    Couple engine comments. Back in the mid 1960's when I was a teenager I visited my Aunt in Smackover Arkansas. She took me to an oil field outside of town and showed me the layout where a huge hit and miss engine was running and pushing and pulling rods that fanned out from it to a number of oil well rocking beam pumps. All of them run by this one engine. She told me how as kids, they would come out here and 'walk the rods, balancing and walking on the steel rods that first went one way and then came back. She then demonstrated by getting on one of the moving rods and walking like a stroll in the park. She was 84 years old at that time. I went back around 1988 for my uncles funeral with my family and we looked at that oil field, it was all gone, had been reclaimed and had trees and foliage on a place that used to nothing but many acres of oil soaked land. In my work, I had two of those Detroit diesels back to back turning a 150KW generator. On a routine start and run up for maintenance, both diesels ran away and and the overspeed failed to shut them down, the generator fan came apart and blasted out of its housing peppering the walls of the engine room with shrapnel. Quite the event to be in there when that happened, and boy did those engines scream. Luckily nobody was injured. Neither diesel was damaged, a new housing and fan installed and back in business, after replacing the bad overspeed control.

    Hi! I too share your passion for all ICE’s! As an ex marine engineer I worked with Paxman Valenta and Ventura V16s. We used to say “ ….if it isn’t leaking oil, it hasn’t got any oil”.
    My favourite is without doubt the Lister engine so sweet and so reliable.
    A good friend of mine had a small yacht with a Lister auxiliary single cylinder engine (his iron topsail!) and the starting routine was almost religious!

    I love to positivity of this video. My dad loved engine sounds and I attended many antique engine shows in my life. From a maytag washing machine engine to gigantic single cylinder engines I remember the pulsing and rumbling of those old machines. Lots of familiar sounds here. My dad also liked tractor pulls not for the pulling of the sleds but for the wide open throttles of those giant engines straining down the track.

I know it's a matter of personal preference, but for me it's a toss up between the sound of a RR Merlin or TS3 as number one. Thanks for uploading all those great sounds.

    The Fairbanks Morse Model 32D engines in your video appear to be four cylinder, not six. The Air Start operation was performed by the operator using a bar in the flywheel holes to turn one cylinder to just past Top Dead Centre. Compressed air was then released into that cylinder, pushing the piston down to start turning the engine. The other cylinders then fired in sequence by compression ignition. The bar was not used to "inflate the cylinders with air".

    Awesome video 👍👍👍. Never ever get tired of hearing a 2 stroke Detroit. I worked on 2 strike Detroits and Deutz air cooled V engines used in underground mining equipment. Those Deutz’s are good engines but the parts are spendy . Also the Caterpillar D399 engines are a hard pushing SOB. I worked on a lot of them in tow boats on the Columbia River System. Nothing like hitting the Air Start on a V-12 D399 and hearing that engine roll over, it was like a 12 inch diameter steel shaft on bear steel, it was kinda nuts, but they fired right up. The fuel injection system was not to great compared to today’s engines and they pull out a lot of black smoke like all diesel engines did. Nothing like standing on the deck of a towboat at 7 am a fall morning on the river crisp clean air , the smell of beacon frying on the stove in the boat’s galley and your out on the rear deck with a cup of hot coffee and they light off those D399 with the black diesel smell smoke mixed in with it all, doesn’t get any better then thst,👍👍👍👍.

    When I was a young child I the 1960s our family would visit my widowed grandmother. On her rural property was a joinery and woodworking shop my grandfather had built. Every machine in the shop was belt driven off a single wooden shaft that ran the entire length of the building. Outside was a large belt driven flywheel but the driving engine had been taken away. As kids we would wind up the flywheel by hand and take turns using the machines inside. Looking back we were lucky not to have lost a finger or two.

    5:19 the bar in the flywheel was not to inflate the cylinders with air. This was to get the engine barred over into starting position, at which time the cylinder valves would be open so there would be zero compression allowing the task to be completed.. The air for starting came from an air compressor and tank that was precharged prior to starting.

