The 1889 Foundry Machine Critics Laughed At — Until It Ran 120 Years Straight

The 1889 Foundry Machine Critics Laughed At — Until It Ran 120 Years Straight This video tells the story of the 1889 foundry blower engine, the strange-looking cast-iron machine critics mocked as crude, inefficient, and old-fashioned. We cover why foundry workers doubted its odd pump-driven airflow system, why engineers predicted it would wear out quickly, and how larger factories refused to adopt it. The episode then shows how the blower ran almost continuously for more than a century — supplying air for cupola furnaces, powering melting operations, and outlasting every motor meant to replace it. With massive bearings, oversized cylinders, and simple mechanics, it became one of the longest-running machines in industrial history. Like and Subscribe to ‪@MachineArchivesYT‬
