Replica of Henry Fords first 1893 ' Kitchen Sink ' engine. Built by the students of Penn state, and being run at the Henry Ford Museum / Greenfield Village during the Old Car Festival 2014
Would be nice if you could give scripts, but it looks very interesting. Very few people know how much Henry Ford has done for the poorer people. My highest respect for that man !
Modern mechanics are so poetic to me. The epitome of our ability to tinker as a species. From the Stirling, to the hermetic compressor and internal combustion engine all the way up to rocket turbines and nuclear reactors. Thinking about this stuff makes me teary eyed. It's marvelous to watch it all work as designed and make life easier for all of us. It's non fiction wizardry.
@Smarter Than You Exactly, there were more advanced engines already operating. I guess this must just be his first attempt at building his own engines.
If my memory is correct,the 1981 Ford Escort was the first Ford with an onboard computer. I would be very surprised indeed if even one of those nightmares was still functional. In actual fact,this 1893 was better engineered. They put B 24 bombers together, no problem. Millions of Jeeps. Lots of other stuff. NASCAR winners. But no,in the new age,they could not even pour piss out of a boot. Nice to see they returned to below the original engineering standard.
On 5.4 3 valve if it starts rattling better pull it apart fix lifters on #3 before they come apart and destroy the engine only seen it on #3 none of the other cylinders come apart
The replica Henry Ford motor I built did not start as easily as your did. I did not install the fine screen mesh in the mixer. I should try installing a screen to see if that would aid in the starting. Any comments? Thanks
@@iriscasam5975 Yes it is, the Belgian-France inventor made his engine, but since it have not compression cycle, I am not sure if Lenoir engine can be compared with Benz one. However, I do not claim that the Benz engine was the first one.
Yes... But no one was claiming Henry Ford invented the piston engine .... Not by a long shot. Henry Ford is credited with popularizing and fine tuning assembly line production and this leading to the first truly affordable mass market automobile - at least in the US. I am not sure about the rest of the world.
A replica should be exact or close. Which you have neither. First of all the original did not have flat flywheel. The shaft did not protrude out past the flywheel. The original did not have 2 camshaft. The original did not have exhaust pipe. The pipe T fitting is new style not old style. The original did not have spark plug. The original did not have square brass bar supports for exhaust push rod. The original did not sit on wooden box. It set on a flat single board.
They used a drip oiler and removed the glass sight glass so the air is sucked in around where the fuel is dripping.. Had to look several times to figure it out.
Yes, it was common in the early days to use what was called an "automatic" inlet valve with a very light spring. When the piston descended on the intake stroke the pressure in the cylinder was lower than atmospheric pressure and that pushed the inlet valve open. It worked but was very inefficient and the engine would run only at low speeds. As technology evolved they found it was necessary to operate the inlet valve from the camshaft in the same way the same as the exhaust valve to get higher engine speed.
With all due respect that is not a replica of Ford's first engine (kitchen sink engine) it is totally different there was only one camshaft that engine is fitted with a modern camshaft and the crankshaft had no counterbalance weight and the conrod was made of square section not round bar, so were is the replica?????? A replica should be a photocopy of the original:-))
Probably a traction engine or steam roller, or other road-going (non-locomotive) steam vehicle, sounds like a lot of old equipment from that era gathered for some sort of meet or show.
Could have been resolved, at least to some degree, with a lapel mic, but that would only be if the camera used to film this (these days probably a phone) is compatible with such, and someone having one on hand - more of a professional filmmaking crew thing. I thus don't blame them for not having that.
It is similar to Ford's engine not a replica!! I built one myself so I know what I am talking about:-) Original engine had no counter balance on the crank and only one camshaft,the conrod was made from square bar not round bar, I have seen the original!!
Just wondering what is the compression ratio of this engine? I guess it has low compression ratio since the valves are mounted at the side of cylinder.

This is just more evidence that the only thing Henry Ford brought to the table in terms of capabilities was in the area of mass-production. When it came to cars, he didn't have a clue. He just paid other people to design them for him, and he was also a world-class anti-employee/anti-union shitbird. The fact that people idolize him just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
@@kpkndusa That's not entirely true. Not everything you think you know is wrong. Just most of the shit you learned in school or on the news. Most of the shit I learned in History class, for example, was total bullshit. There is still truth out there. You just have to know what you're looking for. There is no one source that will give you everything that you're looking for. You just have to diversify your efforts and cross-reference everything.
@@krvnjrcbs What kind of dumb-fuck question is that? It's pretty obvious that you don't care, but that doesn't mean I have to play the fool as well. People like you are what's wrong with the world. If you don't care, why did you speak? It doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Is this some kind of half-assed attempt at promoting apathy? If so, you're one hell of a sad excuse of a human being.
Can't imagine how happy he was when he first started it
Which operator? HENRY or BILL.
I would know. While it is not as impressive as Henry's first gas engine, when I built my first solenoid engine I was so overwhelmed with joy!
Probably shit his pants

I can imagine Henry being mind blown after seeing his creation, boy did he start something awesome!
Still more reliable than my Renault.
I doubt highly...But surely more than a General Motors engine.
@@MrAluminox those GM two stroke diesels were near indestructible, dunno what you're talking about.
@@Darndiddlyarn These 2S diesels were a very long time ago, we talk about today engines which are, except some well known lemons, rather reliable.
@@MrAluminox right, I figured you were slamming all GM engines.
Looks like the french made a car to retreat and die instead of staying alive and winning the war 🤣
I was wondering when the cylinder was going to glow red.
Awesome demonstration love it.
From that chugga chugga chug motor to our high performance beast engines today, that's cool!

