- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ม.ค. 2020
- MTU Friedrichshafen is a brand of Rolls-Royce Power Systems. Their drive systems and large diesel engines, for example, properly heat up ships, heavy and military vehicles or railways. It is not uncommon for such drives to have outputs of up to 13,600 hp. The mega-diesels are manufactured in the idyllic Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance, but the engines "Made in Germany" have long been used worldwide.

finaly found the perfect engine swap for my civic
I can only imagine the VTEC on this thing
Yea you show those supras.
👌👍
Lmao is anti-lag possible on these engine? Just wondering
You could part your civic in one of the cylinder bores
Documentary starter pack:
- dramatic music over routine maintenance
- "Something horrible will go on if [mistake is made]"
- milometer precision
"20 rotations per second!!!11!" You mean 1200 RPM.
@@reneluigjes And they act like it is something incredible. 1200 rpm is a high idle for most vehicles and light/medium duty application engines.
Right, I don't know why the germans are also starting to use the stupid, 1-second-attention-span-audience american style of making documentaries.
@@wrakowic the logical answer is you all have one second attention spans too.
See how stupid it sounds.
Like, what was the jab at Americans for lol? As if anyone tell these documentaries what to do
And no breaks when working.
So, even with this engine being so massive, they still get it done faster than the "project engine" in my garage......
They are pros with degrees and long careers that get paid good money to do their job.
@@enlightenedjuan8332 First and foremost, they are a lot more than one and they work 8 h/d with it, not in their spare time.
Crazy to think but time,money,knowledge and skills are really needed when it's a serious project
Come on guys. Its just a joke 😅
😂😂😂😂Damit you killing me. I been busy with one engine for 4 years now
How gentle and precise they are at the factory, but when it comes to real-world maintenance, it's just shoved together and locked down, and viola! It works! I would have been interested to see more of the the valve assembly.
The whole top end really, from the intake manifold to the cylinder heads, etc
One of the most amazing things i have ever seen..the amount of technology and engineering that had to be coordinated and the facility to build such a power plant is beyond comprehension and from start to finish seems like a miracle that it had to start with an idea and the amount of perfection it takes to complete such a project seems almost like something out of science fiction....my own projects will never seem impossible again after watching this program....I am in awe of the amount of engineered parts and processes it took to complete this build....just AMAZING
Your own projects? Are you Tony Stark?
@@dbodooley he means his mundane little tasks are nothing compared to an engine the size of a semi truck and trailer.
Agreed! 100%
How about the critical and hard work of the trades man..😊
@@thecomplexpatient185 how true! Retired now, I was a mechanical engineer for the best part of 45 years. Vitally, I had a college education AND a 5 year apprenticeship. With this combination you can’t just calculate the square root of a tin of baked beans you can also get the lid off!
I find it amazing how Germany is making everything that moves - trains, trams, planes, cars, trucks, ships/boats, and don't forget the bicycles.
Industrial revolution which gave birth to basically all of these things started in the UK
@@hittman1412 But the UK has stopped making these things almost completely. Take trains and trams for examples. The UK buys them from Germany.
@@hittman1412 industrial revolution that started in the UK? Wow ok.
Everything that is an onset
of poverty to the consumer in endless and very expensive repairs after a while in this case probably after only 3 years of service I'd look somewhere else maybe Japan American or south Korean manufacturers simple but reliable not over engineered for twice the price comparing to the counterpart just afraid
Amazing precision.
Rudolf Diesel would be so proud.
In many ways I prefer similar videos from the 40's and 50's. In those old films they give much more focus about the precision required, and the skill of the workers. It is almost a theme. In nearly all of the modern equivalent videos, they are always adding fake drama with stressful music and talking about all the things that could go wrong, how dangerous it is, how much it will cost if something goes wrong. These workers are professionals who do this work every day. There is no drama like is always added these days. I really hate all the added drama and the loss of focus on the skill of the workers.
