Tank Engines starting up Sound That Will Shake Your Soul

[@EsoxAC]

A dear friend, that has since passed, knew the continental 12 in his sleep. He used to talk about it like a beloved family member. He served as a tank mechanic in the army and reserves for 25 years. Used to say, what a BEAUTIFUL engine. Retired 1 year after the Abram’s official introduction. Did not show the same affection for the turbine engine. 😂. RIP Brother AL.

[@raginroadrunner]

The Army knew the turbine was not a good way to go. Cummins designed an air cooled K 2300 V12 to replace it. 1600 hp. I was workin for Cummins when this happened. The M1 went on to be a failure in the Ukraine.

found this video by accident, interesting comments. I know nothing about Tank engines. Can you explain what damage can happen from one of the cylinders not firing? thanks.

[@newagetemplar6100]

@@buzzedalldrink9131 Many things from a burnt value to a lean mixture. The engine may suffer from a poor porting design on that particular port causing exhaust gases to flow differently. Wrong compression ratio if the engine has been rebuilt with the wrong piston. Could also be wrong / irregular ignition timing, this can happen on an engine that uses a distributor where the spark can jump from either a lead or faulty distributor cap . Lastly it could be from a valve train fault, ie sticking valve or damage elsewhere . Hope this helps .

06:08 A v-12 Diesel engine, almost certainly of german design, but definitely not a Tiger tank engine, and possibly not even a german tank engine. German tanks never had diesel engines, only gasoline. Furthermore even the very rare diesel units proposed, like the amazing Simmering-Graz-Pauker Sla 16 X-16 engine, never passed the prototype stage. This engine was seen on YT videos years ago, IIRC 2011-2012, and has been also discussed on specialized WW2 and tank forums from both technicians and panzer experts: the almost unanimous answerwas that the engine isn't and have never been a Tiger engine, and quite possibly not even proposed in a tank prototype (no mentions, documents, drawings available). IIRC the owner was (or still is?) a welsh gentleman, that said the engine was recovered in a barn in Dorset.. Still: 1 - It's definitely a diesel (note the fuel injection pumps with their piping), from its sound is a 4-stroke diesel. German never used them on tanks. 2 - It's doesn't seem a Maybach design, or, at least, it's completely different from all their engines that, in all their V-12s, sport a monoblock bank of 6x heads per side, while this has 3x twin heads blocks per side. Maybach was THE tank engine factory "par excellance", equipping almost all the panzers of german manufacture (except a few very early models like Grosstraktors, Neubaufahrzeug, etc) and lots of armoured and unarmoured vehicles like tractors, half tracks, armoured cars. Maybach engines equipped all german medium and heavy panzers: think to PzKpfw. III; PzKpfw. IV; Panther, Tiger I & II and their derivatives and you're thinking to Maybach 3- It's definitely quite peculiar from a german tank design "habit" point of view: here we have 12 central exhaust pipes between the V cylinders/heads banks and side aspiration ducts, while all Maybachs and, generally, the german "usual" tank design has the carburettors (& often air filters) in between the V banks and exhaust on the sides, with manifolds running to te single or dual rear mufflers.

[@tommysts1920]

What amazes me about the Germans concerning World War Two, is that they had all this technology, but didn't put it to use. Otherwise, we would probably be speaking German now.

[@patrickshaw8595]

Everything after the MK IV STuG was diesel powered. My Dad was infantryman and stayed for 2 years of occupation. Sergeant of the Motor Pool.

[@MC202zipper]

@@patrickshaw8595 With all respect for your dad, no, they were not, there was definitely a misunderstanding. I am pretty sure of what I have said, part because I have been a mechanic and a field engineer for my whole life (I am 60+, started assembling and tuning MX motorbikes at 12-13yo, ended my career on V-16 Cat 398 & 3516, etc), and partly because, being a tank enthusiast, I bought my first technical book on panzers in 1972 and kept buying more and more stuff until today, where I have a very remarkable library on the matter. I don't want to sound snotty, really... but try some search about Maybach engines. You can start checking the remarkably well done "List of WWII Maybach engines" on Wikipedia, for starter, and also ckeck out "Tank engines, how the Wehrmacht's Diesel Stalled - Tank Archives" article to know why the german army never had a diesel tank produced All PzKpfw III & IV (except very early series, with 10,8lt HL108TR), all StuG III & IV, StuH 42, and all PzKpfw III/IV derivates like Brummbär, Nashorn, Hummel, Ostwind etc. had Maybach gasoline engines. All from the same family of Maybach HL120TRM 12lt V-12 with 270-290HP Newer/bigger stuff, like initial PzKpfw V "Panther" Ausf D and PzKpfw VI Ausf H "Tiger I" had the 21lt V-12 Maybach HL210 P30 & P45, later "Panther" Ausf A & G, Jagdpanther G1 & G2, late "Tiger I", "Tiger II" "Jagdtiger" had the 23lt V-12 HL230 P30 & P45. These last engines had between 600' and 700 HP, depending from the different installations on different tanks. The only diesel that AFAIK were drawn and tested (and supposedly had to be produced, but... they were not, at least never for tank use), were - the Daimler-Benz MB 809 21.7lt 400 HP diesel engine for a 20 Ton tank prototype, it was also developed as a 17.5lt 360 HP variant (an this was the variant to be chosen, but work never progressed past trials) - the Daimler-Benz MB 507 & 507C V-12 diesel engine . In theory it was to be used on a VK 30.02(D) 30 ton tank prototype built from Daimler-Benz) but it was used only by the KM, the Navy. The MB 507 was a 42.3lt 700-850 HP engine and its larger brother, the MB 507C, was 44.5lt V-12 that made 800 HP (1000 HP for a limited time) - the amazing SGP Sla 16 (Porsche Type 203) X-16, a 16-cyl diesel X engine with a twin turbocharger that had to be installed on the VK45.02 Porsche proposal for a King Tiger II (check the beautiful article "SGP Sla 16 (Porsche Type 203) X-16 Tank Engine - Old Machine Press" ) and - the 8-cyl Tatra Diesel that had to be installed on the Jagdpanzer-Starr "Hetzer", the successor of the originally czech built PzKpfw 38(t) and the derivated "Hetzer" tank destroyer that originally mounted the Praga 6-cyl in line 7.8lt 160 HP gasoline engine.
