#AnsonEngineMuseum #Museum #Engine #Steam Footage from my recent trip to the Anson Engine Museum. A huge collection of steam, oil, diesel, and petrol engines of all shapes and sizes. enginemuseum.org en.wikipedia.o...
What a fantastic museum, and collection of engines. They look very well kept. I love to see them running as they should too. Worth the journey for sure. Thanks for making and sharing!
How fascinating. People were much cleverer 100 years ago.There were no electronics to operate these engines, only engineuity (pun intended). One of the smallest engines made is a CO2 engine, 1 cubic milimeter capacity by Gasparin of eastern Europe. The piston is is as small as a pin head. I have a model diesel (compression ignition) engine of 0.05 cc, that is 1/20th of a cubic centimeter made by Rudolf Valentine of Germany. No doubt extreme precision is required during manufacture to justify the cost. Thanks for posting mate.
@@mrbunchofcells Do you have a better solution thinking with the mind of a hundred years ago not with todays solutions!!! Watts parallel motion was a breakthrough at that time:-)
@@johnhili8664 It's marvellous ingenious excellent huge respect for the inventor! But do "I" have a better solution? Just look at any steam engines that were used to drive trains
15.20 you can see exactly how the governor works ! every time the valve is activated the motor speeds up and the centrifugal balls lift that pin up . cool !
The museum's website seems to imply it is only open Friday, Sat & Sun - it's very confusing - surely the times open and location should be clear on the front page
Hi, it is in Poynton in Cheshire. That first engine was my favourite. Love the gothic frame. The frame also was used to pipe the steam in and out. If you look to the right of the frame there is a valve, which is the inlet. The steam then goes down the leg of the arch and into the underside where it passes through the valve box. The exhaust steam goes back up the left leg of the frame. Fantastic bit of engineering and casting. The frame and base are one casting. If you get the chance it is well worth going to.
@@m0xya Absolutely brilliant. Atmospheric engines still captivate me. Imagine what they must have seemed like in the late 18th century. A thing moving by itself. What a legacy we in this country have given to the world.
born and raised in poynton. there's actually a photograph of my great grandfather in there. he drove trains for the mines. tgis brings lots of memories
