Model of a Pair of Hydraulic Forge Bellows, Rijkswerf Rotterdam, c. 1800 - c. 1815 demonstration model Model of a hydraulic bladder ballg on ground board. It consists of a barrel that is hung horizontally in two forks and can be turned back and forth by means of a lever a quarter circle. The space inside has been transformed by a tube in the ash direction into an endless circle, which is finished in turn by a shot placed in the longitudinal direction between the outside and inner wall on top of the tube. On the one hand, an input valve with chamois leather valve is applied on either side of this shot, on the other side outgoing valves, to which a ventilation pipe is connected. If the vessel is now filled with water, the space that remains for air is divided into two compartments: by turning the barrel back and forth, they become alternately larger and smaller, because the water surface remains horizontal. This is how the air flow is established. The ventilation pipe is bent so that the end runs the same with the rotation axis, and connects to a fixed pipe in a wall behind the bladder ball. A double water tank has been installed in the floor between barrel and wall: one part is sealed from above and connected to the other by a slot at the bottom of the shot; The closed part is connected to the ventilation pipe with a vertical pipe. model maker: Rotterdamafter design by: United Kingdom wood (plant material). brass (alloy). chamois (animal material)
