Thank you for your contributions. I used to be a volunteer in the black gang of the museum ship SS JOHN W BROWN. I also just found your channel, and the videos look fascinating. I would love to see a video of how slicing, raking and stoking the TITANIC’s boilers actually worked, under the direction of the Kilroy Stoking Indicators -“fire furnace no 2.” Another very important detail left out in the animation were the sight glasses and feed water valves.
Mike, my goodness you spoil us It would be easy to ignore your community, but you didn't. You deserve immense credit for engaging so well with us. I will remain a massive a fan!
I spent 11 years as a U.S. Navy Machinist Mate and 30 years as a Power Plant Operator. I saw all of your mistakes. What is refreshing is seeing your dedication. You did an outstanding job of not just correcting your errors but expanding on the topics as well. A real breath of fresh air. Thank you.
Same here. 25 year Navy Hole Snipe (MMCS), 20 year coal fired power plant shift foreman. Saw the mistakes, but I always figure it's difficult for "civilians" to actually understand what takes a long while for us to figure out at the beginning of getting involved in steam engineering.. What interests me, is the the layout and operation of the support and auxiliary machinery and systems on these ships.
Hats off to you old steam guys from a whipper snapper 40ish former engine man lol y'all were beastmasters since a steam plant is like a big ass dragon 🐉
I'm 42. I have been consuming all things Titanic since I was 5. Every video I watch of yours, I learn something I hadn't known. I appreciate you and all your hard work.
Let me guess you had the national geographic where It had a photograph of the whole entire Titanic that folded out across five pages like a pin up plastered out on your wall too
@@IsaiahAmos017my grandmother had a subscription to Nat'l Geographic. The original Titanic issue was the only one that I took home. It was VERY well worn.
Here is something very few people know about the Titanic. My mom was born 3 days before it sank. Friday - April 13th 1912. Every one of her siblings blamed her for the sinking.LOL
Honestly props! It's super refreshing that a UA-camr will own up to his mistakes and not make a big fuss over his own community! A testament to how good this channel is.👍
Errors are what makes us human and can only be learned the hard way. If more acknowledged they weren’t perfect the world would be a better place. I salute you Mike for your courage and keep up the great content.
The rules of business and life that were under my signature on every piece of work-related correspondence until I retired last year: 1. Tell the truth 2. Admit mistakes 3. Do what is right You do that, Mike, so thank you. Imagine if more people did the same?
This isn't a matter of truth. He wasn't lying - he just published nonsense due to a lack of effort during research. His new number 1 priority should be to work harder.
@@HerbertTowers ; That's a bit unfair. Mike has and does work hard. But he had the flu and stepped outside his area of competence without realising it. He doesn't need to work harder, just smarter. The mistake of a multitude of historians, not just Mike, is that without looking into the technical/engineering aspects, you inevitably get things wrong. I write articles for print magazines. I impose on myself a rule - I master the relevant technology to a level about 10 x deeper than what I'm writing to. That's what a script writer or his research assistants need to do. A writer should get research assistants to walk him thru the subject, and not just take their word for it. Otherwise he ends up using words wrongly without knowing - just as Mike didn't know that superheating has a specific special meaning to steam men. It is all very well saying tell the truth. In history and technology, discovering and recognising the truth is not always easy.
You handled the critics with total class!!!! Love it! I myself deal with a lot of backlash about scripting mistakes, and I know exactly how it feels when people make corrections... you pour hundreds of hours into research and scripting a video, then 20 people in the comments and correct you on the same minor mistake. Not many people realize the work that goes into these videos... but I do and you do an incredible job Mike! Mistakes will happen, don't let the critics get to you. You rock, you're a huge inspiration to me and my UA-cam Videos. Keep up the incredible work my friend!!! I look forward to your video on the Britannic!!!
People can be butt-heads. And don’t lose sleep, just say in a pinned comment, Sorry! [insert error about something here] And also, you look terrible, get better soon!
It's actually amazing how much he gets right - people take years of schooling and hands on time to understand these systems. And those people make mistakes themselves! I was one of the folks to chime in on the psig vs psia details incorrectly - my background is in non-floating power plants, and I don't think I've ever seen a psia gauge in industry (our condensers run ideally at -28 inches of mercury - a scale where 0" of mercury is regular atmospheric pressure). Always love to see follow-ups in the name of accuracy!
Why do you sound sour about people correcting your "minor mistake" though? Sorry if that's not how it should have come across, but it sounds like you expect people to consume without criticism...
The issue with,literally, the Global reach of internet formats is that the audience is so vast! You’re akin to a Professor in front of a class of hundreds of thousands! That’s intimidating! I taught at a University level and many times the students were more well read and knowledgeable than myself! Congratulations on your terrific contact and channel! I LOVE everything you accomplish!
My grandfather once consoled me by explaining that you retain corrections from mistakes more than any other way of learning. Im so impressed you attached the corrections right with the original. Quality all around!
You're still noted as the guy who puts amazing amount of work into research and prep for the videos. My 7 year old son is obsessed with ships and has been since he was 4 years old, he loved your last video on how the engine room of titanic worked 👍👍
You are a class act and the fact you are so hard on yourself and come back so promptly to correct your mistakes is what makes you such a Pro. You are a brilliant content creator and a fantastic presenter....don't you forget that!
You're a big and admirable man for admitting and rectifying your mistakes. Much respect to you and your incredible videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and hard work.
Admitting to you make mistakes is one thing, but even dedicating a whole video to this is absolute outstanding. My compliments for that. This is one of many things what makes your work unique and stand out from the crowd. Absolute quality.
WHAT!? YOU ARE A HUMAN!? shame on you.... How dare you make a mistake without an underlying desire to deceive your audience. In all honesty... your channel is amazing. I feel like I've found new interests in things I never expected... but also you do a wonderful job storytelling and your editing is amazing! I really appreciate you coming forward to talk about your mistakes. Because that's what professionals do. Newspapers do it all the time!!
Agree 100%, the way you handled this was top notch and very professional. Thanks again Mike, for the honesty, for the work you do in entertaining us all, and educating us all, on this wonderful subject.
