Sentinel Steam Waggon 8016 DG8 Hill Climb
Комедия
On Sunday 5th April 2015, Richard Straughan drove his Sentinel DG8 from its winter quarters across to Beamish Museum in County Durham. This video is the climb up from the winter quarters to the road. I had the pleasure of firing for this trip. The waggon is the unique Double Geared 8 Wheeled Sentinel Steam Waggon that was supplied originally to Tarmac.

It's a "DG", which means they are double geared; they have a 2 speed gearbox.
Çok keyifli hissettiriyor olmalı ses hissiyat inanılmaz 2d ekran ve mikrofondan bile eğer emek verip bakım yapıp çalışıp kullanabilirsen dünyanın en iyi aracı masrafıdır da kesin parçaları yakıtı falan
Eventhough these were powered by steam, I am surprised that some of these had electric traction motors like you hear on an old streetcar.

Actually, they don't. The transmission is all mechanical. What you hear is the whine of mechanical gearing, similar to traction engines, road locomotives etc., but at a higher speed, thus the higher tone - the whine, which sounds similar to a high power electric motor.
wowe its Dangerous Drive ...
Imagine driving this thing in Texas during summer, when the temperature is 38 deg C (100 deg F).
Отлично, хорошее дело делаете ! )
i ve got one in my garden
Was she struggling up the hill at some point? Seemed like it couldn't quite get the speed up, slowly trying to get faster?
And this was without a load on the back!
I think the turbo was off boost
Well I guess on the plus side every hill climb would be an epic hill climb??? Maybe?? I dont know. Every time I see one of these old sentinels going up any kind of grade it seems to be struggling. Kinda reminds me of hauling equipment with a volvo truck running a D11 and a 10 speed, that poor little truck would be working going down hill.

The later Sentinels (the "Super" Sentinels) had shaft drive instead of chain drive (and other improvements), and were capable of 50 mph cruising, and 'though not "record breaking", were noticeably faster on hill climbs. Just a matter of later technological developements.
