As a graduate student who is on the way to pursuing an engineer's position in low speed marine diesel companies, I would say this should be the best recording of the old diesels especially the main engines which I am fascinated by. I guess the main engines showed here might be: unknown MAN or Bergen/pielstick PC-4/Doxford opposite piston 56J series/Unknown B&W low speed and B&W K-GF series?
I used to run a Crossley HRL 4 a two stoke cross flow super-scavenged direct reversing marine engine on m.v. Wincham. 45 - 300 rpm, it sipped fuel and ran for sixty years on its original bearings. Also a Mirrlees Blackstone 16 generator set. So reliable and very efficient. I do like the Doxford but they were a special beast and not many know how to run them now.

That ro-ro ferry left port with its stern door open (11 minute). Such lack of safety would one day result in disaster. As for diesel engines, it was invented in the 1890s - filthy, noisy and relying on dino-juice. The electric motor was invented 70 years before. What swindle did the likes of Shell pull to have diesel win?
Everyone knows that an electric engine is better than a combustion engine. Do you know why internal combustion engines are common? Because it's easier to power them. What's the point of an electric motor being invented earlier if no one was able to make a good battery to power it? This is not just some scam, this is life.
The problem isn't the electric motor. It's using galvanic corrosion as a power source i.e. batteries. Electric motors are great in low power applications or where they can be powered by the grid. They don't work well for cars, not to mention big rigs.
@@flexairz You're right. But at what price - all kind of restriction devices clogging the diesel engines which make them complicated and unreliable. Another thing everybody should know is the euro regulations are far more strict for the gasoline engines than diesel ones. The reason for that is that petrol refineries produce up to 40% diesel and only 10% gasoline. These 40% should be sold somewhere right? NO2 is the killer in the urban environment which is produced mainly by the diesel vehicles.

When optimised for constant power and load large diesels are incredibly efficient, just don't put them in car's that is a very bad idea.