Honestly I don't think you need to lose sleep over this. You do incredible work of finding accurate information and explaining it in a way that those who aren't ship nerds will understand, and that results in some editorial judgment and flair. Your overall effort to make sure the facts are represented as a whole in your writing helps educate people more than anything. Would love to see you do more debunking videos on misinformation like you did on your side channel, that was both educational and quite entertaining!
@OceanlinerDesigns I like many other people here really appreciate and respect your honest mistakes and your commitment to rectify them. Even though occasional mistakes are made, the number is views of subscribers and views in each videos is well earned
... and hope you get better soon! That was one of the better YT videos I have seen recently: graceful acceptance of additional info, declared on-air, to improve the quality of the overall story. You have just earned a "Rob's Respect" badge 👍
I learned more from this corrections video than the original video! Kudos for the humility to admit mistakes, and for turning mistakes into opportunities for learning.
I am amazed by the amount of analysis you put in preparing your videos. Being myself an engineer, I could watch them for hours as they are so much informative. Thank you Mike for all this hard work.
You're never too old to learn something new! Don't get too hung up about the turbine operating with a 9 psia inlet pressure. The turbine really doesn't care if its inlet pressure is above atmospheric or not - it cares what its exit pressure is in relation to its inlet pressure. With a 1 psia exit pressure that's still a 9:1 pressure ratio across the machine, which has a large influence on how much mass flow the machine can handle, and thus its power output. BTW, the frigate I served on had a 1,200 psi plant - 1,275 psig steam drum pressure, 950 deg F superheater outlet pressure, giving 35,000 SHP at the main reduction gear coupling. Cheers!
What a gracious and totally ego free response. So enjoyed the video in question - narrative and graphics - and learned so much. Respect to you for reading all the comments in the first place and taking the time to present this bonus follow up, which has given me a lift on a wet, windy and miserable morning in Liverpool. Thanks Mike, all your productions are absolutely first rate.
Worked in the engine room in the Navy and I must say, your corrections are spot on. And making 'freshwater' was still a major chore even in the 70's and 80's when I served. The engine room uses a lot of water, partly because every little wisp of steam from a valve gland or a shaft seal is freshwater lost. Even if keeping on top of those pesky leaks all the time, every bit adds up.
Besides the corrections, which were fascinating I love this channel because of your class. You should tutor YT presenters on how to dress and respond to criticism. I truly believe that you are my friend Mike Brady. I don't know enough about shipbuilding to correct you but I do trust what you say. Keep up this classy channel!!!!!
Actually, airplane nerds are the worst. Steam enthusiasts will take the opportunity to share their knowledge, whereas airplane geeks just call you a dumbass.
@@deadspyder i haven't experienced that. Most of the steam nerds I have dealt with have acted like anything you do is a safety hazard (of course there are legitimate safety concerns in steam) but won't help you learn.
@@deadspyder Mike's gonna be opening a can of worms with Airliner Designs if that's the case! (Maybe that's why he hasn't uploaded any vids there yet 🤔)
This is absolutely outstanding. There are far too many videos floating around containing massive amounts of technical inaccuracies, and even outright falsehoods. I think this is somewhat understandable, it is unreasonable to expect anyone to have subject matter expert level knowledge across multiple domains. That having been said, seeing someone not only bother to take notice of the details, but actually cover and correct them in a followup is a wonderful breath of fresh air compared to the norm. While your original video was still far better than most, I truly respect your attention to detail and desire to correct even the smallest of mistakes. Very well done.
My Brother, there is a huge, massive, very large difference between you making an honest mistake and someone that intentionally misleads and spreads misinformation for their personal gain...we know that you do everything possible to make sure the information you put in your videos is accurate, everyone makes mistakes, if we all were perfect life would be boring and actually, none of us would have been brought together by your videos 😂 Thank You For Your Time And Effort! As well as all of the people behind the scenes that make it all possible!
Once again you earn deep respect and appreciation for clearly communicating how 20th century steamships achieved their successful operational efficacy and your lack of hubris enables you to correct minor but significant missteps in your previous presentations, proving you to be a treasure. Thank you!
It's very nice that a UA-camr really respects his viewers and actually thinks what went wrong when they tell him that. Most importantly, you spend time to discuss correct them. Keep up your amazing work!
Excellent job, Mike! I loved the original video and was suspicious of the sea water in the boilers statement, and I’m grateful to the more knowledgeable people who corrected the error. I also suspected the PSIA/PSIG issue (it’s caused confusion in my field, aviation, too). Your expansion on your point here was great! Nobody knows everything, and everyone can learn something from anyone else. You earn my continued respect for making the corrections and owning the errors. You are a fantastic creator!
I've been a contractor for over 25 years. I do Electrical, Plumbing, hvac, framing etc etc. The point is that even with all my years of experience I still learn things and I am open to listening and learning from somebody else. Which brings me to this point, if people aren't making comments that are constructive to help than all the more power to them, however all too many are just trying to shoot their mouths off and point out everybody else's flaws because they can't deal with their own. It's interesting how people will fight to the death to prove they know that one point. Ironically, that's the high point of their knowledge
As a retired teacher myself, in the engineering language world too, I know how easy it is to make occasional mistakes, or simply to misrepresent facts. My students generally enjoyed putting me straight - and I learned too. Keep up the good work! 🙂
Hello, I'm a mechanic who often had to opportunity to help my co-workers. Rule number one, on my incredibly long, and highly situational, list of rule number ones, was and remains this: The best way to learn about something is to try teaching it to somebody else.
In my opinion, unintentional mistakes are a part of life and not as significant as those made by individuals who intentionally mislead their audience. Keep up the good work Mike, and I look forward to more informative videos from you.
Thank you for this video. It is nice to see a video with multiple corrections. A little note. 15:38 The reciprocating engines on the Olympic class had two different types of valves. The High pressure cylinder use one piston valve (round in shape) and the Intermediate pressure cylinder used two piston valves. Both Low pressure cylinders used two slide valves (has a flat seat). Steam goes into the engine due to pressure (not injected) and gets exhausted out of the cylinders due to the reversing stroke of the piston. I am a steam engine driver and for over twenty years operated a 1911 triple expansion engine in a museum. (The low pressure cylinder was 54" the same size as Titanics high pressure cylinders.)