It’s a assembly line production there is no skill involved you do only what is required in your section of the assembly,,, absolutely zero skill involved in assembly line workers they’re some of the simplistic workers out there, not like construction or mechanics or electricians plumbers welder assembly line workers are pretty much brainless and just follow instruction in and on their section of the assembly. I don’t mean to be insulting about this work but it involves no skill whatsoever which is why cooperation’s utilize assembly lines to produce,,,,,,, just like American car makers it’s all assembly line work no skill involved they just put stuff together and send it down the line
Being an engine machinist and Rebuilder this has been one of the most interesting videos I have seen in a long time pressurizing the bolts with oil was something that I never knew was done I learned something new keep up the good work
Mantis 0001 hydraulic wrenches have been used for years in heavy industry. They are capable of reaching torque values well over 1000 lb/ft. In some installations cal rod heaters are inserted into bolting prior to torquing fasteners. Heating the bolting to predetermined values causes the bolting to lengthen. This process results in increased torque values and bolt stretch.
Steven Stam don’t understand the question
Da Truth : they do not pressurize the bolts with oil. the oil is used to turn a hydraulically powered torque wrench to tighten the bolts or nuts very very accurately to a torque level that a person would find it very hard to reach with a hand tool as well as a person could not tighten multiple fasteners simultaneously where as hydraulics can ..
@@normdoty Is it a wrench that turns the nut or does the hydraulics stretch the bolt a pre-determined length, the nut run down, then pressure released? It was my understanding that it's the later.
On Pielstik engines, the nuts are run on to the head studs first, then a cage is fitted over them. A hydraulic jack is then run onto the head studs, and sits on the cage and then pressurised. This stretches the head studs enabling the nuts to be rotated until tight with a special tool. The jack pressure is then released , removed, along with cage. They are usually all done at the same time, so all the nuts are tightened at the same time and the same torque. The whole apparatus looks like an octopus, because of all the hydraulic lines protruding from the centre hub.
More than half of all luxury yachts are powered by MTU engines..Its a stunning market share.
Can we just watch a doco like this without the constant, "If this goes badly...bad things will happen" in every friggen step??
Yes, this. It's an old habit from the days of terrestrial TV that is dying hard (TBF this one might have been made for TV). The idea is that the viewers' attention constantly has to be re-engaged with danger and excitement. But this is the internet. Not many people watch any given bit of content (comparatively speaking), but those that do are _already_ interested and engaged. We are here to see technology, not to hear that precision matters and heavy things better not be dropped on toes. We know.
Indeed, I hoped we had moved beyond that kind of artificial drama by now.
I really prefer youtube over linear TV because you aren't treated like an idiot, like having to listen to the artificial drama.
@@NomenNescio99 Yepp
Not in American TV, they sensors sensationalise everything. Even cooking shows are incredibly dramatic. Sad,
Really.
Ha Ha, my brother and I were talking about this very subject this morning. Ice Road Truckers and Outback Truckers. It’s a bloody miracle anything ever gets delivered with an emergency or drama round every corner.
Swiss watch precision engineering on a MASSIVE scale, Great Job guys
I remember when the history channel played shows like this. Thank you WELT
Lol the History channel has been uploading full episodes of modern marvels and the other good shows as of late.
Right?! History channel is mainly conspiracy shit now. Sad
This is absolutely mind-boggling with all that must be done. The designers of these engines are amazing...
Engineering.to.perfection.
I’m a 63 year old professional Mech Eng and have loved every minute of my chosen career. What a fantastic video this is!
That ship is currently on lease to Trinidad and Tobago and I have been on it alot. As a heavy machine mechanic it was great to see what goes on below deck. 11 barrels of diesel per hour x 4 engines. Wow.
These MTU engineers are masters of their crafts. Precise precision and talented people .👍
A testament to German engineering and craftsmanship.
