How does a big clock like this work? Museum Volunteer Dick Koolish goes over the very basics.

Super crazy that Boston Dynamics is now owned by a foreign Asisn company
Came over here while The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins
Sounds amazing!
What is cavitation?
3 parts. They are useless without the housing
Rare concert performance by the Great TRONZO and Mike Rivard on the Guimbri ! Your not in Kansas any more .
I doubt your history
No it was such an easy job it was created for women because it didn't take that much intelligence. Stop lieing.
Some men in foreign call centers still do curse at callers !
Thank you Chris .. you’ll probably never see this but hey … I was bowled over and blessed 🤗🐚
Thanks again Daniel

57:40 This assumes that Charles Dickens wrote "A Christmas Carol." I've discovered, after 15 years of intensive independent research, that he was not the original author. Rather, I've concluded that it was written by an American couple named Mathew Franklin Whittier and Abby Poyen Whittier, in 1838-39. According to the scenario I've extrapolated from the evidence, Mathew would have handed the manuscript to Dickens in Boston, in Jan. 1842 (Dickens acknowledged a letter from him not long afterwards, while still on his tour). In the fall of 1843, Dickens was in serious financial trouble, and neede some quick cash. He conceived what he privately referred to as a "little scheme," which was to hurriedly secularize and sensational Mathew and Abby's spiritualist redemption novella, into a "Ghost Story of Christmas."
Looking for more such talks 👍
this is very good for our young people to learn as much of these things as possible our world will depend on if. thank you sir. and thank you to Charles River Museum of industry & innovation.
Beneficial
Reading “Death’s End” by Cixin Lin brought me here…! ☂️
What a incredible player and wordsmith
This would be way better if there was an actual audience.
that's smart
RIP
You TOO, could be as wildly popular as the Sacramento History Museum's channel, and their printing department videos, if you make more content. PAPER BAGS, PAPER BAGS, PAPER BAGS!
I would like to hear the clatter if the belts and all of the machines engaged and doing thier jobs. Time travel back
Come by the Museum sometime and we'll run them for you!
The description of how a triple expansion engine works doesn't seem to be quite right. I'm aware that there are different types of triple expansion engine, but this one looks a lot like the Stuart Triple Expansion engine I've been building for the last couple of years, which is a receiver type. The condenser has nothing to do with the low or intermediate pressure cylinders. Partial condensation of steam seems to defeat the object of the engine's design. In the high pressure cylinder, heat in the steam is converted to work, it expands and its pressure drops. By means of a valve, steam exhausted from the high pressure cylinder is piped through to the intermediate cylinder valve chest. In the intermediate pressure cylinder, heat in the steam is converted to work, it expands and its pressure drops. By means of a valve, steam exhausted from the intermediate pressure cylinder is piped through to the low pressure cylinder valve chest. In the low pressure cylinder, heat in the steam is converted to work, it expands and its pressure drops. The exhaust from the low pressure cylinder may be piped to a condenser, in order to improve efficiency and to recover water. The relative volume and pressure of steam entering each cylinder is controlled by designing the volume of each cylinder, steam transfer pipe & steam chest (receiver) and by valve timing. I can't see a pipe taking steam from the high pressure cylinder to the condenser. But neither can I see a pipe from the high pressure exhaust to the intermediate cylinder steam chest which could be internal. Having built the Stuart Compound Launch engine which is a double rather than triple expansion engine, I can assure you that it doesn't need a condenser for it to run. If it did, it wouldn't be able to run on compressed air.
Man, I was living down the street in Belmont at the time. Such a shame I missed this.
Wow! Such unique, original, and beautiful music.
I speculate that Butler was the collection man for Carney and the bankers. They wouldn't give it to Andrews. I suspect Butler brokered a loan deal that had the north and south co-sign for each others war loans. It gets paid no matter who wins. The bankers wanted brigadier general Butler over seeing things. That's how I see it.
I read it was invented by Christiaan huygen??🤔🤔
57:19 sexy😍😍
Still used in many engines .... Very smart invention by James Watt
I saw their show last night...it really was awesome! I wonder if it was recorded as this show was...
Amazing........
Came here after reading about it in The Selfish Gene

what were the belts made of?
They are leather. Easy to repair or replace.
This is the only live footage I've found of Chris playing "I'll Take It All". For me, this little song articulates the despair and hopelessness of alcoholism better than any I've heard. In fact, it helped me get my mind around it and is an anthem of my recovery. The halo may never show, but it's there and more often than not, I know how my days unfold. Chris' music can do that.
Happy Birthday Super Great Ultra Badass Archangel of Christ Ireland Scotland England America China and the world the incomparable Chris Smither who invented an amalgamation of everything America had for him to re-interpret with his singular cosmic guitar style foot stomping head waving blues killin' badass soul.

What a fabulous video! Thankyou :) Great to see Todds' workbench full of engines and tools, looks similarly chaotic as my own bench top :)
I saw Chris live at New Orleans Jazz Fest years ago, but I actually know all these songs because I have this album. He’s an amazing musician which comes by singing from the soul and baring one’s heart. 💙
Damn! I wish I had discovered Smither so much earlier. "Origin of Spedces" is a gem
Jackshafts existed well into the 1960's. Western Electric still had jackshaft driven OD/ID grinders when my father apprenticed in 1959.
1:10. How the heck does that sideways turned belt stay aligned on the pulleys???
Alignment is a relative term here. They can shift a bit here and there, as long as they stay engaged. That is part of the beauty of the simplicity of the system. It comes down to friction (to drive) and tension (to stay engaged).
And the pulleys are not flat but convex shaped, so they automatically ride where there is least resistance.
Fuckin wow
Fuckin beautiful
This is the most interesting presentation on this subject I've seen... Thanks.
I’m not going to be respectful unless I see all the vacuum cleaners
What a band! Can't believe they found this energy during such a difficult time.
I am in the process of building a welding, fabrication,foundry and light machine shop to support working on pre war race cars from the US , Britain, Germany and Italy with a lot more. Every part for nearly every car has to be made special. I hope to be able to run the shop with steam including electrical generation.
13:12 😊👍...especially in micro power generation and other similar scale applications !