Mike Brady, not AI after all? 🤔 Does AI make any mistakes? 🤭Steam engines aren't as simple as they appear at first glance. Sea water contains shrimp and sometimes lobster. Thus the name "feed water" When they entered the boiler, they turned red, (this, of course, is where the famous restaurant got it's name.) Anywayz after a while the sailors became tired of eating so much seafood and the engineers at NASA invented a sort of colander to strain out the seafood. It was held in a special tank and then sold to restaurants when in port.
You're a class act. Not only did you acknowledge your errors & set to put them right, but you recommended the channel of one of your critics. Incredibly commendable of you. It's a shame other channels don't do this. You deserve every success & I hope that cold gets better soon!
Great reaction on the critics, i must say. A scientist myself, i know how good it is to learn from your experiences. And you did your best by your knowledge in the first video - now getting much more expertise in steam technology from the community. What a great example of learning in a community and again chapeau to you!
Yo I love these deep dives into how the engines and systems worked, and your "mistakes" actually paved the way for an even deeper dive into the systems, therefore I'd say they're less mistakes and more opportunities to further dive into the wonderful world of why things work the way that they do. Also, very few content creators will actually make a whole video to correct errors, usually they just make a comment that people almost never see, the fact that you made a whole video about this really speaks to the quality of your channel and content as well as your drive to share accurate information. Well done!
15:36 Alright, so who wants to tell him he used the wrong type of valve in the example animatic? In all seriousness though, good on you for going back and correcting the mistakes in such a polite manner. Not everyone can do that, and even though you had my respect before, you have just doubled that respect.
I am literally, intuitively smarter after watching these more technical videos. Thank you for taking the time to make corrections. Setting a good example for other writers and providing source material for your viewers is class act. A+ 🧐
Great show of integrity with a corrections follow up like this. And yes for ships built over 100 years ago they are still marvels of engineering. And to think that the age of sail was not that long before the Titanic's time, it's amazing.
Michael, you're human and at least you have the modesty to admit an inaccuracy when needed. Your followup video, here, more than shows your dedication to providing a most professional presentation. Thanks for what you do.
I like your dialogues with the volunteers. I’m 84. My dad was born in Southampton England in 1902. My grandfather took the family to the docs to see Titanic off. Dad was thrilled.
I am also an 84yr old Cork Head, retired T.H. Pilot Vessel crew and stationed in Marchwood Maritime, I wonder if we know each other? Dischargbook No R647110 Port Line and RFA Oh and Union and Castle (but bI don't usually admit to that one) On Deck.
I hope you weren't in a lot of hot water for these small mistakes XD In all seriousness, I enjoy these videos so much. Each is like a work of art with great visuals, music and great information. Mistakes happen and you addressed and handled them well and it was very nice of others who kindly brought them up and explained them in a kind fashion. Keep up the great work. Each video feels so welcoming and friendly that I just have to stay and watch. Time just flies by with each I feel like I've learned a great deal.
Are we learning something here folks? Beyond the mechanical education here, look down through the comments. When you make a mistake, OWN IT! TAKE RESPONSIBILITY, APOLOGIZE, AND DO WHAT IT TAKES TO FIX IT!!! Everyone makes mistakes. It's what we do afterwards, that defines who we really are, and determines wether we are forgiven, or written off.
Hi Mike,there is an old saying…the man who never made a mistake..NEVER made anything,so carry on what your doing is fine by me.cheers Roly🇬🇧.PS. I made a typo writing this😀😄.
The man who never made a mistake never made anything. It's how you deal with mistakes that matters, and you dealt with these both efficiently and graciously- an admirable example to all of us. And it was great for us viewers, as it made another very interesting video for us too.😉
You are a consummate CLASS ACT Mike!!! Don’t beat yourself up about it, no one can can know everything about anything. And you talk about numerous ships in a single months!
I've recently seen a few of your vids and have become a fan. I really appreciate this vid in particular, and want to emphasize that there is a big difference between an honest mistake and misinformation. You do great, Mike - we're all human! And the fact that you make such an effort to correct the record when you make a mistake, in my opinion, dramatically increases your credibility. Thanks for all you do, I love the vids and will subscribe and support.
Agree completely with this comment. Mike, you do a fantastic job and you handle any criticism beautifully. You're a better man than me. I'd take it all personally and lash out. I very much appreciate your work.
it's not a perfect world, we all can slip up. Even with computers in front of most us, many couldn't answer the question of "who was the Board of Trade official that signed Titanic's year operating certificate April 2 1912?" his name not his job description...... most of us couldn't answer Francis Carruthers right off. But then the internet is right in front of us.🙂
I am always intrigued by the economics. The amount of work/labor required was staggering. It would be nearly impossible today to build in exact replica with exactly the same materials as the cost would be profoundly prohibitive.
This dude just turned an apology video into a full on MVP caliber informational video. That's some witchcraft for sure; but I'm here for it. But honestly, you don't owe anything more than a "see the pinned comment" type of apology. I'm pretty sure we all know that you're only human, and you obviously try your best to get everything correct the first time.
Very impressive sir. So nice and refreshing to see actual humility and correction of one’s own mistakes, and very well done at that. Good on you, and still one of my favorite UA-cam channels.
Do you think it would be too absurd/possible try to replicate the engines of the RMS Titanic (at least as close as possible) in a functional way with steam? in a homemade way, without resorting to ready-made kits, industrial materials, that is, difficult to access.
