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. How we worship you The Colvin Family November 11, 2023 - Armistice Day In loving memory of the 20 million killed in WW I - total deaths including civilians 80 million in WW II 2 million 300 thousand in Korea 1 million 363 thousand in Vietnam all the fallen in the Middle East Armistice Day In honor of all who serve Thank you for the lives you save and the freedoms your love gave Warriors for the good the good of humankind the kind of courage that would give their lives for us anytime they'd do more if they could 'Our' great warriors of America We are so grateful for all you've done and we're ready to give back to every American daughter and son that braved an enemy attack to help you heal till you can celebrate yourselves with us your courage and your zeal We worship adore and cherish each and every one of you and we'll never forget all the trauma you went through the blood the gore with you we will ask "what for" and we'll call them to task when they're called to answer the questions they'll ask will not alter 'Our' course as we help rebuild your pride and you'll all get rides in the parades where freedom in America and the World resides safe in the bosom of peace and love for 'Our' great sisters and brothers who rise above that fight for us all we will accept no others we celebrate those not afraid of the fall we will stand with and uphold you all and you will get your benefits and those cowards never will prevail that try to deny what you won with courage 'Our' birthright 'Our' heritage you all wear the heroes badge we will fight with you all the way and we will celebrate you all on 'Armistice Day' With love and deep gratitude, The Colvin Family Chris Smither Dylan Geoff Bartley
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.

Como puedo comunicarme con usted
YOU GIVE ME THE SAME VIBES AS LISTENING TO JOAN BAEZ I LOVE YOUR VOICE !!
Inspiring me into this intricate hobby. Many thanks. Paul. Liverpool UK
Charlie you sound great your performer Callie did a great job
Very informative vdieo. Thank you for sharing.
The Little Wonder was manufactured by the Beck Manufacturing Company of New York and West Haven Connecticut.
Thanks for your response and interest. The little wonder that you refer to was a hand pump stick vacuum cleaner which is different than the one in this video.
Well Done!
Thanks You .
This is a really helpful video for understanding the fundamentals of mechanics with historical examples. Thanks so much
Flax fiber, Nettle (stinging nettle), Ramie, Hemp all have the fibers in the bark of the plant. The hard inner core is what we want to get rid of through breaking after retting. Interesting to hear about people heating the combs. Our use of hand made textiles is more hobby than trying to put clothing on the world. Im working on making my own linen shirt. After 5 years of spinning Im ready to give the loom a go for the next step in the process. I enjoyed this video.
It is interesting how were made first machine tools in times when there were no machine tools
3 bodies problem took me here😅
WONDERFUL!
WOW!
Nice
That Kotten one is incredible. Looks like something Nintendo might want to bring back. The Wii Fit + Clean.
There were identical models just like it before Kotten at the time as it what I did learned myself probably
