yes mate it's the best job in the world. That's why 90% of seafarers are people from third world countries like the Philippines and India, getting payed less than office jobs with not even half the hours, in western Europe and the US 😂
And remember these engines are by far the no where near the largest marine engines ever built. The first ship I was on had a 89.000 bhp engine, 12 cylinders and each piston 90 cm in diameter. That was in 2003 (ship built in 2002). The largest I have heard of are 109.000 bhp, but there are possibly larger ones than that as well.
@@shadowthehedgehog4737 I highly doubt that. Either he was a VERY small person or it is not true. The biggest piston is 96 cm in diameter meaning his armspan should be less than that.
Själv varit maskiningenjör och förstår dig helt! Allt ifrån dieselelektriska framdrivningar, turbindrift, vattenjet mm. men det är tvåtaktsdieslarnas känsla man aldrig glömmer- den sitter fastvibrerad i själva benmärgen!
@@markj2093 No you cannot... If you cut out one cylinder (its actually best to leave the piston inside for balance purposes) there is a limit to how fast you may run the engine. If you cut out 2 you may still run it, but it depends on which 2 cylinders. Source: I work for the company that designed the engine you see in the video.
The engine may become unbalanced in multiple ways. An engine may typically have a chain at the back driving the hydraulic system (fuel injection and exh valve are hydraulically operated) and a couple of vibration dampers - a spinning shaft with an imbalance on. If these vibration dampers get out of timing (they are timed with the engine), you will have massive vibrations. Some engines also have a chain and dampers at the front as well. You may also have severe vibrations in certain rpm ranges, but the control system is designed to accelerate through these ranges as quick as possible. Another way is if you pull out too many pistons and run the engine, you loose the constant downward force on the crankshaft bearings from the compression/ignition and, again, vibrations - although this time your bearings are toast as well.
@@lolsovs not taking into account the torsional vibration dampener plus top bracings Edit: did not notice you'd already mentioned vibration dampeners aha
Yes that exactly right, they use high pressure air to start the engine and just push the opposite cylinders to run it backwards when needed to go in reverse
@@cpufreak101 variable pitch propellers? I would have assumed its because of the extra power to weight and size constraints. Theyre turbocharged and still get extremely high efficiency, no need for extra strokes.
I like very much what this guy is doing;the way he's exploring the crux of human technological advances/achievement, and the cumulation of intelligent engineering of the industrialized world 😎
If they did, I’m pretty sure one of the eliminations would be that one of the targets are near the engine, you turn off/sabotage the power restrictor in the engine as usual and turn the engine on at full power, then the pistons break off the connecting rods and the whole engine explodes.
would likely sink the ship if it blows a cap or a rode, through the bottom or the side. The nice thing here is there is so much inertia it would take a min or so to reach top speed - plenty of time for fuel or air cut.
I accidentally got the diesel engine in my truck to run backward. Exhaust came out of the air filter. It was a 427 Cu In turbocharged inline 8 in a 2-½ ton army truck.
I find watching these types of shows with Richard Hammond is like watching Wildlife shows with Attenborough.

@@RWoody1995 Yes, it has two.
@@RWoody1995 he means 109k Hp from a SINGLE engine, that ship could also have 2.

Rumor has it he was originally found in the engine of a moped
Funny because 'short'
VERY clever
Hammond can't walk in 1.8 litre engine.
But maybe he can walk in a big W12.
Jokes aside he can only walk on this engine

Richard was actually wandering about a regular old car engine, he's that small. everyone else was computer generated.

Just watch how these are built massive lays n gear cutting machines they definitely got my RESPECT.

I was just as exited as Richard when he was in the engine lol. Such a cool thing to experience.
But again Richard Hammond can walk in any engine. He once lived in my lawn mower engine and I had to ask him to leave!
