I still have my 2nd car/truck, it's a 79 Ranchero with a 351 Cleveland. It's pure machine with loads of personality, and that special feel. Newer engines are a lot of things, but my Cleveland is like an old friend
I know that Fairbanks! It's at a farm 15 miles from my house. They have engine shows 3 or 4 times a year and have some awesome displays. They also have old tractors, shovels, bulldozers. I took my son a couple times, he loves it. Next year I want to take my daughter. She's 5 and LOVES machines that make noise. Her favorite machine is an excavator, has been since she was a tiny one. Nothing puts a smile on my face more than seeing my kids staring at a one lunger, or a giant old engine sitting running with all its moving parts and the unique noises they make. Fantastic! I'm so glad my Dad got me interested in machinery and very happy to pass that interest to the next generation!
That's great. I clearly recall, when I was about 3 years old (72 years ago), at my grandparents farm with my dad, my step granddad walked over to his old 2-cylinder John Deere tractor, opened the compression release, spun up the flywheel, closed the release, and off it went. I ran away in terror because the tractor had a straight pipe without muffler, and the distinctive, double pop-pop sound of the 180-degree combustion timing on that engine really hurt my ears!
Wow, I really can't believe how powerful the sound coming from the old engine is! It sounded like a small explosion, which would definitely startle someone. Although a bit noisy, the power from old engines like this always has its own charm. Definitely a must try!
Um, The Auto Union (became Audi) V-16 screamer generating 300hp? A Subaru can beat that? The factory room-sized single cylinder making 600hp while Lucid makes a 670hp electric motor (AND Transmission!) that I could lift with one arm? No, the old motors were Cool, Loud, and could be repaired with a crescent wrench and a hammer, but the raw power win goes to today's engines. There's a reason airliners use jets today.
@@Miata822you have to remember those big industrial engines may only make 200-300hp but they also make 5000-10,000 lbs torque at 300-400 rpm and can run continuously for weeks or months on end between servicing.
Absolutely excellent video, proper blokes stuff! Some amazing engineering there ,thanks for sharing with us, cant help wondering what happened to the huge truck mounted engine on your thumbnail, but brilliant show.