    • @davelowets
      @davelowets Před rokem +3

      Wrong... If the "valves were open" when the starting air was introduced, the air would go RIGHT OUT the ports, NOT move the piston at ALL, and the engine would do NOTHING.
      They are barring the engine over to get it in the right position so that any ports or "valves" are closed, and the piston is at the top dead center of the cylinder so that the air that they introduce to start it is trapped and will act upon the piston, pushing it down, and getting the engine to rotate.

    Took shop mechanics in High School. 3 hours a day every afternoon my senior year. That was 1973, now I am 67 and thinking about buying a small briggs and stratton mower tomorrow... Bought a new house with a 3/4 acre yard, grass getting away!!! Never regretted Mechanics shop, never dreaded coming to class and we got to take things apart put them together and lots of humor about little things that did not quite make sense. Once you know the deal, all engines, especially 4 cyles, follow a logical conclusion. However with modern engines and the computers, more like running a background check and then replacing electronic components. In those days a feeler gage a certain kind of twist with the wrench and listen for the best sound heard from the engine to include, exhaust, valves, and rocker arms. Big engines designed to be tinkered with and to be maintained. Never let you down, and amaze you with their sticktoittiveness!!!

    I can't imagine having to work all day next to one of those engines.

    I use to work on those old Detroit 2 cycle diesel generators like the one in the video. Lots of smoke and pollution. The Suffolk county water Authority had a V16 2 cycle diesel at the old Brentwood pumping station. It had a 2’ diameter exhaust pipe sticking out of the control building. It would fill a foot ball field full of black smoke when it started up.

      Yep, and they drank fuel like a drunken sailor drinks alcohol too..
      SO much noise, fuel, smoke, and pollution, for so little horsepower.

      The exhaust system on some of these things were absolutely HUGE! I was a contractor working on a building that was going to be a new Casino. There was a huge generator that had a 24 cylinder, 1704c.i. Detroit Diesel, with quad turbos, and 2 roots blowers on it, for back-up power to the entire facility. The "muffler" for the engine was lying on the floor of what was to be the future generator room, and it was large enough that I could stoop down inside the pipe, crawl into the muffler, and just about stand up. The thing was MASSIVE! I still have pictures around somewhere of me doing this.. 😆
      Edit: I was there the day the installers finished getting it installed, fired up, and then load tested it. That thing absolutely ROARED when it got up close to maximum load. It was crazy.. Sounded like it was revving to the moon, but it was less than 2000 RPMs.(I believe it was 1200 RPMs for a 480 volt, 3-phase, 60hz system).
      The "Screamin Jimmy" nickname they earned was quite appropriate..

      I once heard an old guy (like me) say that the Detroit diesel was the best way known to man, to turn diesel fuel into noise.

    Not just the sound but the smell. The smell of diesel fumes coming from a big locomotive engine in full roar is my favourite smell. That's the smell of power, the smell of get the hell out of the way or get squashed!

    Great engine video. Keep all the stats comments plus your first loving the sound and delete all the rest. We don't need know every time how much you love them - we love them too.

    Thanks for posting TF. Just like you I love these old power units, especially the one that blew smoke rings but for the sound, my money's on the beast at 9:39, such a mesmeric sound and tone. What I find so funny is on the newest battery Ferrari they want to keep the distinctive sound and have to make something up that'll work like the real thing.
    It's wonderful & impressive to see these old beasts still working and being lovingly cared for, but it's the old Rolls Royce aircraft units that floats my boat and I'd love to put one into a motorbike frame.
    In my work as a lime plasterer we had a diesel motor powering the works 2 ton pug mixer. This was 2 metal rollers rotating on a shaft on top of a metal base and we'd shovel the sand and slaked lime in with the wheels which would crush any big lumps of aggregate in the mixing mortar.
    The only problem was starting it, you needed 2 people, one to turn the starting handle and one to flip the switch when the person on the starting handle said to do it.

    I realize these machines are antiques however I recognize many cast iron parts very similar to castings I poured, cleaned at McNally Pittsburg Foundry 1979... for the oil field and coal industry. Especially the big flywheels.
    I was involved with every step except core setting. We specialized in heavy difficult castings .
    I never got to see the castings assembled or painted.

    Rather interesting how the two Fairbanks engines has a musical rhythm to them before getting up to speed, almost like a brass instrument.
