We should keep samples displayed for eternity to preserve the design and technology. In 70 years cars will be designed more like what they were in the 1940's. Once the government inevitably gets out of the market we will see a whole new line of cheaper, much easier to work on and more reliable vehicles on the road.

If you're in a town with shitty drivers, instead of driving nice clasic cars drive a surplus M813 or M35 cargo truck. It still has that super cool factor, but anyone that hits you will completely destroy their vehicle while yours will only need a little spray paint. images.complex.com/complex/image/upload/c_limit,w_680/fl_lossy,pg_1,q_auto/p9sf3fyyoftalhfl9esb.jpg ^Seriously, any car that hits this truck will be totally and completely ruined, but the truck would be just fine without hardly even a scratch.

for those that dont know - the 'balls' are the governor that controlled the engine speed - you could put excess steam pressure on her, and then the governor controlled the RPM - if load changed, governor worked to maintain proper rpm. these were centrifugal, that is, as rpm increased, the 'balls' would elevate and control a valve that reduced flow to the engine. thank you BSB369 for your comment!

I posted a comment about this pump and believed it came from a well that was decomissioned by me last year 2015 in East London. My comment was that the engine may have the numbers 736 stamped on the workings of the pump. This number is incorrect and should be 723 which is the patent No of Bolton and Watt the engineers that designed the machine. All the workings of the pump that were below ground to a depth of 65 - 70 metres deep had the number 723 stamped on them. it was made for the Indigo Dye Works near Bow in London and was commissioned in 1832. The pump opperated using 12 foot long wooden rods connected by steel plate links which were still intact after 170 years. The base working gear recovered is made of bronze, beutifully engineered. We took many photographs and made detailed drawing when the pump workings were cleaned up. How they made this is an engineering marvel in 1832. Jay has done a fantastic job preserving this engine.

How cool to find out that Jay has a stationary engines area! My dad has been an old engine collector for my whole life, I'm 49. He used to have a rather large gas engine but sold it many years ago to help out his parish which was on hard times. He specializes in maytag engines. Maytag very early on sold washing machines that ran on gasoline because most rural areas weren't yet on the grid. Hes a retired tool and die maker, and his his retirement just for the fun of it he maps his engines very much the way the guy in the video did, half scales them, and then basically hand builds working gas engines from raw materials such as blocks of metal. He would be like it was front row tickets at the Indy 500 happy to have a few minutes in just that garage section.

Absolute beauty in craftsmanship. Talk about built to last and easy on the eyes, my guess is that most of the major components were one off castings which were hand finished on manual lathes, mills and plenty of files. I am an old machinist working on the design and manufacture of aerospace gearboxes and I gotta tell you that those tapered shims look like a great way to setup a test stand, I suppose that the more modern version would be a gib adjustment but either way they are a much faster setup than peelible shims. If you ever want to do a show about turn of the century manufacturing give me a call and we can sit down and talk about shapers, lathes with a bull gear and cutting gear teeth on a mill. Your engineer / machinist is a lucky guy, not many people have the opportunity to restore museum quality equipment which will be treasured my many for years to come.

Impressed that Jay is into this stuff, think he would like "The Waverely" its a paddle steamer that still does runs from London to South end, it was built after WW2 because ships that were drafted into the war were given the option of being replaced as they were or in a more modern form if they were sunk (it was) but the owners wanted a replacement that was the same as the original.

@cannissolis 5 жыл бұрын

Dear Mr Leno, this is not a "walking" beam. Walking beams have a longitudinal movement to avoid using (or pre-dating) James Watt's parallelogram linkage at the cylinder, walking beams did not have a fixed central column but instead had a pair of vertical links either side of the beam, pivoted at the ground as well as the centre of the beam this allowed the beam to follow the straight line motion of the piston rod and due to the vertical links rocking back and forth looked (with a little imagination) as though it was walking. rotative beam engines such as yours use Watt's parallelogram to do the same job. So your engine is a beautiful rotative beam engine which came later than the "Cornish" atmospheric pumping beam engines which didn't rotate.

These engines are similar to James Watt's engines of the 1780's. He had a patent on his machines and was partially paid on the savings on the engine efficiency vs uses horses going round and round driving machinery to factory owners. Many people infringed his patents by copying his engine and in England many of the factories in the early 1800s had high windows to stop workers looking out and industrial spies looking in to copy the design. I think a lot of these engines were made by smaller companies possibly not putting their name on. I have not seen early engines with names on.......most people in England could not read 200 years ago so there was no point.

***** Watts' engines were not this type. This is a "Walking Beam" type, and of a very rare period before standard threads. I had to check how those wedges worked a couple of times to really see how they did that without bolts. Look on videos of ferries, all civil war era stuff, and basically anything large until 1910 and this engine is used. This one seems to be sort of a Genesis unit. Amazing.

Funny how they have a steam engine, but use a computer to make parts. The old meets the new, I love it.

Well after 187 years the original craftsmen and machinists that can replicate parts by hand and eyesight have all died out.

The way to do it would be to have the steam engine generate the electricity for the CNC machine.

@@twistedyogert Better still, eliminate the electricity altogether and build a steam powered CNC machine under the control of a Babbage Analytical Engine. You'd just need to attach a Jacquard-loom format card punch to designing PC via USB, to program the Analytical Engine. (I'm all about doing it the hardest way possible).

the village I live in, we have the largest working steam engine on earth. The flywheel weighs North of 80Tonnes. it doesn't power anything anymore but once a month they have it (and a load of other old engines) running. Hell of a thing to see.

Luke Schofield what was that massive steam engine powering back in the day?

@lucasschofield8716 7 жыл бұрын

ZapCannon5 a huge mill. I think it had 8 floors altogether. The mill itself burned down a while back but the engine house is still there, it's been turned into a museum for all the steam engine machinery.

When u finally run out of saved up money from the tonight show u should open your garage up as a working museum let people come in and check your stuff out in person

Edward Rae he’s probably been smart with investing his money so that his money is producing returns faster than he spends it. He also might make money from these videos and his collection itself is likely an appreciating asset. With that said he literally has created an amazing museum & I agree it would be so cool to visit in person. It’s awesome what Jay is doing 👍

@@MittyNuke1 Exactly. Once you've reached a critical mass financially, you can just live off the capital gains, without even touching the principal. This is why our economic elite is unaccountable. Whatever companies they run into the ground, it doesn't matter to them. They've already made all the money they'll ever need.

Ever use it to actually perform work? Why not try to hook it up to a generator and see if you can get it to generate electricity?

That would be redundant, because if it is spinning, it can do any type of work requiring a spinning shaft.