Cmon, the best way to find the right answer online is to post the wrong answer. Youve done nought but deliver the most correct answers, by. Kicking the comment section hornets nest.. Deep breaths, wooo sah, itll be fine, man. 😂
Honestly I really respect that you can admit when you're wrong. Many other UA-camrs would either deny they did anything wrong or just sweep the whole thing under the rug and pretend it never happened. I don't even blame you for getting things wrong either as it's obvious you really do your homework on these subjects and put the most effort you can to make these videos as good as possible
Hi, you actually made a mistake in this vid. I do enjoy these videos but the mistake had me thinking. Let me explain where you are incorrect and I'll do my best to describe the actual facts in detail. So the issue is mainly in the section where you stated that... Read More
An excellent video that presents this information better than actual paid marine engineering lecturers I have studied under. An addendum to the point about Watt engines for those curious: The Watt engine did run at exclusively under atmospheric pressure but this was because it used the weight of atmosphere on the piston to drive the engine condensive working of the steam rather than the expansive working invented in the early 1800's A Newcomen (and later Watt) engine filled the cylinder with steam on the upstroke which was done by the motion of the flywheel or weight of the pump rod. The steam would then condense, creating a vacuum under the piston and drawing it down. Obviously all far beyond the scope of the video but a fun tale from engines before they got put on vehicles,
re: red hot pipes one night in college i was walking behind some buildings and there were some pipes surrounded by a fence and i could feel heat coming off them. i stared at them with my eyes as wide as possible and it was just barely in the visible end of glowing. i immediately wondered if there was a problem building up and no one was aware of it and if it was glowing red and there was pressure is this a failure about to happen...in my face?! but then i tried to convince myself that just because something is glowing and liquid metal glows that doesn't mean all glowing metal is soft and on the verge of turning liquid. i told myself it could be well within it's solid phase temperature but just happens to have a black body radiation that my eyes can barely detect...so i kinda convinced myself that everything must be ok and that's probably why there was a fence around the pipes. still seeing a dull red really made me think it was about to sag and burst... 🙂
Well played sir that's a real good thing to admit when your miss informed,or just said something wrong... seems people as a hole have a really hard time just simply being wrong or not quite right 👍👍👍👍👍
Sorry but everybody knows losers always say they did they're best. When the winners go home and do the prom queen ! 🤭 We still appreciate the work you put in.
could they have stored the coal slightly higher than wherever they were burning it and so just let gravity empty coal into a chute into the burner? that seems like it would save on workers and toil... or even have the engines power sloped conveyor belts if the fuel had to be dumped below the burners it could put it on belts to raise it to the desired locations...(though they'd have to hand start the fires to get the power to get the belts going...)
hey! i kinda new to your channal but saw lots of ur videos... they motivated me to rebuild some of them in minecraft. thanks for the Content and good time i had! :)
Can you pls. do a video about why Steam turbines don't work on locomotives, Button work on Steam ships? (I Pray that you see that comment. So far I was kinda a white elephant around here.😉)
For a long time I was never sure why the reciprocating steam engines in ships like _Titanic_ didn't produce the rhythmic puffing or chugging at the funnels/smokestacks like a railway locomotive (or most other steam-powered land vehicle) did/does. Your videos have finally answered that question once and for all - the closed loop feedwater system. That sound comes from the exhaust steam from the cylinders being ejected into the smokebox and then out the funnel with force, and in so doing it also ejects the coal smoke/gases out of the firebox, drawing air in and aiding combustion. In ships the exhaust steam is condensed back into water and reused, and there is a separate system for increasing the draught over the fires.
Ahhhhh, easy mistake to make. Yesh they don't use seawater in the boilers. Same as they dont use the cooling pond water in coal or nuclear reactors. The cooling pond or cooling tower water is only used to cool the loop or loops of clean water in the powerplant.
Fascinating! Never been on a steamship, but worked in the electric power industry for over 40 years. Spent a lot of time at a 2,300 MW coal fired power plant. Enjoyed many behind the scenes tours during maintenance overhauls. Many similarities. Thank you for the great video. I have been drawn to the Titanic since I was young.
One question I have (Marine engineer with experience working on steam turbine and triple expansion engines) is how you could run saturated steam through the turbine engine. On the ships I worked on, we did run superheated steam and a simple collection system wouldn't be enough. You can get away with some condensation on the reciprocating engines, but not with the turbine where any water that would hit the blades could break the blades. I wonder if they had an additional drying step in between?
Getting stuff perfectly right on UA-cam, is extremely challenging. Dare I say impossible. Props to you for going through and point out things you missed!
Lovely video. Also, fun tidbit, on a reciprocating engine, once you get the crank shaft to move, the valve is opened for less and less time (cutoff), eventually only opening for just a little bit as the piston reaches the top (bottom) to fill the small volume with high pressure steam and for the rest of the cycle it's closed, letting the small, high-pressure volume expand before exhausting into the next stage. Just a small detail I picked up as a steam nerd :)
I just happened to stumble over the previous video last evening and watched it. As a retired mechanical engineer versed in steam tables, thermodynamics and heat transfer I caught most of the errors. But then I could not put together an informative video like you can to save my life! Correcting this way shows excellent professionalism. Excellent job and now you have another subscriber just because of that. Keep up the good work.
Mike, I enjoy watching your videos so don't take to heart your small errors as I am sure it takes a lot of research to produce these and easy to slip up along the way. Also unless you have a back ground of the topic it would be easy to make the odd mistake. Being a marine engineer myself I couldn't imagine trying to produce a video on how a computer works. Cheers Ian
A man that admits his mistakes 👌💪 that’s why I love youtube if your wrong about something they will let you know in the comments! We all learn of each other 👍
Holy smokes, thank you so much for the shoutout. Happy i was able to pass on some info.
You deserve it. Also I checked out some of your videos, and they're awesome. I'm gonna start from your first and work up to your latest
Thank-you too for contributing to the finest, most elegant "OMG I screwed up, but..." video I've ever watched. :)
Dude, it’s easy, just preview your coming releases to your discerning viewers…
crazy how much engineering actually went into titanic. before computers . mind boggling
Thank you for your contributions. I used to be a volunteer in the black gang of the museum ship SS JOHN W BROWN. I also just found your channel, and the videos look fascinating.
I would love to see a video of how slicing, raking and stoking the TITANIC’s boilers actually worked, under the direction of the Kilroy Stoking Indicators -“fire furnace no 2.” Another very important detail left out in the animation were the sight glasses and feed water valves.
Mike, my goodness you spoil us
It would be easy to ignore your community, but you didn't. You deserve immense credit for engaging so well with us. I will remain a massive a fan!

Same (4-1/2 years on the Big E).
Like I don’t think he needs to correct them, only for people with engineering background maybe, but majority of people have no engineering background

Honestly props! It's super refreshing that a UA-camr will own up to his mistakes and not make a big fuss over his own community! A testament to how good this channel is.👍
Errors are what makes us human and can only be learned the hard way. If more acknowledged they weren’t perfect the world would be a better place.
I salute you Mike for your courage and keep up the great content.
In a world where people are terrified of taking accountability for their wrongs, Mike’s professionalism in owing up is indeed a refreshing thing
Lol props
I'm not even into ships... but since watching this channel.. I am now
Thank you for corrections, luckily I am not knowledgeable enough to have seen the errors, props for admitting error, and correcting.
