the old man at 1:55 is not afraid to die anymore

[@doctoredable]

The Rotec R2800 is not a rotary engine as stated here. It is a radial engine.

[@Enkidu1701]

The old guy with the Merlin engine is my favorite. Does he even know what fear is? I bet nobody can scare prank this man.

[@woohunter1]

Enkidu1701 Chuck Noriss's dad.

[@Enkidu1701]

That explains why he started the engine with a roundhouse kick. It was just to quick to see in normal speed.

[@kahviijapullaa]

I bet that old man's ansver to all questions are: "WHAT..?" ... no matter how loud u shout your question to him.That's the "old men's problem" They don't care about ear-protection.

[@0Sirk0]

lol, can't get a merlin anymore, please, dig one out of a riverbed and put new oil in it, its fine. What I wanted to say was watch the Merlin engine documentary, really incredible stuff for ww2 era England. One of the tests they had to do was make- idk, 3-5 engines- tear them down, then rebuild them with parts from separate engines, and they all worked perfectly without any adjustments to the parts. Hella tolerances and skillz

[@Mannyrod11]

Wasn't the Merlin used in the P-51 Mustang, the Cadillac of the sky?

[@craigpennington1251]

The bikes were wild&crazy. Love to ride one sometime. Most of these engines are gas guzzle monsters.

[@camgere]

Best use of a stretched and raked motorcycle frame EVER!

[@wmden1]

The Merlin was the Bad Boy on this block. A couple of others might had more hp, not sure, but that great sound is unique. I am sure it comforted many a soldier, during WWII, and was a tried and true game changer of the air war.

[@velcroman11]

Those radial bikes are so sick. Me want one!

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Boy, that "Merlin" V12 certainly lights up, (and runs), as authority with a attitude problem. Min 1:20. What a monster.

[@rylancalebquiachon6580]

2:05 The Rootes TS3 "Commer Knocker" is like the small diesel engine in Stormworks.

[@marvinblankinchip2535]

After seeing about ten mistakes, I turned off the sound, stopped reading the captions an just looked at the pretty pictures. I really enjoyed this video that way.

[@smudge0356]

@Marvin Blankinchip Wish I'd done that! But I was still hoping to learn something new.

[@user-bg7nn7nu1x]

Да, конечно только рад, что есть так много разного видео по одной только теме,неговоря уже про остальное!Спасибо!

[@billythekid6418]

Nice automobile list, engines in general I find more interesting. Such as the pulse jet. :)

[@tylerriggan6985]

4:32 This is actually the twin inline 6 GM 6046 it was also used in the M4 Sherman

[@cobra5087]

Tyler Riggan I thought it looked a little small for 5 blocks. And it’s painted in Retro Detroit Diesel green too.

[@carlnapp8673]

2:20 The Junkers' opposed piston diesels used to start much easier, if the back-pressure in the exhaust was increased by a temporary constriction.

[@H1delta]

I think the Ford 427 SOHC would look great on a 32 3-window coupe.

[@wallbanger1968]

The "Chrysler multibank" engine shown on here appears to actually be 2 Detroit Diesel engines mounted side by side.

[@arodrigues2843]

wallbanger1968 Absolutelly correct!!! That is a paired bank Detroit Diesel!!!

[@antizakkonic7789]

I believe they're actually 4-poppers but you are absolutely right, they are DD's right down to the Roots blowers and mold green factory paint.

[@stefanieoverdorff2477]

WTF that Chrysler sure looks like a 2stroke Joke of a Detroit Diesel to me! Paired 6-71s

[@Dieselserviceman]

Nothing similar to a Detroit at all about them

[@rockerneck]

youre dumb

[@thatrickster1]

Great. But you are not showing the multibank engine under the superimposed text.

[@AngliaNutz]

The Ford Cammer was a beast but the one piece camshaft drive chain could leave the left bank running with as much as 8º camshaft timing retardation.

[@battalionstallion3894]

The v 12 aircraft engine is nice we have one in Calgary

[@stebstebanesier6205]

That guy throttling the Merlin, his ears are ringing so bad,I can hear them. He told me he got a new hearing aide, I politely answered, that's great, what kind is it. He replied "4:45".

