One thing I love about these old engines is their simplicity and durability . This engine was running before many of us were born and will continue long after we are but a memory .
Before ANY of us were born !! I think we can be confident ! This is hi tech from the very late Victorian era - but given its local manufacture, probably not so cutting edge when it was madem but still not later than Edwardian as much later would have been electric.
All these Local Made in that Country. Its not cutting edge, exactly, but its not made by the British in the colonial era either. The name of Manufacturer is on it, Shahi, which is local maker, not an English Name. It is however, based on some old British design from 1800s. You guys should stop making fun of those hard working people.
@@zeeabe-f9v Nothing funny here! Just horrified at the lack of risk assessment and safety checklists. Whatever the design antiquity, these people are human beings and deserve a "safe system of work"! In a country like that getting your arm or leg torn off is the end of your family income -stream and starvation and penury for you family! Do they have an Accident Book or Insurance?
This is a Victorian era setup. They used to transmit mechanical power all over huge factories by a huge number of pulleys. This is a living museum, respect! They way he installed the last pulley for the mill was impressive.
Ive worked in refineries inside of a huge compressor thats down for repairs next to 7 more going all day long and they will literally put you to sleep,quick.
He'll slip one day and that lkeg will be gone, its an accident waiting to happen. WOuld be better to have a coupler of some kind like a parking brake on a car that disengages the belt so they arent trying to start the engine running the belts and wheels too.
@@HobbyOrganist tell that to the guy he works for that needs to front the bill. in places like these, people don’t run unsafe machines without PPE just because they know how to do it. it’s because they don’t know how to do it better and don’t have the means. over here in the states, idiots run CNC rigs and plasma cutters and all sorts of other crap without even safety specs because they’ve trained themselves into complacency. THOSE people think that they have herd immunity from work accidents. trust me when i say that you can’t be herd immune to getting your sleeve caught in a lathe. and don’t ask what that looks like.
My wife’s grandfather inherited a building in Manteno Illinois that had ‘drive lines’ and pulleys still in the ceiling. Don’t know when the steam engine was removed? It had been a wagon, buggy, carriage business from the 1860’s to WW1.
Proper “old school” engineering, probably been there for over 100years. I don’t think I’d be wanting to wear a scarf with so many pulley wheels and belts around, but fair play to the operator, he certainly has a well worked out and executed system with attention to detail eg. Cleaning spilt oil etc
@@drood78absolutely. Line shaft systems like these started being used in the 1820's and were phased out in the early 1900's. So over 100 years is spot on
@drood78 do a little scouting around the internet and you'll find that these types of engines are OLD. The first recognised internal combustion engine patant was granted in 1794!
for someone who lives in Scandinavia, it seems that it is quite hot and it is not a diesel engine but an oil engine, it runs on motor oil or similar such as SEA 30
Truth. I think it runs on used engine oil since the oil he poured looked black and dirty. We have a used oil burning furnace in America providing heat to our auto repair shop.
This diesel engines run with almost anything flammable. (Any diesel engine can, in fact.. if prepared correctly ) I've seen them run on olive oil, turpertine, vodka, gasoline... more or less performant, and more or less hard to start, but they work
@@framegrace1 - I remember reading that when Rudolf Diesel designed his first engine, it was built to run on peanut oil - so he was over a century ahead of the Just Stop Oil mob, eh? :))
I know that most people reading this will nit believe this but in 1988 , in chester , England, I drove a FODEN , ..every morning in the winter months , to get it started I needed to spray petrol on to rolled up newspaper , light it , and stuff it in to the engine intake funnel , ( it was a diesel engine ) and the engine started , I worked for a man named Bill Powell, at E.S.Powell , a nice guy ,
Of course we believe you, they even sold special paper for the lighting. Tens of thousands of such engines were and are in use around the world, its just not something the general public knew or know anything about.
That was the most stunning OSHA training video I've seen yet! I especially liked the foot launch flywheel spinup and the grain mill belt install, myself. =:0 But it's cool seeing this ancient machinery being used today, isn't it? I miss going down to the Antique Steam and Gas Museum when I lived in SoCal.
