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.

That pulsing noise at 2:50 triggered my fight or flight for some reason.

[@biggerchris20]

Man the combustion engine is literally a work of art. It just delights the senses. I'm glad I lived though this era of history. Au revoir old friend, you will be sorely missed........

[@user-zx1ir7jt4c]

Nahhh... It will be around a long time. Transfer truck will not go electric any time soon!

[@biggerchris20]

@@user-zx1ir7jt4c I felt that way before I saw Telsa's truck hauling serious ass! They're going to work out that charging issue. I think in the next 15 years, our roads will look a lot different. Especially with Telsa's $19,000 car, death of the combustion engine, evolution........

[@TheBanjoShowOfficial]

Legend has it the old man reacted a whole hour later to the start of the engine

[@Droepram]

The one at 2:46 is the most epic for me, because of the slow, heartbeat-like start.

[@blackcitadel37]

...then the dude accelerate it a little and it puts on some respect.

[@danthetrainman5656]

Jefferson Sales he didnt accelerate it thats how a SD40 starts up. it just revs up by itself

[@bugatti_bolide3322]

3:01 when you hear a creepy noise or something touches your foot in bed XD

[@CapNHector231]

I remember some gear head asking what kind of engine we had in our locomotive. I told him it was a 12 cylinder EMD 645. He asked how big it was, so I told him that the 645 indicated a displacement of 645 cubic inches. He smirked and and said that’s not much more than his pickup truck. I smirked back and said “no no, that’s the displacement for *each* cylinder.

[@identitymatrix]

So basically what I saw what happened: The pistons are pushed and given a rythm with the help of an electrically powered motor moving the crankshaft so the injection of fuel and ignition can start. If somethings wrong, please correct me. Im only 15 and relatively stupid so I dont know very much about it. 😂

[@harmonicresonanceproject]

Thanks algo for reminding me of this classic set of videos! AWESOME!

[@luccacarmel9635]

9:09 what yall came for

[@rndmzr153]

Is that what powers London in mortal engines

[@hugoattman3186]

Me: So what engine you running? That guy: A 100L v8

[@rndmzr153]

I desperately want someone to attach this to a Honda Civic

[@johanlnning2275]

@nighf its not a v8 tho

[@joshjosh5655]

Yelo 153 how will it hold the weight dumb ass

[@bfitz567]

as a 44 year old Canadian that's worked around big horse power diesel engines all his adult life.. this honestly and truly gives me a little tingle in my no no spot.... :)

[@SB12308]

What.... what the crap....

[@deadbrian9247]

What the fuck?

[@TheDarkToes]

Is it just me or is it stereotypical for a Canadian to say no no spot like a 3 year old?

[@semiedgv]

ayy bruh the fuck

[@ohverrflod]

tf

[@stephensmith8812]

I don't see how that bug is street legal with that big ass blade on the back

[@PlittHD]

I don't think a health and safety officer has approved that

[@Bolt99K]

Stephen Smith who cares if its legal, its so awesome that it deserves to be on the road.

[@stephensmith8812]

Kiante Bolt it might help out with natural selection.

[@tolfiboyProduction]

ahahhah

[@MrOtis909]

Stephen Smith, It isn't street legal. It stays parked at the Harley Davidson rental joint in St Helena California year round.

[@prestonburton8504]

my God, this is awesome - to think that probably in 100 years, there will be little actual engines (museums/collectors) is so sad. They will either be videos or memories.

[@Gojira_uz]

That Detroit Diesel sounds awesome!

[@stfinney1]

1:28 what on earth you put a plane engine in a beetle

[@marklowe7431]

Check out Rod Hadfield. V12 merlin in a chev.

[@pancakeonmefacep4276]

A lot of people use old VW 1300/1600 CC engines to make small flyable aircraft. But I don’t think that guy read the the correct manual. Lololol!

[@quentinf5994]

Plus, a star engine for a car... Rip the bottom pistons

[@rubina381]

You gots to be kidding me

[@garyquail2347]

It looks like Herbies getting a new engine.

[@nixcc1628]

9:08 Seen that engine start in person, all I can say is that it's impressive

[@danishviking259]

Its really a nice experience.

[@mtflieutenant7693]

I dont think poeple know how much this means to me being a motorhead..it's like watching your baby..no..your dad waking up (giving how these engines are bigger than me haha)....im so proud and happy right now.

[@goodlookinouthomie1757]

So I'm sitting here doing my tax return and next thing I know I'm watching videos of engines starting.... How did I get here?

[@miniatureenginesandmore9906]

A vw bug powered by a radial now I’ve seen everything Edit:didn’t realize how many likes I got thanks

[@ronaldmorrison6013]

Some stupid millennial who's walking and looking down at their phone would walk right to the back of that thing.

[@MIRACLECHEEZ]

the vw beetle looks cool, but a rear end fender bender would make the other car into a smoothie

[@richardgrant7055]

A remarkable LACK of sensible safety precautions ! (I have 55 years in Engineering ).

[@KGOY06]

Good for you

[@beenusirimanne]

I love Rolls-Royce Merlin engines! :D they just sound awesome and that beast literally exploded into life 😂

[@miniatureenginesandmore9906]

Beenu Sirimanne yes same here

[@116Patrick]

5:50 I love that extinguisher standing there, ready for action :D

[@inactive67]

The gentlemen not even flinching when the RR Merlin barked to life.

[@huyhuy3837]

I have been listening to Mechanicus OST lately, and the Machine Spirit now recommends me this. Praise the Omnissiah!

[@higormeisterlol]

8:29 the infamous spitfire! The german killer waking up to do its job! The piston sequence showed by the exaust pipes is absolutely breathtaking. My god, this clip sent chivers down my spine!

[@TheMysteriousUnknow]

5:55 this engine looks like a frog lmao

[@stephensmith8812]

7:35 let's leave these batteries right below the flame spitting exhaust.

[@regdunlop5393]

Smart, right?

[@brysonwojtasek4372]

Lol dead rn

[@CorekBleedingHollow]

God damn, you would lose your hearing instantly near some of these engines

[@GadgBoy313]

[@ginnymiller2448]

IKR... What was it for, an ocean liner? :D

[@Hothenrik]

2:11--OLD DUDE DID NOT FLINCH!!!😱

[@Guitcad1]

[@ViveSemelBeneVivere]

Onlooker: What's wrong? Engineer: Piston broke. Onlooker: Yeah, me too.

[@yemarican]

2:09 ... this man had no reaction whatsoever !!

[@rodrigofilho1996]

He's either deaf or as badass as one can get.

[@CorePathway]

He been starting those since 1940

[@theidiotwithanissanonhispr9404]

2:09 that old man has balls of freaking tank armor