Was a nuclear steam plant operator in the Navy sub fleet. Refreshing to see your dedication to correcting your mistakes. Thank you
I am simply impressed that you have the integrity to admit and then correct your mistakes. We need more of this type of honesty in our world.
The rules of business and life that were under my signature on every piece of work-related correspondence until I retired last year:
1. Tell the truth
2. Admit mistakes
3. Do what is right
You do that, Mike, so thank you. Imagine if more people did the same?
This isn't a matter of truth. He wasn't lying - he just published nonsense due to a lack of effort during research. His new number 1 priority should be to work harder.
@@HerbertTowers I was focusing on the second rule... admitting mistakes is a sign of real maturity.
Those are three excellent rules to go with.
@@HerbertTowers ; That's a bit unfair. Mike has and does work hard. But he had the flu and stepped outside his area of competence without realising it. He doesn't need to work harder, just smarter.
The mistake of a multitude of historians, not just Mike, is that without looking into the technical/engineering aspects, you inevitably get things wrong.
I write articles for print magazines. I impose on myself a rule - I master the relevant technology to a level about 10 x deeper than what I'm writing to. That's what a script writer or his research assistants need to do. A writer should get research assistants to walk him thru the subject, and not just take their word for it. Otherwise he ends up using words wrongly without knowing - just as Mike didn't know that superheating has a specific special meaning to steam men.
It is all very well saying tell the truth. In history and technology, discovering and recognising the truth is not always easy.
@@keithammleter3824 without looking into every single detail you'll eventually get Something wrong (but who the hell has time for that, really-)
You handled the critics with total class!!!! Love it! I myself deal with a lot of backlash about scripting mistakes, and I know exactly how it feels when people make corrections... you pour hundreds of hours into research and scripting a video, then 20 people in the comments and correct you on the same minor mistake. Not many people realize the work that goes into these videos... but I do and you do an incredible job Mike! Mistakes will happen, don't let the critics get to you. You rock, you're a huge inspiration to me and my UA-cam Videos. Keep up the incredible work my friend!!! I look forward to your video on the Britannic!!!
People can be butt-heads. And don’t lose sleep, just say in a pinned comment, Sorry! [insert error about something here]
And also, you look terrible, get better soon!
It's actually amazing how much he gets right - people take years of schooling and hands on time to understand these systems. And those people make mistakes themselves! I was one of the folks to chime in on the psig vs psia details incorrectly - my background is in non-floating power plants, and I don't think I've ever seen a psia gauge in industry (our condensers run ideally at -28 inches of mercury - a scale where 0" of mercury is regular atmospheric pressure). Always love to see follow-ups in the name of accuracy!
Yeah, true, it takes a while to get all that stuff done, and to figure that out.
Why do you sound sour about people correcting your "minor mistake" though? Sorry if that's not how it should have come across, but it sounds like you expect people to consume without criticism...
The issue with,literally, the Global reach of internet formats is that the audience is so vast! You’re akin to a Professor in front of a class of hundreds of thousands! That’s intimidating! I taught at a University level and many times the students were more well read and knowledgeable than myself! Congratulations on your terrific contact and channel! I LOVE everything you accomplish!
My grandfather once consoled me by explaining that you retain corrections from mistakes more than any other way of learning.
Im so impressed you attached the corrections right with the original. Quality all around!
What a great way of putting, and your grandfather was so right.
A wisdom sadly lost these days.
You're still noted as the guy who puts amazing amount of work into research and prep for the videos. My 7 year old son is obsessed with ships and has been since he was 4 years old, he loved your last video on how the engine room of titanic worked 👍👍
It's nice to hear their are young people today that have this interest. 😁
Titanic engine
You are a class act and the fact you are so hard on yourself and come back so promptly to correct your mistakes is what makes you such a Pro.
You are a brilliant content creator and a fantastic presenter....don't you forget that!
You're a big and admirable man for admitting and rectifying your mistakes. Much respect to you and your incredible videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and hard work.
Admitting to you make mistakes is one thing, but even dedicating a whole video to this is absolute outstanding. My compliments for that. This is one of many things what makes your work unique and stand out from the crowd. Absolute quality.
WHAT!? YOU ARE A HUMAN!? shame on you.... How dare you make a mistake without an underlying desire to deceive your audience.
In all honesty... your channel is amazing. I feel like I've found new interests in things I never expected... but also you do a wonderful job storytelling and your editing is amazing! I really appreciate you coming forward to talk about your mistakes. Because that's what professionals do. Newspapers do it all the time!!
That was exactly what I was going to say
Agree 100%, the way you handled this was top notch and very professional. Thanks again Mike, for the honesty, for the work you do in entertaining us all, and educating us all, on this wonderful subject.
I suspect much like trekkies titanic fans are hard to deceive.
Honestly I don't think you need to lose sleep over this. You do incredible work of finding accurate information and explaining it in a way that those who aren't ship nerds will understand, and that results in some editorial judgment and flair. Your overall effort to make sure the facts are represented as a whole in your writing helps educate people more than anything.
Would love to see you do more debunking videos on misinformation like you did on your side channel, that was both educational and quite entertaining!
@OceanlinerDesigns I like many other people here really appreciate and respect your honest mistakes and your commitment to rectify them. Even though occasional mistakes are made, the number is views of subscribers and views in each videos is well earned
... and hope you get better soon! That was one of the better YT videos I have seen recently: graceful acceptance of additional info, declared on-air, to improve the quality of the overall story. You have just earned a "Rob's Respect" badge 👍
This is a great way to address an honest mistake. 😊
Thanks Selina :) Hope you’ve been well!
I learned more from this corrections video than the original video! Kudos for the humility to admit mistakes, and for turning mistakes into opportunities for learning.
I am amazed by the amount of analysis you put in preparing your videos. Being myself an engineer, I could watch them for hours as they are so much informative. Thank you Mike for all this hard work.
You're never too old to learn something new!
Don't get too hung up about the turbine operating with a 9 psia inlet pressure. The turbine really doesn't care if its inlet pressure is above atmospheric or not - it cares what its exit pressure is in relation to its inlet pressure. With a 1 psia exit pressure that's still a 9:1 pressure ratio across the machine, which has a large influence on how much mass flow the machine can handle, and thus its power output.
