This was the engine I saw when I was a boy. My dad worked for RG&E in Rochester and took us there on our way to Johnsonburg PA. I couldn't remember what kind of engine it was, all I remember was that it was huge!
Glad to see they actually ran it, most of the large hot gas engines that are open to the public are run on compressed air because of cost, fumes and noise/vibration.
Hang on.....I'll just walk around it one more time.....just once - promise. I jest, but I'm really impressed with the video. For an engine that size it's extremely quiet and the engineering is just unbelievable.
What would be kind of cool is if the compressor section of the snow could be connected and used to charge up starting air tanks for other engines on the show ground.
Correct me if i am wrong. I am assuming it has 2 pistons along the movement of the crankshaft and with 2 combustion happening in the middle where there is a divider separating both the cylinder with the rod going through the middle.
I was wrong this engine has 4 combustion chamber 1 cam shaft 4 cam lifters or lobes and 8 rocker arms and 8 valves ,all in one crank shaft . Wow i am fascinated.
Is these motors worth it ,if u have natural gas available with price of 2$/ 10 gallons ? How much its economic efficiency comparing to diesel. I've 600 PH motor using propane. I'm from area 40% of world crude oil pumped and 60% of natural gas.
A gas engine or a gas engine is an old name for a heat engine . It partially converts the internal energy of a heated and compressed gas into mechanical work. The theoretical basis of this process is the gas law (pV = nRT) with the three gas state variables pressure, temperature, volume and the universal gas constant . The name gas engine has nothing to do with the gaseous fuel (eg natural gas).
It starts up using compressed air in combustion chamber #1 to get it turning until one of the other 3 chambers starts firing. Then the compressed air stops and all 4 combustion chambers are given fuel and ignition to run as an internal combustion engine. The coolspring engine is one of very few preserved engines of this type to actually have fuel being delivered to all 4 combustion chambers, most other operational examples run on only 2 of their 4 chambers due to fuel supply limitations.
@@00rangerdood That so? It has to be barred to just past top dead center on chamber 1, the first rotation nothing happens anyway, but by the 2nd or 3rd rotation at least one chamber should have a good mixture and light off. If it was getting compressed air on all chambers it would interfere with fuel delivery, they would have to get it spinning on air then catch it on fuel as it coasts. Plenty of large air started engines only supply air to cylinder #1, so it would seem odd to me if this one does distribute it as you say.
Not all Amish are picky about it. Depends on the local congregation and the opinion of the local elder. Some won't pose for a picture, but if they get caught by the camera they don't really care.

My Great Grand Father, Ory Brown, was on the Roystone crew that maintained these beautiful machines.
🤓Awesome! That mammoth looks like some alien beast from the Si Fi movie Alien or something! What a monster!
Our ancestors were amazing people, I am proud to have known some of them!
Cheers bud.
I wonder if people realise all energy we use on this plant originated from Solar. Nice video.

Excellent perspective !

I have seen this engine running it less 5 miles from my house i known Dr Paul Harvey one of founders of the Coolspring power Museum.

Engine run starts at 3:48
how many horsepower?
One of the cross beams has gone out of skew on treadle

starts at 3:42
ok let me guess 'its a sewing machine motor 'right ?
your funny
Yes, it for sewing machine, that uses 50mm steel rope as a sewing thread and tank armor as a cloth.
Well, it sure didn't come out from under a Maytag washing machine.
What about powering a dentists drill

I guess that is the reason why it runs so quietly - a combustion engine this size would be louder than hell...
3:30 they start it.
Que tanto anda na volta aquele pateta de boné????
I like it so much!
However I think that it is a machine quite large and dangerous to be operated by just a guy sorrounded by a lot of visitors.
just a hint of bazaar lets put this in a motor cycle
That would be a great way to get down the road.
is it really burning fuel or just running on compressed air for demonstration ?
It is really burning gas coming out of the ground of the museum. Isn't that great?
It starts up using compressed air in combustion chamber #1 to get it turning until one of the other 3 chambers starts firing. Then the compressed air stops and all 4 combustion chambers are given fuel and ignition to run as an internal combustion engine.

@@renegadeoflife87 It actually feeds air to all 4 combustion chambers through a timed diverter valve. It wouldn't roll over on just 1.

How old is this piece of machinery ?
There are at least three other engineers in the picture!
What is this engine for?
It was used to pump Natural Gas, burned as much gas as it pumped.

Coolspring power museum...where?
Coolspring, Pennsylvania
Edit the video to the moving parts....
How did you get the 5 Amish fellows to agree to have their picture taken?!

Its 2018 even the Amish daydream about having an occasional selfie. Showing off his beard i bet
Hahahahaha!!
600 hp
6:20 Oops xD
Tripped the overspeed and had to reset it.
Edit out the first 3.5 minutes of nothing....
Ignore this comment as this is a personal msg for someone
For michael
How did you know that im cold?
