Most excellent collection and presentation. Thank you for your time and effort sharing and showing these beauties !!! Peace.

[@hughacosta1090]

I see "art" more than engines. Thanks for sharing such unique engines with us.

[@buckylaine]

That Saito looks like a work of art, some really nice machining.

[@57dogsbody]

Pure Gold. Thanks for this video.

[@westsideflyer7559]

Nice collection! Designers certainly have a multitude of ideas.

Fantastic collection, they are really rare engines, I like the vintage Delmo.

[@valentejunior]

Congrats! Nice video, nice engines.

[@TDIMAXDIESEL]

wow, thats realy cool, congratulations for your collection

[@Titanis2000]

Very cool thank you for sharing

[@marcroche2269]

Great collection!

[@stagefright13]

Very Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

[@BigRoj]

That Dolphin engine bought back memories! It was featured in a 70s RipMax catalogue, around the same time as the Taplin Twin, another interesting marine motor along with the 15cc Gannet 4 stroke petrol job. The screw on the Dolphin never really looked right!

[@teleosus1]

Thanks, nice collection

[@niftyrmz4506]

wow I really enjoyed this video very interesting thanks for uploading it

[@Wyowanderer]

Lovely engine collection.

[@barreypickersgill5075]

Wyowanderer777

[@paulellis7533]

Loved it. Engine #3 shows the influence of Kevin Lindsey, whom I met when he worked for ED as consultant.

[@car6on14]

great vid, thanks for sharing, really like #2

[@Zomby1Woof]

That was quite an interesting collection of oddball engines. Well, somebody else already mentioned the OS Wankel.

[@splatspam]

Very nice video. Thanks for sharing.

[@kennethconnors7532]

really interesting all these older designs

[@5naxalotl]

these are stunning

[@pauls5745]

I love the last 4! the French blocky one also. haha it didn't look like an engine at all

[@gravedigr12]

I enjoyed this very much thank you

[@nivesknight]

I love this little engines!

[@SuperStuffo]

Loves that REA GP 2.5cc, remind me of the "Source des inventions" in Paris!

[@brando555555]

Quite the collection :)

[@todayintheshopbanksy5904]

Great collection, I have an OS 120 SP, which has the roots blower on the back.

[@scottfirman]

very nice collection of RC motors. They are still around,just try to find them. most ended up in the trash box or rusted away in a shed fallen down out back. many child hood dreams gone by the wayside,when boys turned to men,they left these engines go to the wayside. still some to be found,even here in the states.

[@paulspomer16]

start em all up!

[@Jim-ie6uf]

Nice motors.

[@AAR2VZ]

There's never a dull moment. Wherever you turn your head something else is happening. At least Rosie waited for some decent weather..

[@bleadonken]

Lovely selection of engines - any chance of making a "My Next 10" model aero engines - still some weird ones out there - Aero 35 with parallel cylinder and RCV120 rotary valve engines spring to mind, and weren't there some with cylinder in-line with the propshaft and bevel gearing to link the two?

[@DatBlueHusky]

amazing

[@ichabodbryant7498]

I have an old HB that engine ROCKED

[@pabloiervolino2265]

Impresionantes!!!!!!!!

[@williamcharles9480]

Very nice collection that you have. I'm not sure if I had mentioned before on your channel that I've got several antique, pre-WWII engines myself. A Morton M-5 5 cylinder radial that drives a 14" prop, an ELF opposed 2 cylinder, and a Super Cyclone, new still in the box with an extra high compression cylinder head. There's also my single cylinder Denny-Mite that was from a company owned by an old actor named Reginald Denny. I have a new Hiller tether car made by the same company that later made helicopters, (the full sized ones) and a Dooling Brothers tether car that's slightly used. All of the engines are spark plug ignition and American made. I have more obscure engines, also. I just don't remember all that I have at the moment. I've got the paper work for the Morton M-5 and the Hiller. The airplane engines were originally meant for free-flight aircraft in which an adjustable plunger type timer would control the length of time that the ignition would activate. The Morton engines were later bought out by the Mallory Battery Co., which obviously changed the engine's name to a Mallory M-5. Most likely this event happened after the war. The Morton was actually a scaled down version of the full size engine that the company produced. The owner was a model airplane fan and had the scaled down version made. It was offered originally as a kit or completely assembled. The kit version was later dropped and after the war started, I'm not sure if production continued or not. I enjoyed your video. You've got some real strange and interesting pieces.

