I didn't start using RUclips until I was a senior in 2010.. I've never even thought of how convenient it must be for school to have a video essay on every possible subject ever.
I found it interesting and well done. Being an engineer, though, I want more detail! There are so many components to a late model locomotive and I want to know about them all!
There isnt much else to say. Except for the valve gear. On earlier engine, there are two sets of essentrics, 175-180 degrees apart. One is for forward and the other is for reverse. Later link motion valve gears allowed steam tk be cut off at higher speeds, which allowed smaller amounts of steam to use much more energy and saves more steam from being spent.
Same, there are some interestring details, like latest Czech locomotives have three pistons (ruclips.net/video/gz2xKRIehDc/видео.html), two chimneys, Trofimov valves that are freely moving on the rod when steam pressure is not applied (idle) reducing moving mass, there some interesting details like superheating steam, water pockets in boiler and last part which i do not understand is kinematics of linkage system (to make it worse, it has to work with dumping and train must be able to turn ... and someone had to design it without computers more than 100 years ago. It surprises me that people were able to design very complicated mechanic machines whereas today we are trying to replace everything by electronics with no moving parts (take drone with complicated and rapidly reacting regulation and simple brushless motors vs helicopter with tilting rotor blades)
What you have shown is a *Portable Engine* , not a traction engine. The main difference is that a portable engine lacks a drivetrain, so it is not self propelled. They were moved by horses to wherever they where needed. Traction engines came later when portable engines were modified or redesigned with steering systems, fuel and water storage, operator's platforms, and most importantly, a drivetrain to the rear wheels.
Lol, I just said the same thing in a different comment. I help operate portable steam engines and traction engines. I have a video of it on my channel. It’s called Fall Steam day 2019. I also have a video of me running a steam roller.
Yeah, at the museum I work at, what you were calling a reaction engine, we call a porta-boiler. They were not self propelled and were usually horse drawn.
2:16 This is not a traction engine. it is a portable engine used for powering machinery using a belt off of the flywheel. it does not have the driving gear to move itself. they have a drawbar hitch on the front that is hitched to a traction engine to move it. And as for the steam being trapped inside the boiler, every steam powered machine has to have a safety mechanism on it. on a boiler is a safety valve witch will open at the maximum safe working pressure releasing excess steam so it does not put the boiler under strain and risk it having an explosion.
@@shrinidhi6920 I'll do one on heat soon. I don't know if I'll really lay out the 3 laws + 0th, like they do in classrooms, but it will be a good episode.
The principle on which the steam engine operates is so simple a child of seven or eight years can grasp it readily. The details of making it work reliably, with a tolerable maintenance burden and with slightly better than dismal efficiency filled the careers of mechanical engineers for a century.
Well explained. Without wanting to sound negative these types of engines were only a few percent efficient. Most of the energy was lost as heat and only a part of the potential energy in the steam was converted into work. Having said that-- These must be the most exciting and inspiring engines ever devised.
@@thecyberexplorer1265 Your point being???? Why would I need any patents in my name to mention the efficiency of steam engines and why would you need to need to suggest this is in some way "awkward"?
@@jonka1 even centuries later steam engines r still our most powerful source of power we have for mechanical energy purposes. Steam locomotives r around 6 times the power of any of its strongest competitors. And a steam traction engine of over 100yo is as or more powerful than our current best 4 wheel drive diesel tractors of the same size. Using the technology we’ve discovered and invented in the past century we cud modernize the steam engine to a point where we wud be using hardwood chip fuelled steam engines instead of gas, diesel, oil, propane or anything else fuelled engines. It wud simply be able to easily outperform everything else we got even more than it already does. And with how steam engines r wat is used to launch aircrafts off of aircraft carriers at such extreme force and r also used in nuclear power plants.
This is fascinating. The principles are probably somewhat similar to how our cars operate today, only using combustion instead of steam. Its all very interesting.
