Beam engine (original) (raw)

About DBpedia

A beam engine is a type of steam engine where a pivoted overhead beam is used to apply the force from a vertical piston to a vertical connecting rod. This configuration, with the engine directly driving a pump, was first used by Thomas Newcomen around 1705 to remove water from mines in Cornwall. The efficiency of the engines was improved by engineers including James Watt, who added a separate condenser; Jonathan Hornblower and Arthur Woolf, who compounded the cylinders; and William McNaught, who devised a method of compounding an existing engine. Beam engines were first used to pump water out of mines or into canals but could be used to pump water to supplement the flow for a waterwheel powering a mill.

dbo:abstract A beam engine is a type of steam engine where a pivoted overhead beam is used to apply the force from a vertical piston to a vertical connecting rod. This configuration, with the engine directly driving a pump, was first used by Thomas Newcomen around 1705 to remove water from mines in Cornwall. The efficiency of the engines was improved by engineers including James Watt, who added a separate condenser; Jonathan Hornblower and Arthur Woolf, who compounded the cylinders; and William McNaught, who devised a method of compounding an existing engine. Beam engines were first used to pump water out of mines or into canals but could be used to pump water to supplement the flow for a waterwheel powering a mill. The rotative beam engine is a later design of beam engine where the connecting rod drives a flywheel by means of a crank (or, historically, by means of a sun and planet gear). These beam engines could be used to directly power the line-shafting in a mill. They also could be used to power steam ships. (en) Un motor de balancín es un tipo de máquina de vapor donde se usa una viga superior pivotante para aplicar la fuerza de un pistón vertical a una biela también vertical. Esta configuración, con el motor accionando directamente una bomba, fue utilizada por primera vez por Thomas Newcomen alrededor de 1705 para eliminar el agua de las minas en Cornualles. La eficiencia de los motores fue mejorada por ingenieros como James Watt, quien agregó un condensador separado; Jonathan Hornblower y Arthur Woolf, que combinaron cilindros; y William McNaught, quien ideó un método para transformar un motor ya existente en uno compuesto. Los motores de balancín se usaron por primera vez para bombear agua de minas o canales, pero también se usaron para bombear agua con el fin de complementar el flujo de las ruedas hidráulicas que alimentaban los molinos. El motor de balancín rotativo es un diseño posterior en el que la biela acciona un volante de inercia por medio de una manivela (o, históricamente, por medio de un engranaje sol y planeta). Estos motores podían usarse para alimentar directamente el eje de línea principal de las máquinas de un taller. También podían usarse para impulsar barcos de vapor. (es)
