This 80hp steam engine drove pumps in the next room. These moved water from the harbor up to a resevoir connected to the San Sousci fountain. It's good to be the king.
Unesco World Heritage
Het Woudagemaal te Lemmer – in de provincie Friesland – werd in 1920 geopend. Het is het grootste stoompompstation ooit gebouwd en nog steeds in bedrijf. Het vertegenwoordigt het hoogtepunt van de bijdrage van Nederlandse ingenieurs en architecten in het beschermen van hun volk en land tegen de natuurlijke krachten van het water. Overtollig water werd oorspronkelijk afgevoerd door middel van windmolens. Het eerste gebruik van stoom voor het wegpompen van water gebeurde in 1825 aan de Arkelse Dam, nabij Gorinchem. De bouw van met stoom aangedreven pompstations bereikte zijn hoogtepunt tussen 1870 en 1885.

Steam pump station Wouda
The Woudagemaal in Lemmer - in the province of Friesland - was opened in 1920. It is the largest steam pump station ever built and still in operation. It represents the culmination of the contribution of Dutch engineers and architects in protecting their people and land against the natural forces of water. Excess water was originally removed by means of windmills. The first use of steam for pumping water was done in 1825 on the Arkel Dam, near Gorinchem. The construction of steam-driven pumping stations reached its peak between 1870 and 1885.
