I didn't start using TH-cam until I was a senior in 2010.. I've never even thought of how convenient it must be for school to have a video essay on every possible subject ever.
I found it interesting and well done. Being an engineer, though, I want more detail! There are so many components to a late model locomotive and I want to know about them all!
There isnt much else to say. Except for the valve gear. On earlier engine, there are two sets of essentrics, 175-180 degrees apart. One is for forward and the other is for reverse. Later link motion valve gears allowed steam tk be cut off at higher speeds, which allowed smaller amounts of steam to use much more energy and saves more steam from being spent.
Same, there are some interestring details, like latest Czech locomotives have three pistons (th-cam.com/video/gz2xKRIehDc/w-d-xo.html), two chimneys, Trofimov valves that are freely moving on the rod when steam pressure is not applied (idle) reducing moving mass, there some interesting details like superheating steam, water pockets in boiler and last part which i do not understand is kinematics of linkage system (to make it worse, it has to work with dumping and train must be able to turn ... and someone had to design it without computers more than 100 years ago. It surprises me that people were able to design very complicated mechanic machines whereas today we are trying to replace everything by electronics with no moving parts (take drone with complicated and rapidly reacting regulation and simple brushless motors vs helicopter with tilting rotor blades)
What you have shown is a *Portable Engine* , not a traction engine. The main difference is that a portable engine lacks a drivetrain, so it is not self propelled. They were moved by horses to wherever they where needed. Traction engines came later when portable engines were modified or redesigned with steering systems, fuel and water storage, operator's platforms, and most importantly, a drivetrain to the rear wheels.
Lol, I just said the same thing in a different comment. I help operate portable steam engines and traction engines. I have a video of it on my channel. It’s called Fall Steam day 2019. I also have a video of me running a steam roller.
Yeah, at the museum I work at, what you were calling a reaction engine, we call a porta-boiler. They were not self propelled and were usually horse drawn.
2:16 This is not a traction engine. it is a portable engine used for powering machinery using a belt off of the flywheel. it does not have the driving gear to move itself. they have a drawbar hitch on the front that is hitched to a traction engine to move it. And as for the steam being trapped inside the boiler, every steam powered machine has to have a safety mechanism on it. on a boiler is a safety valve witch will open at the maximum safe working pressure releasing excess steam so it does not put the boiler under strain and risk it having an explosion.
Well explained. Without wanting to sound negative these types of engines were only a few percent efficient. Most of the energy was lost as heat and only a part of the potential energy in the steam was converted into work. Having said that-- These must be the most exciting and inspiring engines ever devised.
@@thecyberexplorer1265 Your point being???? Why would I need any patents in my name to mention the efficiency of steam engines and why would you need to need to suggest this is in some way "awkward"?
@@jonka1 even centuries later steam engines r still our most powerful source of power we have for mechanical energy purposes. Steam locomotives r around 6 times the power of any of its strongest competitors. And a steam traction engine of over 100yo is as or more powerful than our current best 4 wheel drive diesel tractors of the same size. Using the technology we’ve discovered and invented in the past century we cud modernize the steam engine to a point where we wud be using hardwood chip fuelled steam engines instead of gas, diesel, oil, propane or anything else fuelled engines. It wud simply be able to easily outperform everything else we got even more than it already does. And with how steam engines r wat is used to launch aircrafts off of aircraft carriers at such extreme force and r also used in nuclear power plants.
The principle on which the steam engine operates is so simple a child of seven or eight years can grasp it readily. The details of making it work reliably, with a tolerable maintenance burden and with slightly better than dismal efficiency filled the careers of mechanical engineers for a century.
@@shrinidhi6920 I'll do one on heat soon. I don't know if I'll really lay out the 3 laws + 0th, like they do in classrooms, but it will be a good episode.
This is fascinating. The principles are probably somewhat similar to how our cars operate today, only using combustion instead of steam. Its all very interesting.
Steam is external combustion, the steam is continuous and shuttled through valves to push on either side of the piston. A gas or diesel engine is INTERNAL combustion, the fuel ignites and pushes on only the one side of the piston. The valves are timed to let fuel/air mixture in and exhaust out, so different ways to accomplish the motion of the flywheel
Both steam engines and modern internal combustion engines are heat engines so they are fundamentally similar. The only engines we regularly use that aren't heat engines are electric engines, and that's why they're so dramatically more efficient than all forms of heat engines. This is also why sustainable power sources like wind, solar and hydro are so efficient, they are not heat engines so have an intrinsic advantage when compared to fossil fuels and nuclear power.