I love seeing human ingenuity it's so awe inspiring, I just finished watching videos on jet engines and the amount of thought that goes into all of this is crazy and these guys here even just knowing how this stuff works is so impressive to me. What is awesome is that all of us can't possibly know all of the ways that these things work, we have humans specialized in everything and it's awesome to me seeing where we are at now. Despite horrible things going on it feels like we are still progressing and it's calming and exciting to watch this kind of stuff back. I love seeing technology progress, I wish I was part of it more honestly but I'm too late in life to become so masterful at something like it. But the feeling of awe will never leave me seeing this stuff progress and the things humanity has accomplished.
Same here....im just so amazed by how they make some of these machines
I would love to know more as well, but im over 40 and my time to be speacialized at something like this has passed more than 20 years ago. I can only watch, enjoy, and meanwhile learn a few things. Love engines and machines
_€😮
The engineers who put these designs together to make this engine are brilliant Germans have always been excellent in engineering
Fantastic to watch from the whole process smelting to the finished product greatly presented engineering at its finest 👍😍
Love the video. I use to work on submarine refit doing plumbing. I was sent to do some work on a roll on roll off ship and saw biggest pistons I ever saw.
18 inch diameter on main engine. Starter motor was a V 16 the size of a 20ft container. I was doing industrial & domestic plumbing before trying naval maintenance. When I first arrived I was shown the big stuff. There in one of the buildings was a Lathe with a 30ft diameter chuck, for turning props.
Brought back some memories, great video.
Nai Rekab from the size of the starter motor I can only assume that the starter motor has a starter motor?
@@funforever1671 even so I'd imagine that starter motor itself, in fact also has a starter motor, which is started by a motor.
@@ApexPressureWash 😂 that is funny!
This reminds me of a musing I had one day while driving. Police have devices that detect a radar detector used in your car in places where it’s illegal to use a detector. So, radar detector manufacturers invented a technology that could detect the presence of a radar detector detector by it’s ranging frequency. So, I thought naturally the next step in the process would be a tool that would enable speed enforcement officers to detect detectors that can detect radar detecting detectors before the driver’s radar detector can detect the officer’s radar detecting detector and block it’s outgoing energy waves before detection. Simple!
@Jon Kaminsky Radar deflector *mic drop*
One of the most beautiful, functional works of art I have ever seen.
thank you for this kind of engineering documentaries, a lot of thing to learn.
finaly found the perfect engine swap for my civic
State-of-the-art engineering "Made in Germany" has always blown me away. Only a few countries in the world (not talking about you China) have perfected through research and development the breathtaking and amazing engineering we've seen in this high quality documentary.
China steals and buys all of its inventions. They've never made anything worth a fuck that they didn't hack from another country. China is 100% strength in numbers. Too bad numbers don't matter when bombs can kill millions instead of dozens.
Lest we forget a HUGE thanks to the Marshall Plan.
Did some basic math and this engine is 54% efficient! That's some efficient engineering.
This is absolutely incredible. Mind blowing..Once again amazing German technology..the best...!!!!!
Impressive technology
I only miss the part where EGR ,DPF and catalytic converter are mounted 😎
MTU engines are world class. Over the years they have had many owners including Daimler but are these days owned by Rolls Royce Powersystems, not to be confused with the automotive division.
RR is owned by GERMAN FIRM. Thats why the CEO of RR .....................QUIT ! hahahahaha
Rolls Royce have been legendary with their jets. I wouldn't expect anything less from a company working under their ownership.
Thank you guys....really learn so much how things are put in together.
I enjoyed this. Its a better format than those shows where there are contrived and fake issues for dramatic effects.
i really really wanna see a tractor built with this monster of an engine..
It wouldn't be able to move but that would be crazy!
4 megawatts to melt that?! That’s insane. That’s enough power to run thousands of homes. Humans are awesome. We’re probably gonna end up killing ourselves but- we’re gonna leave some badass shit behind.