[@Fireship1]

The Merlin is bad ass! When it finally fired up it scared the hell out of me!

[@kw0s]

I wonder about the radial engine on a motorcycle? Major cooling problem?

[@pstrap1311]

@Terry Melvin but usually the pistons spin with the propeller. Even they didn't there would be much more airflow on an airplane vs a motorcycle.

[@d-ov45magna]

エンジンの音っていいなぁ V多気筒の音はたまらないです

[@skinny-peters-JR.]

whats the weight savings from v6 motor to v8 motor. and weight to horse power ratio from the v8 model?? from the v6 model...mike from minnesota

[@barryakins6236]

The" Chrysler Multibank " is in fact a twin 6/71 Detroit power pack. It is two 6/71 engines connected together at the flywheel housing with individual clutches and a common output shaft. They also made a 24 cylinder (4 engine ) unit. Only one engine has a starter motor. Once started, you can run one one or multiple engines.

[@miguelamaya6246]

I love the huge 1005 CID, that would be AWESOME in a quad car... we would certainly own atleast 4 of them.... don't just REV, the gas, take it out for a spin... show me it runs...

[@Gazzer1966]

Can you not put the text in the same corner as the subscribe button

[@herbertshallcross9775]

Merlins aren't produced today, but many are bought and sold every year. You can buy one if you have a large box full of money. Radials in the videos that went into the motorcycles are mis-identified as rotaries. Simply nothing wrong with radials except for quibbles like oil consumption. A hundred thousand or so have been used with good results in aircraft. Two different classes of engine are identified as rotary engines. Engines in which the cylinders rotate around a fixed crankshaft, a common arrangement in WWI aircraft, and an engine that uses a rotating part as the piston, like the Wankel engine. Wankels can produce good power to weight ratios, but tend to have high fuel consumption and high emissions.

[@tigahshark]

Like a boss, didnt even flinch at 1:21

[@BertGrink]

DAYUMMM those radial engine bikes are quite badass!

[@loopymind]

1:20 hearing protection? Nah I'm good fam

[@Trumplican]

the engine in the bike is a radial. rotary piston engines had a stationary crankshaft and the cylinders and case spun. in planes the prop was bolted right to the crankcase

[@john90430]

The BRM engine on the dyno, starting at 5:48, is not an H-16 but rather a V-12.

[@arodrigues2843]

john90430 AND the description of a H-16 engine, IS TOTALLY WRONG!!! An H-16 engine, has 4 banks of horizontally oposed cylinders, (8 above, and 8 below), connected to a commom crankshaft!!! So many mistakes here, in this video!!!

[@arodrigues2843]

And the BRM engine IS A V-12 !!!

[@john90430]

No sir, the H-16 is not like that. It is, or rather WAS, two flat-eight engines stacked one atop the other - with two separate crankshafts geared together - sharing a common crankcase. See: www.image-share.com/upload/1383/172.jpg Also: 2.bp.blogspot.com/-CXAMOS5outU/URFIcsjAF_I/AAAAAAAAHes/7B7PjFwsX5g/s1600/brmh16rq1.jpg Or any other you may find with a simple Google search.

[@millimetreperfect]

john90430 a very interesting link, thank you

[@gizmo98632]

A Rodrigues if you look close enough. They showed two totally different engines.. the h16 was first followed by the v12. You were right but brm also had that engine in the cars. Though not reliable enough to keep going.

[@rsz90182]

The old man at 1:55 doesn't appear to have the bright orange ear plugs in his waxy holes.

[@justanotherdirtbiker1138]

Ok I'll buy it tomorrow then lol

[@aeb1barfo]

Other Rootes products ( some that I own: SUNBEAM ALPINE, HILLMAN HUSKY, SUNBEAM TIGER. Itis nice to see the Commer engine at workj. We neve5 had then across the pond...

[@justinb954]

the SUNBEAM amazingly became one of the most desirable cars in history. with a ford v8 engine and beefed up suspension it became the lovely Shelby cobra

[@mschiffel1]

The engine shown beginning about 4:27 looks more like a Detroit Diesel combo, rather than a bunch of Mopar flathead sixes coupled together.