[@shamim0096]

Nice engine

[@ddonovan222]

When it comes to innovation and design the French copy no one and no one copies the French. Liked seeing your video and would love to hear your motors running.

[@valic000]

Really fantastic! I enjoyed it much.I haver already at least a year or so a turning tabel like this on my "to do list"...but still must make it....and the engines themself are really great..I agree with Jose...the Delmo is insane..never hear about it. Thanks for share them al.I have also some watercooled jackets and flywheels...let me know,if you look for something! Peter

[@rapmoz]

+valic000 Many thanks Peter you own also some diesel engines that make me dream when i see your videos! You can get a solar rotating display stand table on eBay.UK for £ 4 shipping included: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Solar-Powered-Rotating-Jewelry-Bracelet-Display-Stand-Turntable-Plate-Black-/390896950810?hash=item5b03461e1a. You could also make it yourself, motorizing it with a Mills .75 and a good reduction unit :) !

[@valic000]

+valic000 Oh,many thanks for link...just order! :-) I wish to have moore time,as I have so many great old engines to show on my channel...But so littel time.The engines from my channel is only a smal section so far...Now I rebuild a Frog 500 for somebody on youtube...so a new release soon...Keep them running!! Great hobby...with endless plessure and meat a lot great peopel here on the tube. Many regards, Peter

[@JHV166]

Did you restore these engines or are they sales samples?

[@douro20]

I guess Delmo wanted to be the first (and only) to make a dual-fuel model engine.

[@spiritheli]

Top engines!

[@douro20]

Cooling the HB 61 like that wasn't really a bad idea...

[@jesselink9546]

I very like your collection! I know you probably want to rotary in there huh?

[@jesselink9546]

liked to enjoy later, and I barely ever like videos! oh and just a heads up yellow letters are hard to read on white back ground, especially while enjoy the engines. thanks for sharing though.

[@markpanganiban2422]

where i can buy these

[@deusexaethera]

That's a very unique collection. Interesting that you don't have an OS 49-PI Wankel engine.

[@ChadKovac]

That sea fury is in the style of a "sail drive"

[@leemilica]

You have these beasts and I am sitting here with a tiny .28 nitro engine.

[@dougankrum3328]

Evert school day from 1952-1957, I walked right by the COX engine company, in Santa Ana.....they didn't make anything for this video, mostly more affordable 'starter'. kits for us School kids...I recall the glow-plug .049 was about $3.50.......

[@kimmer6]

I had a Pagco copter with .09 engine made in Pasadena? My dad took me there and they machined a new cylinder head while we watched. I had dozens of Cox and WenMac .049's, even some kind of huge spark Cyclone engine made in the 30's that ran well. I gave them all to the mailman's son when I got interested in dirt bikes. Sorry I didn't keep them. But I still have the Cox .010, .020, Fox 60, and a big OS 108, and some Russian diesels. They have not run in 25 years....

[@billclark5943]

YS out of Japan produces a spark ignition engine now the burns nitro/ethanol/oil (glow fuel) intended for F3A RC pattern planes

[@__WJK__]

Does anyone still produce a Diesel RC engine option or add on kit?

[@leebarnes655]

Davis Diesel Development

[@alfredwilson274]

I've got an engine which i found on a post rusting with a prop, so i took it home and painted it. But i cannot find what type it is to fix it! Please help

[@educabeludoakspetechota]

que bom saberem que existem coisa ótima

[@johnsmith-on4bj]

Some great engines, thanks for posting. number 9 is very interesting. It featured the truly AWFUL dynamix carb, the second worst carb of all time after the Perry.

[@croyce7699]

I noticed your background was a sheet or cloth of some sort. I've heard that using a bathtub is a good white background for this purpose :)

[@1redneckfish]

I had a McCoy 29 50 years ago. it was a real screamer. I would like to know if you have one to show on a video.

[@robot797]

could you pleas show us numer 2 running it is just the coolest engine ever

[@DerKrawallkeks]

***** Number 2 and number 1, but both, Diesel and glow!;)

[@higgydufrane]

The fan cooled engine, Perry Carburetor.

[@chuckbear1961]

#5 has the blower housing for cooling just like a lawn mower engine. Those others not diesel because the fuel isn`t injected in the top of the piston and are called compression ignition or crank case air & fuel scavange hot head engines

[@creeperdoomman3255]

Where do you get them?

[@paulinfrance5]

I had The HB 'stam' engine in a Graupner Helicopter,,

[@profblindserv]

#5. Helis use the same thing now.