WTF.......I should get a rope and look for a large tree.
with power quantities, always check for how long that output is applied - the product gives you an amount of useful work
@@Harleyhb2703 you should for posting a comment like you did. 😂
Archaeologist from another specie 200 mill from now will wonder about us like we are about the Atlantean. They're going to be like" What really went wrong?They pounder. Then they "We are not going to blow ourselves like they did!. That's who human race helps another race from extinction, unintentionally obviously.
Beebo the mighty little bear He referenced toasters, not MW...
"a staggering 20 Revolutions Per Second " jaw dropped until i realized that was 1200 rpm
Thats a lot for these big engines
Johan Fouche The difference between 2000 and 1200 is much less than between 1200 and 4000. I’m not very educated but a crank that size will rip itself apart at 4k
high rpm for such a large engine, the really big engines on cruise ships and container ships often run under 100rpm nut of course those engines are even larger yet
@Johan Fouche that's a completely different application, those engines are much smaller then this by comparison and yes it is overdramatized for television any documentaries like this are
The writing for this amazing video is amazingly horrid! WTF is a "cylinderpiston" Idiot - it's a cylinder assembly! It goes on and on. I would have edited this insult to the ears for free!
Highly prepared and professional documentry .
Damn, that's beautiful. Almost shed a tear when the engine started up.
fascinating subject matter and excellent documentary. I can never have enough of these.
Absolutely amazing process for casting those blocks! Time is definitely of the essence when working with molten metal of any kind. They really have the whole thing down to a science for these massive block castings.😉

This came up and I decided to check it out for a few minutes to see if it was worth watching.
49 minutes and three seconds later and I can say, "yes! it's worth watching."
I can't look at my small block the same anymore... it's not a small block, it's an itsy bitsy teenie weenie block, at least, compared to this ginormous engine. Great video! I'll never complain how heavy my engine is anymore lol
GERMANY RISING intro vibes from the intro? Love it!
Rolls Royce is British...
@Prussian Eagle YES, IT IS !!
@@stuarttimocin7929 okay but still manufactured in Germany
Ahhhh that was so cool! Absolute precision from master engineers.
Amazing video... These engines are HUGE... The molding and casting part was my favorite... Kinda like back when I was a jeweler
Absolutely fascinating. The technology, precision engineering and testing is testament to human intervention. Brilliant.
Congratulations to the entire team. What an incredible process and product! 😯👏👏👏
An awesome engine and construction - enjoyed every minute of it...if I had the money I'd buy one just to look at it!
I got to work on two of these before they were installed into the Fred Olsen, replacing power packs due to an upgrade in design. Although they are huge for a high speed diesel, they are surprisingly easy to work on.
The biggest obstacle we had was getting the engines inside of the workshop as the building didn't have the overhead crane capacity to lift them. We had to move the engines into position outside the workshop using machine skates underneath their transport frames and pull them with big winches, this left 2cm deep and 10cm wide grooves in the concrete from the machine skates breaking it apart. We then had to remove part of the workshop roof and use 2 X 250 ton mobile cranes to lift the engines into the workshop.
I remember the engineers who flew over from Friedrichschafen turning up to work wearing thongs (flip flops), their reason for that was that they were in Australia where it is hot.
Be happy.
You could have been working on a BIG Marine Diesel - like a Wärtsilä RT-flex96C or a MAN B&W 12S90ME-C Mark 9.2.
But those aren't "high speed" diesels - just very high POWER (and huge torque).
@@bricefleckenstein9666 I have done a fair bit of work on Wartsila and Pielstick engines.
@@1977jelliott Does Pielstick still exist as a brand under MAN?
@@bricefleckenstein9666 I am not sure,. I would say they have been rebranded to MAN now, at a guess?
Just incredible!!! The talent & discipline of the men & women is amazing!!!
awesome documentary, loved it, thank you!
