Looks for all the world like a repurposed cannon.

Hi Craig. This is excellent work. We are similar 3HP 1908 Famous just renovating. Am I right that there is not any water pump? Is it Gravity-fed? Thanks a lot.

Nice! Take my money

Great to see this running, thank You for giving it a new life.

Very, very interesting engine and hoist. Thanks for posting.

What was the idea behind the hit-n-miss engine design? Conserve fuel as much as possible?

Your exhaust valve is leaking. Very nice engine 😇🙏

My serial # is L3035 on my 3H.P.Vertical engine

I really find chasing for a "first" a futile exercise. But, if there are interest in another "first", then in 1972 in Sweden Lars Karlsson (together with some other engineers) introduced Transdata 7261. Similar in the respect that it was intended for an educational audience, and had an 8008 at the core. (Google "Transdata 7261", probably the text will be in Swedish though.) Also if searching for "The forgotten Q1" there is another contender ... and so on.

Kudos to the videographer. I appreciate the filming of the interpretive information sheets on the various displayed engines. I could stop the video and easily read each information sheet.

Reallynifty to see them running!

Was that at the fair or at some other activity?

To have a cool eng take out the old gas out and put a turbine 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😅😅😅😅😅😅

Great work by persons of that time. I love this work.

neat engines tommy stopped by here got finish mower from me and he had a 10hp lighning on trailer in ppieces

4:53 Nope, you didn't do it exactly right so now she isn't going to cooperate. Every married man here knows what I'm talking about 😂 Awesome engine, it would have been a sight to see at full operating RPM.

Ничто не мешает сделать таких двигателей новых с новыми технологиями металлов и обработки. Подобные есть ещё в специфичных местах

More care should be taken not to start the motor when people are close to moving parts especially the flywheels, no second chances if even a minor slip or trip by the gentleman standing on the trailer mudguards.

Realy stupid place for that one guy to stand

Those pieces of engineering will outlast humanity for sure!

Was ist denn das für eine komische Krücke?

Looks like a fun show. Thanks for posting.

Love those prairie tractors. Great video.

torque depends on loaded running rpm....if rpm is 300 then torque would be 350lbft....the formula is hp v torque times rpm divided by the constant 5250...so by the wonders of algebra, 20hp x constant 5250 divided by 300rpm = 350lbft

where did the $800K dollars for the sale of the apple I's go?

Bring that rig down to the vintage farming days exhibition in Lynden Washington.

I really want to see that thing running the normal operational rpm of 380. That had to be crazy.

20 Actual horses power.

It looks like an old canon

I think Wile E. Coyote once acquired one of these from Acme…

Very interesting!

Very enjoyable video. I’ve heard good things about this show. It’s huge! I especially like the small engines.

If you think this is unobtanium today... back then I'm sure getting your hands on any bleeding edge computer technology was just as hard. Weird to find a comment from my very self here from 6 years ago. i don't even remember this video. A different sort of... time travel.

Doesn't really know what's he's doing also vague on the technical specifications, when asked.

What is your website? Want to check out your Apple collection 😊

Awesome history and stories, thanks for sharing those nice memories 😊

Can anyone tell the name of the Guy operating this engine?

Glad to know this engine has been preserved. There is something magnificent about being able to see it operate.

This is such a shame, wonderful that you had the foresight to collect this stuff but such a shame you didn't get the support to create a museum. I'm 68 and also have been collecting old tech but it really doesn't go back to this level, absolute brilliant, I hope you get some serious payback if you sell them

Huh, that's cute. Seeing the setup, I'm going to hazard a guess you're going to use the little engine to start the big one instead of trying to wrestle with the wheels.

3con rods 2pistons and 1 plug 😊

Cool, my 1905 is ser# L3035

Someone took a lot of care making this. I wonder if the Smithsonian would be interested in your collection? I know there are other computer museums. Your items should be preserved, 200 or 500 years from now, people will marvel at them, if there are still people around.

These old machines are far superior to today's kit in one crucial respect. They have a soul.

😃😃😃 CITY.MO 👈 😄😄😄

Circa WW2 farm tractors in the UK used the same method of starting up on petrol (gas) and then switching to TVO (Tractor Vaporising Oil, equivalent to Paraffin/Kerosene in the UK).

Chall B. 👈 👿😄😄😄😄😄

I hope that these computers will never be lost and will be preserved for posterity. Perhaps now we do not realize it but they are a very important part of the history of humanity.

days are cold today, sir..

Blue shirt man is a gambler. Yeah dude, stand on that wet fender 2" from a 3000lb flywheel. Real bright.