[@TheTermigrot]

Rotec R2800 is a Radial engine , not a rotary engine.

[@arodrigues2843]

Senet Wylder SO RIGHT!! I was about to make the same comment you just did!!! It give us the idea, that who make this video, did not know much about engines!!! Also the comment about the Merlin engines, IS NOT quite correct!!! There where a lot of different marks of Merlins, but the Peregrin, the Vulture, and the Griffon, allbeit V-12, were completly different engines!! The great Griffon even rotates in oposite direction of the Merlin!!!

[@john90430]

It would seem that Car News TV is taking a cue from the Mainstream Media, and not doing it's homework or research in the mad rush to get published, broadcast, or posted.

[@WhiteLion2013]

Excactly my thoughts for the rotary dude

[@wmfife1]

THANK you! ...Beat me to it.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Wankel Wankel Wankel! Hey, don't make fun of the way I laugh. :)

[@chrisrichards8640]

How about a Napier Sabre? ... I wish!

[@1snappytom]

there a lot of better engine BMW Mercedes Hispaniola-Seuss fiat

[@reincarnatethylacine3745]

Rotec engines are still available

[@joescha5729]

Very cool, but if you have enough money{cash} you can buy anything.

[@Fireship1]

Joe Scha you bet 👍

[@justinb954]

you can still buy a rolls Royce merlin engine today. it may be attached to a p51 mustang but there the motor everyone with the 51 wants.

[@beeleo]

Hey, Car NOT News TV, all the ppl pointing out your errors in this video know what they're talking about... too bad YOU DON'T.

[@venugopalrajagopal2660]

beeleo v

[@rickwolf3974]

WTF?

[@pauls5745]

who says you can't buy a cammer these days? just go on any hot rod classifieds forum. SOHC it to me!

[@ronnieboucherthecrystalcraftsm]

pds = hey there --- well an original 427 sohc engine rebuilt is = $65,000 so you would need to be a serious car builder for one of them ! single over head cammer = better than a hemi !

[@stefanieoverdorff2477]

Always did like those SOHC Ford engines.They never got the play that I thought that they should have!

[@sadisynn9836]

"Tunnel Port" referred to pushrod cylinder heads, which had a tunnel for the pushrods in the intake port to allow maximum port size. Cammers, having no pushrods, needed no such accommodation. Tunnel port manifolds could not fit or be adapted to Cammer heads.

[@waynewatson8930]

The bike had a radial engine, not a rotary.

[@maartenjansen1687]

dig i like heartily after :‑c

[@WhiteLion2013]

I liked the bikes

[@robertgauthier6057]

WhiteLion2013 the chopped ones ya forsure... ..........

[@richardleonard609]

The BRMH16 is supposed to be two flat head EIGHTS. I count SIX spark plugs on a side and SIX individual exhaust headers. Where are the other four cylinders?

[@richardleonard609]

Oh, and only 560 dislikes? Gimme a break! with all the misinformation on this video it should be pulled!

[@arodrigues2843]

And that guy who made this video, says about the Bugatti parallel bank 16 cyl. that they are "similar in concept tho the H-16 ")!!! First: the "H", does NOT mean "horizontal", but an angine with 4 banks, be it vertical OR horizontal!! The "H", means the FORMAT, THE SHAPE of the cylinder bloks!!! Second : A HRIZONTAL engine, has its cyl. banks laid sideways, (since "horizontal"), be it one bank, or horizontally OPOSED banks of cylinders!! If you want to know something about "H" engines, do read about NAPIER "SABRE" motors!! (The engines of the Hawker "Typhoon", or the Hawker "Tempest", and learn something!!!!

[@SomeoneCommenting]

1:36 that old dude must be completely deaf by now....

[@ianmcass]

That guy with the Merlin is either already deaf or wants to be :D

[@dickfitswell3437]

1:06 wtf is that growing on the left side of the engine. Is that a coolant hose about to explode

[@amitaimedan]

Music to my ears. Better then Mozart's...

