We had the car for 13y, it did 300k and the engine never has any issues. When it was really cold, we used to turn it on to let it run before we left. I sat in the car on the passenger’s seat and just enjoyed the sound. And feel. The car was fully specced out. A 100.000€ highway munching machine. With a black buffalo leather interior. And double glass. I sat there, in the dark, only illuminated by the car’s orange lighting from the dash and the buttons. A small kid in a big leather seat. Listening to the soft rumble of the low-revving straight six that was warming up. I loved the orange lights. Very soft on the eyes in darkness. And it looked very impressive! But it pulled like a beast when it had to. 450Nm of torque. Not bad for such a small vehicle. It even made so much torque that it tore the gearbox to shreds. A known problem with BMW’s of that age. The auto-box could not cope with the torque... big design flaw, but it was the only one.

Small engines of today last far longer than anything that was produced 80 years ago. Nowadays, a full-size pickup with 400,000 miles on it and no major repairs is something you can see every day. 80 years ago, if a car reached 100,000 miles, it meant there had been numerous valve jobs performed along the way!

📢 Subtitle with translation is available. These are the steps performed to start the engine: 0:08 - The young machine operator begins to pre-lubricate the engine. 0:32 - After reaching 2 bar oil pressure, the older machine operator turns the engine manually. 1:44 - The engine is turned by compressed air with cylinder taps opened to blow out water or oil, if present. The engine is still being pre-lubricated. 1:57 - The machine operator closes the cylinder taps. 2:14 - Water pump switched on (control cabinet in the background). 2:16 - Fuel valve opened. 2:18 - Injection pumps on filling: Probably, this means that the injection pumps are set to maximum as a basic setting (big wheel). The final fuel amount is set by the governer (small wheel in the background). 2:21 - Preheating 2:30 - Glowplugs are glowing. 2:34 - Engine start by compressed air. 2:55 - The machine operator checks the combustion by opening the cylinder taps shortly. 3:13 - Finally, he raises the RPM by adjusting the governor.

[@screener545]

"100% volumetric efficiency " completely wrong use of the words. This engine MAYBE has a 15-30% volumetric efficiency at peak torque rpm; its hideous. The only way to reach or surpass 100% is to use forced induction or a blower at 0.000001psi. As it was running there it probably had a volumetric efficiency of about 1% maybe but thats a hopeful estimate. Thanks for the startup procedure explanation, was researching for it and found nothing. I knew the younger guy was priming the system but had no idea why the older guy was cranking it and still dont really know. Even without rotating the engine oil still can travel through the valleys and into bearings so spinning it is pointless unless of course there were design flaws at the time (Due to not having tight bearing clearences), they would have to use valves to control oil flow to specific points in the engine; that would require rotation to lubricate all bearings. But the ones that would be dry would be the ones with open valves so the flow would already be going towards those bearings. Has electricity for the glow plugs but made it manual ONLY for lubrication prime and turn over? Seems ridiculous to me. Would have been full electric start procedure. One button everything done on its own. WITH all the mechanical overrides (no power or malfunction in starting system) A few simple electric motors and could have had the thing fired up in 15 seconds. Not 5 minutes.

[@mandernachluca3774]

Kyle Maes He said "injection valve timing to 100% volumetric effocienvy, wich in my opinion means nothing less then dethrotteling the injection pump ( Diesel engines have an either mechanicaly or electricaly actuated fuel valve, to stop the running engine). 100% volumetric efficiency, in this case, just means stopping the use of a device that decreases the original volumetric efficiency (for example a valve that decreases fuel flow or plain stops it). Also, i'm pretty sure that 5 minutes for the starting procedure of a marine engine is pretty notmal. As for the electric motors, the lovely thing about a fully mechanicle system is, that it will run under all circumstances, for example, what if the batteries are all dead? Lucky you, you have a fully mechanical system that can operate without any electricity (glowplugs are not nessecary, they just increase reliable startup rate). Even tanks and planes had a mechanical backup to start the engine without electricity.