The level of quality, is amazing. If they made an engine, that would fit in a car, the builder of the carbody, would be hard pressed to make it last, as long as the engine. 😊🙋🏻♂️🇩🇰
badass. i love this kind of stuff!
Yes sir
The designers of these engines are amazing...
I'm getting really excited watching the massive engine.
What a piece of incredible engineering ! I wonder if Allen Millyard could add 6 extra cylinders and fit it in a motorcycle frame using his trusty hacksaw and file?
Herr Allen Millyard's documentary will be half the time, no computer nothing, and will teach MTU a thing or two from his shed !!
Good one....Amen.
I love that guy!!
Truly one of the greatest educational tools of my lifetime, these documentaries have taught me so much and it's expanded my mind in a healthy way, thank you WELT! Mvp🤠😎
From scrap metal to precision clockwork. Very impressive.
8 years between tune-ups, now that is engineering
Been in a room with a running ~19.000HP engine. That thing was 5 stories tall and had a 2-ton flywheel :-)
The largest ship I was an engineer on was fitted with a 25,000 BHP 2 stroke slow speed diesel engine.
Terrific footage.
BTW, it's not a crankcase ... it's an engine block.
Wow... 100th of a mm precision? That's 10x the precision of a BMW S1000RR superbike engine. Incredible.
Top notch documentary. Thank you for this.
@Bruce hello,how are you doing
I was relieved to discover that connecting rod temporary cap was plastic @27:58 because I was gonna remark about this guy being insanely strong.
@Kenny hello,how are you doing
Engines are so beautiful when they are clean.
Team work and German engineering .... amazing results 👏
"The tolerances are so minute that they can no longer be perceived by the naked eye."
The foreman checked the crankcase with a naked eye.
Torino Herrera editor was trolling hard
When he said gigantic crankshaft,
When i saw it I immediately said
“ *oh it’s gigantic alright* “
Fantastic video..very informative for the layman and good for apprentices to see.
That's where skills and initiative comes into play, these people are working with guided precision and pinpoint accuracy, backed up vision judgement and clarity. This is amazing stuff from high powered engineers and technicians. Praise God for the gift he gave man be so inventive and creative!!!
3:10 if you're curious, "common rail" means there is a containment rail lined above and along the cylinders, filled with fuel. Used for most *direct injection engines.*
With super super high fuel pressures lol. Upwards of 60,000 psi
@@canuckcanadian753 ooooohhhhh yessss bars for days
Mate most people think a rail carries either trains or curtains you can't explain common rail by calling it a containment rail lol
Common rail means there is one fuel rail feeding several cylinders. This is used on modern diesel and direct injected engines. Traditionally, each cylinder would be plumbed directly from the pump, or fuel distributor independently. This worked well, but any air in the system would stall the engine, and made servcining a fastidious, and arduous process.
Injector technology, and more importantly engine management systems have allowed the use of common rail, and we haven't looked back since.
Even gasoline cars have a common rail system nowadays. But the pressure is higher on diesel engines, up to 3,000 bars
Germany!! The Real mother of the machines.🇩🇪
They just need to make their engine last longer.
Incredible work and great documentary video!
incredible, almost 400,000 lbs between the 4 engines. those things are built to last.
The horsepower figures were very impressive I wonder if I would have been even more impressed with a torque figures?
Top fuel dragster more impressive for its size
top fuel dragsters need to be rebuilt after every pass. This thing will never be torn apart if maintained correctly.@@Toosick023
35:43 Those are just small people working on normal size engines ..
Great work on this one WELT. MTU is just another one of those great German companies! And these engines are only part of what they do!
This documentary was placed with millimeter precision
great vid i love, just still kind wanting to know why i don't ever saw a pickup for the oil pump
That grammar
CactosS ; i believe the oil pumps are external to the motor and are connected to the oil pan by hoses and supply the lubricating oil to the motor by the same way "hoses" from the oil pumps to the engine block. i also believe the oil pumps are run by electric motors so they may start them to pre lube the engine before starting it up..