[@vg5versace814]

Are there any engines for rc cars that can be found in my house?

[@markwinberry8095]

How about you tell us.

[@robot797]

lol that french engine is wicket

[@jimzeleny7213]

Thank you for "not" including some annoying music.

[@rodneybrand8521]

You have no Cox engines ???

[@sriharivaila7276]

where can i buy it . jesus

[@carmelpule6954]

At 7:01 it is said that the Archimedes screw is an anti cavitation propeller. Well It would improve greatly if the leading edge is not as it is somewhat like a straight radiating radius where the tip will still cause a vortex as the high pressure side will rotate into the low pressure side of the helix. I would have thought that an ever increasing radius at the leading edge would cause a Delta effect and the escapement of the high pressure side will be retarded as is done in planes with delta wings. It would be debatable if this design is any better than a well designed propeller with a good leading and trailing edge which I feel should be both raked back as any wing or any fin on a bird or a fish. This raking back of both the leading and trailing edge was introduced in planes only in the 50s as before the tips of a plane in my opinion went uncared for. I personally do not like the wing tips of the Cub nor the Spitfire as the trailing edge at the wing tips is not raked back and in fact the spitfire had its wings chopped of for a better tip. The Mustang did better and then later came the wing design ith both the trailing and leading edge at the tip raked back..........as design that nature found out thousands of years ago and which I always incorporated in my designs of sea propellers .

[@Raffi-mi4ti]

Harganya berapa

[@ikegel1923]

you really need to contrast that text against the background, if youre going to make people read a video it should at least be readable

[@billallemang8064]

Your HP red head is actually a helicopter engine. Bill

[@rapmoz]

+Bill Allemang Hi Bill, just check the video at 5:02, the HB 61 stamo "red head" has been made in two different versions: this one, "boat and car" with a flywheel as stated on its box and another helicopter version with a clutch. Chris

[@spiritheli]

+Bill Allemang No! HP engines from Austria, the HB (Helmut Bernhard) is a engine from germany! Build for Graupner!

[@bobelaviador]

what about wankel

[@rapmoz]

You're right, the OS Wankel is a strange engine but it's well known from the model engine lovers. I have prefered to highlight some less known engines.

[@brrebrresen1367]

try get hold of an David-Andersen rc-engine. not very strange build-vice but quite "less known". mostly made for aircraft's but there was some few made for boat use. extremely solid things designed with the number 1 reason not to break when the aircraft went nose first in the ground. the old guy still makes engines for private use though the company have shut down long time ago and the first engine came out in 1950

[@johnkelinske1449]

David-Andersens are extremely well made engines.

[@jamessurber853]

Delphin, not dolphin. FYI

[@-danR]

It was a pun remember the previous engines

[@KN-ko8ez]

It would have been a better video had you at least started them up. These were intended to be ran, not put on static display.

[@TamNguyen-vo6qd]

Co ban nay hog

[@russ117044]

We can't see them running? No sub...

[@nadronnocojr]

They are all diesel, they have no ignition system they use glow plugs which is same as diesel these are all diesels not the fuel you use

[@bleadonken]

Stuff and nonsense! In model engines the term "diesel" is applied to compression ignition engines running on an ether-based fuel - these are the ones in the video with a small tee- or angle-handled screw thread in the cylinder head. Glow plugs (not preheater plugs as in full-size diesel practice) have a platinum wire element which keeps glowing after the starting voltage is removed due to catalytic action with the alcohol-based fuel, usually methanol plus a varying amount of nitromethane. Sparkies run on petrol (gasoline) and need a high tension electrical system to produce a spark for ignition - the ones with a visible insulator on the plug

[@dougankrum3328]

yeah....good comment....'Glow-plugs' are not true diesels....

[@sylumgand]

I know of no diesels that can start without glow plugs. So point out those that can please, so we know which are "true diesels".

[@bleadonken]

Model "diesels" aren't, strictly speaking, diesel engines, but compression ignition engines. Instead of using a pre-heater gloplug they have about 30% ether in their fuel which gives it a very low self-ignition point. Also the fuel isn't injected directly into the combustion chamber, but pre-mixed with air in a very simple tube and spray jet carburettor. They are the ones with a screw thread coming out of the cylinder head. This is used to adjust a moveable cylinder head called a contra-piston to vary the engine's compression ratio. Good explanation of them in Wikipedia here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbureted_compression_ignition_model_engine
