Have a wonderful day and enjoy! Let me know if you want more of these. I find them fascinating.

4:01 Now I understand how submarines can hear ships.

There is something beautiful and simple about these old, slow revving engines from the past. Thank you for posting this video.

That Bulldog tractor was hilarious. It looked like it was jumping/dancing at idle.

4:02- “it’s like we’re in the future! We have electricity right here on our yacht!”
“What!!??!!??”
“I said!...”
“Huh?!?!”

The double-acting stationary engines followed steam engine practice where the top end piston rod had a sliding support. That minimises cylinder wear and allowed equal power to be made from both sides

[AHDBification]

80 RPM... "Is that x1, 000? No, it's just 80."

That Flywheel at 1:10 is Perfect 👌 Nice Video as Always 😁👍 Watching the Guy with the Little Oiler at that Giant Rocker Arm Makes me Laugh

[hakjobtm]

your videos are getting seriously good dude, a perfect blend of interesting without being too dry.

As a child, I visited a bunch of stationary power museums featuring mostly the same type as the last few in this video. I urge everyone to visit such a museum someday. These engines are fascinating and even soothing to watch and listen to operate.

As always a very interesting video. Your English is getting much better, keep up the good work pls

[kermitttt]

There is sumthing very satysfying watching those engines working

[eecook]

The “Flying Milliard” twin is easily one of the better sounding engines I’ve heard

[penguinactually]

It's so cool watching all these engines running. Getting to see how everything works externally is fascinating

Some of those engine noises can make better beat than todays Rap songs

[xnato-uqtn]

Utterly fascinating. I've been an auto mechanic forced to play diesel mechanic by a city bus company for 24 years. I was a paid mechanic starting at 16, 46 years ago. I am still amazed by engines and their varieties, particularly mega sized engines. Thank you for this video, it is incredible.

At 2:21 that motorcycle sounds like the one that the butler rode on The Aristocats, lol.

[planegaper]

snow holley is in Colorado, and that engine sat outside since the early 1900's, after being retired from pumping out mine I think.. They re furbished it, put a structure over it, and it's now a popular tourist attraction at a state park.. she's a beast, considering how long it lasted neglected in the Cold Colorado weather left to decay.. I guess none of the big bits were affected, butI'm sure she needed some pretty extensive work on the cams, bearing and exposed components before this video was aired.. with all the crazyness in the world today it's nice to see there's enthusiasm for these old historical power plants..

Another great video, your spoken English is getting better by the video, and just think; most people complaining about your accent don't speak a foreign language at the same level or at all.
I like these big, slow engines as they show clearly all the functioning parts and some of these explain the principle of the internal combustion engine just by the sound they make, suck, squeeze, bang and blow.
