Jan Ridders (Roosendaal, 1941) is a Dutch machinist, engineer and machine designer. [1]Ridders' designs, freely distributed, [2] along with assistance to engineers building these motors, has brought him world reputation. [3]
An oscillating cylinder engine cannot be reversed by means of the valve linkage (as in a normal fixed cylinder) because there is none. Reversing of the engine can be achieved by reversing the steam connections between inlet and exhaust or, in the case of small engines, by shifting the trunnion pivot point so that the port in the cylinder lines up with a different pair of ports in the port face.
Edward "Ted" Pritchard (28 August 1930 – 16 August 2007) was an Australian mechanical engineer, inventor and developer of small scale modern steam engines.Pritchard was obsessed by the virtues of modern steam as compared to the internal combustion engine.
The Cyclone Mark V Engine is a steam engine in which the engine, steam generator, condenser and feed pump are integrated into a single compact unit. The company Cyclone Power Technologies of Pompano Beach, Florida was founded by inventor Harry Schoell to develop and market this engine.
A steam engine is a heat engine that performs mechanical work using steam as its working fluid. The steam engine uses the force produced by steam pressure to push a piston back and forth inside a cylinder. This pushing force can be transformed by a connecting rod and crank into rotational force for work.
Russell & Co reportedly started building steam traction engines after their 1878 incorporation, and by 1880, they employed 425 people on a seven acre site, with their own railroad sidetrack. [3] By 1884, they had become one of the largest producers of steam traction engines, plus building industrial, railroad and agricultural equipment. [2]
No. 2816 was one of ten H1b-class (Nos. 2810-2819) (the "H" meant the 4-6-4 wheel configuration, the "1" was the design number and the "b" meant it was the second production run) 4-6-4 Hudson-types built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in December 1930, at a cost of $116,555 each.
Beam engine in 1982. The engine was built in 1833, using parts, including the beam, from a Boulton and Watt engine supplied to Hadden's Aberdeen factory in 1805. [6] The engine has a single vertical cylinder with an 18-inch bore. Steam acts on both sides of the piston and is controlled by a slide valve assembly on the side of the cylinder.
