An engines horsepower‚ in its most condensed definition‚ refers to the amount of horses it would take to perform the same function. At mankind’s present level of dependence on technology such a concept seems absurd‚ but at the beginning of the 17th century the literal equation of horsepower was used daily‚ especially in industry. With wind or water as the only alternative power sources‚ the use of load bearing beasts was inevitable. Wind is inconsistent and unreliable‚ whereas water was only plausible

Piston Engines Picture a tube or cylinder that holds a snugly fitting plug. The plug is free to move back and forth within this tube‚ pushed by pressure from hot gases. A rod is mounted to the moving plug; it connects to a crankshaft‚ causing this shaft to rotate rapidly. A propeller sits at the end of this shaft‚ spinning within the air. Here‚ in outline‚ is the piston engine‚ which powered all airplanes until the advent of jet engines. Pistons in cylinders first saw use in steam engines. Scotland’s

Turboprop engines Turboprop engines are a type of aircraft powerplant that use a gas turbine to drive a propeller. The gas turbine is designed specifically for this application‚ with almost all of its output being used to drive the propeller. The engine’s exhaust gases contain little energy compared to a jet engine and play a minor role in the propulsion of the aircraft. The propeller is coupled to the turbine through a reduction gear that converts the high RPM‚ low torque output to low RPM‚

confused with the catapult. The Mangonel is believed to be invented by the Romans in 400BC. During the Medieval age the engine was used most by the French. It’s named Mangonel because the Latin word manganon means “an engine of war”. Mangonels were referred to as scorpions because the arm of the engine was like the tail of the animal. The Mangonel wasn’t as accurate as other siege engines but did go a greater distance. The Mangonel has a long arm attached to a bowl like bucket. The base had wheels so