BTW, the frigate I served on had a 1,200 psi plant - 1,275 psig steam drum pressure, 950 deg F superheater outlet pressure, giving 35,000 SHP at the main reduction gear coupling.
Cheers!
its ok Bradley! we all make mistakes. is it alright if you can make a video about ss Andrea doria?
What a gracious and totally ego free response. So enjoyed the video in question - narrative and graphics - and learned so much. Respect to you for reading all the comments in the first place and taking the time to present this bonus follow up, which has given me a lift on a wet, windy and miserable morning in Liverpool. Thanks Mike, all your productions are absolutely first rate.
Worked in the engine room in the Navy and I must say, your corrections are spot on. And making 'freshwater' was still a major chore even in the 70's and 80's when I served. The engine room uses a lot of water, partly because every little wisp of steam from a valve gland or a shaft seal is freshwater lost. Even if keeping on top of those pesky leaks all the time, every bit adds up.
Not to mention every blast of the ships whistle or saftey valve release for and emergency stop
Besides the corrections, which were fascinating I love this channel because of your class. You should tutor YT presenters on how to dress and respond to criticism. I truly believe that you are my friend Mike Brady. I don't know enough about shipbuilding to correct you but I do trust what you say. Keep up this classy channel!!!!!
S**t Happens, what we _ALL_ love is your intense dedication & effort. Besides, you are our friend, Mike Brady!
PS. Steam engine nerds are _the worst_
I've been into building model steam engines for about a year and I'd have to agree.
Actually, airplane nerds are the worst. Steam enthusiasts will take the opportunity to share their knowledge, whereas airplane geeks just call you a dumbass.
@@deadspyder i haven't experienced that. Most of the steam nerds I have dealt with have acted like anything you do is a safety hazard (of course there are legitimate safety concerns in steam) but won't help you learn.
Yeah, the engine community can be pretty insufferable. I’m a part of it, but I at least try to stay respectful
@@deadspyder Mike's gonna be opening a can of worms with Airliner Designs if that's the case! (Maybe that's why he hasn't uploaded any vids there yet 🤔)
This is absolutely outstanding. There are far too many videos floating around containing massive amounts of technical inaccuracies, and even outright falsehoods. I think this is somewhat understandable, it is unreasonable to expect anyone to have subject matter expert level knowledge across multiple domains. That having been said, seeing someone not only bother to take notice of the details, but actually cover and correct them in a followup is a wonderful breath of fresh air compared to the norm.
While your original video was still far better than most, I truly respect your attention to detail and desire to correct even the smallest of mistakes. Very well done.
Gotta watch out, the steam engine community can put you under a lot of pressure
My Brother, there is a huge, massive, very large difference between you making an honest mistake and someone that intentionally misleads and spreads misinformation for their personal gain...we know that you do everything possible to make sure the information you put in your videos is accurate, everyone makes mistakes, if we all were perfect life would be boring and actually, none of us would have been brought together by your videos 😂 Thank You For Your Time And Effort! As well as all of the people behind the scenes that make it all possible!
It is humbling to see that took your honest mistakes it in stride and ran with them and made us all better and more knowledgeable. Bravo.
Every mistake is an opportunity to learn.
Once again you earn deep respect and appreciation for clearly communicating how 20th century steamships achieved their successful operational efficacy and your lack of hubris enables you to correct minor but significant missteps in your previous presentations, proving you to be a treasure. Thank you!
It's very nice that a UA-camr really respects his viewers and actually thinks what went wrong when they tell him that. Most importantly, you spend time to discuss correct them. Keep up your amazing work!
Excellent job, Mike! I loved the original video and was suspicious of the sea water in the boilers statement, and I’m grateful to the more knowledgeable people who corrected the error. I also suspected the PSIA/PSIG issue (it’s caused confusion in my field, aviation, too). Your expansion on your point here was great!
Nobody knows everything, and everyone can learn something from anyone else. You earn my continued respect for making the corrections and owning the errors. You are a fantastic creator!
I've been a contractor for over 25 years. I do Electrical, Plumbing, hvac, framing etc etc. The point is that even with all my years of experience I still learn things and I am open to listening and learning from somebody else. Which brings me to this point, if people aren't making comments that are constructive to help than all the more power to them, however all too many are just trying to shoot their mouths off and point out everybody else's flaws because they can't deal with their own. It's interesting how people will fight to the death to prove they know that one point. Ironically, that's the high point of their knowledge
As a retired teacher myself, in the engineering language world too, I know how easy it is to make occasional mistakes, or simply to misrepresent facts. My students generally enjoyed putting me straight - and I learned too. Keep up the good work! 🙂
Hello, I'm a mechanic who often had to opportunity to help my co-workers. Rule number one, on my incredibly long, and highly situational, list of rule number ones, was and remains this: The best way to learn about something is to try teaching it to somebody else.
In my opinion, unintentional mistakes are a part of life and not as significant as those made by individuals who intentionally mislead their audience. Keep up the good work Mike, and I look forward to more informative videos from you.
Damn straight 😎
Thank you for this video. It is nice to see a video with multiple corrections.
A little note. 15:38 The reciprocating engines on the Olympic class had two different types of valves. The High pressure cylinder use one piston valve (round in shape) and the Intermediate pressure cylinder used two piston valves. Both Low pressure cylinders used two slide valves (has a flat seat).
Steam goes into the engine due to pressure (not injected) and gets exhausted out of the cylinders due to the reversing stroke of the piston.
I am a steam engine driver and for over twenty years operated a 1911 triple expansion engine in a museum. (The low pressure cylinder was 54" the same size as Titanics high pressure cylinders.)
We can all only do our best. But the champs own their errors.
Mike Brady, not AI after all? 🤔 Does AI make any mistakes? 🤭Steam engines aren't as simple as they appear at first glance. Sea water contains shrimp and sometimes lobster. Thus the name "feed water" When they entered the boiler, they turned red, (this, of course, is where the famous restaurant got it's name.) Anywayz after a while the sailors became tired of eating so much seafood and the engineers at NASA invented a sort of colander to strain out the seafood. It was held in a special tank and then sold to restaurants when in port.
You're a class act. Not only did you acknowledge your errors & set to put them right, but you recommended the channel of one of your critics. Incredibly commendable of you. It's a shame other channels don't do this. You deserve every success & I hope that cold gets better soon!
