On the first engine notice how well the flywheel is balanced. That amazes me how they could do that back in with the technology they had. Also nice touch putting the exhaust in there. Very we'll composed video.
That is the original lighting in the building, as it was when the entire building was in place on the lease in Windy City. It's just a pipe off the gas line with holes drilled in it that is lit. The pulsing occurs when the engine takes gas from the line into the cylinder on the intake stroke. This is a really awesome place to be after dark, will get video at this year's shows.
I love historical engines.More to look at tan my modern car.The same with computers.The oldies had relays and vacuum tubes. One could read the circuit diagram just by watching it.Now we just discard the whole machine when one tiny microcirquit fails.
The Worthington triplex pump at the end pumped water into the water treatment plant in Brookville, PA. The Otto is to believed to be the largest single-cylinder engine remaining in the world.
***** That's the original lighting for the building. This building was disassembled and removed from the oil fields of Northwestern Pennsylvania, and with no electricity, that's how the building was lit.
Don, Thanks a lot for the video. I love all that kind of stuff! The opening included some great old diesel-electric locomotives as well as a steam-powered Heisler. The Am Trak was the most modern -- their own creation called the Genesis with is nothing more than a GE Dash 7 with a custom car body. I also love the old stationary engines. They have a display of old tractors, stationary engines, etc. at the state fair in Sacramento very July. I hope to go this year and post my first TH-cam video! Thanks again! Regards, Dave
Thanks for the amzing vid, i have been going to this show many years. also i was about to yell at you about not having the 600, but this was 2012, it ran 2013.
Very beautiful ......... and great piece of film , uncluttered by commentary . Nice to hear the exhaust notes also , with their odd rhythmic notes . Keep up the good work , you guys. Any chance of a few more stats ?& / or may be a 5 min on each one , details of components, bearing blocks , fly wheel webbing, fuel consumption etc .
the engine that shows up about 4:30, I think its the 65 HP one. whats the deal with the open flame up high on the wall of the building? Its pulsing and it almost looks like its pulsing with the rhythm of the engine
Were these engines in this good of condition when they were being used on a regular bases? constantly maintained to be sparkly shiny? like for instance people don't regularly clean the engines in their cars so they look like they did the day they were made...
Yes. The magneto armature is held between two springs, and the lever twists the armature winding up those springs. When released it bounces, making multiple impulses in a row. The voltages are much lower than on a modern ignition system, firing several sparks rapidly had a better chance of securing ignition. Today's ignition systems run much higher voltages that can fire even dirty or damp sparkplugs, and the timing is too precise to allow that sort of mechanism to be used anyway. Even then some electronic schemes actually do fire multiple sparks even now, usually for emissions-related reasons.
What camera do you use and at what settings weer you shooting at to get it to fill the scree on my computer like this, cause this is grate and if more people could do what you did that would be cool yo?
there are two manny exhausts in this video which ones are which the first and last are obvious but the Middle Engine he shows two different exhausts what's with that
The first set of pipes on the Blaisdell are the breathers between the compression and power cylinders, they make the rhythmic chuffing noise. The larger diameter pipe in the pit is the actual exhaust pipe from the Blaisdell. Thanks for watching!
It is a Shay locomotive. These were gear reduction locomotives designed for low speed use on steep grades. There were a couple of them in use on the Georgetown loop narrow gauge line in Colorado about 20 years ago, but I don't know where they are now. You can see the name plate at 0:43

^This guy [Cornish] literally has nothing better to do than log on EACH and EVERY "old engine" site and trash-talk old American engines, and brag about the "superiority of British engineering." Must suck to be that bitter! I mean, of course I'm partial to my nation's inventions...but it'd be cool to stroll about the UK and check out the Old Iron. You have to pity a person so bitter that they can't simply have a good time watching "kinetic history" for a day, letting the chest-pounding patriotism "take a day off." I'm just blessed to live essentially next door to this place in Coolspring PA, and drive up to see 'em on a summer day. If I run into any of you, I'd be glad to talk all about it over a cup of tea!
+ joe m No, I love this old school stuff! I wonder if they'd be interested in somebody who'd volunteer to maintain it. It'd be a nice way to make some friends with similar interests...
Cool seeing all the exhaust pipes, especially that giant one in the hole!

Thanks!
I'm guessing that the firing order on the first one is 1-3-4-2.
What a great job they have done in restoring these vintage engines. Thanks for making this video!

Cool a bunch of mechanical moving things that I don't need a passport to see

Same with cars. Cars of today are built in such a way that replacing a part for 200 bucks would cost more than just getting another car.
The Worthington triplex pump at the end pumped water into the water treatment plant in Brookville, PA. The Otto is to believed to be the largest single-cylinder engine remaining in the world.
More specifically, the largest single cylinder spark-ignition engine in the world. There are larger known examples of the diesel or semidiesel nature.

