Engine order telegraph. An engine order telegraph or E.O.T., also referred to as a Chadburn, [1] is a communications device used on a ship (or submarine) for the pilot on the bridge to order engineers in the engine room to power the vessel at a certain desired speed.
Overspeed. Overspeed is a condition in which an engine is allowed or forced to turn beyond its design limit. The consequences of running an engine too fast vary by engine type and model and depend upon several factors, the most important of which are the duration of the overspeed and the speed attained. With some engines, a momentary overspeed ...
Steam Link is a stand-alone hardware device to enable streaming of Steam content from a personal computer or a Steam Machine wirelessly to a television set, including integration of Steam Controller gamepad. The device was released along with the debut of Steam Machines in November 2015. [ 2] Valve quietly discontinued the Steam Link in ...
The Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System ( EMALS) is a type of electromagnetic catapult system developed by General Atomics for the United States Navy. The system launches carrier-based aircraft by means of a catapult employing a linear induction motor rather than the conventional steam piston. EMALS was first installed on the lead ship of ...

A booster engine is used to start a heavy train or maintain low speed under demanding conditions. Rated at about 300–500 horsepower (220–370 kW) at speeds from 10 to 35 mph (16–56 km/h), it can be cut in while moving at speeds under 12–22 mph (19–35 km/h) and is semi-automatically cut out via the engineer notching back the reverse ...
Slow steaming is the practice of operating transoceanic cargo ships, especially container ships, at significantly less than their maximum speed. [1] In 2010, an analyst at the National Ports and Waterways Institute stated that nearly all global shipping lines were using slow steaming to save money on fuel. [2] [3]
A key requirement for the high-speed steam engine was accurate control of a constant speed, even under a rapidly changing load. Although the control of steam engines via a centrifugal governor dates back to Watt, this control was inadequate. These early governors operated a throttle valve to control the flow of steam to the engine. This gives ...