2fevereiro2020. domingo. Linda máquina.
Brother that was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!! Thank you for your work and dedication.
Respect for this workers!
Truly impressive engineering 💪👍
Didn't show the grinding of the bearing surfaces - one of the most interesting parts for me. I mean, for example, the supports for the crank main bearings (I know that crank doesn't actually run on these, it runs on the plain bearing shells.)
So the reason you never saw grinding the crank support bearings is
They don't grind them.....
The only thing they grind is the crank journals the bearings press against..
These bearing shells are not grinded anymore, no white metal...When scratched or due for maintenance, all to be scrapped.For this kind of High Rev Engines you just change....or collect the pistons together when they step out for some fatigue reason......
@@Limoncello666 I think he was referring to the machining of the bearing surfaces after the block came out of casting as well as the crank and cam, not the repair process, that was clearly explained throughout the documentary. and there probably isn't much to see as the modern machines are usually CNC controlled with covers or gallons of fluid blocking any working views of the detailed process ... but its always awesome to see a machine tool take a raw part and make its precision! :-)
What a cute little engine. Back in 1988 the largest diesel engine in the world was 63,000 H.P. 12 cylinder, 2 stroke KHIC Sulzer slow speed diesel used in each one of the largest container-ships in the world of which five were built.
These were built for A.P.L. (American President Lines) and were the first 'Post Panamax' containerships in the world. (Too wide for the Panama Canal). Today in 2020 there are 80,000 H.P. ship engines.
Such extreme precision that a grain of sand can bring such a huge engine to halt!
Oké, now I can do it myself : )
No cuz, you might do better.
Take a shot everytime the narrator says "millimetre precision".
Rohan Dubey Pity, it should be built to mircometre parameters.
Or mega diesel engine.
Fantastic machine!
I'm blown away floored by the time care and tedious work it takes to make something like this. What a interesting video
Curious about the mechanism that shoots the steel bbs to clean off the casted pieces. Is it a wall of death or is there some sort of movement or rotation? This is by far the coolest how its made i've seen, amazing work
I was thinking about that shot blaster thing too, it must take ages to clean the engine out of all the BB's once they are done. I would of liked to see a video from the inside of that machine too while it's doing the cleaning process (if you could get a camera to survive inside there!)
at 14:23 you can clearly see that the link on the lifting hook is cracked!
Gosh darn that looks dangerous!
You would think they would weld that up because that is extremely dangerous.
If only they had purchased a good quality link made by Rolls Royce this hazard would never have arisen
yes i saw bottom mid ( left part of it ) section of screen , very risky
Ragnars Brother ....if your talking about the area of the outer block plate at the bottom left, that is not a crack. It is a chipped weld and is not a detriment to the block and tackle lifting hook.
Great video. There needs to be more of these videos to watch.
@19:27 Nowadays a lot of companies have a fitnesscentre. I think MTU has one also. :)
Impressive documentary. Those Germans know how to make big motors!
ENGINES. Not motors.
wow amazing - perfection from start to finish - now that is craftsmanship
Wow, blown away by the size. Thanks TH-cam for insisting I see this!
The cherry on top of this would have been to see how the crank case was made!
I find it striking that these engines are for the most part exactly like the engine in your average car. Just about 128 times larger, assuming the 350 liter displacement is correct vs a 2.8 liter vehicle.
Always these German engine builders. ;-)
Germany, without a doubt, has some unreasonably smart people!!
In our place, everyone knows if something is made in Germany or Japan, it's going to be kick-ass. Doesn't matter where it's made but when it comes to selling your stuff at a good price, everyone says "It's German or Japanese". 😂
South Korea would be in that mix also..
German perfect manufacturing? Mean while in Italy, engine teardown...(LOL)