[@screener545]

Mechanical should always be a backup - I meant there should be an electric start option. When you are down in a sub and you need to GTFO and it takes 5 min to get the engine going you are long dead before you even start cranking it over. "Injection valve timing to 100% volumetric efficiency" - I admit I misread so let me again explain how it is still wrong. I think he means "Injection valve timing set to 100%" or a specific degree to which fuel is injected to the cylinders. Has nothing to do with efficiency. Technically if the fuel lines dont leak anywhere and have fuel in it under pressure its always at 100% volumetric efficiency. The only time it wouldnt be is if it lost pressure, or had a fuel leak. To quote a definition - "Volumetric efficiency in a hydraulic pump refers to the percentage of actual fluid flow out of the pump compared to the flow out of the pump without leakage. In other words, if the flow out of a 100cc pump is 92cc (per revolution), then the volumetric efficiency is 92%. The volumetric efficiency will change with the pressure and speed a pump is operated at, therefore when comparing volumetric efficiencies, the pressure and speed information must be available. When a single number is given for volumetric efficiency, it will typically be at the rated pressure and speed." So by definition your hydraulic pump (fuel), actually loses efficiency as revs increase and gains efficiency as load increases. This in reference to the fuel system However the real VE of the engine changes due to half dozen variables like atmospheric pressure, head flow, intake flow, exhaust flow, load, fuel consumption etc.

[@mandernachluca3774]

Kyle Maes Your right and wrong at the same time. Your definition of efficiency is completly right but i think you did not quite understand me. I meant that initial efficiency of a pump with a closed throttle is lower than the actual efficiency (100% of the actual efficiency). This does not mean that the pump violates any thermodynamic law, it just means that you don't have 100% of the actual efficiency, when the throttle is closed (due to the throttle). Like an engine for example, if the throttle is closed, the efficiency of the whole system is pretty low, with the throttle fully opened, the efficiency os at the highest point (little fun fact: old race cars and bikes used to have type of throttle that is completely retracted from the intake manyfold, when fully opened to ensure maximum efficiency). Correct me if i'm wrong but as i learned it throtteling a pump means decreasing it's efficiency (because of pressure loss).

Als voormalig machinist op de Nederlandse onderzeeboten van de Potvisklasse en de Zwaardvisklasse spreekt me deze filmreportage zeer aan. Zelfs de Bosch brandstofpompen zien er bekend uit. De procedure bij het opstarten van de motoren (op onze Nederlandse dieselboten in de jaren ‘80 en ‘90) ging wel wat vlotter, alles gereedmaken duurde maar even. Bij snuiveren, dat betekent de motoren onder water opstarten met de inlaat-mast net boven de oppervlakte, was het belangrijk te controleren of er geen water in de motoren was gedrongen. Daarom was het tornen met lucht heel belangrijk. Ondertussen werden koelwaterafsluiters, luchtinlaten alvast gereed gemaakt zodat ze onmiddellijk (deels automatisch) konden openen als het bedrijf werd opgestart. Na het opstarten, werden de gekoppelde generatoren direct belast zodat de hoofdbatterij werd geladen. Er was geen sprake van warmdraaien ze werden heel snel volbelast. Het waren 3 stuks twaalf cilinder Stork Werkspoor motoren, die leverderden 920 kW per stuk. Indien er externe dreiging ontstond werden machines volbelast gesnelstopt, alle afsluiters werd met hoge vaart dichtgezet, en indien nodig werd er direct weggedoken. U kunt zich voorstellen dat de motoren door deze behandeling geen lange levensduur kenden. We hielden de motoren wel op bedrijfstemperatuur als ze gestopt waren, evenzo probeerden we ze na te koelen, mits dat kon. ( Bij geruisloze vaart onderwater werden alle pompen afgezet) .Daarom werden de dieselmotoren elke drie jaar volledig gereviseerd. In de film gaat natuurlijk alles erg rustig en gecontroleerd, tenslotte willen ze de oude machine heel houden. In werkelijkheid waren de machinisten ( net als wij) natuurlijk jonge kerels, met 30 was je al heel oud. In de film Das Boot is te zien hoe het er werkelijk aan toe ging.

One of the first engines that I got training on was a recovered older version, a Bohn & Kähler, closely resembling the ones seen on the original ' Das Boot '. Not a runner anymore as she came from a wreck, but man, I couldn't care less about that. What a joy to train as a lad, pulling cylinders on a block with such a history behind it. Even after spending some time in seawater, she would probably run if we had the parts that were missing. Sadly after I left school they scrapped her...idiots...kinda miss the old girl.

We had two of these engines at work, running side by side. They were installed and managed by the local electricity board, supplying electricity to the national grid and steam to the factory. They used heavy fuel oil (bunker fuel), stored in an 800-ton tank alongside. It had to be kept warm otherwise it would not flow into the engines, we were told. There was a large explosion (1990s) when a welder, on top of the full tank, ignited the vapour in the small void inside. The top blew off the tank and it roared, burning with a huge flame, like a Roman Candle firework. Unfortunately, the heat made a 30-ton tank of light hydraulic oil next to it (on legs) explode; the force causing it to fly over the roof of an adjacent building, emitting a huge flame from its base. It looked just like a rocket.

