Built before metric measurements and it works brilliantly.

WD40!!???!! Hahaha. Soll das ein Witz sein? Das ist übel schlechtes Öl.

Amazing as these engines are, it blows my mind imagining the lathes, milling machines, and shapers needed to build these parts.

sounds like it’s breathing

-It's funny how some steam plants ran for a decade or two then went away, then there's this which ran clear into 1980.

Voor dergelijk indrukwekkend technisch erfgoed moet je in het UK zijn !

Good to see they're rebuilding the other barring engine!

Great video. It could have been much longer, to show the other exhibits.

For those who were paying attention to the gauges, one of them at 4:58 reads "Journal oil pressure." In engines, the journal is the "crank" part of the crankshaft that gets gripped by the connecting rod and converts the linear movement of the piston into rotation. So in a roundabout, indirect sort of way, that oil gauge tells just how hard that individual piston is pushing on the crankshaft.

Man, just look at the detail !

Now THAT is a work of ART!

This is dope

If I do nothing else before I depart this earth I must see this magnificent machine in operation

Imagine being the Chief Engineer in that museum. What a dream.

Even the turning gear alone could power a decent size boat.Beautiful.

I know, the Museum has several "Steaming Weekends" over the Year. But do you know, when they are starting the Engine on each of the days? Will it be right when the museum opens the doors or which time?

Thank you 🙏 great 👍 big steam engine ☝️I would sit and watch it for day 👏👏👏👋☮️

4:14 kinda small isn't it (looks up) oh THAT engine

Yo dawg we heard you like steam engines so we put a steam engine on your steam engine so you can start your engines while you start your engines.

This is very beautiful as well as amazing. Thank you for sharing this.

the only parts doing useful work are the large rods going straight up and down. the crank rods and crankshaft are only there to provide momentum to the pistons up top. the straight rods are connected to the pumping cylinders below the engine that are pumping the water. this massive machine only generates 1000 hp but at like 200 rpm . so inefficient but beautiful to watch. of course it was replaced by electric pumps.

Афигеть, вот это технологии! Хочу такой же к себе на дачу, чтобы экскурсии водить и музейные тапочки подавать! :)

Where it was used

Simply amazing.

The guy at the little barring machine, did anybody else get a little nervous watching him operating it with that long piece of rag dangling around those gears or is that just me? I'll admit I got a little fixated on that... ;)

The engine is impressive in itself but I was looking at the structure of the beast and it looks it it was all casting made. Yes, and all the rails, the plaque's have stand offs as well as the gauges and much more I couldn't see, The pour set up for something like this and blue printing involved,,, it's a treasure.

Awesome!

Such a heavy monster..... But so lovely...❤

does not get more steampunk than this

I can hear Dibnah doing a commentary in the background

Steam power was engineered to perfection, that is, until something better, cheaper and simpler came along. That principle applies to all types of technologies.

No puedo concebir todavia lo que deben haber sido los talleres de esa epoca para fabricar semejante motor.

What surprises me the most is the tiny starter engine making this behemoth go

I need this monster to put me to sleep 😴.

WD40😂

Шедевр!

Dang, Just running that starter motor is a skill in itself.

Amazing workmanship

Very elegant solution. Dad must be pleased.

Like the engine from Titanic

You're gonna need a bigger steam engin... oh wait. No. No you won't. My bad.

I saw this beast start up last year ... FANTASTIC 🙂

These seem similar to engines on the USS Texas BB-35. Does anyone know who manufactured the Texas engines and are these the same?

The size and power generated, and yet the little starter motor seems to make more noise.

~ dude starts tiny engine ~ “That it? Not very impressive, is… oh wait”

What marvel machine, the likes of which will never be built again.

What does it do? Is it a pump or generator or something else?

This machine started from engineers who provided a mathmatical design converted to paper by draughtsmen , then converted to wood by patternmakers then the patterns used by a foundry to cast the components on to a machine shop who precision machined the castings , assembled in a workshop and then ....a working machine .....simple ha ha

Wow, absolutely mind blowing the machining and casting work from back then.