The wonderful thing about them is that each type of engine sings its own song. My favorites are the radial engines and most of all the Big Fairbanks-Morse ones.
They may be a lot smaller and a lot less cool but the power density and efficiency of modern engines is way above anything these old behemoths could muster 😂
I'm thinking a few of these engines might not meet current emission standards, but I'm no expert. 😂. I used to love hearing the old John Deere tractors. Low rpm, huge displacement
EXCELLENT compilation. Almost impossible to find any quality content on TH-cam anymore. Well done. I know everyone in California was on the phone with the EPA Emergency Hotline:"I just saw 62 engines without catalytic converters or exhausts!! Get me the director, the President, the Army!!".
AT 08:51 you appear to show a leyland L60 (6 cylinder 12 piston opposed piston 2 stroke engine) post ww2 and describe it as a v12 so it makes me wonder how accurate other statements are!
It’s crazy how some of these fill up an entire room and weigh dozens of tons but today we could build a sub 2 liter 4cyl engine with the same power output. at way higher rpm of course but this fact alone probably would’ve blown the engineers minds back then
It's all about torque, the huge 300RPM hit and miss engines could run entire factories, a small engine with even double the HP would have to scream at high RPM and have to run a ton of gear reduction to get the torque back which would make it impractical. There are still building sized engines on big vessels and generators today.
@andrewwalther9203 if it was obviously fake tf r u bitching about 😂😂😂 obviously it tricked u and ur engagement with the content only makes it more likely to gain traction... 😂😂
I wouldn't want to be anywhere near when one of those old motors blows up. That one was the most sensational i have seen! It really exploded! I've seen rods thrown through hoods, leaving a big hole,.much like a bullet hole (except MUCH larger!). But, until now, I've never seen one actually explode. This was fun!
17:14 Imagine hearing this from the other side of the fence! Also, you can see the fuel level drop rapidly in the white bottle, when he opens the throttle.
The Abbots Rolls Royce tanks engine you have described incorrectly. It is a Rolls Royce K60 multi fuel engine. It has six cylinders with two crankshafts and twelve pistons which are vertically opposed. It is a two stroke engine and the vertically opposed pistons form the combustion chambers as they meet in the centre of the cylinders with the injectors mounted approximately at the mid point. It has a supercharger which is actually used as a scavenge pump to extract the exhaust gases. These were fitted to the FV430 series of vehicles as used by the British Army however, the power pack in this video is not from the Abbot SPG but one of the other variants, probably the FV432 APC as the power pack from the Abbot is a much lower profile unit although it does share the same engine and some of the other components. The design was copied from a WW2 German aircraft engine.
I don't know why but the Griffon was never proposed for tank use as a more powerful version of the Meteor (the non-supercharged tank version of the Merlin).
because of the costs, not to mention, they already had that engine in service, and it supercharged (pun intended) the British tank development for the Cruiser tanks (and later Centurion, my beloved Centurion......,)
In another 100 years ... there'll be a video showing 200 year old engines that start and run. Many will question where are the 100 year old engines that still run. Engineers if given the choice will design and make stuff that lasts forever, put an accountant in charge and well you get Boeing and doors that fall out of airplanes.
You forgot the British Deltic engine, made by Napier of Manchester. A 2 stroke diesel with triangulated opposed pistons. Fitted in Royal Navy attack boats and 1960's locomotives.
When I took over my old broiler farm it had a ww2 surplus v12 vitrona diesel engine for a backup generator. We had to replace it with a v10 turbo LNG powerstroke because we upgraded the power supply. It was a cool old engine.
The car which they have called "The Beast" ( no relation to the chaser of the same name, only in size ) does actually have a Rolls Royce Merlin engine in it. The whole car has recently been totally rebuilt and is now dark blue. Still with a Merlin engine in it.
Creating this video was quite a challenge, as I had to use 119 different clips. I tried to include everybody but the description tab was too short to include all the links. That's why I decided to present it this way, since there was no other solution.

The sound of history coming alive! These engines are pure mechanical symphonies 🔥
Crescercanais. A true Gearhead!
And made to perfection.

This is therapy. Didn't know i needed it. Nice one!
I love these engines ! So cool .
Modern engines could never compete with the raw power and personality of these classics
Um, The Auto Union (became Audi) V-16 screamer generating 300hp? A Subaru can beat that?
The factory room-sized single cylinder making 600hp while Lucid makes a 670hp electric motor (AND Transmission!) that I could lift with one arm?
No, the old motors were Cool, Loud, and could be repaired with a crescent wrench and a hammer, but the raw power win goes to today's engines. There's a reason airliners use jets today.
You're right. Modern engines are much more powerful while being smaller, lighter, and more efficient.
😂😂😂😂
@@Miata822you have to remember those big industrial engines may only make 200-300hp but they also make 5000-10,000 lbs torque at 300-400 rpm and can run continuously for weeks or months on end between servicing.
Ok so saying that smaller capacity modern engines can’t compete with the torque and inefficiency of these older engines is more correct.
That steam tractor was a warhorse in its day. You did a excellent job rebuilding that steam engine. One of the best I've seen.
Woof... woof... chiff..chiff.....Woof... Woof....chiff..chiff...
❤ I love it
I'd love to hear more narration with details about the specs, history and uses of these engines. Great video!
I appreciate the feedback! I'll definitely consider adding more narration in future videos.
Great to see that so many people cherish these old beautiful pieces of technical art!
*THAT* was engineering. No computers, only hand made calculations and drawings and learning by doing. Todays products have no soul
Absolutely excellent video, proper blokes stuff! Some amazing engineering there ,thanks for sharing with us, cant help wondering what happened to the huge truck mounted engine on your thumbnail, but brilliant show.
Thank you for preserving and sharing these gems-these sounds deserve to echo forever!
Thank You, for the History.
I love rotary engines & radial engines. ❤
62 engines, 62 time machines. You don’t just hear them you feel them. Absolute masterpiece
Info about the engines at the bottom of the screen needs to be there longer than 1 1/2 sec. Not everybody has the speed reading talent.

