ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE and very informative, thank God we have people keeping this historical priceless engines running for the rest of us to admire and appreciate relics from the past, thanx
gene Pohlemann + Oh thank you very much for your kind words ! We really appreciate it:) Have a nice day and much health !
Having opened up flatHeads, Overheads, F-heads, etc since very young my impressions of the science demonstrated by each design soundly points to the concepts and principles of engineering that has made such a "garden" of kinetic power plants all remarkably different.
In short, amazing. These designs will never become "old". They are being adapted into new concepts but remain anchored in the original languages of energy conversion. Each engine is really its own language in response to efficient power to weight ratios.
This has to be one of the best videos for aviators on CZcams... BIG THAK YOU.
There is nothing like the sound of a 28 cylinder radial engine! Beauty and fine engineering!
Yeah! That's the P&W "Corn Cob"
The last one.I want it in my living room.
Wow, those big radials are mighty beasts! Thanks for the video.
5:20 I remember learning with the Allison 250D when I got my A&P. Even running one up on the test stand. Pretty awesome to seeing flames coming out the exhaust when the burner can lights off.
True, but to actually be the person making those flames come out the exhaust. Now that's thrilling!
Naval Aviation, 14 yrs. F-14A jet engine and fuel systems mechanic.
Low power qualified.
High power qualified.
Out at sea, aboard the carrier, slamming both engines into zone 5 afterburner. That's impressive!
That R-4360 is mental.
Love the Ranger SGV- 770 V-12 whoosh sound
"just amazing" the engineering that went into building any, of these engines. especially the ones with the multiple cylinders.
Robert, check my post! I was just reiterating what you said..well a little!😉 And to this day, virtually all cars & trucks are still running 4-stroke piston engines! Sure, gone are things like distributors and carburetors. But the pistons, crankshaft, cams, valves n' stuff are all still there! There are still a lot of Harleys like 2006 and earlier that have carbs & manual chokes! I almost bought a 2007 Fat Boy with that! But I found a cool 2007 FB that had been retro-fitted with a 2010 96" twin-cam and Electronic FI!!👋
I worked on many R-2800 Pratt and Whitney engines back in the early 70’s. T-28’s, C-123’s, C-54’s. They were a real workhorse throughout the 50’s through the 70’s. I understand that even C-47’s are being retrofitted with 2800’s now.
thanks for posting some great shots here, here in CT that jet at the 5 minute mark would sure come in handy cleanin up the leaves.
2:30 love this 1940 Allison V-1710 12cyl sounds beautiful, and an excellent performing engine in the P-38 Lightning - of course there was 2 of these engines powering it.
0:16 Amazing that it's still around and flying after all these years. Must have been pretty well built!
You think that's the original, do you?
Maybe maybe not. You seem to be the expert, will you tell us?
@@gertnood definitely won't be the original, but things like that were built to last unlike the stuff we get today. "Lasts until warranty expires"
All these wonderful engines are music to my ears......thank you!
Margaret Roselle+ :) Have a nice day !
Back when unlimited hydroplane racing was cool, the noise of Allison and Rolls Merlin V12's ruled!
That last one was awesome looking. I like how the blades look like they're barely turning, or just sitting still. It's like magic cause it's still running.
The 4360 is such a BEAST.
beautifull engines
Thanks for taking the time to make the video and share it
The Pratt & Whitney R-4360 sounds like a high performance auto engine! Doesn't sound like the other aircraft engines.
Woow...มันสวย งาม และ ทรงพลัง สุดยอด ..love u fc 2020
Ah, the P&W 4360. Basically a gigantic watch made of steel and aluminum that put out 3500+ HP! Incredible!
great engine! powered the B-36, KC-97, B-50, C-124 and C-119.
My Father-in-Law crewed B-36s and KC-97s.
That is totally awesome! I couldn't imagine the sound levels around them beasties
Nice collection of some rare engines and a couple I've not even seen in museums.
Great video, wonderfull sounds.
John Wood + Thank you John :)
I especially loved to see the Allison T63 Turboshaft; N I C E !!! What a rush to see it run ! Aarre Peltomaa
LT. Dan, you got new wings.
Super fine video. Tell history, great to see. Thanks for opload.
Great !
Thank you so very much. This kind of stuff really turns me on.
Looks awesome
Fantastic video!
I’m amazed you didn’t throw a RR Merlin engine into this video, a truly iconic thing. The Napier Sabre would have been cool to see too
No Sabres running - yet...
The Packard V-1650 is basically the same thing as the Rolls-Royce Merlin. The V-1650 was built by Packard under lease from RR.
@@lsswappedcessna Packard called their version the Merlin, because it was.
