My kid absolutely adores things that are really big
When my hubby explained that there is so much pressure inside an industrial boiler that it could entirely blow up, of course that’s what his little mind wanted to see! Of course, he didn’t actually understand the actual power of the boiler! He also wanted to hear all about how the boiler functions, so his dad patiently explained how it all works to him
When my kid was very young, nothing fascinated him more than large seasoned things. Waiting for the large brown delivery truck was a really fun experience for him. Passing a semi on the way somewhere had him attempting to hang out the car window, but it’s good all of us had him strapped in! I took him to a farm open house on one occasion, but he didn’t really care at all about the different farm animals. When the tractor came out, that’s when his face really lit up… That’s why his dad took him to work one day to show him all the large stuff used at his place of employment every day! Most exciting to little Jack was the industrial boiler room. The industrial boilers are basically constructed of very thick welded metal. When my hubby explained that there is so much pressure inside an industrial boiler that it could entirely blow up, of course that’s what his little mind wanted to see! Of course, he didn’t actually understand the actual power of the boiler! He also wanted to hear all about how the boiler functions, so his dad patiently explained how it all works to him. The boiler uses a flame (even more fun for a youngster!) to heat up a bunch of water in the boiler tank. The water turns to steam, and large pumps in the boiler room push the water into these really big pipes, where it gets used by whoever is in need of it! In this case, the industrial boilers feed the bottling plant where my hubby happened to be working… He told him the boiler system’s pipes were so sizable, he could walk straight through them, and little Jack’s eyes got as large as saucers! Many years later, when the plant had to get a mobile boiler rental service, Jack was excited all over again!