Steam is external combustion, the steam is continuous and shuttled through valves to push on either side of the piston. A gas or diesel engine is INTERNAL combustion, the fuel ignites and pushes on only the one side of the piston. The valves are timed to let fuel/air mixture in and exhaust out, so different ways to accomplish the motion of the flywheel
Both steam engines and modern internal combustion engines are heat engines so they are fundamentally similar. The only engines we regularly use that aren't heat engines are electric engines, and that's why they're so dramatically more efficient than all forms of heat engines. This is also why sustainable power sources like wind, solar and hydro are so efficient, they are not heat engines so have an intrinsic advantage when compared to fossil fuels and nuclear power.
Thank you so much! For the longest time I’ve been trying to make a compressed air engine out of Lego and this video is the reason I was able to do so! It showed me how important a flywheel is and that is the one thing my invention lacked. Again thank you!
i got so emotiional thinking that humans saw steam and decided to investigate its power and eventually use it to turn a wheel and ride a carriage. This is OG science moment. i love it
In some sense, a light water reactor is a Newcomen engine of nuclear reactors. Whereas a molten salt reactor is the nuclear equivalent of an ICE, in relative fuel efficiency and compactness. And it's finally on its way to getting commercialized.
Going to the steam show this weekend to watch live demonstrations mostly on farm equipment. Riding the two stroke motorcycle there so i should be viewed as a "greener" spectator as our cloud of oil comes rolling in to the soot filled fairgrounds.
Great video and visuals... Only nitpick is that kilograms are NOT a unit of force or weight, but of mass (whereas in english units, you can have lbs force/weight, or less commonly, lbs mass).
Thank you for teaching about these engine design in such a creative way. Now I actually know how Thermodynamics was discovered and used. Wish these concepts were taught in School as well
Thermodynamics, the statement be "engineers learned to extract energy from HEAT" not FIRE. I get that these old steam engines use a fuel source that burns aka fire, Wood, Coal, Fuel-Oil, etc... but other fuel sources are used to boil water, like any Nuclear power plant and no fire is involved in that.
@@Nexalian_Gamer it’s kinda hard to explain without you having prior knowledge, but just look up “New York Central J3a”. It’s the loco this model is based on.
1:06 Did you just glance over Richard Trevithick? One of the greatest engineers who showed that a steam machine can move on it's own and even built the first steam locomotive.
way to go! I really like the illustrations of how to change the molecules' pattern of bouncing around . I also really liked the thought bubbles of what those people, our ancestors, were thinking
You did not explain what moves and when the slide valve decides to move from one side to another, it seem it is the main thing toggling the force to the piston but how it does that?
altho burnng coal did have an effect on the climate, you you look at graphs the problems really rocketed when diesel and petrol started to take over in the 50s and 60s. for cars, rail, and everything really. coal smoke is mainly visible particles that fall back down to earth
Think it was a bit before the 50s and 60's for cars! and the London Smog was made mainly by peoples home fires not transport...ok, maybe the railways added as well then
Very informative video. The only section that I think could use some tweaking is when you discussed the chugga chugga sound. You did mention it, thank you but a direct correlation showing the valve moving and venting to the stack with a slow motion at first and then increasing. I think most of us get it now, just an aid. Thank you.
"it's hard to think that the steam from your cup of tea could move a giant train engine" it's hard to think that the flame from a birthday candle could burn entire cities to the ground
So how much water does it need to carry to generate steam to create enough pressure to get it going? Do trains have a water and coal supplies enough to last a long trip?

I dont know anything about steam engines and have no idea why this was recommended but that was very interesting. Perhaps the algorithm confused it with Steam Machines from Valve Software?
I remember a documentary on a steam engine that worked in a different principle, but I can't find it. From what I remember it worked by spraying cold water into the cylinder at the end of the expansion cycle and the rapid change in pressure pulled the piston in, instead of a high pressure pushing out. Never mind, I found it: The atmospheric engine was invented by Thomas Newcomen in 1712
Pretty cool presentation! I was thrown a curve ball at the end there talking about whether the scientists considered the potential harm to the atmosphere. I don't think it would have been possible, they didn't even know there was an Ozone right? Or how much air and how it would disperse? Nor even if you time travelled do I think you could explain it to the point that they might understand much less curb progress. Leaded gas comes to mind and how a great deal of people knew how bad it would be and it still got adopted.

Water and coal is stored in the tender, right behind the cab. They could make it pretty far on a full supply of coal, but water went much quicker.
