  • Das ist ein normaler Kurbelantrieb, der wegen eines Patentes Watt nicht zur Verfügung stand. Das kleine Zahnrad ist nur Ziierde.

  • big steam engines with a long stroke & low RPM.

    Smaller the number of parts the better the tolerances & sturdier/more efficient. This converts reciprocating motion into rotary and changes the gearing ratio at the same time.

    This ^ was the first commercially successful engine.

  • Look at how many times the flywheel turns compared to revolutions of the arm. By varying the number of teeth on a cog, different advantages could be had. Huh... he almost coulda made a transmission :)

  • It got round patents used in other designs - think you're smarter than Watt?

    Think again.

  • Huh. And what is the mechanical advantage to that design?
