Clipart images of methods to produce power by steam, including the coal-powered steam engine often seen on early trains and steamboats.


Accumulator, Interior View of Rateau
"The accumulator may consist of a large tank in which are numerous plates over which water can flow, or may contain simply water rapidly circulated by artificial means. As the exhaust steam from the e...
Apparatus, Steam Force Measurement
"Suppose a hollow cube to be filled with some fluid (water or steam) at a given pressure, and to have an opening in one side that can readily be closed. The arrangement is such that when the outlet is...
Boiler Yorkshire Steam Wagon
A Yorkshire steam wagon transverse boiler. Water is continuously enters the large cylindrical container. The water heating is provided by burning coal in the furnance....
Brancas Engine
"In 1629 Giovanni Branca, an Italian, contrived a machine which was employed for the various purposes of raising water, of sawing timber and pounding materials. His machine consisted of a wheel furni...
Brumbo Pulley, Reducing Motion
A pulley system used to reduce motion between the piston and the indicator of the steam engine. The indicator is attached by a string on the curved bottom triangle. As the piston moves, the string is ...
Center, Steam Engine Valve
"It is usual to put the engine on center before setting the valve. First put the engine in a position where the piston has nearly completed the outward stroke, and make a mark M on the guide opposite ...
Centrifugal mill
"The upright cyclinder a, is a tube which has a funnel shaped mouth for the admission of the stream of water from the pipe b. This tube is six or eight inches in diameter, and may be from ten to twen...
Conduction Demonstration With Two Gas Jets
"If a piece of wire gauze is held over an unlighted gas jet, the gas may be lighted on either side (figure 6), but the flame will not pass through the meshes. The wires conduct the heat away so rapidl...
Crane, Steam
"A Crane is a machine for lifting weights, worked either by hand or by steam, or by hydraulic power. The most common hand form consisting of an upright revolving post and projecting arm, the jib with ...
Curtis Turbine, Step Bearing of
"The upper bearing with dowel—pins and key fit into corresponding dowel holes and key—way in the bottom of the shaft, and rotate with it. When the oil is supplied to the bearing, under a h...
Cylinder, Mechanical Drawing of a Metal
"Steam is admitted under pressure for a boiler into a metal cylinder behind a piston, as represented in figure 14. Its pressure drives the piston forward, doing useful work. When the piston has moved ...
Diagram, Vaporization
An illustration of thermodynamic vaporization of water in a cylinder with piston. The cylinder filled with water is heated, and gradually turns into the vapor. As the water is heated, the piston moves...
Engine, Bentley Eight Cylinder
A eight cylinder Bentley superheated steam engine fitted to a tractor. The steam is used to move the piston....
Engine, Compact Double Acting Superheated
"In this engine the cam—shaft by which the steam and exhaust valves are operated is situated midway of the shaft." —Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1910...
Engine, Reynolds Corliss Gear Steam
"An eccentric on the main shaft gives an oscillating motion to a circular disc called the wrist plate, pivoted at the center of the cylinder. It transmits motion to each of the four valves through adj...
Engine, Savory's
"Handle A opens and closes valves B and G. Steam is injected through pipe S which flushes any air/water out of C. G is closed and cold water enters through I causing a vacuum drawing water up through ...
Engine, steam
"The steam engine is a powerful device for utilizing the energy involved in the elasticity and expansive force of steam as a motive power. It is a real heat-engine, transforming heat into mechanical ...
Engine, Steam Rotary
An illustration of a rotary steam engine. The steam turbine system was invented by Branca in 1629. Steam spins the turbine to turn a series of gears, generating power....
Engine, Twin Cylinder Steam
Illustration showing a twin cylinder steam engine fitted to a sentinel wagon. The steam expands and compresses as the piston oscillates. This oscillation rotates both the piston shaft and cam shaft, a...
Engine, U.S.S Salem Steam
"The marine turbine of this type (Curtis turbine) installed in the U.S. Cruiser Salem had seven pressure stages with four velocity steps in the first stage, and three in each of the others. Steam pass...
Engine, Watt's
"Used a boiler to produce steam, chambers to condense it, and drive the pistons of the engine." —Quackenbos 1859...
First Locomotive, George Stephenson's
"George Stephenson is emphatically the engineer to whose intelligence and perseverance we owe the introduction of railroads into England, and consequently into the United States. It was at Killingwort...
Force Measurement by Deflecting Water Jet 180 Degrees
"Now if the plate were shaped as shown, so that the direction of the jet were completely reversed turned through 180 degrees, there would be an additional pressure on the plate, due to the reaction of...
Force Pump, Steam-engine
"The force-pump differs from others in having its piston solid, or without a valve, and also in having a side pipe with a valve opening outwards, through which the water is forced to any height requir...
Four Stage Vertical Riedler Stumpf Turbine
A cross sectional view of a four stage vertical Riedler—Stumpf turbine. The steam enters and exit, indicated by the arrows. The steam spins a series of turbines located in the middle at a high p...
