Wow! You're right! It's a 1930s Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 airplane engine... I'm mind blown by that, I couldn't figure it out. I'll update the title.

@@RemoteTrooperin western Oregon. There is a World War II airplane museum. There is a standing building big enough to put a Zepplin in it 😲and in amongst all the stuff was a Rolls-Royce engine like that …that had a bullet ….a big bullet had hit one of the pistons and locked it up. and they tore it down enough so you can see where the big ass bullet stopped the piston. That must have been shot from a BIG gun . Great show , thank you 👍🏼

@@RemoteTrooper when we went there 12? Years ago …way up by the top of the zeppelin hanger . 150’ ? The workers had put basket ball hoops at each end 😎. You could just barely see them … but there they were 👍🏼 very cool 😎

That engine powered the English Spitfire fighter and the Lancaster bombers during WWII--- cool -

6:20 The oil pan on it explains why it was dumped, it dropped a piston and the connecting rod busted through the pan 😂 Most likely was used as an anchor

One thing I'll always remember about Lake Mead in the seventies used to go there to water ski remember waking up at the campground and it was like 100° at 5 or 6 in the morning flies all over you in your face flip flops were the biggest thing you had to get those on your feet in a hurry the sand dirt whatever like 500 Degrees I think we spent about 95% of our time in the water poor dog your dog is definitely not a heat dog and being black probably absorbs all that heat even worse hope his paws are alright stay cool

I just just love your dog Bear, well behaved and he seems to enjoy your travels...also your videos never cease to amaze me, thanks once again.

I love exploring out in the desert . No humans to ruin your day . Peace and quiet . Nice .😊

It'd make a great coffee table for the Man Cave.

The big engine, is a Packard V1650 aero engine. Possibly a -7 variant from a P-51 Mustang. Not a Rolls Royce Merlin, but the Detroit built version for USAF.

Thank you For sharing your aventures! I lived in Phoenix for sometime I’m not a fan of the high temperatures even though people say it’s a dry heat it’s still friggin hot.

Your puppy dog is a cutie!

Reminds me of the atom bomb(septic tank)Joe Dirt found😂

Thanks for another great trip, I always look forward to your videos because they're just casual and you show things that catch your eye and I guess they're usually things I'd be interested in, too, so for me it's like being there, also. I like your dog, too, he looks like good company! :^) I sincerely appreciate your time and thanks again .. looking forward to your next video, I think they're great!

Nice video, I’ve watched your 1:34 content for the past year and enjoy your work. I just subscribed.

I love you Bear, even though you just bark your head off at me whenever we see each other 😂❤

Glad I found you guys. Bear is a good boy and seems to be a good companion.. Enjoyed all the content so far.

Thank you for the video, keep them coming I do enjoy watching since I can't be there myself. Also I love that dog, take good care of him.

I really enjoyed this one, thank you

They got hot socks for dogs so they can go on the sidewalk and asphalt when it's hot without burning their feet. Very reasonably priced- please check out some for your pup.

They raced unlimited hydroplanes powered by Rolls Merlins, Packard Merlins and Allisons: all V12 engines in the 1950’s. Many boats blew their engines due to extreme stress on the motor due to excessive rpm’s. Sending a connecting Rod through the block would render the motor fairly useless at a time these were still WWII surplus. Perhaps a boat owner offered the hydroplane owner money for the “useless” block, and it became a HEAVY anchor.

Great video!

your dog is so cute ! i love him !

Love your dog, reminds me of our old dog Jess

I enjoy going with you on your adventures. Your videos are always so interesting. Give Bear a hug from me.

i like you vidieos i live in parhump

I've been meaning to explore there. Thanks for the perspective. I'd love to off road to some cool, remote beaches .

I miss seeing your pup in your adventures

thanks for the update and omg hope all is ok from that fire house fire ?

News says it was a truck and boat that caught on fire 🤷‍♂️

Maybe whatever has Bear spooked is seismic.