Remember to be kind to yourself Mike. Mistakes happen and you can only learn from them.
Great reaction on the critics, i must say. A scientist myself, i know how good it is to learn from your experiences. And you did your best by your knowledge in the first video - now getting much more expertise in steam technology from the community.
What a great example of learning in a community and again chapeau to you!
Mike, at least you are man enough to admit when you make a mistake. We are all human after all.
Yo I love these deep dives into how the engines and systems worked, and your "mistakes" actually paved the way for an even deeper dive into the systems, therefore I'd say they're less mistakes and more opportunities to further dive into the wonderful world of why things work the way that they do. Also, very few content creators will actually make a whole video to correct errors, usually they just make a comment that people almost never see, the fact that you made a whole video about this really speaks to the quality of your channel and content as well as your drive to share accurate information. Well done!
15:36
Alright, so who wants to tell him he used the wrong type of valve in the example animatic?
In all seriousness though, good on you for going back and correcting the mistakes in such a polite manner. Not everyone can do that, and even though you had my respect before, you have just doubled that respect.
I am literally, intuitively smarter after watching these more technical videos. Thank you for taking the time to make corrections. Setting a good example for other writers and providing source material for your viewers is class act. A+ 🧐
Of course, this is information given delicately to a group of people, you are unknowingly in a session at a school.
Great show of integrity with a corrections follow up like this. And yes for ships built over 100 years ago they are still marvels of engineering. And to think that the age of sail was not that long before the Titanic's time, it's amazing.
Michael, you're human and at least you have the modesty to admit an inaccuracy when needed. Your followup video, here, more than shows your dedication to providing a most professional presentation. Thanks for what you do.
I like your dialogues with the volunteers. I’m 84. My dad was born in Southampton England in 1902. My grandfather took the family to the docs to see Titanic off. Dad was thrilled.
I am also an 84yr old Cork Head, retired T.H. Pilot Vessel crew and stationed in Marchwood Maritime, I wonder if we know each other? Dischargbook No R647110 Port Line and RFA Oh and Union and Castle (but bI don't usually admit to that one) On Deck.
I hope you weren't in a lot of hot water for these small mistakes XD In all seriousness, I enjoy these videos so much. Each is like a work of art with great visuals, music and great information. Mistakes happen and you addressed and handled them well and it was very nice of others who kindly brought them up and explained them in a kind fashion. Keep up the great work. Each video feels so welcoming and friendly that I just have to stay and watch. Time just flies by with each I feel like I've learned a great deal.
Are we learning something here folks? Beyond the mechanical education here, look down through the comments. When you make a mistake, OWN IT! TAKE RESPONSIBILITY, APOLOGIZE, AND DO WHAT IT TAKES TO FIX IT!!! Everyone makes mistakes. It's what we do afterwards, that defines who we really are, and determines wether we are forgiven, or written off.
Props Mike! your videos are top notch and a mistake is only human. Thanks for all your wonderful content.
Hi Mike,there is an old saying…the man who never made a mistake..NEVER made anything,so carry on what your doing is fine by me.cheers Roly🇬🇧.PS. I made a typo writing this😀😄.
The man who never made a mistake never made anything. It's how you deal with mistakes that matters, and you dealt with these both efficiently and graciously- an admirable example to all of us. And it was great for us viewers, as it made another very interesting video for us too.😉
What if his goal is to make nothing?
You are a consummate CLASS ACT Mike!!!
Don’t beat yourself up about it, no one can can know everything about anything. And you talk about numerous ships in a single months!
I've recently seen a few of your vids and have become a fan. I really appreciate this vid in particular, and want to emphasize that there is a big difference between an honest mistake and misinformation. You do great, Mike - we're all human! And the fact that you make such an effort to correct the record when you make a mistake, in my opinion, dramatically increases your credibility. Thanks for all you do, I love the vids and will subscribe and support.
Agree completely with this comment. Mike, you do a fantastic job and you handle any criticism beautifully. You're a better man than me. I'd take it all personally and lash out. I very much appreciate your work.
it's not a perfect world, we all can slip up. Even with computers in front of most us, many couldn't answer the question of "who was the Board of Trade official that signed Titanic's year operating certificate April 2 1912?" his name not his job description...... most of us couldn't answer Francis Carruthers right off. But then the internet is right in front of us.🙂
Mike. Great follow up, thank you. I'm sure you learned even more than we did. If only others on TV or videos were so honest and thorough. Cheers.
Today I learned there's a "Steam Engine Community." UA-cam really does something for everyone! Well done follow-up!
You are an honorable gentleman, Mike. Well done.
I am always intrigued by the economics. The amount of work/labor required was staggering. It would be nearly impossible today to build in exact replica with exactly the same materials as the cost would be profoundly prohibitive.
This dude just turned an apology video into a full on MVP caliber informational video. That's some witchcraft for sure; but I'm here for it.
But honestly, you don't owe anything more than a "see the pinned comment" type of apology. I'm pretty sure we all know that you're only human, and you obviously try your best to get everything correct the first time.
Very impressive sir. So nice and refreshing to see actual humility and correction of one’s own mistakes, and very well done at that. Good on you, and still one of my favorite UA-cam channels.
Do you think it would be too absurd/possible try to replicate the engines of the RMS Titanic (at least as close as possible) in a functional way with steam? in a homemade way, without resorting to ready-made kits, industrial materials, that is, difficult to access.
Thank you for finally debunking that Oceanliner Designs guy's content. About time that somebody with some actual knowledge made a video on it
Cmon, the best way to find the right answer online is to post the wrong answer.
Youve done nought but deliver the most correct answers, by. Kicking the comment section hornets nest..
Deep breaths, wooo sah, itll be fine, man. 😂
If you want to get the steam engine community angry, just refer to steam engines as “kettles”.
They REALLY don’t like that!
Honestly I really respect that you can admit when you're wrong. Many other UA-camrs would either deny they did anything wrong or just sweep the whole thing under the rug and pretend it never happened. I don't even blame you for getting things wrong either as it's obvious you really do your homework on these subjects and put the most effort you can to make these videos as good as possible
Hi, you actually made a mistake in this vid.
I do enjoy these videos but the mistake had me thinking. Let me explain where you are incorrect and I'll do my best to describe the actual facts in detail.