Same Horsepower as my 1981 VW diesel pickup.
Honestly lmao, my 79 Toyota pickup doesn't even make more power than it
1:47 when the v-tec kicks in
it's so relaxing to see this
My Great Grandfather was Henry Ford's best friend. His sons owned machine shops, and invented and built All of Ford's engines and auto designs.
Ford still uses this motor in their 2020 model cars....true story 😁.
wait what?

Fantastic really well made I like to build One I live in Australia where can I get plan's from please
Don't operate machinery with things dangling round your neck
did he die? mr osh
it doesnt have enough power to hurt him too much more power than id say the same
oh he's fine
Thats why lanyards normally have a quick release
Machine Shop 101
This is a very well made model, thanks for the video. I notice that there is no real provision for cylinder cooling!
thats quieter than the valvetrain on a modern F150 5.4 3 valve engine. Ford has really come a long way.
On 5.4 3 valve if it starts rattling better pull it apart fix lifters on #3 before they come apart and destroy the engine only seen it on #3 none of the other cylinders come apart
Henry Ford also invented the Kingsford charcoal
Chris Maze
Sort of. There was a guy named kingsford in there too. Hence the name.
@@kcb5336 read the history I bought a Kingsford smoker it had a book on the history of how it came to be
Chris Maze
Right. Henry Ford worked with a guy named Ed Kingsford. Left over scraps ,blah blah. I’m aware of the history. It wasn’t Ford alone.
10% of it is gravel lol
@@kcb5336 But "Ford" is in both of their last names!
90% of Fords are still on the road. The other 10% actually made it home.

Hi. Can you make a video with what parts you need to make this machine and the assembly thanks.
How long do you think it would take before the motor, piston would over heat on the original engine?
The "Benz Motorwagen" engine was build almost 10 years ( 1885) before Fords "Kitchen sink" and was much, much more advanced.
Navigator first engine was Etienne lenoire with France
@@iriscasam5975 Yes it is, the Belgian-France inventor made his engine, but since it have not compression cycle, I am not sure if Lenoir engine can be compared with Benz one.

Is it more fuel saving than modern engines?
Damn thing sounds just like my Silverado
Sir I think your Silverado's v8 is running on 1 cylinder and hitting all rods on the block 😂
Btw...
What kind of Ignition Systen at first time...???
So if he releases the air, the engine stops?
The title does not say it's a replica. I thought it would be the original! Does the original still exist?
A replica should be exact or close. Which you have neither. First of all the original did not have flat flywheel. The shaft did not protrude out past the flywheel. The original did not have 2 camshaft. The original did not have exhaust pipe. The pipe T fitting is new style not old style. The original did not have spark plug. The original did not have square brass bar supports for exhaust push rod. The original did not sit on wooden box. It set on a flat single board.
So the intake valve is simply a check valve. I can see how the air would mix with the gas below the gas glass. The exhaust valve is a little trickier.
my neighbor has one of those engines
brett rowland wow
cool
Does it happen to be mounted on a Harley Davidson? Tech seems about right.
Is there a coil or what makes the spark??? Also how much horse power is this??? Thanks
Warning ears were harmed in this video at about 1 minute 50 seconds
How long before the cylinder mount burns out the wooden plinth?
And there still making that sound
Since there is no carburetor, how does the air mix with fuel?
I was just wondering that myself!
They used a drip oiler and removed the glass sight glass so the air is sucked in around where the fuel is dripping.. Had to look several times to figure it out.
Steve you are right:-))
Is there also a single valve? I'm guessing that the single valve is an intake and an exhaust valve.
A drip oiler has been modified to work as a crude surface carburetor.
What did henry use for a spark plug?
If Henry didn't create the care engine we would be late for everything
he didnt create the car engine he created the affordable car engine...... So you can A Ford A Ford 😅

Less and satisfying noise 😌👌
how does the intake valve open and close? I see the bar to the exhaust valve but i dont see an intake one
Yes, it was common in the early days to use what was called an "automatic" inlet valve with a very light spring.

Very nice. A hit n miss is 8 cycle/stroke

How does ignition works on this
Can anyone tell me what is the compression ratio of this engine?

Why was their a train sound?
Probably a traction engine or steam roller, or other road-going (non-locomotive) steam vehicle, sounds like a lot of old equipment from that era gathered for some sort of meet or show.
This was filmed at the Henry Ford Museum, and they have a heritage railroad there
haaa...I love it... thank u for sharing
I guess the governor to handle the loads came later?
Are u really talking to camera ?😎
Sariska head system Kaise banaen
Inventor always be happy with new tjings . i think steam engine is widely used now ....
How old this engine was..
Wanna race??
Amazing.
IT'S WHISPER QUIET!!
Conecting rod could be longer
Your voice was not that audible. Too much background noise. Probably not easy to conquer such obstacles.

That's one small Piston
How is it lubricated
Externally by hand before running. Pressurized internal lubrication came much later.
It is similar to Ford's engine not a replica!! I built one myself so I know what I am talking about:-) Original engine had no counter balance on the crank and only one camshaft,the conrod was made from square bar not round bar, I have seen the original!!

@Mike L thats very low compression ratio, im amazed that it works
Good Video but the audio is just CRAP
Ford couldn't have done it without the Dodge Brothers
That’s a cute hit n miss
It's designed to fire on every other stroke like any typical four stroke engine. It just misses sometimes because it's a pretty rudimentary engine.
Still more torque than a honda
So this is the Fix Or Repair Daily Engine. ..lol
ArabianKnight7771, yep. The only fix was the throttle, opening & closing to give it gas. There isn’t much to go wrong.

14½ sparrow power
Still more than my truck

Wow!
That not a replica of Henry Ford engine
What do you mean that's not a replica of the Henry Ford Museum? The engine is pretty darn close to the exact replica other than the ignition system