I get that working with old machinery has certain safety risks that are difficult to mitigate. But the loose clothing around spinning shafts/wheels will end up with severe injuries or fatalities.
Worked at a ranch in the middle of Nevada in the 60's that has a similar sized single-cylinder diesel engine they had to run for the only electric power out there. Learned to hold the valves open with a long screw driver to release the compression to get the flywheel spinning with a hand crank like in this video. That old thing just ran and ran for decades with never a problem.
It makes no sense that anyone working around stuff like that be wearing loose fitting pieces of cloth all over their bodies. People around the world die every day from that kind of behavior.
Oil to seal the rings and up the compression plus heat the cylinder by drawing in flames and warming generally and boom away she goes. Two swings and away, you can tell built like that she will run all day and all year with some tender loving care.
Reminded me of hand-cranking the old diesel engine that we used to crush barley for cattle feed on our Scottish farm. It was a devil to get running, but once it was going, it chugged and clanked along like it could never be stopped. It was a dedicated machine, not like this multi-belt system. Different days.
@@teslatrooper85- your electric crap will never compare. Can’t imagine a a fifty y.o. Tesla coming to life without needing a brand new $20,000 battery pack

I used to own an old Austrian compressor used during the first world War. It used a steel tube with a fosforo plug of compressed paper dipped in fosforo inserted in the tip to start it. Mono cilindro with a huge weighted disc to start it with. You needed at least 2 people to start it, but it was a wonderful machine powerful a low consumption diesel.
@@juhajuntunen7866 Had a VW Beetle car, low revving engine and basic construction which if looked after as you say, will run for years, and mine did, magic. Really impress3d with modern engines in terms of their fuel economy performance, and air conditioning is great, but still love the old stuff.
Reminds me of trying to start up our two cylinder Lister generator when I was a kid. If it wasn’t spinning fast enough and you flipped the decompression lever it would kick back hard enough to break your wrist.
I went and saw a huge (5 meters or so high) old steam pump made in old blighty and shipped down under. When they made it they sent a spare set of white metal bearings - 150 years later they are still in their box. The made half shell bearings in the good old days to last - I don't doubt they are still there in this one.
What year was that sewing machine (crazy setup) built, should use another small engine as starter, but they got it handled. Needs a proper starter and a preheater
Just for giggles, who could figure out what this equipment is where it came from and who put it there? This could have been built in England this could have been built in India anywhere? What is this 18 99 technology? The vaporized ignition is is a hoot
I remember trying to start our old tractor with a crank by myself. After I eventually got myself up off the ground, that was the last time I ever tried to start it. It was kinda like when you were a kid and first burned yourself on the stove or stuck a fork in a power outlet.
Not diesel powered. It’s a blackstone oil powered engine. I have a fully preserved one. Designed and produced from about 1884-1910. I know of at least 4 that were smashed up for scrap metal value, I rescued one of them. I know of another in an old mill that could be got running again, but who has interest in this stuff anymore. For your info, I’ve mine running a 15kva 415volt 3 phase genset, runs a dream but only for show purposes really….. but will run a small factory no problem. Some of these have flywheels 20 foot in diameter and weigh 2500 kilograms, and produce incredible torque.
We know people get strangled because of their scarfs getting stuck in a rotary machine. Obviously if the scarf is on your head you won't get strangled. I wonder what would happen instead 🤔
These old engines put out what? Thirty HP? The huge flywheel is the key. It smoothed out the operation of the engine, so that during momentary surges in demand, the engine wouldn't bog down.
#1 Just curious, what country it is, and what does it do? #2 All of you talking about OSHA, scarfs, feet in the flywheel- any machinery, power tools, hand tools, even a basic knife is potential danger! So, one should be always aware of the conditions and surroundings! Never become too comfortable with something like this, and you will be fine!
Pakistan I think. This is a flour mill. In mills such as these, wheat is ground into flour, rice is husked and oil is pressed from ground-nut or coconut copra. I've seen set ups like these in India too, but running on a single electric motor powering the various huskers, crushers and presses through a system of belts like in the video.