Bashful Bear doesn't seem too happy about the heat🤣 We get that look too like "why are you going out there??" First time seeing that engine, cool finds👍 That thing is HUGE! Looks like it's not that far from going back under either

In the 1950s there was a Canadian Hydrofoil race boat that had a 2,000 HP Rolls Royce Griffin engine in it. You can see it in this video link below at about 8:12 minutes in. It had a It still exists but it would have been cool to have seen a boat similar racing across Lake Meade back in the day. kzread.info/dash/bejne/h3Wlttaif5fXqKg.html

Just sayin; We have a place up here where you can walk your dog without a leash! Go in and out the store and a nearby chapel and if they see you with a leash they ask you to remove the leash. It's sort of a magical place where all dogs seem to get along with one another..

I think your dog was picking up some weird energy.

I've said before...great channel! Those are good trucks. A/C is one thing but you're gonna have bigger troubles if you don't put the timing belt covers back on. Just sayin.

Just checked, I believe you are right. Marine Merlin. Still a noteworthy engine, probably has an interesting lineage..

Kinda thinking that's a RR Merlin. Those are spark plug cables in the valley and there's a big ole honkin' blower on the back. Judging by the holes in the front case and the oil pan, my guess is it was repurposed as an anchor.

Oh that makes sense, so it basically has a gigantic built in turbo shaped crank driven supercharger?

@1crustyoldmsgtretired870

Жыл бұрын

@@RemoteTrooper something like that. It's a centrifugal supercharger like the compressor side of a turbo. It's driven from the crank through a gearing system. It may have even been a 2 speed supercharger.

It's definitely a Merlin engine but it has a supercharger and intercooler which would not be required on a marine engine. So I would conclude that this Merlin engine was designed to be fitted into an aircraft. The supercharger and intercooler looks like the Merlin licenced to be manufactured by Packard for the P51 Mustang, the V-1650-7. As for why it's there? Well, that sure is a mystery!

they used to put those engines into race boats in the 70s

Worth hauling out of there because it worth 1 to 2 grand as is plus for parts . More then likely end up there due to a rod going through the block .

Awesome finds! Did you raise bear from when he was a puppy?

@NoNonsenseKnowHow Will it run?

Looks like a Rolls-Royce merlen v12 or a Packard v12

Most likely a Packard Merlin. from a PT boat I see that it blew a rod.

Where are your timing belt covers?

hi

Could be just the clutch

they used to put those engines in boats and race them.

😂if it's a Merlin it is certainly very valuable. I suspect it it's park property. It's there due to some incedent. History

Why in the hell do you have your dog out in that heat?

over charged .

if you look around that rolls royce engine there should be a skeleton tons of guys died after putting an engine with that power in a boat

never ever an airplane engine, NO ! no propeller shaft recognizable, and no reduction gear, but: in the front it looks more like a high-pressure pump to me, like the ones used in powerful water jet drives ... 12 cylinder V engine, 2 valves per cylinder ... if yo guy have more detailled pics, please show me ! thanks !

The gear reduction unit along with the prop shaft is broken off along with half the casing and what you thought was a high pressure water pump is actually the supercharger, the engine is a Rolls Royce Merlin more than likely made by Packard.

It is a aircraft engine, Rolls-Royce Merlin and the gear reduction unit is broken off only half the casing remains and what looks like a high pressure water pump is actually the supercharger, these engines have overhead cams and yes 4 valves per cylinder, these engines were popular in race boats from the 1950's until 70's and have 1,650 cubic inches, the largest aircraft engine ever put into production had 4,360 cubic inches made by Pratt & Whitney.

You live splendidly. motors are lying around, boats. If China were nearby, how we would have put everything there for remelting. in Kazakhstan, local "chocks" handed over entire factories there after the collapse of the USSR

Hey buddy, your dog needs some training please, he's confused and needs dog treats to focus. Use small dog treats and keep them in your pocket so he follows you and he'll start paying attention to you and the treats . Good luck to both of you

Thats a cool piece of history right there, I would save it.