Thank you so much! For the longest time I’ve been trying to make a compressed air engine out of Lego and this video is the reason I was able to do so! It showed me how important a flywheel is and that is the one thing my invention lacked. Again thank you!
i got so emotiional thinking that humans saw steam and decided to investigate its power and eventually use it to turn a wheel and ride a carriage. This is OG science moment. i love it
1:06 Did you just glance over Richard Trevithick? One of the greatest engineers who showed that a steam machine can move on it's own and even built the first steam locomotive.
Thank you for teaching about these engine design in such a creative way. Now I actually know how Thermodynamics was discovered and used. Wish these concepts were taught in School as well
Going to the steam show this weekend to watch live demonstrations mostly on farm equipment. Riding the two stroke motorcycle there so i should be viewed as a "greener" spectator as our cloud of oil comes rolling in to the soot filled fairgrounds.
In some sense, a light water reactor is a Newcomen engine of nuclear reactors. Whereas a molten salt reactor is the nuclear equivalent of an ICE, in relative fuel efficiency and compactness. And it's finally on its way to getting commercialized.
way to go! I really like the illustrations of how to change the molecules' pattern of bouncing around . I also really liked the thought bubbles of what those people, our ancestors, were thinking
@@Nexalian_Gamer it’s kinda hard to explain without you having prior knowledge, but just look up “New York Central J3a”. It’s the loco this model is based on.
Great video and visuals... Only nitpick is that kilograms are NOT a unit of force or weight, but of mass (whereas in english units, you can have lbs force/weight, or less commonly, lbs mass).
Thermodynamics, the statement be "engineers learned to extract energy from HEAT" not FIRE. I get that these old steam engines use a fuel source that burns aka fire, Wood, Coal, Fuel-Oil, etc... but other fuel sources are used to boil water, like any Nuclear power plant and no fire is involved in that.
The first part was amazing. I learned a lot. The last part of the video was, in my opinion, unnecessary because we're learning about steam engines, not global warming propaganda.
Very informative video. The only section that I think could use some tweaking is when you discussed the chugga chugga sound. You did mention it, thank you but a direct correlation showing the valve moving and venting to the stack with a slow motion at first and then increasing. I think most of us get it now, just an aid. Thank you.
altho burnng coal did have an effect on the climate, you you look at graphs the problems really rocketed when diesel and petrol started to take over in the 50s and 60s. for cars, rail, and everything really. coal smoke is mainly visible particles that fall back down to earth
Think it was a bit before the 50s and 60's for cars! and the London Smog was made mainly by peoples home fires not transport...ok, maybe the railways added as well then

Branch Education My favorite things about what I like about the steam locomotives are (1) Most of them just only have one tender behind the cab, (2) Most of them have leading wheels, driving wheels, and trailing wheels; (3) Most of them are fueled by coal and water, (4) I like to watch the engineer blowing a whistle to the let people know that they're coming, and (5) I like to watch the fireman shovel coal into the boiler with fire inside which makes a lot of steam coming out of the smoke stack straight out of the cylinders (with pistons on the inside) connecting to the rods.
We were not put at great risk because of the burning of coal. I hope none of you train enthusiasts feel at risk while watching this video. We are safer and healthier because of the amazing invention of the steam engine and the materials they have hauled which were used to build sewers, hospitals, and other materials that advanced society for the better. Air quality is very good right now and the discussion of it should not hamper the steam engine. They had soul, looks, and personalities. Mankind were destined to have them and coal was put in the ground for us to use. Thank you for the informative video.
it was definitely a great technology for its time and very smart to get life of tech started and as we know it today just like all great technology tho we improve over time and move on to bigger and greater things but its always good to know the history that started it all
I remember a documentary on a steam engine that worked in a different principle, but I can't find it. From what I remember it worked by spraying cold water into the cylinder at the end of the expansion cycle and the rapid change in pressure pulled the piston in, instead of a high pressure pushing out. Never mind, I found it: The atmospheric engine was invented by Thomas Newcomen in 1712

The superheater is a pretty neat invention for locomotives(steam locomotives to me are just one great compilation of inventions really, engineered w/ 0 computers, nothing else quite compares), creates even higher pressure steam then what would be used coming straight out of the boiler. And something thats also pretty neat is, trying to picture the steam inside a locomotive being so hot, its entirely invisible until it hits atmosphere. Which is something interesting to compare to the normal "steam" you would think coming from tea pots etc..
A lot of the inventions of the steam engine start to seem a lot less complex when you learn about thermodynamics. Like they're definitely impressive but thermodynamics is just such a powerful tool for examining machines of all kinds that it quickly guides you in the direction of the best designs. Like ideas like the steam turbine follow quite naturally from a thermodynamic examination of the steam piston.