🤣 Yeah I was like not with your dirty hands! But to honest not sure what is worse his dirty hands or the fact the end product is polluted with thick smoke. The engine is very smokey because they are burning waste motor oil and is mixing the air with heavy metals definitely the kind of smoke you want to be in all day and get into your product.
Wonderful old bit of kit!. Built back in the days of proper engineering and using quality materials!. As with any old bit of kit, a bit grumpy to get going, but it will!. Nice one, Nuff said. 🙂
"Built back in the days of proper engineering and using quality materials!" Old motors had terrible fuel economy, where finicky to start and had to have service every 100-250 hour. Todays motors run for thousands of hours between service and start every time unless abused and neglected for years. If you by "proper engineering" think of inefficient sloppy constructions with fiddley control that by today's standards are awesome to look at I agree, but thinking that they did it better before is in my opinion nonsens.
yeah, it WILL break down. But any machinist there can fix it in few days with scrap and no spare parts existing. Its simplicity, no super tight tolerances, no need for some hitech machinery to build spares for it. Terrible efficiency? It runs on waste, which is plentiful. Now tell me, what will you do in their place and their circumstances to even maintain your modern engine. I bet your modern engine destroys itself in matter of weeks running on waste oil and theres no economical way to fix it. But yeah, about that quality of materials... they just put way more suboptimal material than needed to it. There were no computers, that calculated, that here and there you could save few grams of iron and it will still perform well. And about service... i bet they can completely rebuild that in time you just disassembled yours.
A Dacia 1.5 Dci engine with it's shiftgear from the scrapeyard would do the job. The difference would be it would fit in 1 square meter,start at button,consume less then a quarter of this and also generate 12 Volts to put some light bulbs there, and direct connection to the mill at the shiftgear output,no more belts needed,also you can stop the mill without stopping the engine from the gearbox. I have a friend in Romania who uses that engine to run a pump, to irrigate the fields. it uses wasted sunflower oil from fastfood as fuel,about a bucket per hectar. Fun fact is that the smoke smells like donuts,ha ha ha
Proper Engineering? What a chunk of cow manure. Engineering now is 1000 better. So a 2,000 lbs 50 HP diesel that takes 4 people to start, and would only fit on a Mack truck is ok with you? I’m sorry but I as a retired Mechanical Engineer have to disagree with your implied “proper engineering”.
The main shaft has worn it's self way out of center. Tons of slop in the mechanism; yet the oiler still oils and it starts runs and works every single day.
Thank you OSHA and the Unions for getting rid of these dangerous practices here in the USA. When I was a kid, I knew an old guy who had been on County Welfare much of his adult life because his left arm and upper skeletal system had been ruined by such belts and pulleys when he was young and there was no Workman's Compensation back in his day. I doubt there is any protection for disabled workmen in this Asian country either.
Use of these types of long flat-belts running stationary equipment from a stationary tractor (or other engine) can still be seen on Amish farms in Pennsylvania and likely other places in the US.
" I doubt there is any protection for disabled workmen in this Asian country either." Are you kidding?? there is NOTHING, heII- the majority of people there in India dont even have flush toilets!
Yes, thanks OSHA the rust belt thanks you for helping send all the manufacturing jobs over seas. Now all the people living in generational poverty here can be so thankful. But at least they have two arms, one for their cigarettes and one for their beer. 👍
This reminds me of the steam engine Jay Leno has at his shop. I'm guessing these guys haven't seen the videos of what happens when someone with loose clothing gets too close to heavy machinery. Perhaps tuck in the turban and remove the blanket when doing the start-up. It happens in the blink of an eye. I hope they keep this marvelous machinery running. I wish I could see it myself! 👍
Love it. Old school engineering when people had common sense instead of trying to claim for an easy life because there was no guards etc. Natural selection.
when I'm working on a huge engine with massive flywheels, pulley belts and other moving parts, I too like to wear an enormous loose shawl with tasselled edges. Keeps me safe.

Just for giggles, who could figure out what this equipment is where it came from and who put it there? This could have been built in England this could have been built in India anywhere? What is this 18 99 technology? The vaporized ignition is is a hoot
I love to see the old ways..enjoyed this video very much....
