Parsons marine steam turbines
Parsons marine steam turbines. Diagram from above showing the arrangement of Parsons marine steam turbines in a ships hull. At centre are three turbines, and at right and left are condensors for the steam. High-pressure steam is used to directly drive the turbines, which are connected to the ships propellers. This design was produced by the Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Company, a British shipbuilding company founded in 1897 by Charles Algernon Parsons (1854-1931). Parsons is credited with inventing the first steam turbine

This print showcases the intricate arrangement of Parsons marine steam turbines within a ship's hull. The diagram, viewed from above, reveals three powerful turbines positioned at the center, flanked by condensers on either side to handle the steam. The high-pressure steam generated is channeled directly into driving these turbines, which are connected to the ship's propellers for propulsion. The design featured in this artwork was created by the renowned British shipbuilding company, Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Company. Founded in 1897 by Charles Algernon Parsons, an ingenious inventor credited with pioneering the first-ever steam turbine. His groundbreaking invention revolutionized marine engineering and propelled ships with unprecedented efficiency. This monochromatic illustration beautifully captures both the historical significance and technological prowess behind this innovation. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity in harnessing energy from hot steam to power transportation across waterways. As we delve into this mesmerizing cross-section of machinery and history, we are transported back in time to witness how advancements in industrial technology have shaped our world today. This technical drawing not only provides insight into the inner workings of a steam turbine but also represents a pivotal moment in scientific progress that forever changed maritime transportation. With its blend of artistry and engineering precision, this print from Science Photo Library offers us a glimpse into an era where imagination met practicality to propel humanity forward on waves of innovation.
