Incredible Speed: Turbinia | HISTORY

The steam turbine altered the course of history; jet engines and modern power plants would not have been possible if it weren&for the engines that originally powered Charles Parsons&steamship, Turbinia. Rocketing across the water at 34.5 knots, the Turbinia could outrun any merchant or naval vessel of the 1890&but convincing the British Admiralty to adopt his steam turbine wasn&going to be easy, it would take a crazy publicity stunt of great proportions to garner the attention the Turbinia deserved. #SteamEngine TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Parsons Steam Turbine 3:14 Trying Again 5:17 "The Uninvited Guest" 7:31 The Impact of Turbinia 9:43 The little steamship in Newcastle upon Tyne CREDIT: footage of the coal-fired power plant is from ERA films: REFERENCES: Fleet Review at Spithead About Turbinia National Historic Ships: Turbinia “The Only Way to Cross” by John Maxtone-Graham.
