Starting historical engines has always been an almost impossible task. I have great respect for all professionals who dare to undertake this. Thank you for your work!

Hearing the sound of these giant engines, I was excited and enjoyed like a 4-year-old child. Good luck.

You and me both!

It's a wonderful thing that there are people who are willing to take the time and effort to restore them.

Back in 1966 I worked on a tugboat named the Gwen ed. It was towing a barge that was once a WWII LCM stripped down to be a bulk carrier. We would pick up a barge load of pumas from the Island of Dominica and tow it to Saint Thomas Virgin Islands, and then back to Dominica for another load. The tug was built back around 1920, and originally was powered by a steam engine, a few years later it was converted to diesel. The Engine was a 6-cylinder Fairbanks- Morse with 14 inch pistons with a 17 inch stroke. While maneuvering if by accident it stopped dead center, we had to engage a worm gear on the shaft to hand crank it into position to start a stroke. If I remember correctly it might have had a hot spot. Now that I'll be 80 years old next year, I feel proud to have worked on a machine that was powered by such an engine, back then in my youth I did not realize what this engine was, I assumed most tugs had them or some variation of it. I sailed on merchant steamships before that job. I was used to B&W water tube boilers and steam turbines, I always wanted to sail on a ship driven by a triple-expansion steam engine, but never got to experience it. Although I worked on an old Wiley Whirly as the fireman-oiler-water tender that was powered by a fire tube boiler. That was in 1971 on the Chesapeake Bay across from Fort McHenry driving a steam-powered pile driver for a new pier. I also remember a friend of mine when I was in New Brighton High School whose father had about 7 or 8 hit-and-miss engines in his garage, they were small. The Amish around Beaver and Lawrence counties were permitted to use them. We used to call them gas-powered washing machine motors.

Love the sounds of these old girls; music to my ears!

I love machines, when everything is lined up, they have to work. No excuses, no complaints, they just work!

Can't believe how advanced we've become!

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE a chunky sounding morse engine

Great video, back when quality and durability meant something. Love this stuff!! I’m sure most of us watching and enjoying this would love to find an old hit-n-miss in a barn and bring it back to its original glory!

71 year old Millwright /machinist that worked on so many prime movers from one lunger, hit and miss to massive compressors. They just get into your blood.

I could watch these engines run for hours. I'm 57 now. I still remember my father carrying me to see the huge engine in the cocoa factory which I believe was used to run the estate's genny. I love engines. Especially these.

Every one of these sweet old brutes sings it's own song. Love it!

I really enjoyed watching this outstanding collection of old engines. Thank you so much.

Those first Fairbanks are really majestic!

Looks like some engines are at the Cool Springs Power Museum. Love the sounds of the Fairbanks Morse.

Thank you for uploading this, subtitles, information & all! 🇺🇸 👍☕

I love the sound of that locomotive engine

The v16 locomotive engines valve train was impressive and sounded great

I'd like to see that Bentley-Packard with PT boat engine on the track. very cool....

would have been cool to see a quick description of what each of these engines job was in it's previous life

You can't call this a video lauding the sounds of classic old engines and their sounds when half of the videos are sped up so we still don't know what they REALLY sounded like!!!

14:02 the marine diesel sounds great to i love that turbo sound

Completely astonishing! It's a pleasant and surprising revelation.

19.40.......I was expecting some Roast Chicken in that jet engine start up.

It's always ashame they not load those fairbanks that sound should be amazing

Good info, but dates would be nice. It's good to see these old engines live again!

No one appears to have noticed that the entire video is show back to front. It's all a mirror image of what it should be.

420h p out of 300 rpm, impressive 👍

Great Sounds. Great old machinery. Sadly they want to take all this away from us.

Pull your head out of the sand and start paying attention. Gotta love the sheep who "who is "they" as if it's some kind of gotcha moment. It's not.

It's tragic that some of these videos have either blocked out or distorted over 2/3 of the screen! A lot of people wish that people would learn to use the entire widescreen that they have available! Thank you.

Interesting video but I found it annoying some of the images were flipped

Old engines but boy they still work well 😂😂

Those twin Cylinder engines remind me of the engine in the "beast of Turin"

5:50 pretty radical preheat.

