Internal Fire Museum of Power - Browett, Lindley steam engine

Inverted vertical compound enclosed engine by Browett, Lindley, Works No. 2253, built 1913 and installed in HMS Tiger. It drives a Rees Roturbo 200 kW dynamo. The ship fought in the battles of Dogger Bank and Jutland, and survived. The vessel was scrapped in 1932 and the engine used at Storthes Hall Hospital, Huddersfield. The engine was latterly on standby until 1982 and was acquired by the National Maritime Museum and kept in store. It came to Internal Fire in 2017 and is now steamable but waiting for more boiler capacity. Internal Fire was set up as a museum of the internal combustion engine but has branched into external combustion engines in the form of steam engines. This is in the first steam hall and is one of several significant items.

Internal Fire Museum of Power - Willans central valve engine

The Willans engine was a compact high speed design that could be direct coupled to a generator and revolutionised electrical generation. For a time it was the dominant design and it is claimed that in 1892 68% of all electricity generation was by Willans engines. However, they were progressively ousted by double acting, pressure lubricated high speed engines and then by turbines. The Willans Works moved to turbine production and thus stayed afloat and turbines are still made there today; in a works dating in part from 1897. This engine was built in 1901 and returned to the works in 1957 for preservation. It is a three crank engine with compound cylinders on each crank and developing 140 horsepower at 360 rpm and direct coupled to a dynamo with an open commutator, It came to Internal Fire in 2017 and will turn on steam but is awaiting a bigger boiler.
