🔥💪😮 Big engines, big power! It's amazing to witness the sheer size and performance of these magnificent machines. Although their efficiency may not match modern standards, their durability and longevity are second to none. The Queen Street Mill, The De La Vergne Engine, Polar diesel engine T3K, and Enterprice DSG-36 are true engineering marvels that continue to leave us in awe. And let's not forget the impressive stroke volume, with a total of almost 167 liters! The roaring sound of their startup is a symphony for the ears. Truly remarkable! 🔥💪😮
Starting big engines can be “interesting”. 1976 I was on USS Samuel Gompers operating out of San Diego. On this particular day we had a problem with the boiler fuel and water in the fuel put out the boilers. One of our auxiliary generators was down for maintenance. That left the diesel generator. This engine was fired by compressed air. I believe the pressure was 2000+ psi and the tanks were about 5 feet tall by 2 feet diameter. There were three tanks and a tank was only good for one attempt to start the diesel. We were 30-50 miles off the coast. So it was unlikely we would be seen by anyone. First bottle, the engine doesn’t even pop. Second bottle, the same results. At this point the Captain tells the engineers that they are not to use the third bottle unless they are positive the engine will start. About this time the First Class Petty Officer I work under comes to us and tells us to go collect all the battle lantern batteries that are still good and bring them to him on the signal bridge. At this point the power has been out for maybe two hours so many batteries are expended. This guy is a ham radio operator and has the radio for his truck on board so it won’t be stolen. He takes it to the signal bridge and as the batteries are brought to him hooked them up in a big series-parallel hook up. He had just made contact with Surface Forces Pacific Fleet when the engineers fired the third bottle and the engine fired off. We were still dead-in-the-water for at least 30-45 minutes before the engineers got the boiler back up.
I like big things as the "Queen Street Mill", "The De La Vergne Engine", "Polar diesel engine T3K", "Enterprice DSG-36". BTW: At the latter there is a little comma mistake at the stroke value. Stroke volume per cylinder is about 27.8 liters, so in total almost 167 liters. Related to today machines it's 3.6 hp/liter is not rather efficient, but these robust old machines have an almost everlasting lifetime.
The Case traction engine will always be a fav of mine.... "only" 150hp however it's putting out over 3,000ft-lbs of tourqe even modern day highly modified pulling tractors can't beat the case traction engine in pure tourqe...
I like queen Street mill engine since my childhood. If u make a detailed video of this engine then please. Thankyou for video of different types of engine.
At 9:00, the engine is named "Meteor Merlin" which is wrong. Those are two different versions of the same base engine build. The Meteor was a naturally aspirated V-12 mounted in British tanks like the Centurion, and was an de-rated engine from the Merlin aircraft engine which powered airplanes as the P-51 Mustang. The biggest difference was the radial compressor and fuel injection present in the Merlin versions. Otherwise they were mostly similar engine buildups.
I remember in engineering school the general public hated engineering profession because of air pollution. My Arab Heat Transfer Prof said: "Engineering is the only profession capable of putting 450 HP at the fingertips of a 100 lb female by the simple turning of an ignition key".😢
at 5:11 it is a german DEUTZ V12 aircooled I guess type F12L714 offering 350 PS = horsepower used for truck Deutz Uranus or heavy FAUN trucks very long ago
I think that there is a mistake on calculating the cylinder volume of the Enterprise engine. In rouned figures, the radius of each cylinder is 6 inches so the area of the bore is 113 square inches. With a 15 inch stroke that is 1695 cubic inches. 1 cubic inch is ~16 ccs so the volume is ~27000 ccs, which is ~27L. Decimal point missed somehow.
Hahah! The Gardner 6LW produces 94 hp from 8.4 liters. The Mercury F90 on my 17 foot Bayliner 170 produces 90 hp....From 1.7 liters! It would be interesting to see how they stack up fuel efficiency wise. My Merc is a 16 valve fuel injected four cylinder, but the Gardner is a diesel.....
The giant stationary engines were originally designed for powering mills, large buildings with machinery in them, or backup generators of some type. Depending on how the structure is built the engines are usually installed after the concrete foundation or basements are poured. Then the building itself is built up around the engine. That's why if you ever seen old abandoned buildings from this era with engines like these still in them the engines are usually always left there because they're hard to remove from their sheer size and weight. The price it would cost to disassemble and remove them couldn't even be repaid in scrap value nor are they collectable enough to turn a profit so they're just left there to rust away.
They're not big engines until you can stand on the piston to use an angle grinder to remove the wear ridge created by the top ring. My all time favourite engine was the Doxford J type, 20,000 or more hp at 125 RPM on the bigger ones, there is some TH-cam footeage of these in action.
Shame that big old Fairbanks/morse generator on the post picture is just setting out in the weather. Thing weighs like 15 tons though. Ive seen a couple mining explorer videos where these are just setting outside and rusting away. Theres a video of the eagles nest in Germany , the siemens generator and diesel engine from a U-boat is still operational if anyone has interest
I'm going to tell you how that engine got out in the middle of nowhere it flew there way back in the American civil war when it was the diesel electric heart of a army air corps dirigible.
Has anyone here ever seen an engine that starts with gasoline and after a warm up period you throw a lever and it continues to run on diesel? I don’t mean the old cats that used a pup motor but an engine with 8 cylinders and 8 spark plugs and 8 injectors and a carburetor and distributor cap. One engine with two fuels. It was old enough to use an updraft carburetor.
Bei Diesellokomotiven treibt nicgt der Dieselmotor direkt die Lok an, sondern der Dieselmotor treib einen E Generator an und der E Generator einen oder mehere E Motoren als der kraftfluss vom Diesel zum Generator vom Generator zu den E antriebsmotoren. …sehe ich das richtig? Wer will und kann mir helfen? Es gibt ein uebertragungsproblem vom Dieselmotor auf die Räder bei der Lok …kublung wie bei Auto oder Traktor geht nicht. …n.w.
There is nothing more efficient and quieter than an electric motor spinning up from 0 to 30,000 RPM in seconds and hearing that whine. (Think future, not legacy!) History is cool and should be treasured, the future tech will bring us to the next level of industry.

