What is rms titanic engines?

The RMS Titanic was powered by two reciprocating steam engines that drove a pair of four-bladed wing propellers. The engines were located in the ship's engine room and were powered by steam generated from 29 boilers.

The reciprocating engines had a combined horsepower of 46,000 and were the largest and most powerful engines of their time. Each engine weighed approximately 720 tons and measured 63 feet long, 19.5 feet wide, and 27 feet high.

The engines ran on coal, which was shoveled into the boilers by a team of workers. The steam generated from the boilers was sent to the engines, where it powered pistons that turned the propellers.

The engines could propel the Titanic at a maximum speed of 23 knots (26.5 mph) and were designed to be highly efficient, using 50 tons of coal per day.

Unfortunately, the engines were not enough to prevent the Titanic from sinking after hitting an iceberg on its maiden voyage in April 1912, resulting in one of the deadliest maritime disasters in history.