Love the sound on the Miller. Great vid, thanks!

These wonderful engines MUST have been designed by a Brazilian - there's a Samba Band inside every one!
Thanks for the reference!
Isso mesmo, o som dos motores é como um samba.
Amazing Engines.. thanks for sharing
Thanks for the amzing vid, i have been going to this show many years. also i was about to yell at you about not having the 600, but this was 2012, it ran 2013.
I go to coolspring alot and if you were there that day I'm sure you heard how loud the second engine is.
Fantastic machines
I like the "stack talk" at 4:00.
Wow so its got 2 pistons on both sides that's cool
Very beautiful ......... and great piece of film , uncluttered by commentary . Nice to hear the exhaust notes also , with their odd rhythmic notes . Keep up the good work , you guys. Any chance of a few more stats ?& / or may be a 5 min on each one , details of components, bearing blocks , fly wheel webbing, fuel consumption etc .
Springfield must have been a fantastic manufacturing centre in its day?
Any industry there today?
omg a monster boxer engine. This would need a huuuge VW bug to power :)
Very nicely done!!!!!! *****
like to be at the foundry when they we're casting those frames and fly wheels !
also at 2:03 , that afterfire sounds less like a "Bang" and more like an explosion.
The black suit guy is jump a bit tho
Nice . whats up with the open flame bar up top .
Looks just like the engine in my Honda Civic!
Whats up with the flamis on the seconed one I haven not sen that before.
the engine that shows up about 4:30, I think its the 65 HP one. whats the deal with the open flame up high on the wall of the building? Its pulsing and it almost looks like its pulsing with the rhythm of the engine

From 8:13 to 8:27 - strangest magneto based ignition system I have ever seen! Is it multiple spark when the lever "bounces"?
Yes. The magneto armature is held between two springs, and the lever twists the armature winding up those springs. When released it bounces, making multiple impulses in a row. The voltages are much lower than on a modern ignition system, firing several sparks rapidly had a better chance of securing ignition. Today's ignition systems run much higher voltages that can fire even dirty or damp sparkplugs, and the timing is too precise to allow that sort of mechanism to be used anyway. Even then some electronic schemes actually do fire multiple sparks even now, usually for emissions-related reasons.
Is this some kind of aquarium pump? Nice.
That blaisdell sounds like a damn cannon firing.
V
Beat that
I have an urge to fill up the pit with popcorn and ping pong balls between firings.
What camera do you use and at what settings weer you shooting at to get it to fill the scree on my computer like this, cause this is grate and if more people could do what you did that would be cool yo?
HOW DI THEY GET THE EXOHST IN THE GROUND LIKE THAT YO.
Very awesome
With I could see those
Que trem bonito.
What is the unused cam on the 175 HP Otto engine for?
+TheTomBevis Was wondering that myself.
there are two manny exhausts in this video which ones are which the first and last are obvious but the Middle Engine he shows two different exhausts what's with that
The first set of pipes on the Blaisdell are the breathers between the compression and power cylinders, they make the rhythmic chuffing noise. The larger diameter pipe in the pit is the actual exhaust pipe from the Blaisdell.
Thanks for watching!
Tionesta Valley Productions so the two pipes sticking out of the wall at 6:07 are breathers
на 4,50 факел за чем горит-освещение?
да хрен знает
6:18 what is the name of the engine making that melodic sound in the background
That is a Flickinger compressor engine that makes the air used to start the engine.
say what was the steam engine at 0:41?
6:25 - wouldnt it be flooded if it's raining?
Yes, so when they run it blows the water out, and covers everything around.
@ 1:30 that's a bit bigger then my subaru's boxer engine.
whats the sound track?
How much steam does it consume in an hr and how big are the boilers
it runs on natural gas
9:49 stick a fart can to it
2:03 he scared

Hello,
What is the engine name/ type for the locomotive shown from 0:40 - 0:44?
It is a Shay locomotive. These were gear reduction locomotives designed for low speed use on steep grades. There were a couple of them in use on the Georgetown loop narrow gauge line in Colorado about 20 years ago, but I don't know where they are now.
You can see the name plate at 0:43

wonderfull

the British engines are A.better B.better looking and C.awsome
agreed
really? I thought u Americans hated ours... Yours are still cool....u know that right?

No, I love this old school stuff! I wonder if they'd be interested in somebody who'd volunteer to maintain it. It'd be a nice way to make some friends with similar interests...
Whats at 5:47
History
So basically you didnt need any school education to design engines back then ,,weird
big

Horrible audio. Never mind
From 2012, what do you expect??
Poor engines, making nothing but noise and exhaust
