it seemed to gallop.
They do not fly so much as plummet.
Tissue sheep makes perfect 4 point landing. 👍👍👍👍
0:38 The unpredictability makes it more humorous:-)
thank you
Fast forward 20 years and you got the cyber truck :)

Is that a Rotring chinagraph you're using? Reminds me to clean my old set...
now we have elon and tesla and spacex

For instance you could burn metals to make metal oxides, no gaseous exhaust at all...