@@MarsFKA Yeah pretty much. Pretty sure "V-1650" is the engine's classification, V, because it's a V-shaped block, and 1650 because it's ~1650ci.
@@lsswappedcessna Its classification is the Merlin, and always has been.
that display modal at the end was amazing
Astonishingly! What sparked the first engine? Incredible what human beings can do.
Thanks for sharing such great video.
Juan Flores + Thank you ! :)
The corn cob sounds amazing.
Want to hear more corn cob music? Find the clip of B 36 start up from the movie Strategic air command.
That Le Rhone is a trip. The whole engine spins like the prop. I've never seen that.
That's why they were called "rotary engines". Literally it means spinning engine, not something spinning INSIDE the engine, but literally rotating ENGINE.
Be happy you weren't sitting behind it. Has a constant loss oil system using castor oil. *That* castor oil. Pilots had the constant squits - not to mention the torque. A Camel will turn right 4 times faster than it turns left, because a right turn goes with the engine torque. 110/130hp. My old Renault Safrane 2.2vi - 138hp.
A German company managed to design a counter rotating rotary - fixed crankcase geared rotating cylinders - but very complex and had a habit of blowing up.
Awesome 👍👍👍 Greatly Interesting
Great engine and video.
No sounds except the orchestra of exhaust . Thank you.
A bunch of old farts (like me) thrilling and chilling.
Hi Jeff, I'm 67 and loved it loud too. Nice to say hello
@blues howler
Likewise 😁
not only old farts love old planes and engines ya know :)
@clay ocean
You're a old fart in training. Don't worry, the qualifying requirements are pretty low.
@@jeffjames4064 haha, thank you
very nice!
Very Good!... 360
I love a nice pair of bristols
Man the Bristol centaurus is one of the best engines ever made
Thank you.
3:53 also used for making smoke screens.
These engines are beasts totally wow
When I was an apprentice at A,V,Roe Woodford ,Cheshire in the fifties we rebuilt an Avroe 504 K fitted with a Le Rhone rotary engine.This one had a badly scored cylinder liner but OK,d for a few hours use.After lots of sweat pulling the prop it started with clouds of smoke and at low revs the misfire on that cylinder could be seen and heard.In the event the aircraft took off on a very short run assisted by two lads holding the lower wing tips.I believe its in the Shuttleworth museum now!
This engine had original Mica spark plugs and bare brass HT leads stretched from the crankcase pick up ring.
I used to work on the R-4360 in C-124s. The L-1 mag fires the left-hand plug in the B and D rows.
You miss the howle German technology. For example DB605 from which the US tought it is a radial engine but it is a inverted V12 with up to 2150PS and the fact that the first flyable plane with an jet engine was a German one (Messerschmitt). The DB605 was using a compressor long before some guys in the US used one in a plane and a fule injection system which allowed it to use NOS as boost.
No Double Wasp, Rolls Royce Merlin, DB601(605,610,...), BMW 801, Jumo 211, Bristol Hercules, Bristol Centaurus, Klimow M-105, Napier Sabre, Wright Cyclone.. There are so many good Aircraft Engiens, especially around WW2 era... :(
Damn, this video tickled me. Thank you
Blues Howler + :)) Have a nice day !
Beautiful engine's .
I recognize the motorcycle shop in Napa Valley, where they ran the P&W R-4360. I would love to have been there for that.
I love how the curtiss is on a grill
2:15 Ranger engine with its period correct Holley carb fitted 😁✌️
0:17 I had the pleasure of sitting on the pilot's seat of this Wright flyer replica.
Very cool.
Great engines!!!!
Don't get blown over by the jet engine!!
That last one... "Dang" - Joe Dirt
Super collections
Fantastic😍
Eric Andersen + Thank you :) Have a nice day
Yeah that Wright Flyer engine was HUGE.......
How cool! 👍
Awesome stuff Cheers..
Thank you :)
I see you have a small portable fire suppression set up.... good ! A wee bit better for total safety is a 1500 gal. above ground tank with a small diesel H.P. fire pump, a sprinkler system trenched in a
100 ft out and all around the house...... thats what we did and I rest well knowing I can surpress a wind blown ground fire. Just an FYI from the Oregon Forest home site
of our house... P.S. I have a 100ft. of 1 1/2" fire hose I can lay out also alone with a 250 gal. portable tank & pump. Thanks Trent and we need some more flying vids.
Thanks!
Thank you Steve :) We really appreciate it !
ÓTIMOS MOTORES ANTIGOS Q SERVIRAM AS ÉPOCAS, BRASIL OK.
Anyone miss the Merlin here?
