The Magic of Steam Part 1: The Steam Turbine
Jam Handy Org. for Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Company 1/2
Middle class home - woman in living room goes to couch and switches on electric lamp. Turbine turning. Electricity pylons and wires. Graphic showing how two thirds of electric energy in the USA is made with steam. Interior power station with huge steam turbines.
21:30:23 Scientist in lab coat puts kettle on heat to demonstrate the production of steam - places paddle wheel in front of kettle spout to show energy made by steam to turn paddle. Experiment expanded by making four spouts. Experiment to show reaction turbine, by placing lid on kettle and kettle on rollers produces pressure jet of steam which produces enough power to push the kettle along the rollers.
21:31:56 Firemen fighting blaze to illustrate that if enough pressure is forced out of a spout / nozzle then two or three men will be needed to hold the hose.
21:32:11 Interior steam turbine power station. Graphic showing workings of steam turbine intercut with shots of scientist and kettle in laboratory, and shots of turbine fan. Animation showing turbine generating energy. VS Allis-Chalmers turbines.
