Thank you very much! James Watt's inventions are absolutely amazing, especially when you see the additional technological problems he had to solve at his time!
Thank you so much for this! I'm reading Jenny Uglow's "The Lunar Men" at the moment which is all about Watt and Boulton et al., and I really wanted to see some of Watt's engines in action. This was perfect and your explanations were a welcome bonus.
Watt's biggest and most important innovation was to dispense with Newcomen's Atmospheric Power, for Steam Power. To achieve this, he had to invent a new engine, the world's first practical Steam Engine, in Scotland.
Newcomen, Savery, and Smeaton built an engine to supply Atmospheric Power. Watt built an engine to supply Steam Power. In Britain from 1800 to1900. 20,000 Waterwheels decreased in number. Windmills decreased in number. The Englishman Thomas Newcomen's 1,500 Atmospheric Pumps disappeared. The Scotsman James Watt's 500 Steam Engines and their descendants increased in number to 10,000,000 !!! For every SINGLE Waterwheel in 1800 there were now 500 James Watt type Steam Engines and their descendants in 1900 !!! The Power output of the whole country increased by 500 times, and so, Production capacity !!! In one human lifetime. And you don't need a flowing river of water for each one either! This WAS the Industrial Revolution, it was a Power Revolution and it was kicked off by only one single Invention, James Watt's Invention of the world's first PRACTICAL Steam Powered Engine in Scotland. It was nothing to do with efficiency, it was all due to the dumping of Newcomen's Atmospheric Power and Arkwright's Water-Power for Steam Power. Take away James Watt's Steam Power and you don't get an Industrial Revolution.
You can't stare at a moment petrol diesel or electric car engines at least steam stationary locomotives ships reciprocating engines a lot more going on watch external rods moving more exciting then internal combustion engines

What were the problems?
Working with Steam as a gas and getting it to drive tons of metal machinery without it condensing.

Danke und das mit dem Kanal kann ich nur zurückgeben! Grüße aus Österreich!
I like the way you label parts on screen its very helpful Thanks
klepper00 I also
Outstanding lesson as always! Thanks!
Fantastisch! Eines deiner besten Videos. Ich wird das Video als Favorit speichern. Vielen Dank!
How was the metal made for this machine... Can't have been steam power.?
Steam Powered bellows for the furnaces!
Merci bien Raphael, enchanté! Des bonjours de l' Autriche, Harald
Danke, danke, ich fuehle mich sehr geehrt! Herzliche Gruesse aus Oesterreich!
Oh you're welcome! Thanks for watching and friendly comment!
Bonjour,
Very interesting engine, and thank you for the accurate description.
Amicalement, Raphaël
Great video. Enjoyed watching.
Tolle Maschine und interessante Videos im Kanal!
Magnifique!!! Merveilleux!!
2:20 parallel motion rods, for which he had every reason to be proud of that!
I wonder if they made models before constructing the full size engines..
Do you know any history about this particular engine depicted in the video? (Where was it used? What was it used for?)
Your questions are answered above in the explanation section at the very top of the page!
AWESOME!

Amazing.
22psi? I thought pressures were lower, like 5psi.
Yes, there's a lot of deliberate misinformation out there, it's definitely 22 psi.
Watt was a brilliant man.
3:13 that governor probable ain't doing crap at that low RPM
Huh, I thought it was bigger. But still impressive. I wonder what Mr. Watt would think of a modern computer.
There is a 1799 engine near Charles City Iowa USA. And the goal is to get it back in steam, flywheel is appox 10feet in diameter.
Thank you very much! :-) I'm pleased!
بالتوفيق فالماشين مع فكنش 😂😂👌
it is actually very noisy, but i still like it.
cool

Ihr herzlich willkommen. Allerdings bin ich aus Amerika, ha ha... Ich hoffe, dass mein Deutsch ist okay, LOL...
Yes, I know, and your German is not perfect but very very ok, compliments :-)

I came here because of math....😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
