Old RADIAL ENGINES Cold Starting Up and Loud Sound 5

[@CarsandEngines]

Do you like these RADIAL ENGINES ? :)

[@Slaktrax]

Radia engines sound great, but in fact all large capacity engines do. Thanks for the upload 🙂

[@gmanchurch]

Absolutely Love those radial engines! I worked as a licensed aircraft mechanic for over thirty years and got to work on several of these magnificent engines. They were very reliable if maintained correctly and were true works of art…….

[@scotthultin7769]

If you have deep pockets friends and investors I'd like to see you take that one that was on the beginning of the video and makeup Halloween tractor out of it so awesome that would be🎉😮

[@claiborneeastjr4129]

I would love to hear them in person - up close and personal! They are awesome even on video. Nothing like the sound of a big, radial engine.

[@davidwiley3440]

I was a mech in tha Nav.....ADR3 worked on R1820 9Cyl radial sounded lot like a big block Chev at idle with a big cam....115/145 Av gas had distinct odor too.....

[@Wayoutthere]

They are always so cranky and angry to start up, love it.

[@mikearakelian6368]

Not if you read the manual and followed correct proceedurs...

[@Gator-357]

Although not a radial engine, this brings back memories from my childhood of my grandfather's airboat which had a war surplus Allison V12 installed. It was loud and fast nd a lot of fun

[@lw6001]

If my great grandfather was alive today? He would say: it was like the sound of victory when you would hear the sound of the engines roaring in all its glory!

[@NealB123]

Love the sound of the big radials. They have a throatier, meaner sound than inline engines.

[@clearcreek69]

They're like a big block engine for aircraft

[@24934637]

Rotary and Radial engines are in my opinion, the most esthetically pleasing visually and audibly, absolutely stunning pieces of machinery, and a huge credit to the designers, builders and those who maintain them! The smell is something special too :D Haha, yep, I'm a perverted engine sniffer.....

[@frankirvine316]

I agree there’s nothing like the sound of a big radial on start up,cough,cough,splutter splutter 😅

[@Azzzej42]

Some of these sound a bit “grumpy” when first starting

[@GARLENILSON1]

It's a lot of show to see the departure of the radial engines!!

[@pixurguy4915]

Every time we started the Pratt and Whitney R2800 on the Convair the field went IFR.

[@637man3]

The R-975 C1 was used in a bunch of tanks, both light and medium, during WWII. The Stuarts and Shermans were the biggest consumers, iirc, though the M4 used a number of engines throughout different variants. Great vid, the sound of these chuffing away is wonderful.

[@rand49er]

Distinctive sound of radial is wonderful. Don't know why a couple of the guys in here don't wear ear protection. Not smart.

[@jseverett]

Love those RADIALS! 👌

[@fuzzy-daddy83]

You have the description of the Hercules on the video of the R-975, other than that, great vid👍

[@KensGarage1]

What a fun video. I enjoyed watching and listening to these beasts start up and run.

[@Mk-qb2ny]

That R-4360 tho...!

[@jessdigs]

Right? 8 of those babies on the spruce goose

[@ToniHiltunen1980]

Clear Prop!!

[@dreamdiction]

4:11 I've always wondered they made those four-blade wood propellers? How did they join the four blades at the hub?

[@CaliforniaFly]

I always thought that these engines needed at least a club prop to run, like a flywheel. Looks like I'm way wrong. I can't see them running for long without some air cooling though. Nice video!

[@aaaht3810]

You took my comment. I am no authority but I've heard these engines should not be run without a prop or partial prop. What gives?

[@iangoss7841]

No they will all have a shrouded cooling fan I think, which not always visible

[@nedflanders7352]

I can't imagine the amount of torque required to turn some of these big radials over.

[@pilotmiami1]

Bravo.thenks

[@PaullWheatcroft-hr8kb]

I like this things keep them coming please

[@JohnKorvell]

some people want "Taps" or "Amazing Grace" played at their funeral. I just want a the sound of a big radial at idle.

[@tgmccoy1556]

You don't start a Radial you wake up.

[@JohnPennock-d3y]

Wow, a bit rough at first! John P.

[@Dannysoutherner]

That Bristol or Continental sounds so clean and smooth. Not sure which it is - label says one thing, text says another.

[@mwnci1000]

I'm sure it's the continental, it's got rocker covers. The Bristol does not.

[@Dannysoutherner]

@@mwnci1000 I heard him say something about sleeve valves. I'm not sure how they work.

[@icecreamsandwichiify]

So awesome....

[@andrewproulx1205]

the hercules sounds like the intro to cowboys from hell

[@CarsandEngines]

Where are you from guys ?

[@gmanchurch]

Northeast Arkansas,USA…..

[@THOMMGB]

Southern California.

[@jakerazmataz852]

3:25 Where is the other row of cylinders? I only see one.

[@busterdee8228]

Unlikely a Hercules. Sleeve valve engines don't have rocker boxes.

[@boberm567]

Soviet Ash 62 - Licensed or not , copy of Wright 1820 adapted to the capabilities of the Russian industry

[@UQRXD]

Just what I always wanted a big engine that never goes any place..........

[@Sailor914]

It is just wrong to run these engines with out some kind of propeller for airflow and cooling.

[@performancecyclespecialtie6104]

Don't run long enough to cause damage

[@robertdees2150]

Also a liberal might've complained.

[@clausmadsen6754]

@@performancecyclespecialtie6104 in addition to providing cooling I’m sure the prop is also meant to serve flywheel role

[@clausmadsen6754]

3:45 don’t think that’s an aero engine … that’s a tank engine from a Sherman tank

[@iangoss7841]

There's a built in fan if you look closely. Much safer than an open propellor

[@anonymously241]

Diesel engine?

[@DontEatTheAnimals]

The blokes starting them up ... they really take care of their personal grooming, hey ?

[@inzana2]

3.23 That doesn't look anything like a Hercules, it only has one row and has poppet valves not sleeve valves

[@robinfryer479]

This engine is a single row, poppet valve radial. The HERCULES is an English TWO row, SLEEVE valve radial. The ones I’ve seen, don’t look like this.

[@denismatveev9262]

There is Gretta? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@robertdees2150]

It would be interesting to see if an engineer could duplicate these engines today.

We should've listened to Patton n 1945 about communist USSR, and MacArthur n 1951 about communist China. They may not b defeatable now.

I hope a tree-hugger sees this vid and decides to just call it quits on life.

[@CaliforniaFly]

Yeah, they need to go hug a propeller.

[@hugolafhugolaf]

@@CaliforniaFly LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@best_pilot1002]

Nice engines, but a terrible behaviour of these film makers to use these short exposure times !
