One of the best videos on this subject I have seen. Not only do we get to see the engine start and slowly come to a halt after shutdown, but there is even a functional model with one cylinder cut away to reveal the opposing piston design. The video also includes shots of the enormous valves as well a valve along with its valve pocket. Shots of the starting compressor are shown too. To top it all off, the video quality is very good, and the video is not overly long (time wise). Bravo.

One would break a rod which would go through the crankcase, shoot across the engine bay and then put a hole in the other engine which would then fail even more spectacularly as it tried to take an instantaneous doubling in load.

Many British shipping companies had ships with these main engines and I sailed on several vessels with either twin 6-cyl or single 8-cylinder installations.

When I was serving active duty U.S. Coast Guard onboard Cutter Hamilton (WHEC-715), she had two Fairbanks-Morse inline 12 cylinder two cycle oppose piston diesel main propulsion engines. We would joke that the emblem of “O-P” meant oil pump because the lower air box covers would constantly leak lube oil. These engines had two huge turbochargers at the front feeding into a huge scavenger charger pushing the compressed air into the air boxes. At first, on the Atlantic side we were using marine grade heavy diesel fuel oil to lube the pop injectors, but after crossing the Panama Canal to change of duty stations from Boston MA to San Pedro CA, the liberal west coast climate change cultists forced us to use a thinner JP4/JP5 aviation fuel, we were forced to modify the injectors. The injectors were center mounted in each cylinder.

The starting air was kept on until the engine had completed one full revolution, the lever is then pushed further up to cut off the starting air and start the fuel injection. On our ships, Blue funnel, if it didn't start first time it cost you around of beers for all the engineers, These engines had to be warmed up to operating temperature with steam from the donkey boiler for some 6 hours before starting, otherwise you get cracked liners and pistons.

Not anymore. It has been totally cut off from the grid (they don’t run the exciters anymore when they run the engine). But it was until quite recently kept as a backup in case something like a black start of the grid would be necessary and occasionally as a buffer at peak utilisation. It was run for real in the 1990s, maybe even a few years into the 2000s. I don’t remember exactly when it was permanently mothballed. But it is great that the enthusiasts managed to keep it in running condition and created the wonderful little engineering museum around it. Last time I was there for a start the museum had free admission, so if you are in Copenhagen on an open day and you have just the mildest interest in engineering history it is a no-brainer to go visit them.
