In a house near Regent's Park, standing in a garden, and shut from the street by a high wall, I saw a thing...! and what shapes a great city hid I now first know. I left no quarter unremembered, taking a train, no longer of four, but of eight, vehicles, drawn by an electric motor which I re-charged every morning, mostly from the turbine station in St.
Assuming that the turbine joints and glands have been found capable of preventing any inleak of air, with only a small absolute pressure of steam or air inside it, and, further, an extremely important condition, with the turbine casing at high and low temperatures, separately, a vacuum test can be conducted on the condenser alone. This test consists of three operations.
The floor vibrated in a quick rhythm, and in a few seconds came the full drone of work that profound and elemental note of nature when she toils at the behest of man. The faintest flicker of light stirred in the blue English eyes. Ardswell had been walking from turbine to turbine. "Ripping!" he said. "You might shut down now." The titans dropped one by one into slumber.
After this it is advisable to shut off steam and let the turbine stand ten minutes, so as to warm thoroughly, during which time the governor parts may be oiled and any air which may have accumulated in the oil cylinder above the inlet valve blown off.
So, too, I knew every water-wheel in that part of the county, whether overshot, undershot, breast, or turbine. Everything in the nature of a motor had an especial fascination for me, and for the men in control of such power I entertained a respect which approached awe.
As a wooden plug will probably be driven out before the pressure can become dangerous, this is a point in favour of using one. Corrosion of the boiler will be lessened if the boiler is kept quite full of water when not in use. A Practical Steam Turbine. The next step takes us to the construction of a small turbine capable of doing some useful work.

Sealing of turbine glands, whether of liquid or steam type, no adjustment of the quantity of sealing fluid being necessary, however, at this point. Adjustment of valves on and leading to the water-weighing tanks. Opening of main exhaust valve or valves between turbine and condenser. Starting up of turbine and slowly running to speed. Application of load, and adjustment of gland-sealing steam.
One promising use of the turbine or steam-jet used to propel a fly-wheel filled with liquid as described has for its object the supply of the electric light in country houses. In this case the fly-wheel is fitted, on its lower side, to act as the armature of a dynamo, and the magnets are placed horizontally around it.
There's plenty of stuff in the valley, but we can't have him come down there, with the tower, the antennæ, and all the rest of the mess." "We might show him the big Ray," ventured Atterbury. "The thing can be pointed up and I can keep the turbine running. You can start the fire as soon as you hear his motors and I'll shut down as soon as I see your fire." "Good idea!" agreed Bennie.
