The last Saturday in April is TREVITHICK DAY in Camborne • LETTING OFF STEAM IN C... And in a field where competition is fierce, one vehicle is always the star of the show - the engine that changed the world. This replica built by the Trevithick Society first took to the roads in 2001.

@Cornishpastyman 7 лет назад

There are three braking systems on the engine. 1) You can put it in reverse which effectively brings it to a halt. 2) There is a wooden brake fitted to the rear wheels which is like what would have been fitted to wagons at the time. We call it the hand brake because we operate it by turning a handle on the floor of the front platform. 3) We fitted a modern brake to the flywheel which is operated by a foot pedal. It is very efficient and we use it to control the engine when in motion. It is easier to use that brake than to use the regulator to make small adjustments to the speed. This brake would not have been on the original engine but is needed for modern road conditions. Information supplied by The Trevithick Society trevithick-society.org.uk

@brianletter3545 Год назад

Indeed, not James Watt. Watt's engines needed a (bulky) condenser to work and they only had low pressure, needing large piston & cylinders. It was Trevithick that was able to make much higher pressure boilers that were far more suitable for traction of all kinds

As a Cornishman born and 'bred' in Cornwall it's history is one of innovation, creativity and so much more. I remember when in the military my Chief asking me where I came from and he smiled adding 'One of my best friends was a Cornishman and I'd serve with pride with any of them.' We're a breed apart in a lot of ways and yes I'm proud of my heritage.' It's one of the reason I truly feel sad at how we invented the railways and look at us now.. Some of the worlds finest engineers, builders, innovators and I hope NOW as a sovereign independent nation we can make our mark once again across the world. 👀👍

Why Watt gets the fame instead of Newcomen and Trevithick I don't know. Newcomen invented the first working steam engine (Watt only improved on it) and Trevethick the first working high pressure engine .as well as the first (really-) working automobiles. He invented and built the Puffing Devil in 1801??? Incredible.
