Huxley ( 1874 ) likened mental phenomena to the whistle on a steam locomotive.

In Consciousness Explained, Daniel Dennett ' distinguishes between a purely metaphysical sense of epiphenomenalism, in which the epiphenomenon has no causal impact at all, and Huxley's " steam whistle " epiphenomenalism, in which effects exist but are not functionally relevant.

Marlow began to screech the steam whistle repeatedly ; " the shower of arrows stopped, a few dropping shots rang out sharply — then silence "-A pilgrim in " pink pyjamas " arrives at the pilot-house, and is shocked to see the dying helmsman.

Marlow saw the pilgrims getting their rifles ready-so he screeched the steam whistle time after time to scatter the crowd on shore.

Joshua C. Stoddard of Worcester, Massachusetts patented the calliope on October 9, 1855, although it is based on previously known concepts, as in 1832, a musical instrument designer made a " steam trumpet " later to be known as a train whistle.

The Thomas J. Nichol calliopes featured rolled sheet copper ( as used in roofing ) for the resonant tube ( the bell ) of the whistle, lending a sweeter tone than cast bronze or brass, which were the usual materials for steam whistles of the day.

At noontime in industrial areas up into the 1950s whistles of every pitch could be heard, as each factory had a boiler and a whistle, if not full steam power.

High climbers and whistle punks were both phased out in the 1960s to early 1970s when portable steel towers replaced spar trees and radio equipment replaced steam whistles for communication.

This building was dismantled in 1980, but beginning in 2002 the Monterey Bay Aquarium has blown the original Hovden cannery steam whistle at noon each day to commemorate it.

Visitors can hear the old steam locomotive puff and chug throughout the countryside, which is accented by the steam whistle, bell and hiss of steam.

Instruments such as the calliope ( and steam whistle ), as well as the pyrophone might thus be considered as class 42 instruments, despite the fact that the " wind " or " air " may be steam or an air-fuel mixture.

Strikers on the steam launch fired a few random shots at the barges, then withdrew — blowing the launch whistle to alert the plant.

The original series was in black and white and comprised six episodes which told the story as to how Ivor wanted to sing in the choir, and how his whistle was replaced with steam organ pipes from the fairground organ on Mr Morgan's roundabout.

This cry is often described as sounding similar to a steam whistle.

* Cornish engineer Adrian Stephens invents the steam whistle as a warning device at Dowlais Ironworks in Wales.

: I am neither a prophet, nor the son of a prophet, yet I will venture to predict that in five years we shall make the journey hence to Quebec and Montreal, and home through Portland and St. John, by rail ; and I believe that many in this room will live to hear the whistle of the steam engine in the passes of the Rocky Mountains, and to make the journey from Halifax to the Pacific in five or six days.

A local engineering company has an old steam whistle attached to compressed air.

In the UK in 1858 coloured sidelights were recommended for sailing vessels and fog signals were required to be given, by steam vessels on the ships whistle and by sailing vessels on the fog horn or bell, while a separate but similar action was also taken in the United States

A flat plate on top of the vertical boiler provided a platform for the steam whistle and spring balance safety valve.

Sometimes stove-mounted kettles also have a steam whistle which indicates when the water has reached boiling point.

A British armoured truck, hastily built from the smokebox es of several steam locomotives at Inchicore railway works

Actual tests of a Tesla Steam Turbine at the Westinghouse works showed a steam rate of 38 pounds per horsepower-hour, corresponding to a turbine efficiency in the range of 20 %, while contemporary steam turbines could often achieve turbine efficiencies of well over 50 %.

First shown in 1977 at documenta 6 in Kassel, Germany, it included steam works by Joan Brigham, Otto Piene, and Paul Earls.

Steaming works by boiling water continuously, causing it to vaporize into steam ; the steam then carries heat to the nearby food, thus cooking the food.

* Dübs and Company, a Scottish steam locomotive works, founded by Henry Dübs

In 1897, funds were raised to build water works for Beemer, with Lambrecht and Doescher agreeing to pump water using the coal-fired, steam power plant in the flour mill.

Unlike a diesel locomotive or electric locomotive, the steam locomotive only works when its powerplant ( the boiler, in this case ) is fairly level.

Maudslay ’ s Lambeth works began to specialize in the production of marine steam engines.

To keep the gradients to less than 1 in 100 ( 1 %), a requirement for fast running using steam traction, huge engineering works were required.

Vulcan Foundry received its final steam locomotive order in 1954 ), while Earlestown was home to the major wagon works.

These works are designed with the long term future of the branch and to enable the use of locomotive hauled trains ( hauled by steam and diesel locomotives ).

Construction was rapidly pushed until twenty-six projects, including reservoirs, canals and related works were completed in whole or part, notably the Roosevelt, Shoshone, Arrowrock, Gunnison Tunnels and others, involving the investment of over $ 100, 000, 000, in 100 dams, of which ten form reservoirs of national importance also of tunnels, of irrigating canals and ditches with regulating works, bridges, steam and hydro-electric generators, transmission lines, pumps and devices connected with supplying water to 20, 000 farms.