Great video
The Pratt & Whitney R-4360 in the thumbnail is all ready to go as is much of the inventory at the Airzoo's east wing
05:10 - Very similar to the DeHavilland Ghost Turbojet!
Many of these engines had those bottle-shaped combustion chambers (or "fire tubes") arranged in a sort of "cone".
The very first passenger Jet, the DeHavilland Comet I had 4 of those Ghost units.
Of course, that is well known among aircraft enthusiasts and "gear heads".
The first successful airworthy jet airliner was the Boeing 707.
The Comet 1 was grounded and its airworthiness certification was permanently revoked.
True, but the Comet 1 was still the first to go beyond the prototype stage and go into commercial service. Boeing wisely examined all of the mistakes mad by DeHavilland in developing the 707!
whilst I'm willing to admit that Packard made the best Merlin engines i would have expected to see more engines from the UK than one,
Sorry folks, while the Liberty was a fine engine, it certainly was not the first to fly the Atlantic Ocean. The first aircraft to fly the Atlantic was a Vickers Vimy powered by two Rolls Royce Eagles. The pilots were Alcock and Brown and the flight took place in 1919. Look it up.....
2:37 why do it sound like a 2JZ tho
why will it be q when we hear the sound of the activation of these engines it gives us the chills it is like listening to good music
its a symphony of pistons from a long gone era
Like... METAL?
Really good vid. Thanks! I've been a long-time cyclist (both w and w/o motor). Always appreciated engineering demostrations. { : - )))
phillip brady + Thank you phillip:) We appreciate it. Have a nice day!
that P&W R-4360 sounds really nice with an exhaust on it, all the other radials I've heard just sound like a bunch of strait piped lawn mowers that all run really bad
I love the way at 6:00 the Allison turboshaft museum cutaway sounds like a helicopter (you can hear the rotors it hasn't got 😉
I thought I was the only one who recognized that! Amazing catch, sir!
I noticed that also
I thought that was the sound of the turbine blades.
That thing at 5:17 is far superior to my Sears Weedeater for yard work!
pest control too
Отличный ролик!
I love the Holley carburetor on the Ranger V-12.
2 Holleys!
The Pratt R4360 may have been the biggest engine but the Wright R1820 (B-17, FM-2, T-28) had the biggest jugs: 200 cubic inches (3 1/3 liters).
Outright ass kicking!
The very first engine that fly Atlantic was Rolls Royce Eagle VIII ,V 12 engine.On Vickers Vimy airplane,from Newfoundland to Ireland,in 1919.
You are correct that the first NON-STOP flight was powered by Rolls-Royces but the first aircraft to cross the Atlantic was the Liberty powered Curtiss NC-4. It took 10 days and 22 hours to get from Newfoundland to Lisbon with a protracted stop in the Azores with mechanical trouble, eventually arriving on the 27th May 1919. Nonetheless this was the first aircraft of any kind to cross the Atlantic by air. Alcock and Brown achieved their rather more impressive feat in June.
Awesome
Sooooooo many components must be working in absolutely perfect unison for a plane to fly… it blows my mind how truly few accidents there are
Aviation is a miracle
Brilliant
That SGC-770 Ranger sure isn't an inverted V12 unless somebody flipped it upside down !
Also, I believe the R4360 is generally held to be THE largest production aircraft engine ever built, the key word being production. Largewr experimental engines were built but never produced in useable quantities.
That is correct! That Lycoming Monster never went past the prototype stage! There is one on static display at the Air & Space museum near Dulles Airport!
Yes, it had been converted to upright configuration. The engine as produced by Ranger was inverted. In Wichita, we had (and still do) a war surplus outlet that had several of these still in crates when I was a boy in the early '50s.
nice aeroplane machine
First engine to fly is the Daimler-Benz NL-1 designed by Welhelm Maybach in 1900.
This is amazing but when were valve covers invented?
Boa tarde meu amigo Donizete Bragança Paulista SP
Mechanical poetry.
I love the idea of sticking an airplane engine into a sports car.
It wouldn't work all that well only because airplane engines run at a considerably lower compression which is why they sounds like they do
Even better if a motorcycle or a trike instead of a sports car😂😂
Search for a car called the Brutus. It has the engine of a bf109 in it.
A plane engine though has a lot less HP than a car engine as they move through something a lot more fluid and don’t have the weight of the machine acting on a road surface which causes so much drag
@@mhmadgenious Not counting the "special" land speed models like the British Railton (two Napier engines) or the American White Triplex (THREE Liberty engines) then?
Good video
houseofpain lilrock + Thank you :) Take care
that last Alison turboprop thoughy the batmobile was getting ready to go
5:50 that was awesome
Did I really miss the DB 605??
スゴイエンジンですね。
