Run Away Diesel Engine with RPM limiter removed | Will it Explode?

Today we are going to test will old 2-stroke diesel engine explode when you get it on run away condition with rpm limiter removed. Thanks for Koneistus Ahlo for letting us film this funny experiment www.koneistusalho.fi/ Don't try this at home!

[@Beyondthepress]

Thanks to Koneistus Alho for letting us film their diesel engine mayhem! As said on the video we order quite much smaller parts and larger patches from them that we don't have suitable machines for on our own workshop and I can strongly recommend them. Check their machines and services from their websites if you need high quality machining in Tampere area www.koneistusalho.fi/ And for people that worry that it was some really rare historic engine, no need to worry these are super common and not rare in Finland and they still have a LOT of nicer engines like this to play with.

Another fun way to destroy a diesel engine is to dump a halon fire-extinguisher into the intake. Halon will break down under the compression, and the gasses it makes expand quite a lot...drives the engine like super-charged fuel! Not only that, the halogens it makes are fairly toxic and very corrosive to metals. My brother was designing 'packaged power' units; a shipping container with generator set, controls and fuel tanks for providing power where needed. The things needed fire suppression, and nobody knew at the time that halon and diesel is a bad mix. They had a big demonstration test of the fire control system; lost a very expensive brand new engine. In front of customers!

[@jannejohansson3383]

That shitty Halon is banned some 30 years ago, but wery nice to know that thing! CO2 is better all ways, but I think some big corporation invented that shitty halogen and they just "must sell it".

I don't understant why CO2 is not used? You can't inhalate air what contains Freon's, as same thing than carbon dioxide. Does Freon's spread better way? I mean that CO2 is heavier than air..
