The train at 3:37 with the little wheels would actually have lower torque. But with many wheels, there would be more traction. Suspect that they would rather have 4 pairs of large wheels, but due to space limitations, they went for small wheels because they needed the contact patch area for enough traction to handle the design load and grade.
@JungleYT

@@johncochran8497 Sounds good to me... I see what you mean about smaller drivers vis-a-vis torque. Still, I've always noticed passenger steam locomotives have bigger drivers, while freight locomotives have smaller drivers - why is that?
@johncochran8497
4 жыл бұрын
@@JungleYT Think about the loads they need to carry and the speeds they need to travel at. Passenger trains are fairly small, but they want to be fast. A larger wheel for a given "strokes per minute" from the pistons will be faster than a smaller wheel. So less wear and tear on the bearings and greater speed. But a freight train handles a large heavy load, requiring a lot of traction. Hence, more wheels to provide the desired contact patch size for the desired traction. One additional thing about steam locomotive engines. They have "constant torque". What that means is that the available horsepower goes up without limit as long as enough steam is available to maintain pressure. So if a steam locomotive is able to get the load moving, it can in theory get the load moving at any desired upper speed limit. In contrast, an electric motor used in electric, or diesel electric engines have "constant horsepower". Basically, their torque is at it's greatest when just starting out and as they go faster, the available torque decreases. So they can get quite heavy loads moving from a stand still, but they have a limited upper speed due to the decreasing available torque.

It's nice to see steam engines still in use, not just taken out once a year to show tourists. The USA keeps a strategic oil reserve in case of emergencies. I think the USA and other countries should build modern steam powered engines for emergencies. If there is ever a crisis, war, or whatever causing massive oil shortages, having steam engines to ship things around the country would help save the economy and prevent starvation in areas that don't grow their own food. Plus they could ship soldiers and equipment around.

that's a really bad idea. the americans use primarily diesel-electric locomotives, which among other things, are extraordinarily fuel-efficient. fuel is no problem for diesel-electric locomotives. however, it's a huge problem for steam engines. think about it; a diesel-electric can carry a 5-mile-long chain of cargo from one city to another using just a tank of gas, however, steam engines would typically have trouble carrying a 500 metre long chain of cargo on a full tender. also, coal is quite environmentally unfriendly. the gases given off by coal are extremely dirty. you could theoretically develop a supercritical boiler model, but such a project would be expensive and likely extremely dangerous. so, the answer is no. the only reason steam is still in use AT ALL is because it's dirt cheap.

Guess it doesn't have an ashpan, or it is too small for the amount of cinders that that lower grade coal makes.
