How was the steam engine that promoted the development of the industrial revolution made?

/kloc-at the end of 0/7, the invention of the steam engine promoted the development of the whole industrial revolution. Let's see how the steam engine is made. The manufacture of steam engines is mainly divided into the following three steps.

First, the master installed bolts on the aluminum engine block, fixed six stainless steel cylinders, then inserted an aluminum piston in each cylinder and connected the piston rod to the crankshaft. Then, the master put a special cross bearing in the middle of the cylinder block to modify the motion trajectory of the piston, make the crankshaft rotate more smoothly and provide more power to the engine. Next, the master installed a push rod on each cylinder, inserted the base of each push rod into the guide ring, and then covered the cylinder. Each cylinder head has a steam inlet valve, so it is necessary to insert the push rod into the steam valve accurately.

Secondly, the engine is equipped with a cam to drive the push rod to rotate when the crankshaft rotates. Next, apply air pressure to the steam engine for trial operation, check whether there is any leakage problem, and verify whether all components work normally. Next, the technician used an electric wheel to make a six-meter-long stainless steel tube into a coil, and then sewed the coil with a thin steel wire, leaving a tiny gap between each tube, so that heat could be transferred between the tubes quickly and fully.

Thirdly, the master later stacked six coils together to assemble the main heat exchanger of the steam engine. Next, they use waste fuel to burn at low pressure to test whether water can be pressurized into steam normally. The advantage of a steam engine is that it can use anything that can be burned as fuel, and the process can be carried out at low pressure. Water is not only the working fluid in the steam engine, but also the lubricant of the engine, so the steam engine does not need engine oil. All kinds of advantages really made it regarded as an epoch-making invention at that time. From now on, the previous steam engine is undoubtedly a great invention. Our later power machine was also invented and reformed on the basis of steam engine.
