- Hi Resolution Animated description of Richard Trevithick's 1805 Steam Locomotive with detailed explanation of the High Pressure Steam Engine - Presented by: Michael De Greasley
I finally understand how steam engines work. Your excellent graphics and explanations have moved me one step close to knowing everything. Thank you =]
Awesome job and I can’t imagine the amount of work it took to draw and reverse engineer the engine. I applaud you 👏
Every time I see a video like this I think how wonderful it is that there are volunteers who are happy to spend many many hours using their skills to educate and entertain others about history and amazing things that have been done. Very well done and a big thank you.
Hope you enjoy the vidoe I produced about Trevithicks other road engine - The Puffing Devil ;) th-cam.com/video/DXknPScdDJc/w-d-xo.html
I appreciate your job!
Excellent programme! I am a fellow Cornish and now live in Trevithick's home town, Camborne Redruth. We are very proud of him, however, George Stephenson does often steal the limelight somewhat!
Pleased you enjoyed it Paula - Hope you find the one on the Puffing Devil just as informative ;)
its believed he was also the first driver of a steam locomotive
This is pure gold! You really helped me to understand steam engines for my school assignment.
I recommend watching his videos about Newcomen and Watts engine as well. Thank you!
Pleased you found it useful - you may also find the video on the Puffing Devil helpful too ;)
I love your videos. History has always fascinated me.
I think Julius de Waals drawings were produced to allow modellers to build a working live steam model with the appearance but not the technical details of Trevithick's actual locomotives.
I think your excellent Puffing Devil video is much better.
You could be right Mike ;)
Another brilliant explanation .Would never had worked that out from drawings or books.
Your graphics are brilliant and your explanations are well understood.
Thanks again for sharing your very interesting video.
You're welcome ;)
I'm actually Richard's Great Great and so on Grandson My Grandfathers, Mothers Maiden Name was Trevithick and they were descendants from Cornwall and it was passed down we were apart of that family that made their way to New Zealand.
Hope you watched the other video I made about Richard's Puffing Devil ;)
very well explained about that amazing loko and amazon Trevithick !!!!
I was watching the steam engines at the Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza not long ago and was wandering at the time what goes on inside one of them beauty's...
Now I have a good idea.
Excellent informative video.
Must admit... I had no idea before starting this vid :)
Fantastic explanation you couldn't have done it better:-))
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing your time consuming work.
Great job! Beautiful work! What a talent! Thanx a lot.
Glad you enjoyed ;)
Top drawer.
Thank You buddy
Absolutely blown away by the detail that went into the making of this..loved it. Easily explained too..because I'm Welsh. :-)
Well let's put it this way Paul... With what is actually out there in interweb land on this subject I was more than scratching my head in working out just how this thing was constructed of even operated - so once I worked it out I thought I would create a video that young engineers could follow - and now it's passed the Paul Test - I know they will understand it :) Im laughing here mate.... Catch you soon.
Trevithick must have been a VERY interesting character .

name the music 0:43-0:48??
That's my great great great great great great grandfather
I bet you are very proud of the connection ;)
What was the reason steam engines were developed first whereas internal combustion engines would have to wait over 80 or 90 years before becoming practical? Were there any internal combustion engines even in development at that time?
Excellent video, but flawed, as already mentioned below. Are you considering a post - production edit with all the associated faff? It would be good to set the record straight. Nice exposition of the workings of a basic piston valve, however.
Thanks for the video I am a steam enthusiast and would like to build a model of the locomotive were did you find the drawings seen at 3:39 they look very complete and detailed!!
Hi John, the URL for the drawing are shown at 1:57 ;)
Where is its brakes and value gear
Brakes? Don't make me laugh!
Michael - I wonder if you are still reading comments relating to your excellent work ? . . I just have one major issue, and I understand that you are not an engineer or enthusiast - but your concept of steam generation and supply / exhaust to / from the cylinder is far too complex and in error. You have studied the drawings but I cannot understand why you have not included the return-tube flue, and perhaps the most important component - Trevithick's 4-way plug cock (you actually show this on your animation, but it appears to have no function)! . . The actual working of the cylinder and piston was a great deal simpler than your wonderfully complicated graphic - and don't forget that this machine had to be made in a small forge with little facility to produce tappings or lengthy channels through cast-iron components. . . The actual, working replica loco at Ironbridge shows the simple mechanism operating the plug-cock.
Yes I do still read them Anthony - and you have just opened a can of worms I myself encountered when producing the video for the Puffing Devil in which I had to combine drawings produced from the partial remains of a Trevithick Static Engine and those produced by the Trevithick Society who built two replica engines - which included all the modern H&S regulations and restrictions. What I discovered during this process - was - Even the Experts can't agree on anything. It was interesting to learn from the Trevithick Society - that H&S Regulations forced them to modify/alter/ignore/fake many elements of the replicas they produced. Notwithstanding, I do cover - at some length, the 4 way valve system in the Puffing Devil video - was it of Trevithick Design !!! - I'm leaving that argument for the so-called experts to resolve ;)
This is a wonderful video, with excellent illustrations., But the audio is ABYSMAL... sounds like the narrator is down at the bottom of a well. It it possible to re-narrate the video, using good audio engineering?
I would check your equipment - as a professional video and CGI producer, I use only the most hi-speck equipment. Now a good clue to the audio quality is to read the comments below, and their lack of reference to the audio..... Beyond that, I'm pleased you enjoyed it ;)