So the issue is mainly in the section where you stated that...
Read More
An excellent video that presents this information better than actual paid marine engineering lecturers I have studied under.
An addendum to the point about Watt engines for those curious: The Watt engine did run at exclusively under atmospheric pressure but this was because it used the weight of atmosphere on the piston to drive the engine condensive working of the steam rather than the expansive working invented in the early 1800's
A Newcomen (and later Watt) engine filled the cylinder with steam on the upstroke which was done by the motion of the flywheel or weight of the pump rod. The steam would then condense, creating a vacuum under the piston and drawing it down.
Obviously all far beyond the scope of the video but a fun tale from engines before they got put on vehicles,
re: red hot pipes
one night in college i was walking behind some buildings and there were some pipes surrounded by a fence and i could feel heat coming off them. i stared at them with my eyes as wide as possible and it was just barely in the visible end of glowing. i immediately wondered if there was a problem building up and no one was aware of it and if it was glowing red and there was pressure is this a failure about to happen...in my face?! but then i tried to convince myself that just because something is glowing and liquid metal glows that doesn't mean all glowing metal is soft and on the verge of turning liquid. i told myself it could be well within it's solid phase temperature but just happens to have a black body radiation that my eyes can barely detect...so i kinda convinced myself that everything must be ok and that's probably why there was a fence around the pipes. still seeing a dull red really made me think it was about to sag and burst... 🙂
Thank you for correcting yourself. Content like this is still better and more informative than that AI generated clickbait crap.
Well played sir that's a real good thing to admit when your miss informed,or just said something wrong... seems people as a hole have a really hard time just simply being wrong or not quite right 👍👍👍👍👍
Sorry but everybody knows losers always say they did they're best. When the winners go home and do the prom queen ! 🤭 We still appreciate the work you put in.
10:28: You weren't completely wrong. If the water gets to low, it DOES get Red hot... And explodes. Happened with the Sultana in 1865.
could they have stored the coal slightly higher than wherever they were burning it and so just let gravity empty coal into a chute into the burner? that seems like it would save on workers and toil... or even have the engines power sloped conveyor belts if the fuel had to be dumped below the burners it could put it on belts to raise it to the desired locations...(though they'd have to hand start the fires to get the power to get the belts going...)
hey! i kinda new to your channal but saw lots of ur videos... they motivated me to rebuild some of them in minecraft. thanks for the Content and good time i had! :)
Can you pls. do a video about why Steam turbines don't work on locomotives, Button work on Steam ships? (I Pray that you see that comment. So far I was kinda a white elephant around here.😉)
For a long time I was never sure why the reciprocating steam engines in ships like _Titanic_ didn't produce the rhythmic puffing or chugging at the funnels/smokestacks like a railway locomotive (or most other steam-powered land vehicle) did/does. Your videos have finally answered that question once and for all - the closed loop feedwater system. That sound comes from the exhaust steam from the cylinders being ejected into the smokebox and then out the funnel with force, and in so doing it also ejects the coal smoke/gases out of the firebox, drawing air in and aiding combustion. In ships the exhaust steam is condensed back into water and reused, and there is a separate system for increasing the draught over the fires.
Ahhhhh, easy mistake to make. Yesh they don't use seawater in the boilers. Same as they dont use the cooling pond water in coal or nuclear reactors. The cooling pond or cooling tower water is only used to cool the loop or loops of clean water in the powerplant.
Fascinating! Never been on a steamship, but worked in the electric power industry for over 40 years. Spent a lot of time at a 2,300 MW coal fired power plant. Enjoyed many behind the scenes tours during maintenance overhauls. Many similarities. Thank you for the great video. I have been drawn to the Titanic since I was young.
Dude, it’s easy, just preview your coming releases to your discerning viewers…make it a private video
One question I have (Marine engineer with experience working on steam turbine and triple expansion engines) is how you could run saturated steam through the turbine engine. On the ships I worked on, we did run superheated steam and a simple collection system wouldn't be enough. You can get away with some condensation on the reciprocating engines, but not with the turbine where any water that would hit the blades could break the blades. I wonder if they had an additional drying step in between?
Getting stuff perfectly right on UA-cam, is extremely challenging. Dare I say impossible. Props to you for going through and point out things you missed!
I bet to differ, the steam engine works perfectly on both my PC and Steam deck.
The most enjoyable point of this video is listening to someone admit to a mistake and accurately fix it. 👍
Don't sweat it, my dude. Your channel is nothing short of phenomenal. Fair winds and following seas.
One of the content creators who fix their mistakes, well done. New subscriber now
Hey great job on correction. That is so refreshing and honorable. Bravo.
Lovely video.
Also, fun tidbit, on a reciprocating engine, once you get the crank shaft to move, the valve is opened for less and less time (cutoff), eventually only opening for just a little bit as the piston reaches the top (bottom) to fill the small volume with high pressure steam and for the rest of the cycle it's closed, letting the small, high-pressure volume expand before exhausting into the next stage. Just a small detail I picked up as a steam nerd :)
Fun fact. The Doble steam cars used superheated steam to be ready to drive in 90 seconds and achieve their incredible efficiency
9:00 Even with the water catchers, the water hammer on that ship had to be ridiculously loud!
Awesome vid!
Watched and caught the errors, even with them I enjoyed watching the video.
No big everyone makes miss takes lol at least you did a video to correct it unlike many creators.
I just happened to stumble over the previous video last evening and watched it. As a retired mechanical engineer versed in steam tables, thermodynamics and heat transfer I caught most of the errors. But then I could not put together an informative video like you can to save my life! Correcting this way shows excellent professionalism. Excellent job and now you have another subscriber just because of that. Keep up the good work.
Mike, I enjoy watching your videos so don't take to heart your small errors as I am sure it takes a lot of research to produce these and easy to slip up along the way. Also unless you have a back ground of the topic it would be easy to make the odd mistake. Being a marine engineer myself I couldn't imagine trying to produce a video on how a computer works. Cheers Ian
I am a farmer and I Kown a lot about steam ships, but I get it from you.
A man that admits his mistakes 👌💪 that’s why I love youtube if your wrong about something they will let you know in the comments! We all learn of each other 👍
Hello Mike, new member here.
Just a quick question - where can I find the link to the Discord?
