State-of-the-Art Sensors for Oldest Working Beam Engine in the World

Posted on

The Boulton and Watt steam engine, originally installed in 1812, is the oldest working beam engine in the world.

It is on this 200-year-old steam engine that engineers want to install the latest state-of-the-art sensors and instrumentation to monitor position, speed and acceleration of the piston.

This Mechatronics Project – ‘marrying 200 years of technology’ – has 5 main aims.
