  • :This article is about the locomotive "Blücher". See also "Blücher" Blücher was an early railway locomotive built in 1814 by George Stephenson for Killingworth Colliery. Blücher was the first successful locomotive incorporating the following design features: *Flanged wheels keeping the locomotive on the track *Traction relying only on the friction of wheels on rails *Cylinder rods directly connected to the wheels Blücher had the ability to pull a train of 30 tons at a speed of 4 mph. It was named after the Prussian general Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, who, after a speedy march, arrived in time to the battle of Waterloo and helped defeat Napoleon. Stephenson was not satisfied with the Blücher’s performance, but the lessons learned from its design allowed him to develop the steam blast, which allowed exhaust steam to go up the chimney, pulling air behind it and increasing draught. This greatly improved performance on subsequent models. Blücher did not survive: Stephenson recycled its parts as he developed more advanced models. (en)
  • La Blucher fu una locomotiva primitiva, costruita nel 1814 dall'ingegnere britannico George Stephenson per la miniera di carbone Killingworth. Fu in effetti la prima locomotiva funzionante ad esser progettata con *ruote flangiate che la mantenevano sui binari *trazione del mezzo legata solamente alla frizione delle ruote stesse al suolo *bielle che connettevano direttamente il cilindro alla ruota stessa. La Blucher, che prese il nome dal generale prussiano Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher che aveva aiutato la Gran Bretagna a sconfiggere Napoleone a Waterloo, riusciva a trasportare 30 tonnellate a una velocità di circa 4 miglia orarie.