Łapy owe its development to the Warsaw – Saint Petersburg Mainline with a station here, opened on 15 December 1862, and to the French having built here the works for repairing steam locomotives and carriages the same year.

To mark the bicentenary of the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers in 1994, the station was redesigned by Belgian comics artist François Schuiten in a steam punk style reminiscent of the science fiction works of Jules Verne.

The railway also operates three diesel locomotives which are used on days of total fire ban, plant or works trains, or when insufficient steam locomotives are available, including in emergencies.

These " hot spots " include commercial nurseries, recycling facilities, fueling stations, industrial storage, marinas, some outdoor loading facilities, public works yards, hazardous materials generators ( if containers are exposed to rainfall ), vehicle service and maintenance areas, and vehicle and equipment washing and steam cleaning facilities.

Up until this point, works power had come from steam engines, but the capital injection allowed the installation of two 4-cylinder vertical gas engines of each, designed by the Anderson Foundry Co. of Glasgow, coupled to three-phase alternators built by Allmänna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget of Sweden.

With the regular construction of turbines, boilers, steam and diesel engines, the Cowes site became an engineering works.

As the mills and hoisting works multiplied, the demand for water for use in steam boilers became so great that it was impossible to supply it without creating a water shortage among the residents, now thousands in number.

He worked for Matthew Boulton and James Watt at their Soho Foundry steam engine works in Birmingham England.

Watt's critical insight, arrived at in May 1765, was to cause the steam to condense in a separate chamber apart from the piston, and to maintain the temperature of the cylinder at the same temperature as the injected steam ( by surrounding it with a " steam jacket ").

At about the same time, James Watt proposed using screws to propel boats, although he did not use them for his steam engines.

Modern steam turbines frequently employ both reaction and impulse in the same unit, typically varying the degree of reaction and impulse from the blade root to its periphery.

In the case of steam turbines, such as would be used for marine applications or for land-based electricity generation, a Parsons type reaction turbine would require approximately double the number of blade rows as a de Laval type impulse turbine, for the same degree of thermal energy conversion.

While not a hydraulophone in the strictest sense ( sound is produced by steam rather than by water ) it facilitates the same expressive capabilities ( i. e. polyphonic embouchure ) that a hydraulophone facilitates.

After describing experiments to ascertain the pressure of steam at various points between 0 and 100 ° C ( 32 and 212 ° F ), Dalton concluded from observations on the vapour pressure of six different liquids, that the variation of vapour pressure for all liquids is equivalent, for the same variation of temperature, reckoning from vapour of any given pressure.

In Great Britain in the same year, the streamlined steam locomotive Mallard achieved the official world speed record for steam locomotives at.

* Flame is considered more effective than steam, but suffers from the same difficulties.

Aluminum plants required huge amounts of electricity, and to provide the power, TVA engaged in one of the largest hydropower construction programs ever undertaken in the U. S. Early in 1942, when the effort reached its peak, 12 hydroelectric plants and one steam plant were under construction at the same time, and design and construction employment reached a total of 28, 000.

Some of Murdoch's other minor inventions and experiments were: a machine developed in 1784 or 1785 in Cornwall for drilling wooden pipes, ( in 1810 this was further developed and patented for stone pipes ), a steam cannon which he attempted to use in 1803 to knock down a wall at Soho, a steam gun in the same year which fired 3 cm lead bullets, and machinery to grind and compress peat moss under great pressure to produce a material with " the appearance of the finest Jet ".

In the same letter Boulton also secretly urged Watt to include a scheme for a steam powered carriage in his patent application, which Watt did shortly thereafter.

The project involved electrification of the surface lines ( operated by steam trains at the time ), the doubling of the original single-line section between Finchley Central and the proposed junction with the Edgware branch of the Northern line, and the construction of three new linking sections of track: a connection between Northern City Line and Finsbury Park station on the surface ; an extension from Archway to the LNER line near East Finchley via new deep-level platforms below Highgate station ; and a short diversion from just before the LNER's Edgware station to the Underground's station of the same name.

Prince Piero Ginori Conti tested the first geothermal power generator on 4 July 1904, at the same Larderello dry steam field where geothermal acid extraction began.

They also build 1: 29 scale North American models in live steam and electric under the AML brand, as well as British live steam and electric models in 1: 19th scale called 16mm and Isle of Man live steam and electric models in 1: 20. 3 scale-the Isle of Man uses three foot gauge track, the same width as the dominant US Colorado narrow gauge.

The design of the AGR was such that the final steam conditions at the boiler stop valve were identical to that of conventional coal-fired power stations, thus the same design of turbo-generator plant could be used.

As diesel and steam replaced the tow horse in the early twentieth century, it became possible to move more cargo with the same manpower by towing a second unpowered boat, commonly referred to as a " butty ", " buttyboat " or " butty boat ".

When used in high-pressure applications, for example, as admission valves on steam engines, the same pressure that helps seal poppet valves also contributes significantly to the force required to open them.
