Internal Fire – Museum Of Power

The Internal Fire – Museum of Power is a museum of internal combustion engines in West Wales. The museum's collection is mostly of larger stationary diesel engines, as used for generating sets and pumping stations. The museum is located at Tanygroes, Ceredigion, near Cardigan. ExhibitsMost of the engines are restored to working order. Each day, a range of engines will be in operation during the museum's opening. On special occasions, at Easter and the second weekend in October, an attempt is made to run as many of the engines as possible. DieselThe museum operates the oldest working diesel engine in the UK, a 1912, Sulzer single cylinder, Air-blast injection Diesel, an example of the original Rudolf Diesel design. SteamThe museum houses over 200 tons of working engines in nine Halls and is in the process of creating a new Steam Hall which will house a 1903, J & E Wood, 500hp tandem compound along with an 1879, John Penn, twin cylinder oscillating paddle steamer as well as a number of smaller engines including the only surviving Petter steam engine. In 2017, the museum's second Engineering Heritage Award exhibit arrived. A 1901, 140 bhp three cylinder Willans engine generating set had been used until 1957 at the Maples furniture shop in London. On retirement this had been placed on display at the original Willans factory in Rugby