Bro this is really interesting and educational I hope we can live in a future where we can invent stuff as influential as this without hurting something like the enviorment or people
This is a very nice, very well build, explained and visualised video. Great work! It is unfortunate, that it ends with claims without arguments. I highly encourage You to make a separate video on the present and future of ingeneering, instead of cramming it at the end of other videos. It is kind of an antiklimax to the very pleasant factographic tone of the rest of the video :)
The video makes blanket statements without backing it up with evidence. Climate change science has become so political and biased, that its almost impossible to get accurate information regarding anything related to it.
@@dasparado And it would also be good to know how cobalt (the mineral used to make batteries) is extracted and by kids. th-cam.com/video/JcJ8me22NVs/w-d-xo.html
I like this video ... for the most part. I particularly like the molecular level explanation of how steam exerts force. But it suffers from a common problem regarding what measuring system is being used. I'm assuming that when the narrator talks about force being in Kilograms he is not using a gravitational metric system - assuming that such a thing even exists. He likely meant to say Newtons of force. In what used to be the standard metric system - the Meter Kilogram Second system, a Kilogram is a unit of mass - not force. The unit of force in that system is the Newton. It is sorta the same as saying pound in the Foot Pound Seconds system where force is in Pounds and mass is in Poundals. Here endeth the lesson. Thanks for a very good video.
Seriously, considering the level at which this is pitched, pointing out that kg is not - technically - a measure of force, is excessively pedantic. Yes, it may be that from the point of view of a physicist, 9.8 Newtons and 1kg are not the same, but for all practical purposes, including YT videos explaining how steam engines work, it is. Likewise when it is pressing on your foot, it is too. Do you, personally, go around telling people they don't actually 'weigh' 80kg, because, as you know, weight and mass aren't technically the same, and the scales measure force not mass??
These models are amazing. Props to the animator(s).

The superheater is a pretty neat invention for locomotives(steam locomotives to me are just one great compilation of inventions really, engineered w/ 0 computers, nothing else quite compares), creates even higher pressure steam then what would be used coming straight out of the boiler. And something thats also pretty neat is, trying to picture the steam inside a locomotive being so hot, its entirely invisible until it hits atmosphere. Which is something interesting to compare to the normal "steam" you would think coming from tea pots etc..
A lot of the inventions of the steam engine start to seem a lot less complex when you learn about thermodynamics. Like they're definitely impressive but thermodynamics is just such a powerful tool for examining machines of all kinds that it quickly guides you in the direction of the best designs. Like ideas like the steam turbine follow quite naturally from a thermodynamic examination of the steam piston.
Thank you.
this helps a lot with work and you can learn lots from it
Been wondering about that for years. Thanx
Bro this is really interesting and educational
I hope we can live in a future where we can invent stuff as influential as this without hurting something like the enviorment or people
Beautiful models, thank your for the information
Great job, particularly the graphics.
great video
I Love Steam Engines
This is a very nice, very well build, explained and visualised video.
Great work!
It is unfortunate, that it ends with claims without arguments. I highly encourage You to make a separate video on the present and future of ingeneering, instead of cramming it at the end of other videos.
It is kind of an antiklimax to the very pleasant factographic tone of the rest of the video :)
Now that's a lot of force
Could do without the "Green" narrative at the end.
The video makes blanket statements without backing it up with evidence. Climate change science has become so political and biased, that its almost impossible to get accurate information regarding anything related to it.
And it would also be good to know how cobalt (the mineral used to make batteries) is extracted and by kids. th-cam.com/video/JcJ8me22NVs/w-d-xo.html

How dare you
I do agree it's a massive scam.
Is that because it’s true
Good video, increase the volume
Amazing!
I like this video ... for the most part. I particularly like the molecular level explanation of how steam exerts force. But it suffers from a common problem regarding what measuring system is being used. I'm assuming that when the narrator talks about force being in Kilograms he is not using a gravitational metric system - assuming that such a thing even exists. He likely meant to say Newtons of force. In what used to be the standard metric system - the Meter Kilogram Second system, a Kilogram is a unit of mass - not force. The unit of force in that system is the Newton. It is sorta the same as saying pound in the Foot Pound Seconds system where force is in Pounds and mass is in Poundals. Here endeth the lesson. Thanks for a very good video.
Seriously, considering the level at which this is pitched, pointing out that kg is not - technically - a measure of force, is excessively pedantic. Yes, it may be that from the point of view of a physicist, 9.8 Newtons and 1kg are not the same, but for all practical purposes, including YT videos explaining how steam engines work, it is. Likewise when it is pressing on your foot, it is too. Do you, personally, go around telling people they don't actually 'weigh' 80kg, because, as you know, weight and mass aren't technically the same, and the scales measure force not mass??
