To me, this is absolutely a thing of beauty. And I love the attention to detail such as the hand pump for oiling the engine as it is barred over. Thank you for sharing this and thank you again for the English subtitles.
Holly God how's complicated to start that generator. For me, at my work, for starting the generator, I push a single button, the electronic equipment does everything else... Nice video, thanks!
I worked in a coal power factory and syncing a turbine driven generator needed complete manual synchronisation at that time. It was always a challange. Today, its only a push of a button, you're right.....
The reserve powerplant is located inside an industrial estate that is unfortunately not open for the public. One of the reasons of making this video was to give access to this piece of industrial heritage.
These are German engines, from WUMAG- Waggon- und Maschinenbau Görlitz. To be fair the Germans were allies around this time due to their shared concern over the invasion of Europe by the Soviets.
The Waggonfabrik Görlitz (Görlitz Rolling Stock Factory) merged with the Görlitzer Maschinenbau AG (Görlitz Engineering Corporation) and the Cottbuser Maschinenbau-Anstalt und Eisengießerei AG (Cottbus Engineering and Iron Foundry Corporation) to the WUMAG - Waggon- und Maschinenbau Aktiengesellschaft Görlitz (Görlitz Rolling Stock and Engineering Corporation).
Thank you for your question. The power station is not in the reserve use anymore, but it is now used as a museum. However, all the four engines are still completely functional.
Wumag Görlitz engine. Very detailed and clear explanation. Thank you. (I missed the disconnecting from the national power system before shutting off the engine) de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waggon-_und_Maschinenbau_G%C3%B6rlitz
It is wonderful to see older equipment kept in such good condition. Thank you for making this video!

Aivan mahtavaa nähdä kotimainenkin käynnistysvideo!
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the sub titles

Этот дизель запуститься даже без электричества, не говоря уже об электронике

no chinese stuff in here, Thanks for share
When all wind mill and solar panels had gone this thing will still runing
Отличное видео. Но зря не показали шильдик двигателя. Там написано "WUMAG Göerlitz". Это значит, что дизель выпущен между 1921 и 1945 годами...
اتمنى ان اضيفها الى متحفي الشخصي
what a beauty
Thank you for this wonderfull video.
I understand this is now part of a museum. Could someone please tell me which museum this is? Thank you!

@@ValmetAlright, thanks for letting me know. And thanks for the video!
Cool.
Vintage power station !
aitoa Kovaa Tekniikkaa :)

Mikä siinä on että ennen osattiin? Nykyisin täysin kädetöntä porukkaa tässäkin maassa😁
Ei osata opettaa
❤
is it still in use as a reeve power plant?
Thank you for your question. The power station is not in the reserve use anymore, but it is now used as a museum. However, all the four engines are still completely functional.
Looks neat. However. Hope this wasn't an emergency generator. You could have used solar panels and waited for the sun to come up quicker than this 😜😜😁
It's a museum.
Not totally true - in wintertime sun goes so deep over horizon on that location, so it is not a option to rely only on solar.
You get up this morning with the intention to bash an inanimate old piece of equipment that’s already paid it’s dues? Sheesh!
4:00 hearing protection not in place. Hearing does NOT grow back! Protect your ears!
FÜG :DDD