@ 11:10 The description for the RR Griffon V12. Says it has 36 pistons and cylinders? Each cylinder generates 35 horsepower and you have multiplied 36 cylinders by 35 to arrive at 1,260hp. It's a V12, which means it has 12 pistons and 12 cylinders and the Mk 57 and 58 made between 2350 and 2450hp

@21:30 A Cat 3406 engine is 14.6 liters in displacement not 10.5

at that speed how the propellers didn't fly apart I will never know

17:54 Radial Beetle... Hmm... I don't know where those specs and the story came from, though. All THAT for mere 90 ponies and 2,4 liters? What we are actually seeing here is an extremely modded californian VW Beetle that received a huge (for a Beetle) Continental W670-9A engine and that - supposedly, from some pics from the net - is going to be modded to be airscrew propelled (what is seen here is the original cooling fan). The W670-9A was a WW2 era improvement of the R-670 7-cylinder four-stroke radial aircraft engine produced by Continental in the '30s. The W670-9A displaces 668 cu-in (or 10946 cc, about 11 litres), has 250 HPs at 2,500 rpm and weights a puny 465 lb / 211 kg. The R670 / W670 engines were also used on many aircraft in the 1930s and 1940s, the W670-9A in particular was used in american M3, M3A1 & M3A3 Stuart light tanks in WW2 . It's not a particularly rare engine (7k-10k USD in running conditions), so it's often used for mad modifications or even agricultural stuff

Volkswagen also didnt design a radial engine, it was a continental radial engine that powered m3 tanks. 17:58

According to General Motors Corp. engine sizing, if the engine shown here at 31:54 mark is a 12V149, then should not the total cubic inch displacement be approximately 1788 and not 855 as shown?

Where do you get parts for a 100 year old engine? Paul

4:07 those green leaves just loove all that carbon dioxide .....

Great engine one and all but my question is why is all the lettering backwards on most of the videos just a observation

Sorry to tell you this, but you talked complete nonsense with the RR Griffon. It is a V12 engine. It has TWELVE cylinders and pistons, NOT 36. So the power per cylinder is 105 hp NOT 35 hp.

Best video I’ve seen in ages. Shame GDSF is of. Well end I’ve done to bits.

The fire from the exhaust @14:50 onwards and 20:30 means lot of energy lost.

It appears several of the clips were digitized backwards. Most editing software should let you flip the images to the correct form.

11:05 Are you sure about that ? A V12 engine with 56 pistons and cylinders ????? Where did they put the extra 24 cylinders ?

They should put a brake to the engines to run them on load , it would be muchnmore interesting

If my electric bill goes up any more I may look into these...

A V12 with 36 piston’s? 11:16 a V12 famously has 12 piston’s not 36. lol 🤣😂🤣😂 Apart from that the engines sound awesome 👍🇬🇧

And where is the engine of the picture?

Some clips are sped up then others aren't. Hard to follow.

some of this information is so inaccurate. for instance,,, the CAT 3406B was 14.6L not 10.5..!!

What is it with all the backwards videos???

@9:00..The Case 150 is not a twin cylinder!.... It is a double acting single cylinder with a shit load of power..

Ummm...... Rolls Royce Griffon WAS indeed a V-12 , so where the hell did you get the 36 written in the Text ? Poor Proof reading ? There were a number of other errors in the text . Some glaringly Obvious . For instance , a 3406 Cat Engine is NOT 10.7 litres . 15.7 . Content is Great , but Please , fact check any Text/Tiles/Descriptions that You provide OR have a disclaimer .

@bobsnotmyuncle3956

3 ай бұрын

Usually it's because the video is ripped off from someone else. they inverted so it can fool the copyright bots. it's also probably why the speed as been altered on some other clips

My only “complaint” is that when you showed the specs, you didn’t show THE most important one: TORQUE. Horsepower was meaningless, as these weren’t built for HP; they were built for massive torque.

Engine design has come a long way through the years, but now quality seems to be lacking .

@32:00 a 12V149 engine is 1788 cubic inches not 855, the nomenclature of the engine gives you the displacement 149 cubic inches per cylinder. Whoever checked the information on this video needs to google it rather than make it up as they went along. Very poor.

the debt we owe to clock makers.

@21:10 its an 11 cylinder, one them is dead.

I would hope that the United States government shared in the cost of this development. I realize it's a political battle, but private enterprise does take a lot of risks to drive the technology.

16:11 It's not an overhead camshaft engine. You can even see the rockers... What you meant is an overhead valve engine. Please do better research or don't say anything at all. That wasn't the only misinformation I've found in this video.

And not a Cooper/ Bessemer in the bunch.

a steam traction engine

Why is Evertthing Backwards, ?????

For corn sakes when ya show engine, show the name plate.

18:03 Hate to say this , bullshit . If that engine is 2380 cc and 90 hp I'll eat my hat !

Where is the engine of the picture ??? 👎

Eh, I've worked on bigger

where is Greta?

Pity a lot of images/video are flipped/mirrored so you cant read shit.

You Invert the videos horizontally, to make the viewers believe seeing a new point of view with the same footage. With this trick you get longer videos, repeating the same footage several times. You take your viewers for idiots, I guess

So many ways to die.

18:03 2.380 cc, no, that might be each cylinder. 21:36 It can't pull mountains, literally my ass, why say literally, it's literally a lie.

What are pistons? Or do they mean pistols? Putting a pistol on an engine makes no sense, though. Or did they try to create an engined pistol? Would be sick. Imagine a pistol with a nuclear engine firing up rounds with like a billion rounds per minute :O
