A Ship’s Propeller

1. Words on the text.

1. Read the text and answer the following questions.

1.
What is the form of a ship’s propeller? 2. Where is the propeller
situated? 3. When were the first experiments with propeller carried
out? 4. What was the speed of an Australian ship at Trieste in the
1820s? 5. What is the speed of modern ships? 6. When was the English
ship Archimedes tested? 7. What accident helped the Archimedes to
increase the speed? 8. What discovery was made by Smith?

1. Read
   the text again and tell: 1) about the operation of the ship’s
   propeller, 2) the idea of Bernouilli, a Swiss scientist, 3) the
   Austrian ship, 4) the Archimedes tested in 1838, 5) Smith’s
   discovery.

   A Ship’s
   Propeller

All
big ships are now driven by engines of some kind, and usually by
steam engines or oil engines. These turn the propeller, which is in
the water at the back of the ship. It is in the form of a screw
(винт).
When it turns, it pushes the ship forwards just as s wood-screw goes
forwards into a piece of wood when it is turned. Our present
propellers are the result of experiments made about 1835; but the
idea was not new then.

Bernouilli
was a Swiss scientist who described a screw for ships in 1752, but he
could not make any real tests. At that time there were no good
engines for ships, and his idea remained only an idea.

Seventy
years later the same idea was again in the minds of engineers. An
Austrian, Ressel, built a small ship at Trieste. It had a long screw
at the back which drove the ship forwards at about 7 ½ knots. One
knot is speed of 6,080 feet (1,852 metres) per hour. Some modern
ships travel at 30 knots, so 7 ½ knots was not very fast. But the
screw did its work, and Ressel was pleased. His experiment did not
fail completely; but unhappily there was an explosion in the ship’s
engines, and after that Ressel did not try again.

In
1836 an Englishman, Francis Pettit Smith, had a ship, the Archimedes,
which had a metal screw at the back. It was too long in fact; but at
that time engineers knew little about ship’s propellers.

The
Archimedes was tested in 1838, and everybody was pleased when it
moved forwards. It had reached a speed of 4 knots when suddenly a
loud noise was heard. Smith stopped the engine and went to look at
the screw. A bottle had got under it and had broken half of it off;
the other half remained, but Smith was not sure that he could reach
land again.

He
could not just stay there, and so he started the engine again to see
what would happen. The ship began to move slowly. The broken screw
was not useless. Smith was pleased; but soon the ship was going so
fast that he was very surprised.

Smith
had made a discovery: a short screw worked well. Later he discovered
that a short screw worked better than a long one. With a short one
the Archimedes reached a speed of 13 knots, and it once sailed from
Portsmouth to Oporto (Portugal) in 70 hours.

Today
most big ships are driven by propellers. These are turned by oil
engines in modern ships.
