23:45And of course, it has a high bypass ratio, meaning that portion of the air that enters
23:48the engine bypasses the core and is expelled directly from the back.
23:52That design reduces fuel consumption and noise levels while increasing efficiency again.
23:56It features lightweight and high-strength materials, such as carbon fiber composites
24:00in its fan blades and other components.
24:02Those materials help reduce weight and increase fuel efficiency.
24:05The GE-9X incorporates some state-of-the-art digital tech, too, for enhanced control and
24:10monitoring.
24:11It utilizes that FADAC system to optimize engine performance, fuel consumption, and
24:15emissions.
24:16Power and efficiency make it an ideal choice for long-haul flights and larger passenger
24:20craft.
24:21Its capabilities allow the Boeing 777X to achieve extended range.
24:24It sets new standards for efficiency, performance, and environmental sustainability.
24:29The GE-9X showcases General Electric's commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology and
24:34delivering engines that revolutionize the aviation industry.

25:19Kingdom in the mid-19th century.
25:21The immense dimensions were necessary to meet that ever-increasing demand for clean water
25:25in the rapidly expanding city.
25:27The towering structure dominated the landscape and was a source of awe for all who witnessed
25:32its operations.
25:33Harvey & Co., a renowned engineering company based in Hale and Cornwall, is well known
25:37for their expertise in constructing these large steam engines.
25:41The engine's size required meticulous planning and execution, making it a crowning achievement
25:46for both the company and the era.
25:48The power of the Grand Junction 100-Inch Engine was unparalleled during its time.
25:52With its mighty steam-driven pistons, the engine could generate an astonishing amount
25:56of force, driving the massive water pumps required for the Grand Junction Waterworks.
26:00The engineering principles behind this engine were groundbreaking for the era.
26:04Its designers employed cutting-edge techniques, making it one of the most advanced steam
26:08engines of its time.
26:09Throughout its operational life, the engine played a critical role in providing water
26:13for the people of London.
26:14It became an iconic symbol of progress and a testament to the possibilities of engineering.
26:19Moreover, it demonstrated the capability of Industrial Revolution-era innovations to improve
26:24the lives of ordinary citizens.
26:26Today, the legacy of the Grand Junction 100-Inch Engine lives on in the annals of engineering
26:31history.
26:32Although no longer in active service, it remains an enduring testament to the brilliance of
26:36Harvey & Co. and the advancements in steam technology of the 19th century.
26:40The monumental achievements of this engine continue to inspire and captivate, leaving
26:45a lasting impact on the world of engineering and beyond.
