12 Most Incredible And Unusual Engines

Technology has come on a long way since John Barber invented the world’s first gas turbine way back in 1791. Three years later, Thomas Mead refined Barber’s idea and came up with the world’s first gas engine, and in the same year Robert Street introduced the concept of using liquid fuel, creating what we now recognize as the internal combustion engine. The same basic principles are still used in motor vehicles today, but amazing minds all over the world have introduced incredible ways of combining different fuels and mechanical parts to bring us truly wondrous creations. In this video, we’re celebrating the strangest and most incredible engines in history.

You guys see the naked dude 6:59? Well played! Tyler Durdenwould be proud! 🤣 🤣 🤣

7:04 Do you want soylent fuel? Because that's how you get Soylent fuel.

A ship with any space propulsion system can accelerate to any speed below the speed of light so long as it has enough fuel to do so. Using one system over another does not place some magical cap to your velocity. The only difference (from a broad view) between different propulsion methods is how much thrust they produce and how fuel efficient they are.
Edit: Also the EM drive concept is not Chinese, it was first proposed by British engineer Roger Shawyer

you do know that train engines are pretty much the exact same as regular diesels right? They still have Cam shafts, push rods, etc, fuel pumps and governors.

I just made a motor... For my kayak.... I used a weed eater.

okay, first off, shockwave is a semi, so it's larger than a pickup, 2nd off it's not "fiting in the cab" they mounted it on the back.

You have spoiled the film with too many annoying

The Columbia Motor Co. had Electric cars in 1902, and chainless bicycles . It was named Victoria Phaeton . Half of the cars in USA at the time were electric . WHERES MY FLYING CAR !!!!

Diesel engines were invented by a guy named, guess what, Diesel.

[nickwatson]

That is not a Chevy cab that is a Freightliner semi

[computeriphone]

I don't understand how 5.4 Newtons is anything even considerable for thrust. I haven't looked into the matter, I just hope i'm misunderstanding.

[tigerlilly]

Catch 21 of the Ion engine. Great engine to use in space...absolutely useless in an atmosphere. So you'll never see planes or anything using them.

[RadiationOverdose]

6.3 Seconds in a 1/4 mile is slow. Promods can do that these days. Top fuel is at 3.6. Shockwave is still cool tho

[dougrobbins]

Background noise and "music" or whatever the hell that is, sucks in a big way. What the hell is wrong with people, to fill the audio track full of sonic diarrhea, like fucking imbeciles.

You’re videos are interesting but I can’t stand how you intermix clips from movies as if they are part of what you are describing. It’s hard to tell if what I’m seeing is part of whatever your subject matter is or a photo or clip from Hollywood. Perhaps if you put a label on the “borrowed” clips to differentiate them from photos of the actual thing you are talking about.

This guy knows jack shit about engines

Win was the first eanagen was a stimeion and the strionlen eanagen was mad and the cristel was used on the readeos and a simeant on the recareacked plate and the red and the DVD a lazer a dimean tipe

[michaelboyd]

Have you sine a cristel and Safire eanagen and the ginstoin eangion center is a grandest and the topaspz jacionth in a way witch that the eanagen was mad by the kings knight and the spirit of the supper power and the highest calling of off the land