I'd like to see a lot of these engines running WELL.
Indeed, these are incredible inventions. It's the first time I've ever seen something like this.
The wonderful thing about them is that each type of engine sings its own song. My favorites are the radial engines and most of all the Big Fairbanks-Morse ones.
Thank you for helping to warm the solar system.
That was fascinating thankyou everyone involved.
Never realized how “small” engines are now this is crazy
They may be a lot smaller and a lot less cool but the power density and efficiency of modern engines is way above anything these old behemoths could muster 😂
Great video. Would be nice to know what half of them are and theirs uses
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try to include more specific information in my next video.
Great video of engines. I wish my Father was still around to see this video, he would have loved it. Thx.👍👍🇨🇦
Back in 1974, my Dad rebuilt the 289 in our 1966 Ranch Wagon!! It actually had more power than it did new!! My Dad passed in 2004 age 79.
Absolute ... 🎶🎵 *MUSIC* 🎶🎵... for my ears !!!
It was great to see all the engines run but was greatly disappointed in not seeing many not cold start. That’s why I tuned in.
Just glad that guy running a full blown jet engine in his back yard is not my neighbor!
That dodge truck with the cummins sure put a smile on my face.
where thumbnail engine?
That's a fake AI generated image
Thank you for the warning these engine sounds were loud. My iPad speakers almost blew out my eardrums but I turned ‘em down just in time
WOW Thanks for the post.Im 68 and was needing out on it Love steam also of course
Enjoy!
It would be very interesting to hear each engines hp, torque and history...
....warms my heart TY ❤
health and safety would have a field day with these engines ....deadly but fantastic !
Interesting engines. Would have liked more commentary. Where's the engine in the thumbnail?
That is a fake AI creation
Love the old tech. but now love the electric motors.
I'm thinking a few of these engines might not meet current emission standards, but I'm no expert. 😂. I used to love hearing the old John Deere tractors. Low rpm, huge displacement

I love vintage engines ok 👍
13:39 This steam engine produced 5,000 pounds feet of torque. A true torque monster.
That RR K60 engine is awesome. It's a two-stroke, multifuel and had opposing pistons in one cilinder.
Seeing that guy climb out of that truck on the dyno was hard to put into words. Glad he made it out with everything still attached.😮
4:40 Ah, the old Gardner 6 LXB, as used in many London Buses that I used to drive. Never had a breakdown in 31 years. The engine was pretty good, too.
AT 08:51 you appear to show a leyland L60 (6 cylinder 12 piston opposed piston 2 stroke engine) post ww2 and describe it as a v12 so it makes me wonder how accurate other statements are!
Yeah tiger 131 doesn't have a Deutz engine
This is AWESOME! I just wish people would stop talking about horsepower with diesels. They barely make HP, they make a sh*t ton of torque!!!
Hp is how work gets done.
It’s crazy how some of these fill up an entire room and weigh dozens of tons but today we could build a sub 2 liter 4cyl engine with the same power output. at way higher rpm of course but this fact alone probably would’ve blown the engineers minds back then
Maybe the same, or greater, HP output, but not the amount of torque that these large engines have.
It's all about torque, the huge 300RPM hit and miss engines could run entire factories, a small engine with even double the HP would have to scream at high RPM and have to run a ton of gear reduction to get the torque back which would make it impractical.
There are still building sized engines on big vessels and generators today.
@@wyvern4588 i know. still a mindblowing fact for an 1800s engineer for sure
Nice!
It would be cool to see some of the old diesel engines that were used in submarines.
For american subs that would be Fairbanks Morse and one of those engines can be seen running on the uss silversides
Those old 2 stroke diesels sound crazy
Stop the fake thumbnails, thumbsdown every video with fake thumbnails.
But you cared enough to comment which helps his algorithm 😂
WTF are you talking about? It was a compilation of old engines which still run. THATS what the video advertised. Obviously you didn't even watch it.
@NorthCalNonLib the giant obviously fake engine on the thumbnail. That's wtf I'm talking about.
@andrewwalther9203 if it was obviously fake tf r u bitching about 😂😂😂 obviously it tricked u and ur engagement with the content only makes it more likely to gain traction... 😂😂
I agree fake thumbnail, fed up with this.
I was glad to see the Beast Of Turin.
And the turbo-coumpounds!
at 7:45 the guy in the car jams fingers in ears because it's so loud vs the guy by the engine deaf as a post!
3:52 is Brutus, not previously mentioned bentley - packard
I wouldn't want to be anywhere near when one of those old motors blows up.
That one was the most sensational i have seen! It really exploded!
I've seen rods thrown through hoods, leaving a big hole,.much like a bullet hole (except MUCH larger!).
But, until now, I've never seen one actually explode.
This was fun!
Why do these machines sound so good to us?
WOW! 🥰😎🥰💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👌🏻
Sherwood, be nice to know what half of these motors are used in what they are who made them
17:14 Imagine hearing this from the other side of the fence! Also, you can see the fuel level drop rapidly in the white bottle, when he opens the throttle.
wow! You weren’t kidding. That beast is thirsty.
Why doesn't it jump off the mounting whilst delivering that much power? 😮
Engines with character 😊
Old engines just sound better in my opinion
The Jet Truck Engine is a fucking beautiful beast!
Also the Fairbanks 3 Cyl Morse is an absolute unit!