e.
watch the people in the "did it start" videos - when the engine fires off the look of awe and magic on everyones' face is just wonderful

The MAN D2866 KU at 3:05, is similar in design to the MAN 175D 12V, 16V and 20V engines we make today.

And also much more torque
The Griffon engine has a beautiful noise.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Yes put you head in the turbo on startup 😅😂😂
Makes sense really.
Then your head is near the cylinder head and as they say "2 heads are better than one" 😊
I like the sound of CAT. The sound of money. Entertaining video and very interesting!
Look how quite running engine's from early 1900s and people in 21 CENTURY love NOISE MAKERS!😲🤔
The150 CASE is a beast! Amazing piece of steam power history.
Great to see these beasts fire up again ❤❤❤

Thankyou for video of different types of engine.
Why was the video speed increased? For a true sound/visual of what's going on, change the viewing speed to .75.
that little dog was finna end up on liveleak fr
That Snow engine was built with pride in Buffalo NY. Buffalo is well known for being home to lots of industry including the transportation industry.
Very good video!
Thank you very much!
Very cool. Imagine these being made with up to date metallurgy.

Big engines, big power!
That deutz 😍😍😍
Worked on a lot of these engines my favorite was the gardeners even a few Rustons The polar engines were a dream to work on .
The Fjord Trimotor airplane makes appealing noises from the engines and props.
I also love those detroit diesels...
ASMR for gearheads
Monster power.
Loved it....
1:12... I don't care either way about the sound on this one, that engine is just insane.
I'm a kid in a candy store!!!!

That Griffon at 7:50, wow
6:33 where in blue hell did you come up with 270L per cylinder with those dimensions?
44 gallon/200L drum is really giving you the side eye there.
5:20 [CRIES THUNBERGLY]
Brilliant
9:03... Now THAT is how an engine should sound.
The 1917 Enterprise Engine at the 6:14 mark has 27.8 liters per cylinder, not 270.
WOW NEAT

What do these machines power?

Independent combustion = Freedom
0:29 I used to have a Scammell Explorer I put one of these into!!
3:42. Titusville PA ?
Great watch…would be even better without the “emotional comments” added - IMO anyway

You forgot one of the biggest engines. The H.C. Oersted engine which is located in Stockholm and has 22500 Hp.
I need an Enterprise Engine in combination with a Lion King Defender Siren.😁
For those that didn’t know John Deere was born in Vermont.
That man D2866 sounded like the k 700
From mud runner
Not a big engine, but the best sounding two stroke, is the Commer TS3 Knocker engine.
Henschel ??? instead a SACM ( Société Alsacienne De Construction Mécanique ) MGO V12 !! 😀
12 inch bore and 15 inch stroke, that's aproximately 27 liters per cylinder, not 270... Sorry, my english is very poor...
You're right, 270 Liters =
16,476.411 Cubic Inche, at one cylinder, i d'ont think so

The sped up videos were a bit irritating.
This video is about sound - but you've sped up the playback, ruining the experience.
I'm going to tell you how that engine got out in the middle of nowhere it flew there way back in the American civil war when it was the diesel electric heart of a army air corps dirigible.
5:16 That's not an engine, it's a Hollywood smoke machine.
Why are you speeding up some of the video clips?
The Enterprise Engine and Foundry has 27.79 litre cylinders, not 277 litres.
Glad it gets your blood pumping because to some of us this is just noise.
Why the need to speed up the clips?
Has anyone here ever seen an engine that starts with gasoline and after a warm up period you throw a lever and it continues to run on diesel? I don’t mean the old cats that used a pup motor but an engine with 8 cylinders and 8 spark plugs and 8 injectors and a carburetor and distributor cap. One engine with two fuels.

they are multi fuel engines, used kerosene also,
6 minutes the dog, they really shouldnt let him up to the engine like that, he could get killed or hurt by spinny thangz
The Movie 🎥 Studios Used Those Fans To Create Hurricanes
The One on a Flat Bed
Now Some Are Chevy 500
Engines Most Are Now Electric
Who needs self help books when these videos exist?!
I don't think the DeVerge engine is bigger than the Snow.
Strange, no _afrikan_ engines. None. Perhaps they were overlooked. 😆
6:00 Get that dog off that flywheel, ffs!!! The engine could kill that dog in just a second!
omg, this dog will be minced meat in no time!! and this dude is chilling like nothing, especially with the belt in the front.
Runing mesin bos
Was anyone amazed ?
too bad these videos are shown in double speed.....
I am sure bugs bunny got some of their samples from these?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
For corn sakes wen ya show engine show d name plate.

Which crappy AI wrote the captions?
Too bad for the silly motivational quotes
realny pointless and stupid comments…
Nice ❤❤❤❤
Many many thanks
