Big Engines Starting Up

[@connerallen642]

For anyone who's had to tear down and rebuild an engine, hearing it firing up again is possibly one of the world most beautiful sounds

[@prodbytarantino]

How y’all do it is incredible. So much intricate detail you HAVE to remember and get exactly right. I feel like you gotta be at least a little smarter than the average tbh. Like that’s a lot of wiring you gotta remember. And making sure everything is perfect so the engine runs and stays that way. My engine blew out last summer and had to take it in two different times before dude got everything done right in the new one to make the car run. Shit was crazy to watch. I got mad respect for the car community fr. I just do basic maintenance like oil changes and tire rotation on my own car and even that takes a lot out of me 💀

[@smoadia85]

For everyone asking on the huge engine at 9:08, googling the model number shows that it's a MAN B&W DM884WS-150, housed in Diesel House museum in Copenhagen, Denmark. Wikipedia " The largest of the engines, which was built in 1932 and remained the world's largest for more than 30 years, stands 12.5 meters tall and 24.5 meters wide and weighs 1,400 tons. It produces 22,500 HP and supplied Copenhagen with electricity. It remained in use during peak demand until the 1970s. During World War II a resistance group consisting of workers at the power station used the engine for hiding weapons. It is started up the first and third Sunday every month at 11 am and runs for 5 to 10 minutes."

[@wilsjane]

Have you ever worked on engines similar to 9:09 The camshaft is the best part. It is about the size of a Ford fiesta camshaft. The square shaped cams trigger hall switches that in turn open and release pressure to the hydraulic rams above each valve. Starting the engine using compressed air to push one piston down is also great fun. If it fails to start, it takes about 15 minutes to crank the piston back to 5 degrees ATDC. By that time, the air tanks are full enough to have a second attempt to start the engine. Needless to say, these engines are 2 stoke and run on heavy diesel that is almost solid at room temperature.

Man once an engine gets so big that letting off the clutch makes it drive forward at 20 mph if you don't brake, I get the same goosebumps that the thought of being stranded out in the ocean gives me. The sheer power behind it is terrifying.

It's amazing how these engines are still firing up probably just as the first day it came out of the factory. Apparently the engineers of yesteryear knew what they were doing. Impressive engineering. American and British engineering brought ww2 to an end in the European theater.

[@iamnoone9498]

I think steam engines should’ve been included with horsepower far beyond a lot of these engines. But also omitted was the 109,000 ho Diesel engine of the Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C. The engine weighs 2,300 tons and stands 44 feet high and extends some 90 feet. This was in 2016 so by now it could have been surpassed.

[@davidjames1063]

Wow.

[@SpencerHHO]

Peak power for that engine is at 104RPM it has pneumatically operated valves so no camshaft, timing gears etc and is rated for 84MW power or 84 000KW or 114000 HP. It runs so smooth and slow though that I doubt it would make much noise. Normal operating speeds are less than 100rpm and it can idle at like 4RPM....

[@butterphli3z]

Nuclear powered steam engines are and will forever be the most powerful and most reliable engines humans will ever build until we go outside of the box with our limitations in science and stop the gate keeping.

Listening to all the engines and then the RR Merlin... even if the sound was turned down it sounded so sweet. I live where the occasional Spitfire still flies overhead and even though far too young to know what it was like in battle it fills my heart with pride and my eyes with respectful tears.