Who doesn't love Engines??? Piston-Pounding Monsters!! Sceaming 2-Strokes!! Turbo-Shaft dynamos!!!
And dancing valves.
That Ferrari F1 engine.. damn, Ferraris have always sounded awesome! 2.4 liter V8... Very cool.
LOL ... About one guy wearing ear defenders, the rest are already deaf from their babies 😂
The monster featured at 6:00 is so steampunk it should have it's own Jules Verne mythology.
Most beautiful machine for me too. And the steam tractor.
Those races with jet trucks and flying buses is childish, redneck stuff.
In another 100 years ... there'll be a video showing 200 year old engines that start and run. Many will question where are the 100 year old engines that still run.

The old Merlin V-12 aircraft engines were years ahead of there time !
That Bentley Packard is so badass
Tiger 131 has a Maybach HL230P30 V-12 petrol engine not a Deutz MHK260
Are any of these for sale? I want to do an engine swap on my Civic.
19:40 You're describing the ferrari 158 v8, but the video shows a ferrari 1512 with a 1.5l V12
You forgot the British Deltic engine, made by Napier of Manchester. A 2 stroke diesel with triangulated opposed pistons. Fitted in Royal Navy attack boats and 1960's locomotives.
Napier were at Acton and Liverpool.
Великолепный ролик. И почему так мало просмотров?
That national gas engine sounded like something from Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.
When I took over my old broiler farm it had a ww2 surplus v12 vitrona diesel engine for a backup generator. We had to replace it with a v10 turbo LNG powerstroke because we upgraded the power supply. It was a cool old engine.
0:47 What a beautiful Maybach HL230!
It's a Continental V12, not a Maybach. With the air cooled Cylinders it doesn't even look Like a watercooled Maybach.
@@schokomann173 My bad, I don’t know engines so good :(

6:02 i saw something similar in the Henry Ford museum. It's very large and something to be hold
17:21 Dude look at the fuel it is consuming holy crap lol
I may have missed it, but the Big Boy Locomotive needs to be included.
The RR griffon engine was never used in tanks
16:28 - Hell yeah!
4:15 - Great shot of a Blue Angels F-4 Phantom.
Unfortunately the Bentley-Packard Car was mixed up with the German "Brutus", powered by a BMW aircraft engine. The car you see driving is the Brutus.
I love these old chuggsters
3:55 Nerves of steel to take a corner that fast on those tiny bias-ply tires!
I would like to see a t 55 engine
Hell with my ears, my mind is blown! 🤪
That’s the way an engine is supposed to sound like, not the way they run today with all the emissions on them.
