@Arabhacks yeah, not to mention impurities in the water does funny things to metal when applied at a high sustained pressure... much of the water is purified through boiling, which demands alot of energy and alot of extra equipment to create it.
@Arabhacks true, but steam is still interesting to run one of these off. You get that warm fuzzy feeling insie when you get a compound steam engine to run on what it was originally designed for.
Titanic's reciprocating steam engines were RELICS. All other luxury liners in
her day were built with turbines, but Titanic was built for ONE TRIP ONLY and ONE PURPOSE ONLY, to drown rich people who were in opposition to the newly proposed PRIVATE ILLEGAL "Federal Reserve System" in the U.S.
For this primary purpose Titanic fit the Rothschild bankers' bill PERFECTLY.
Titanic was sunk in 1912, the opposition was dead, & the FED was sneaked
thru in 1913, with PURE MISERY FOR US EVER SINCE.
@Infinitrium 4freespeech is probably correct....your countries financial miseries right now are largely due to the federal reserve- by the way- it s not even government owned or affiliated--do the research- its a private org.
@porpoisefathom Okay, for real please dont talking complete crap about United States and her "financial miseries" like if your going to continue than get off of a website created by United States and owned by google U.S. Buissneses - msnbc.com.
@buffsummers22 not saying anything bad about you or your country--just noting an observation - or i suppose my comments shouldnt get posted according to you simply because you dont like what i have to say??if so you are perfectly within your rights to ignore my comments...btw the united states did not create google- or youtube- business men did. who happened to live in the u.s. whats your point?
@4freespeech Wow! What have YOU been smoking? They don't let you out but still bring drugs? Don't get mad, I just don't understand such convoluted walk arounds to justify theories. The Titanic was cheaply made where passengers couldn't see, but very well made where they walked around, the ballroom etc. The Fed is wrong wrong wrong, no doubt about it, it should also be sunk, but the two are unrelated.
@partsproduction While the 4freespeech guy is crazy, I must say the titanic was not cheap anywhere, it was the most luxurious ship ever made at the time, the biggest, and a mighty fast one, even the third class rooms were said to be the best in the industry, so the ship was as well made as possible except with one big detail... the rudder, other ships at the time had more efficient rudders, the titanic´s rudder was way too small, and well they didnt test it properly :/
@4freespeech Okay, so why wouldnt they instead put reciprocating steam engines that were relics on the RMS Olympic which had gained much more fame and had many more passengers her maiden voyage than Titanic a year before? It doesnt add up. The Olympic was said to be the best of the fleet so therefore wouldnt one think that more people were willing to travel on her than her sister ship who was not published with such high ratings? Therefore your theory doesnt even back you up. What so ever.
@4freespeech Relics? Yet they were the largest ever built? Turbine technology was in it's infancy then. All other ships which used turbines of the time were said to be very uncomfortable to ride even though they were fast. Turbines also could not be reversed. Why use a technology which is new and unrefined instead of a tried and true technology that is easily the most reliable? Olympic had reciprocating engines through her entire career yet she served her entire career without a breakdown.
@GeneralKenobiSIYE I dont see how you think modern systems are "unrefined" or less reliable, they are far safer, faster in every way, steam engines were dangerous, beautiful, I love them but to say they are way better than modern engines is just not true.
@a01087483 i cant disagree with you more-- steam was safe- it depended on the people running it.... the only reason steam died out- was speed. it took time to fire them up--and we got greedy-time is money. simple as that...
@4freespeech The same cannot be said for ships with turbines of the day. Even into the 1950's US Naval ships, as well as Navies of other nations were still using reciprocating steam engines with steam generated by burning oil instead of coal. Turbines didn't really come into wide spread use until the 50's. They also get much more efficiency out of steam reciprocating engines and even diesel engines than a turbine. Even today, which is why they need reduction gears. Learn your facts first dumbass
@johnsenkenn The steam enters a first small cylinder (HP), then it goes into a second which is bigger (MP) and then it goes in 2 big cylinders which are working together (BP)
@TerminatorFRA After the steam went through the two large cylinders from both engines, it was sent to the turbine that drove the middle propeller. Thus the middle propeller was not reversible and only used to drive the ship forward.
@sabeth17 Totally right, I never speak about that, because a turbine............................. is simply a turbine, simple and you see nothing, that's why it doesnt interrests me. lol

Steam was one way to do it but it has one major flaw, it needs water, and lots of it, to make it work.
In the case of a ship, the water needs to be distilled.
In the case of a locomotive there needs to be a lot of water towers all along the line.
Diesel engine ships can hold enough fuel to cross an ocean in less than 1/20 the volume of a coal fired steam ship.
And there is only the slightest need for water.
All this adds up to a far greater payload.
