Modern Engines and Power Generators, Vol. 3 (Classic Reprint): A Practical Work on Prime Movers and the Transmission of Power, Steam, Electric, Water ... Electric, Water and Hot Air (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Explore the cutting edge of early engine design and practical power
Delve into a practical survey of gas, oil, and steam engines as they stood at the dawn of modern power generation. This volume covers key designs, from Campbell’s gas and oil engines to advanced two‑piston concepts, with clear diagrams and notes on construction, operation, and new ideas for traction, stationary, and marine use.
The book presents real‑world descriptions of how engines start, govern, and run under varying loads, including how compressed air and vaporisers enable self‑starting oil engines and how exhaust, intake, and valve systems work in modern practice. It also surveys emerging engine formats and the evolving outlook for gas producer engines, two‑stroke concepts, and marine propulsion.
What you’ll experience
- Descriptions of notable engines and their mechanical features, with emphasis on reliability and performance
- Explanations of starting methods, governing systems, and fuel considerations for oil, petrol, and gas engines
- Comparisons of gas vs. steam power and the implications for future power plants and traction
- Illustrations and notes on practical considerations, maintenance, and future directions
Ideal for readers of early 20th‑century engineering, industrial history, and those seeking a grounded, non‑fiction look at how prime movers shaped power transmission and transportation.
