Dude, why did you title your video "Do Not Adjust Your Sound". Honestly I'm sorry but people please title your video's something that relates to the video. Something like "Antique hay bailing equipment running" makes a lot more sense than "Do Not Adjust Your Sound".
lets go back to the old ways they were better women did the laundry and blackes hoed the field and us white guys just had to go around beating everybody and taking the value of thir labor. yep the old ways sure were about an honest dauys work for an honest days pay. for you but not for us thats why were liberals and you guys lost cause there are more of us than you. want work pay for it otherwise shut the hell up. theres no free lunch for you either
I would really like to know more about these.. I did a project my Sophomore year on the Sterling engine, but I don't know much about steam.. Interesting..
...the men who made and/or worked these machines and the women who stood beside those men- Would be PISSED AS ALL HELL-FIRE IN RAGE!!- If they were still alive TODAY- To see what we HAVE ALLOWED to happen to this nation THEY HAD BUILT!! Just the fact that the American male has softened to the point of ALLOWING these POLITICO-FREAKS in DeeCee AND WICKED-BANKERS on Wall Street to get away with what they have done so far... as to DESTROY ALL WHICH THOSE MEN AND THESE GREAT MACHINES HAD DONE FOR US!
@SittingMooseShaman Yea. I would have to agree somewhat. Americans Killed America not just the rich. That's why I can't take this 99% BS seriously. I'm not on ether side. I tend to take the hard road. Why? Because I still know what Gratification feels like. I know others out there feel the same and were the minority. No one wants to work and if they do, not very hard. Killing Your TV and having respect for your self as well as others is the first step to recovery. I really believe that.
@BigEsGarage i am the .ooooooooooooo99% that is just one person. And i'll tell you why i dont want to work. mabey you get paid but i don't i can't afford to pay the cost of employment without gettinh anything back for it. i lived in a van and painted houses. i end up with less than minimum wage. I got a house no thanks to working and still painted because people want me too. i painted the costco but they didnt pay. so why work there not paying? even grandpa wouldn't dothat
The Nichols is a double simple engine; meaning that it has two cylinders which use steam one time, then it is exhausted. The pistons are pushed both ways, so in one revolution the engine has four power strokes. The engine noise you hear in this video is a John Deere tractor next to the steamer. It was an aggravation at the time, but it makes a good joke.
@douro20 In comparison to early models of petrol engines, the efficiency is non-comparable. Even many modern engines suffer more parasitic loss than even the simplest of steam engines. It's all down to application. You wouldn't use a steam engine in a racecar, so why would people use a gasoline engine to plow their land?
Yeah, I can definitely see why you'd want a longer inlet stroke if the throttle valve is down low. I haven't studied the valve gear on tractors or stationary engines too much, mostly that of steam locomotives, such as the Walschaerts...which has proportional early cut-off of both inlet and exhaust, causing pre-inlet compression (they say it prevents "shocking" the cylinder). It would be really deluxe to have independently and automatically controlled exhaust and inlet times.
There was a John Deere set up right nest to it. Why they could not have turned it off until after the treshing demo, I don't know. It's one of the trials of shooting video, so I just had fun with it. Thanks for writing!
Oh i see! Thanks for posting this! I've always found engines of all types fascinating. Especially High performance engines. Allot of people don't appreciate the sheer art form that these engines are!
Very Quiet. I was at a local show last year here in california and there was a steam engine coming up behind me. The only noise it made was from the tracks running across the ground
Why can't we have steam driven cars anymore? I'd take one ever electric easily!

@funtarded
Efficient? Hardly. However, steam power is cheap because any combustible fuel can be used to generate steam.
