@ Time Index 1:40
Classic relationship between Man and His Engine.
Man wants Engine to run, activates engines starter...
Engine wants Encouragement, engine sputters with smoke & non-synchronous feedback.
Man asks engine to, "run for Poppa"
Engine begins to fire its tune...
And what a Sweet Pristine Melody it is to hear this Old Engine come to Life!!!

In case anyone was wondering, yes their are some practical applications for these "weird" engines. The Toyota Prius uses a modified Atkinson Cycle engine.

OMG 2:14 never heard of these before AWESOME sound.

[CharlieGosh]

The Atkinson at 6:00 is the same engine design used in the Gen 2 Toyota Prius for a slight loss in power, dramatically lower emissions.

I remember a quote from the first Harley manual I ever read, " adjust timing until she's kicking over quite nicely!" I miss my sled.

That wright R-3350 had a mechanical supercharger, fuel injection, and and power recovery turbines.
The later versions were 34% efficient, an unheard of figure for that era.

Love the Unlimited Class tractor pullers!! Those guys run anything from aircraft jet engines to hemis and all the cool stuff in between!!

[alexjones]

Can’t beat a test ride in the snow, on a home made death trap wearing a 1960’s helmet!
Love it!

[homefront]

You do know that @ 8:00 all you heard was the small starting motor used to start the big ass motor?

Those piston aircraft engines were awesome!

[antknee]

4:35 that is the pump I use for a air compressor in my shop. I have tried to find ID #'s to figure out where it came from, This video solved the mystery. Thank you.

I once left a 3/4 drive ratchet on a L10 Cummings after adjusting the clutch. Luckily it was ratcheting in the direction of rotation.

[SubvenioArguo]

7:33 48 cylinders and sounds like a moped.

[VixNoelopan]

Ouch! Operating this wonderful R-3350 without propeller/fan, hence without any cooling, really hurts!

[jadeddragoon]

The Zvezda M503 they show is actually _not_ diesel. It's a competition tractor named Dragon Fire and the engine has been modified to run on methanol and produce almost double the horsepower of the unmodified M503... ~8000 @ 2500rpm. That's why it's so loud and has the sharp "snaps and pops" instead of diesel's typical wet rumble. And that's also why it breathes fire...

6:49 Should really put a water drag on the crank Those engines really bounce the shaft about with no direct Drive to some sort of drag ..