Its always nice to see a jobsite keeping up with the most up to date workers compensation rules
I've always wondered how to put those flat belts on while there running now i know! 🎉 😮 😊
I am sure the manufacturer would be proud to see their machine running today and the workers too.
Yes a Beautiful old Machine.
A diesel symphony! Thanks for sharing!!
Old fashion reliable British technology from early century
I remember trying to start our old tractor with a crank by myself. After I eventually got myself up off the ground, that was the last time I ever tried to start it. It was kinda like when you were a kid and first burned yourself on the stove or stuck a fork in a power outlet.
Not diesel powered. It’s a blackstone oil powered engine. I have a fully preserved one. Designed and produced from about 1884-1910. I know of at least 4 that were smashed up for scrap metal value, I rescued one of them. I know of another in an old mill that could be got running again, but who has interest in this stuff anymore. For your info, I’ve mine running a 15kva 415volt 3 phase genset, runs a dream but only for show purposes really….. but will run a small factory no problem. Some of these have flywheels 20 foot in diameter and weigh 2500 kilograms, and produce incredible torque.
Super video ! 👍
You got to love the 1900 era equipment working every day and also note the digital camera with the led lighting walking around making the video
Excellent video !
I don't think much of the Company Corporate Wear.
Have they got a Health & Safety Officer?
What's the Sick Pay like?
We know people get strangled because of their scarfs getting stuck in a rotary machine. Obviously if the scarf is on your head you won't get strangled. I wonder what would happen instead 🤔
I see the guy treading on the wheel to help thinking he getting sucked in :(
RIPPED TO PIECES
2:44 notice the crank is constructed so it can't whip out-of-control with the engine catches.
Good to see all the safety measures in place. I mean ... what could possibly go wrong?!
Какой древний агрегат и продолжает работать .....молодцы
Awesome! Grease and diesel flavored bread!!
Engines like this will outlive our grand-grandsons.
Work with what ya got is the adage of the day
And hasn't it always been the way, ever since our ancestors came down out of the trees? Assess, improvise, and survive!
These old engines put out what? Thirty HP? The huge flywheel is the key. It smoothed out the operation of the engine, so that during momentary surges in demand, the engine wouldn't bog down.
what is the compression in this mashine?How many atmosphers ?
Good job
Nice
From big engine lovers world wide. Nice one. Keep it going forever. 👍
#1 Just curious, what country it is, and what does it do?
#2 All of you talking about OSHA, scarfs, feet in the flywheel- any machinery, power tools, hand tools, even a basic knife is potential danger! So, one should be always aware of the conditions and surroundings! Never become too comfortable with something like this, and you will be fine!
Pakistan I think. This is a flour mill. In mills such as these, wheat is ground into flour, rice is husked and oil is pressed from ground-nut or coconut copra. I've seen set ups like these in India too, but running on a single electric motor powering the various huskers, crushers and presses through a system of belts like in the video.
I never knew that’s how my shredded wheat was made…… very surgical and clean operation you have there Kelloggs
🤣 Yeah I was like not with your dirty hands! But to honest not sure what is worse his dirty hands or the fact the end product is polluted with thick smoke. The engine is very smokey because they are burning waste motor oil and is mixing the air with heavy metals definitely the kind of smoke you want to be in all day and get into your product.
How old should that thing be?1850 or so??😯
Around 100 years. It’s a Ruston-Hornsby oil engine.
That engine looks like it was installed in the days of the Raj and old British Empire, and frankly so do the guys operating it. Brilliant!
Wonderful old bit of kit!. Built back in the days of proper engineering and using quality materials!. As with any old bit of kit, a bit grumpy to get going, but it will!. Nice one, Nuff said. 🙂
"Built back in the days of proper engineering and using quality materials!" Old motors had terrible fuel economy, where finicky to start and had to have service every 100-250 hour. Todays motors run for thousands of hours between service and start every time unless abused and neglected for years. If you by "proper engineering" think of inefficient sloppy constructions with fiddley control that by today's standards are awesome to look at I agree, but thinking that they did it better before is in my opinion nonsens.
yeah, it WILL break down. But any machinist there can fix it in few days with scrap and no spare parts existing. Its simplicity, no super tight tolerances, no need for some hitech machinery to build spares for it. Terrible efficiency? It runs on waste, which is plentiful. Now tell me, what will you do in their place and their circumstances to even maintain your modern engine. I bet your modern engine destroys itself in matter of weeks running on waste oil and theres no economical way to fix it. But yeah, about that quality of materials... they just put way more suboptimal material than needed to it. There were no computers, that calculated, that here and there you could save few grams of iron and it will still perform well. And about service... i bet they can completely rebuild that in time you just disassembled yours.