Wonderful, built by MWM (Motorenwerke Mannheim) in my hometown. The production of these engines was one of the reasons why Mannheim was bombed so often by the Allies. There was one occasion when they were loading new engines onto a Rhine river barge in the port of Mannheim to be transported northwards to the shipyards of Hamburg and Kiel when an American air raid began. A bomb hit the barge and it sank with the new Diesels on board. A few days later the engines were lifted from the sunken barge, cleaned up and finally reached their destination.

Very cool. I worked for a railroad for a few years as an electrician on locomotives. They use diesel engines to power a generator as well. This particular engine looks very similar in design to how GE diesel engines still look today (with EFI now). A lot of times machinists would forget to close those cylinder taps and when we'd go do an engine run to make sure it was making horsepower (4500hp @ 1050rpm) and no leaks and whatnot, you'd hear the air coming out and would have to go close them just like you see in the video. The handles were slightly different in design though. I hurt my neck and back and don't do that work anymore but while the history of this is way cooler, it brings back some good memories!

They only used the engine for when they were on the surface and to charge the batteries too. The engine could not be run while underwater or it would kill everyone onboard in a very short time. Thats why electrics powered the propellers while underwater. There was a snorkel that could be used to run the engine while the U Boat was just a few feet under the water also but once they had to dive to operational depths, it was on electrics alone. These submarines were probably some of the first hybrids out there when you think of it.

To a U boat engineer this is what you had to listen to when the boat was above water.( there were two side by side.) with a.walk.way.between them. Under water the U boat ran on battery powered engines./ this is how all WW1 & 2.subs ran. UNDER VASSER BOOT, or Under water boat. U - boat.

No matter what and thanks to their history and past too, the germans were and still are the best engineers worldwide. Respects, vielen Grüßen aus Deutschland 🙋🏻‍♂️🇲🇽🇩🇪

[@danatcanyonlake583]

Told to me by a German while I was working in the North Sea - "Whilst the Americans were walking on the moon in 1969 the Germans were still designing their spacecraft!". But yes, them and the Scandinavians are great designers and engineers!

[@rayenthompson6239]

​@@danatcanyonlake583. To be honest your comment triggert me a bit, normaly I write no comments I just enjoy the kontet which offers me KZbin but this time i had to make an exception. All national pride aside with out the german engineering we would be up the creek. With out Werner von Braun and his Team (all germans) the hole space programm and the moon-landing would have never happend in this short amount of time also on the other side of the ocean without Helmut Groettrup the ussr would not be able to desing manned "rockets". If your really interested in this buy the book "Operation Paperclip" its named after the codename for the mission which got german scientist new identities in the USA so that they can develop Spacecrafts and rocketengiens for the NASA. And please do me favor if someone does a great job, do not judge him by his background. ~ Rayen Thompson

@@rayenthompson6239 as I said that line was told to me by a German with a sense of humor. Yes the American space research was heavily influenced by the V-2 scientists who drew on the liquid fuel work done by Robert Goddard.

[@rayenthompson6239]

​@@danatcanyonlake583 no offence to you my problem are those people in this comment section which can't be this honest to admit that german engineering is and was the time ahead. ( I know you can claim a lot on the internet but worked as an engineer and I was happy every time when I had something with the labe "made in Germany" on my desk)

[@rayenthompson6239]

@PowerOf Oneget that chip off your shoulder!. You are the perfect example for my last sentence “if someone does a great job, do not judge him by his background“.you judge the hole german engineering by one invention if you are really interested in this topic i can recommend you the book "Maschinen Made in Germany"~ by Langenscheidt, Florian. If you have reed this you will understand why there is no over engineered stuff and trust me I worked in this job for a long period of time I know what I´m talking about. For everybody else how read this comment please believe me when I say that not every American is this limited to not recognize great Inventions and engineering did by other nations.

As a mechanical engineer this engine gave me goosebumps! Especially when he throttled it up. Such an amazing piece of technology, one can “feel” how happy this engine is to come to life! Very complicated startup procedure though, compared to today’s engines startup by just turning a key in the ignition. Or pressing a button.

Sebastian Müller they used electric engines when submerged

[@sebastianmuller1210]

@@motba6228 jepp. But sound travells very long distances in water. And they all had microphones to listen. Diving is just for the time there is an enemy. When they travelled the distances, they where on the surface using diesel. You dont wanna get caught then and get harassed and forced to dive. Diving time was limited and underwaterspeed was slow. Therfore a silent diesel is to be prefered.

@@GodFootDaddyG I'm fairly sure that they ran on battery power while the electric engines were engaged, they couldn't run off electric for very long, but if they needed the diesel running for power it would completely defeat the point of even Having electric engines.
