Murdoch Steam Carriage, 1784

William Murdoch (August 21,1754 - November 15, 1839) was a Scottish engineer and inventor. He was employed by Boulton and Watt and worked for them as a steam engine erector for 20 years. He was the inventor of the oscillating cylinder steam engine, the steam gun, the pneumatic tube message system, and the first to exploit the flammability of gas for the practical application of lighting. An important invention for which his name is little known is Britain's first working model of a steam carriage, in 1784. The mechanics of the model locomotive incorporated a number of innovations, such as a boiler safety valve, having the cylinder partly immersed in the boiler and using a new valve system on the lines of the D-slide valve. He died in 1839 at the age of 85. His reputation as an inventor has been obscured by the reputations of Boulton and Watt and the firm they founded.

Título:
Murdoch Steam Carriage, 1784
Descripción:
Traducción automática: William Murdoch (21 de agosto de 1754 - 15 de noviembre de 1839) fue un ingeniero e inventor escocés. Trabajó para Boulton and Watt como montador de máquinas de vapor durante 20 años. Fue el inventor de la máquina de vapor de cilindro oscilante, el cañón de vapor, el sistema de mensajes de tubo neumático y el primero en explotar la inflamabilidad del gas para la aplicación práctica de la iluminación. Un invento importante por el que su nombre es poco conocido es el primer modelo funcional de un vagón de vapor de Gran Bretaña, en 1784. La mecánica del modelo de locomotora incorporaba una serie de innovaciones, como una válvula de seguridad de caldera, tener el cilindro parcialmente sumergido en la caldera y usar un nuevo sistema de válvulas en las líneas de la válvula de corredera en D. Murió en 1839 a la edad de 85 años. Su reputación como inventor ha sido oscurecida por la reputación de Boulton and Watt y la empresa que fundaron.
