Corliss moottorin ryhmän pyydysten mekanismeja: Corliss höyrykone Corliss höyrykone (tai Corliss moottori) on höyrykoneen, pyörivä venttiilien ja muuttujan venttiilin ajoitus patentoitu vuonna 1849, keksi ja nimetty yhdysvaltalainen insinööri George Henry Corliss Providence, Rhode Island. Moottorit asennetaan Corliss venttiili vaihde tarjotaan paras hyötysuhde paikallaan höyrykone tahansa hienostuneisuus uniflow höyrykone ja höyryturbiini 1900-luvulla. Corliss moottorit olivat yleensä noin 30 prosenttia enemmän polttoaineen tehokasta kuin perinteiset höyrykoneita kiinteä sulku.Tällainen tehokas teki höyry kuin vesivoima, jolloin teollisen kehityksen pois millponds.

Corliss Boiler Room Steam Engine Group by George H. Corliss Are you an engineer inventor who can sell your own ideas? George Henry Corliss was. During the industrial age, Corliss (1817 - 1888) left school at age 14 and spent his early years working in New York as a clerk in a factory store. He attended an academy in Vermont, but opted to return to the only business he had known previously and opened his own store, working as a merchant. Bored with routine tasks, around age 23, he began to use his mechanical talents to invent and perfect machinery, and after a few years was awarded his first patent for a boot-stitching machine. Corliss moved from New York to Providence, RI, to seek funding to market and produce the stitching machine but his plans changed when he became interested in steam engines. As a result, he took a job at Fairbanks, Bancroft, and Company as a draftsman for their steam engine and boiler manufacturing firm. He rose in seniority, was able to work on his own projects at the company, and after a few years, left to pursue his own ideas as senior partner in Corliss, Nightingale, and Co. His new ideas improved steam engine design which benefited the entire world. Corliss invented a valve that allowed steam to quickly pressurize a piston, moving it back and forth before the steam could condense. He also created governors that would control the steam and exhaust. These advances reduced waste heat and allowed the engine to operate with more uniform motion and lowered fuel costs. He designed, developed, and patented the Corliss Engine based on these improvements. The Inventors Hall of Fame notes that the efficient shuttle valve in the Corliss Engines "paved the way for the widespread use of steam power in nineteenth-century America." In 1856, Corliss opened the Corliss Steam Engine Company in Providence, RI. The steam engines he produced were used in many industrial applications, and were soon exported to Scotland for use in cotton mills. He opened a second

Cooper Corliss Engine Groups of Company: The Cooper Corliss Engine The Cooper Corliss engine served The Matthiesen-Hegeler Zinc Company of Lasalle, Illinois from 1914 to 1965. One of six large engines, it powered a rolling mill and a line shaft that powered other equipment. In 1981, Fred and Cynthia Carus of Lasalle, Illinois donated the engine to the Stephenson County Antique Engine Club. The club dismantled and moved the engine to Freeport. All labor and trucking were donated. Parts were stored until 1988 when the club acquired the former Stephenson County Nursing Home building, which now houses the museum. In the yard behind the museum, a foundation was made for the 130-ton engine. Seven vertical holes 25 feet deep by two feet in diameter were drilled in the ground and filled with reinforced concrete to support a base containing nearly 100 yards of concrete and 4000 feet of 1-inch diameter steel reinforcement bars. The total cost was $16,000. In 1989, the engine was then assembled by club volunteers. The 25-foot, 4-inch flywheel consistes of twelve 5-ton sections connected by 24 bolts, three inches in diameter, and 96 dog-bone shaped keys 2.5 inches square by thirty inches long. It is supported by a 25-ton crankshaft. Assembly of the engine required 12 hours. In 1990, a 60 by 60 foot metal building was built over the engine at a cost of $30,000. In 1991, the club located and purchased a used gas-fired boiler and installed it in the building with the engine. The engine was test run on July 13, 1991 at six rotations per minute. It is capable of 45 RPM. In 1992 the engine was painted. This required 16 gallons of paint. The engine is the largest flywheel steam engine within 500 miles of Freeport. The flywheel weighs 60 tons and stores a quarter million foot pounds of torque. There is no admission to see the Cooper Engine. Donations are appreciated.