[@burroaks7]

hey ummmm that is NOT AN A57 MULTIBANK 4:28 im not sure what that is but it isnt a chysler multibank

[@burroaks7]

seriously.... have you any clue what the fuck your talking about H16 h flat 16 cylinders then you show some brm v12 aside from not knowing shit about shit i guess you cant count either....

[@burroaks7]

the radial vs rotary i see has already been mentioned have you ever googled shit or fact checked your stuff

[@terryhorton9310]

why do we start to see details only to have the picture jump to nothing not enough info on each engine

[@kevinhoffman6592]

I don't think I seen the multi bank Chrysler . Looked more like the twin diesel by GMC

[@tonyschiffiler4816]

That is not a multi bank Chrysler engine , is a double gmc for a Sherman tank

[@bairdswestciv9542]

What they say is an A57 IS NOT! That is a GM 6046 diesel. It's two GM sixes put together. Both engines powered the sherman. Each GM bank had a clutch. The GM could clutch out either of the two banks, making it possible to run on only one. The A57 was all geared together. Drivers couldn't shut down a bank or two. If it ran with a bank dead, that bank was a drain on power. It was vry hard to tune and this is why US forces rarely used the M$A$ (A57 powered) shermans. We sent most to Britain.

[@danginther2795]

A lot of inaccurate information here

[@adhancock79]

Yes! Finally!

[@Biden_is_demented]

I love engines, and these are superb. However i sure would like to see truely diferent stuff. Internal combustion engines have reached their pinacle, we need new exotic stuff. I want to see anti-gravity, or at least simulated anti-gravity. I want nuclear cars, than run forever on a teaspoon of matter. I want that DeLorean from Back to the Future, that runs on banana peals and empty beer cans! :)

[@smudge0356]

@Darth Mucus, Yeah, me too! Sadly, neither you nor I will be alive to witness such things. It's just TOO far into the future. Although, I'm at least planning to argue with Death, when he turns up, an' if I win, I'm gonna live forever! hahaha

[@herbertshallcross9775]

[@smudge0356]

@Herbert Shallcross, Although you are factually correct in what you say, in the overall context and use of the term 'build' or 'built' however, as they were DESIGNED in Great Britain; then what @Mick Dwyer said IS also correct.

I waited and waited and waited: WHERE IS THE NARROW JAGUAR V-12 ENGINE? 60 60 DEGREES AND QUIET, UNLIKE THESE NOISY ENGINES. Light alloy construction very quiet and it passes the wineglass test. The XJ12 had an imterlock so you can't start a running engine. A 400 rpm idle speed. A true 150 MPH CAR .

[@donttreadonusdotgov2086]

THe ford engine... makes me upset 2003 mustangs have a 2v ohc and even hopped up with a supercharger or turbocharger they only make 500 reliably... DID FORD CHEAP OUT ON THESE BLOCKS? Oh btw that is a radial motor not a rotary motor on that plane.

[@velcroman11]

The A57, and THAT'S why Germany LOST THE war too much technology.

[@herbertshallcross9775]

Lots of reasons Germany lost the war, most importantly because the war was a bad idea to begin with. You may have a point in some instances. Germany had tanks that were much better than American Shermans, but they were complicated and difficult to produce, so we could field a lot more Shermans than the far superior Tigers and Panzers. On the other hand, they should have stopped producing the ME109 in 1943 because the basic platform was obsolete. They had better and should have concentrated on building them.

[@smudge0356]

@Herbert Shallcross All good points, especially about the tanks. Technologically, the Panther was more akin to the UK/USA tanks of the mid-'50s/early-60's; fortunately (for us) it was very difficult to produce in large numbers, and with the advanced tech in its early development it just made it quite unreliable. However, the ME109 was kind of Germany's 'Sherman', i.e. far cheaper & easier to build than the more advanced stuff; plus it was very battle-proven, well developed and kept updated.

[@herbertshallcross9775]

The combination of the ME109 with it's narrow-gauge landing gear and hastily trained low-time pilots resulted in about 15% of ME109's being written off in take-off and landing accidents. The updated models were only effective against bombers, the primary mission of the Luftwaffe after the bombing campaign against German industries got going if there was no fighter cover. That they were not systematically replaced was a blunder, and a gift to the Allied forces.
