Henry Ford's First Engine

Replica of Henry Fords first 1893 ' Kitchen Sink ' engine. Built by the students of Penn state, and being run at the Henry Ford Museum / Greenfield Village during the Old Car Festival 2014

Modern mechanics are so poetic to me. The epitome of our ability to tinker as a species. From the Stirling, to the hermetic compressor and internal combustion engine all the way up to rocket turbines and nuclear reactors. Thinking about this stuff makes me teary eyed. It's marvelous to watch it all work as designed and make life easier for all of us. It's non fiction wizardry.

[@paulmanson253]

If my memory is correct,the 1981 Ford Escort was the first Ford with an onboard computer. I would be very surprised indeed if even one of those nightmares was still functional. In actual fact,this 1893 was better engineered. They put B 24 bombers together, no problem. Millions of Jeeps. Lots of other stuff. NASCAR winners. But no,in the new age,they could not even pour piss out of a boot. Nice to see they returned to below the original engineering standard.

[@joemiller5110]

The replica Henry Ford motor I built did not start as easily as your did. I did not install the fine screen mesh in the mixer. I should try installing a screen to see if that would aid in the starting. Any comments? Thanks

The "Benz Motorwagen" engine was build almost 10 years ( 1885) before Fords "Kitchen sink" and was much, much more advanced.

Navigator first engine was Etienne lenoire with France

[@navigator_071]

@@iriscasam5975 Yes it is, the Belgian-France inventor made his engine, but since it have not compression cycle, I am not sure if Lenoir engine can be compared with Benz one. However, I do not claim that the Benz engine was the first one.

[@scenicdepictionsofchicagolife]

Yes... But no one was claiming Henry Ford invented the piston engine .... Not by a long shot. Henry Ford is credited with popularizing and fine tuning assembly line production and this leading to the first truly affordable mass market automobile - at least in the US. I am not sure about the rest of the world.

[@jozsefienciu2325]

Hi. Can you make a video with what parts you need to make this machine and the assembly thanks.

[@twistedyogert]

Since there is no carburetor, how does the air mix with fuel?

[@OakwoodMachineWorks]

I was just wondering that myself!

[@stevemiller6766]

They used a drip oiler and removed the glass sight glass so the air is sucked in around where the fuel is dripping.. Had to look several times to figure it out.

[@johnhili8664]

Steve you are right:-))

[@twistedyogert]

Is there also a single valve? I'm guessing that the single valve is an intake and an exhaust valve.

[@brucerogermorgan2388]

A drip oiler has been modified to work as a crude surface carburetor.

[@cometdude6789]

how does the intake valve open and close? I see the bar to the exhaust valve but i dont see an intake one

[@brucerogermorgan2388]

Yes, it was common in the early days to use what was called an "automatic" inlet valve with a very light spring. When the piston descended on the intake stroke the pressure in the cylinder was lower than atmospheric pressure and that pushed the inlet valve open. It worked but was very inefficient and the engine would run only at low speeds. As technology evolved they found it was necessary to operate the inlet valve from the camshaft in the same way the same as the exhaust valve to get higher engine speed.

[@mackholman8042]

A replica should be exact or close. Which you have neither. First of all the original did not have flat flywheel. The shaft did not protrude out past the flywheel. The original did not have 2 camshaft. The original did not have exhaust pipe. The pipe T fitting is new style not old style. The original did not have spark plug. The original did not have square brass bar supports for exhaust push rod. The original did not sit on wooden box. It set on a flat single board.

[@brettrowland7221]

my neighbor has one of those engines

[@imranazimviolinist]

brett rowland wow

[@PhilArttz]

cool

[@christopherd2100]

Does it happen to be mounted on a Harley Davidson? Tech seems about right.

[@khadijagwen]

So the intake valve is simply a check valve. I can see how the air would mix with the gas below the gas glass. The exhaust valve is a little trickier.

[@airsight2753]

Just wondering what is the compression ratio of this engine? I guess it has low compression ratio since the valves are mounted at the side of cylinder.

[@airsight2753]

@Mike L thats very low compression ratio, im amazed that it works

With all due respect that is not a replica of Ford's first engine (kitchen sink engine) it is totally different there was only one camshaft that engine is fitted with a modern camshaft and the crankshaft had no counterbalance weight and the conrod was made of square section not round bar, so were is the replica?????? A replica should be a photocopy of the original:-))

[@alanstrong3295]

Your voice was not that audible. Too much background noise. Probably not easy to conquer such obstacles.

[@quillmaurer6563]

Could have been resolved, at least to some degree, with a lapel mic, but that would only be if the camera used to film this (these days probably a phone) is compatible with such, and someone having one on hand - more of a professional filmmaking crew thing. I thus don't blame them for not having that.
