    The biggest problem with high pressure and pump mechanism is the leakage of liquids. How does the pump they make prevent liquids from leaking out?

    Awesome video, as always! Maybe it's worth mentioning that the bridge's mechanism initially used to be powered by steam engines. You can still marvel over these beauties in the bridge museum located in the southern part of the bridge. Now that awesome and complex steam operated mechanism would be worth of it's own video (hint, hint)

  • @JP_TaVeryMuch

    I'm grateful for your latest video which is just as well made as the previous ones. This time as a local to the subject matter, I am able to contribute a couple of things. I was rather hoping when you admitted that you had seriously oversimplified the engine room assemblage, that you were about to mention the carefully maintained but redundant steam engines. But perhaps they wouldn't fit with the bright primary coloured visual version of this old marvel. The other aside I'd like to tell the viewers about is to do with something which again you came close to addressing but in fact didn't. Thank you for the heretofore unknown to me superlative pivot points design. You always come up with several of these "Now I didn't know that and I didn't know that I'd be fascinated by that either" gems of engineering greatness. Alas you mentioned the over rotation downwards, as it were, but not in the other, upwards direction. This brings me to my second point: In one of those English exceptions and eccentricities, the roaddeck bascules are only ever raised to fully vertical when the monarch passes through. The last time this happened was during the Diamond Jubilee celebrations for the late Queen when she and the Duke of Edinburgh braved the driving rain being rowed down the Thames on the new version of the seventeenth century Royal Barge.

    There are two good reasons to lift the trunnion load. Neither is simple load relief. The first it to prevent "fretting" (basically, scuffing of the trunnion and/or bearing at the contact area). This can happen if the load squeezes or wipes out the lubricating medium and the trunnion-to-bearing contact area is subject to vibration. The second is to allow lubrication to get to the load area. The trunnion load is concentrated (in the animation) roughly between clock positions 7 and 8. In the real world this could wipe lubrication off the trunnion-to-bearing contact area. Lifting the trunnion allows lubricant to flow into that wiped area. Similarly, double acting reciprocating compressors must be designed so there is "rod reversal", that is, the connecting rods must lift away from the cross head bearings for about 45% of each crank revolution. Other wise the bearings can overheat and fail due to loss of lubrication.

    I think that the early designers could have been acknowledged more by talking about how the bridge has always been controlled by high pressure hydraulics. When built, they burnt coal to provide steam to run a steam engine. This steam engine powered high pressure water pumps. High pressure water is then fed into hydraulic motors to raise and lower the bridge. The high pressiure water is fed across the elevated walkway to operate the other side. So the walkway has this aditional purpose. The modernisation was to replaced the water driven motors with modern oil driven motors electrically powered. If we traced the modern energy cycle back, the electricity is generated with the aide of water/steam and depending on where you may live , the burning of coal. Cheers.

    Originally it used steam engines, but since these didn't have the power to rapidly raise the bridge, they used another clever mechanism. Hydraulic accumulators. These were a number of heavy pistons that were raised by water pumped by the steam engines. When the bridge was to be raised, these would be lowered and the water diverted to hydraulic motors that would raise the bridge.

I was up there when the bridge opened. :D UPDATE : Yep... new system installed in 1974.
