Why dont we see up to speed anymore?? I could watch James all day do up to speed. . . . . . even if im not fond of the vehicle he just has a way to keep a guy hangin on lol. . . . . . MORE POWER BABY!!!! ALL THEM BUFF HORSES from my crazy cousin Karl

[SteffenDolleris]

The Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C is not 1828 liters in total, but 1828 liters per cylinder!
The combined displacement is 25578 liters.

I have worked on one of these engines when I was a sailor. Cool stuff.

For those who might be interested, the ship engine has cylinders so large, you can stand in them, with arms stretched out, & NOT touch the sides, yet they are so simple to fix.

[hilow]

1:51 "alright so maybe 3 cylinders aren't enough cylinders for you. maybe you're a real cylinder queen" has me dying 💀💀💀

[oneslowix]

12:45 “and weighs 2, 300 TONS, or 8 nolan’s” 😭

[Bushtuckerman_]

My grandpa was an engineer on oil tanker ships back in the 60s-80s. I remember seeing a photo of him doing something to a cylinder when they were stuck in the middle of the ocean. He was using a 9inch grinder while he was standing inside the cylinder and there was another 2 guys in the hole aswell haha

[chrisfurby]

I bet the guys are simultaneously relieved and disappointed when a sponsor says they don't want a funny/creative ad 😂

[TheJacobbridges]

Idk how often you hear it but the fact that you guys mark your in video ads with the little yellow bar at the bottom is just great just shows how much you guys actually care about your subs not just putting a video out for money and makes me watch the whole ad as a thank you lmao

9:18 The telephone gag was absolutely amazing. James' deadpan delivery, the editing and sound effects were perfect. I rewatched this part 3 times. Donut's editing is a big inspiration for me!

[yannicktoonen]

I’d love to discuss all the wonderful 9-cylinder engines with James because it’s also one of my favorite things to talk about

[imatardable]

4:02

Got your sign backwards there… This says greater than 100HP.

5:02

Torque units aren’t LB/FT, but LB-FT.

[Dan]

If you're counting locomotives you missed biggest inline 6's and 12's. Fairbanks Morse made some massive opposing piston designs

[gordoeinstein]

James needs to pursue the seaplane record... Seems achievable

[gorbdonfreeming]

Also another large V12 is the AVDS-1790-5B, used in various tanks including the m60 Patton. It is still currently used in the M88A2 recovery vehicle. The 1790 is because it is 1790ci or 29.3L

[jamesturner]

Best production 18 cylinder was the Pratt and Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp. It was radial piston, air cooled, 2800CID or 47L, built-in supercharger. On the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, the R-2800 also had a Turbine-Supercharger (turbo) that was the size of 2 truck tires.

[cablecrab]

All of these together can fit in my miata

[SilliusSodus]

Biggest turbos/superchargers? Would be kinda cool.

[popopr]

Donut videos have been a blessing during this aftermath after hurricane Fiona passed here in Puerto Rico. Keep it up guys. I'll stay watching for as long as the cell towers still have diesel

[aellomusic]

The in-line 5 is also one of my personal favorites. Glad to see another man of good taste

[FarmanGaming]

Detroit tech here. Love seeing this stuff pop on on the channels I watch on YouTube. Have been watching your videos since before I even thought of becoming a tech. And this channel was a big part of my motivation to go to school
