23Old Bess (beam engine) — Old Bess, as now preserved in the Science Museum, London Old Bess is an early beam engine built by the partnership of Boulton and Watt. The engine was constructed in 1777 and worked until 1848.[1] …
24Uniflow steam engine — The uniflow type of steam engine uses steam that flows in one direction only in each half of the cylinder. Thermal efficiency is increased in the compound and multiple expansion types of steam engine by separating expansion into steps in separate …
25Four-stroke engine — Four stroke cycle used in gasoline/petrol engines. The right blue side is the intake and the left yellow side is the exhaust. The cylinder wall is a thin sleeve surrounded by cooling liquid. A video montage of the Otto engines running at the… …