A Dacia 1.5 Dci engine with it's shiftgear from the scrapeyard would do the job. The difference would be it would fit in 1 square meter,start at button,consume less then a quarter of this and also generate 12 Volts to put some light bulbs there, and direct connection to the mill at the shiftgear output,no more belts needed,also you can stop the mill without stopping the engine from the gearbox. I have a friend in Romania who uses that engine to run a pump, to irrigate the fields. it uses wasted sunflower oil from fastfood as fuel,about a bucket per hectar. Fun fact is that the smoke smells like donuts,ha ha ha
Proper Engineering? What a chunk of cow manure. Engineering now is 1000 better. So a 2,000 lbs 50 HP diesel that takes 4 people to start, and would only fit on a Mack truck is ok with you? I’m sorry but I as a retired Mechanical Engineer have to disagree with your implied “proper engineering”.
Wont need an after market microchip to run either!. 🙂
The main shaft has worn it's self way out of center. Tons of slop in the mechanism; yet the oiler still oils and it starts runs and works every single day.
Thank you OSHA and the Unions for getting rid of these dangerous practices here in the USA. When I was a kid, I knew an old guy who had been on County Welfare much of his adult life because his left arm and upper skeletal system had been ruined by such belts and pulleys when he was young and there was no Workman's Compensation back in his day. I doubt there is any protection for disabled workmen in this Asian country either.
Use of these types of long flat-belts running stationary equipment from a stationary tractor (or other engine) can still be seen on Amish farms in Pennsylvania and likely other places in the US.
Yes, operator must use caution. In this country too many suit happy idiots
So can lost arms and coffins from those belts and unguarded PTO shafts! @@edschultheis9537
" I doubt there is any protection for disabled workmen in this Asian country either."
Are you kidding?? there is NOTHING, heII- the majority of people there in India dont even have flush toilets!
Yes, thanks OSHA the rust belt thanks you for helping send all the manufacturing jobs over seas. Now all the people living in generational poverty here can be so thankful. But at least they have two arms, one for their cigarettes and one for their beer. 👍
Unbelievable! Never i the 130 years of existence has anyone seen a diesel engine starting! Amazing.
Proper engineering !
This engine seems ridiculously large for the load...
You have to admire these workers finding a way to do their work, the care they show for their equipment. An occupational safety nightmare.
Belongs in a museum but great to see it alive and working.
This reminds me of the steam engine Jay Leno has at his shop.
I'm guessing these guys haven't seen the videos of what happens when someone with loose clothing gets too close to heavy machinery. Perhaps tuck in the turban and remove the blanket when doing the start-up. It happens in the blink of an eye.
I hope they keep this marvelous machinery running. I wish I could see it myself! 👍
Professionals at work
And strangely enough, no framed college degrees festooned all over the walls to convince everyone of their brilliance.
Rudolf Diesel would have understood each tiny movement of these guys and approve this video!
Love it. Old school engineering when people had common sense instead of trying to claim for an easy life because there was no guards etc. Natural selection.
Everybody who’s lost a limb or their life got what was coming to them, eh? Karma is a bitch; don’t tempt fate!
Natural selection. Enough said.
@@citroenfil Someday something unfortunate will happen to you; a callous person will say "natural selection" and you will have earned that.
@@citroenfil "kill the stupid" is a stupid idea. stupidity is learned.
when I'm working on a huge engine with massive flywheels, pulley belts and other moving parts, I too like to wear an enormous loose shawl with tasselled edges. Keeps me safe.
A lot of effort for a bowl of breakfast cereal.
