It would be 123 years old.

The engine room crew musta been grooving the whole work day...

You mean the momentum

I think he means energy rather than power.

Probably not. it's so well balanced that you'd hardly notice it's running. F I wasn't it'd"walk out the door".

I have balanced coins on the intercooler housing of Ingersoll Rand class XLE reciprocating air compressors driven by synchronous motors more than a few times, these units were 600 hp 28’’low pressure piston and 16’’ high pressure piston with a 10’’ stroke and very smooth running 😊.

[enter stonks man here] tork

love it lol

They have 2 Lancashire boilers on site that burn coal. Its very rare to see English engines being ran by oil fired boilers, excluding modern ones.

Steam power is still used extensively. All coal, natural gas, and nuclear plants use steam turbines to drive generators. They typically operate as closed systems constantly recycling the water they use.

These piston driven steam engines are wonderful, but they are hopelessly inefficient. When the steam turbine came, all these fantastic machines became obsolete. We even still to this day use steam turbines as already mentioned by other people here.

Ferrariman601 the Titanic's steam engine and boilers returned the steam to water, but you do have a good idea going.

forrest225 Up to 2000hp a reciprocating steam engine is better for these sort of applications, pumping and locomotives etc. As for maintenance I think they were less trouble than with modern technology. A 1950s locomotive would go 130,000 miles between services. Many ended their days having done over a million miles.

@@MrBewie or so they say, melosco super heaters 1940. 950° at the start 950° at the finish process, dtry steam 22% more efficient than wet steam, steam is 77% efficient. Steam engines run 500,000 mikes in ships and still have many 100.000 mikes l3ft in them before they ate resleeved, Less moving parts means less matinanace. A single turbine has no matinanace. Only the boiler is Dr calc with gycosphate, the same gycosphate Monsanto spray on crops and has patented as an antibiotic, because it kills all bacteria except samonilia. You have been sold the petrol lie, vs "it's too expensive to heat water not true in fact it's the very opposite.

thank you so much, i really wanted to know what type of engine is 😊

First world countries thrive on the principle of obsolescence. Every thing produced by the USA is built to be scrapped instead of repaired and reused.

In the day they would have run a lot higher, I would guess around the 150-180 psi mark. Now they run at around 50-60 as the engine isn't under much load and the boilers are very large for the engine that they provide the steam for.

Tf? Anyone can care for this engine and do an amazing job. Interesting how you contradicted yourself when they opened the museum again. Just because you push stereotypes on to groups of people doesn't mean they're all the same. I have a friend from other religions and she's amazing at engineering. Why do you think only certain type of person can care? You're definitely a boomer

Forget solar panels, you could power a whole village with one this size.

those are too light to carry off

As new ways of generating power are being made and put together The old machines that generate power and still work today can be cheaper And I was saying Developing countries might be able to afford these steam engine generators

Yeah hopefully it won't come to that. I think the building is still maintained by the council but I don't think the engine will run again. It's quite sad really.

+John wood - Why is it closed down. Is this not a historic building set up in a preservation trust? Have the volunteers who preserved, rebuilt and tun this thing all gone away. Are there no new people who can see the beauty and functionality of this machine take over and continue the operation? Shame on you British for letting this happen. It is the same tragic tale of the complete eradication of Fred Dibnahs, house, contents, his steam powered machine shop,, machine tools his workshop and all his hand tools, gauges and fitting. Everything wiped out, including the mine headgear he built to demonstrate how the English mines operated. All gone for nothing more than pure greed/ A curse on you all who can not take care of what your Grandfathers have handed down to you. You have all these wealthy jolly-boys riding around in their expensive cars. Have them put a trust fund together to preserve these heritage sites.. You certainly raise enough fuss about old building that are nothing more than broken down stone walls. You can't save what is left of a functional cloth mill. Shame on you all., weal, modern day wimps who care for nothing but yourself and your material existence. You folks on this site - Rise up. Make a fuss. Do something. Don't wait for others to do it for you. No one will. Don't let this incredible machine 200 years old??? Look at it. Flawless quiet operation. Please, those of you who care. Do a Gofund and get rid of the "Council" which is obviously useless and take care of this thing. It has a name. All English steam machines did.

@@organbuilder272 yes exactly this! I am 18 and I also believe exactly what you said!!!!

Checking an obscured part of the engine, likely.

51AR TVN around 60 lol

Looks like double.

Yes. The textile mill is no more, so the engine only runs the generator as part of the demonstration.

This engine isn't from the Titanic

boilers... lol they are in the room next to it. you see those red pipes I am pretty sure they are feeding her the steam

a steam engine produces steam. Even i know that and i don't know anything about em

@@1dogpobo Wrong

Before the TITANIC could be 'rebuilt as an evening cruiser it would need to be retrieved from 10,000 feet of freezing cold Atlantic Ocean water. Used cruise ships can be had for as little as a few million dollars. Harbor cruisers could be had for a million or so.

Just about if you squeeze it

+Jiayang Ruan 500HP or roundabouts.

+AlmightyBanger Possibly more, I don't know all about this beautiful engine. What I know is it's a beautiful engine.

Good example are todays mobile phones. They're built to break

Well, maybe some of the cars, certainly the buildings, for sure the pollution, and definitely the culture: the songs, the mannerisms, the movies, the Internet (already nearly 60 years old)...

A generator.

@@b43xoit incorrect. This engine ran a cotton mill.

Dave B shitty parent ain't just here in America. I seen worse from other countries like Mexico and New Zealand (my home country)

Your whole body wouldn't stop that flywheel, the amount of power on that flywheel wouldn't just hurt, for if you did get caught in there it would more than likely rip your arm off. I read one such case in a mill somewhere in Lancashire where this happened when these types of engine were everywhere.

I don't think an oak tree would stop that flywheel...

+Rainbow Dash Get your brony arse out of here. British Steam Engineering glory is clearly not the thing for you, so why bother watching this video in the first place? If you don't like something, don't view anything about it and don't post stupid comments like that making yourself look like an idiot.

Yea These are for the old fellas

You must be a youngin

You idiot you have no understanding of how this works so you decided to hate on it! I suggest you stay far away from anything mechanical as you clearly don't appreciate it! I am 14 and I appreciate machines I love them you are probably 18 and think your phone is your life! Sorry but you can't insult the only think I like. Go hate on Nyan cat or something.

Another reason why I may have so much hate towards you because of what you said is because I am British... Theory?
