Guncamera film

Some more video that we had in the files. In the middle of the video is some actual gun camera film that we had loaded onto an original AN-N6 gun camera cartridge and this was our first shot using the original camera as shot from the original location in the airplane. Hope you like.
imagine put that thing in a lambo
Always wondered what the Executor sounded like starting up in the morning
Saw an article once, it said, nobody could build these today, the skills have been lost
Lovely! Sad there are so few of these left running. Marvelous piece of engineering.
The Merlin is of course awesome, but I think I might like these even better. A sweeter, mellower tone than a Merlin - which is rather raspy. Impossible to know if this DB had JUST been run prior to this video - but if not, it's amazing it doesn't bark a bunch of smoke upon startup...ESPECIALLY considering the inverted design which you'd expect would encourage the draining of oil down into the cylinders. Yes, it's got a scavenge pump hoovering the crankcase - but so did our Radials - which ALWAYS barf oil smoke on startup.
I have never heard one of those run, but that gave me some complicated feelings. It sounds amazing.
That turbo alone has to be bigger than the flathead Tecumseh that’s in my garden tractor
supercharger, not turbo
Hammer ! Hammer ! Hammer !!!
How much does one cost DB605 ?
The db605 is actually in a Mercedes Benz it's a T80
+@khalidmb23 The T80 speed record car used the DB-603.
A great engine, bear in mind it has approx 7 litres more displacement than the Merlin for roughly same Performance.
Amazing. The sound tells me that the mechanical geometries are very high tolerance. The Merlin sounds like tin can full of rusty washers.
You mean like two skeletons fornication in a dustbin:-) I read Somewhere the Merlin cam has a profile that leads to a more lumpy idle , they sure sound smooth as the revs climb though. The smoothest engine I ever heard period, was a Bristol Centaurus sleeve valve unit in a Sea Fury, huge mill too !
You need you hearing tested pal.
Someone needs to put this in a Miata
stick it in a volkswagen beetle
Merlin's sound a lot like Led Zeppelin but DB605 sound more like Metallica!. It's wider displacement has a certain growl to it that brings a smile to my face. Had the Germans been able to source all the precious metals they needed for piston fighters and axial flow jet engines perhaps they could have produced faster numbers out of these incredible machines during WW II
Bloody geek trying to mimic sound of airplane in the sky by playing with revs slowly. I don't work like that kid.
+@Paul-G90 This is an engine shop and one of the best in the world. After overhaul they test the engines at all RPM ranges up to war-emergency for some engines. They're going to put at least six hours on them before delivery to the customer. Mike does specialty work on some the ultra-rare engines also like the BMW radials and Jumos. They've built the only two BMW 801s that are running in the world.
Thank god there aren’t people trying to hid engine tests of these amazing engines. Thank you!
+@wackaircraftmechanic2312 Unfortunately the engine customers do hide them. Paul Allen's museum was notorious for having their work done in secret. This engine shop built the Jumo 211 for the Allen's new Stuka but they did not have permission to publish a video like this of the 211 on the engine stand. And also they are finishing up a Jumo 213 for a customer and I don't know if they will have permission to film that one either. These owners can be funning about their stuff.
Darth Vader motor....ominous looking......sounds wonderful!
HORRIDO
My favorite fly-by aircraft is the Messerschmidt Bf-109!
She didn't sound too happy on that run. Had that have sprung to life like that in a 109 the prop would have turned to match sticks in an instand nose over.
+@stevenborham1585 This is one of the first runs after overhaul, so they are getting all of the setting adjusted. Inside the shop they have an array of test equipment to calibrate the fuel pumps, etc. but they still have to get everything happy.
I figured as much but I thought that such a big engine may get hurt springing to life too agressively like that.@@FiveCentsPlease
@@stevenborham1584 The engine is happy and so is the Bf-109G-6. ua-cam.com/video/cKiYN2AUxnE/v-deo.html She turned heads at Oshkosh last year before delivery to the customer in TX. The San Antonio area I think.
Marginally better view over the nose of an a/c with an inverted vee format, but what is curious about the 600 series is the compression was lower on one bank of cylinders- to compensate for the uneven 'throw' of oil! A Spitfire IX was captured late in the war and re-engined with a DB605. The queue to fly it was long; then again if it was merlin engined the same would have been true. A photo of it (in Stuttgart?) exists.
+@thephilpott2194 I also think the uneven compression ratios was to compensate for the asymmetrical intake pressure from the supercharger location.
That supercharger whistling is sooo😍😍😍
È stato riparato da vintage V12s?
Outstanding
Beautiful’❤
Superb
The engine is so clean with very little tubing and wires around the entire Block, although maybe most of the things and between the cylinder head blocks but still the engine looks way ahead of other Engines of the same Era.
And in most ways it was. Where it lagged behind the engines of the other warring nations was the fact that the monolithic engine block made it difficult/impossible for relatively minor failures to be repaired in the field. Broken rings or a burned piston required that the thing go back to depot (almost always on a vulnerable train--you've seen the strafing movies) to be repaired by highly trained technicians. On the other hand, the Quick Change of an entire engine was the fastest and easiest of all the combatants', but squadrons had to carry fresh engines with 'em--a big logistical problem to build, crate an' carry. The Merlin had removable cylinder banks that could be replaced overnight by crew chiefs in the event of the same failure. Almost all of the stuff that could break existed as spare parts.
Nice 😊
An amazing engine when you consider the restrictions the Germans were under during development. The thing that always makes me smile is the cleanliness when they start, no clouds of oily smoke a la RR Merlins.
Or from the russian engines! They smoke as hell! Im a lover of Isotta W18 engines! Crew on torpedoboat from 1942!
They’re using modern fuels. Germans at the time had to synthesize fuels due to the lack of oil and the German planes were smoky as hell.
@MackTheGovnah Merlins use the same modern fuel nowadays but they always spew smoke out on a cold start. The DB doesn't, even though it is an inverted V engine. Very impressive👍🏻👍🏻
..They don't quite sound the same as a Merlin or an Allison...very distinct...they are all V-12's of somewhat similar displacement, I wonder is the different sound due to being run inverted, different firing order, head design, or something else?...The Junkers Jumo 213 I saw a video of it running years ago in the FW-190D-13, it sounded different, also..it had a very wicked sound...
+@dyer2cycle Firing order, exhaust shape, and valve timing all affect the engine sound. Compare the Merlin and Griffon, because they have different firing order. The Jumo 213 on the Dora was not running very well at all and could only idle. A shop in CA is building a 213 for a customer and if they will allow some video, it will be nice to hear one running properly.
Wow, I sure would like to hear a well-running Jumo 213!...awesome!@@FiveCentsPlease
It sounds like Darth Vader daughter running away from Vader
The sound of the supercharger...sublime.
"Eargasm"😅
Nothing beats that sound. Nothing.
+@zakkhuitema3748 This same shop has already overhauled and tested the Jumo 211J for the Stuka at the Flying Heritage Museum, but they were not given permission to publish any video of it unfortunately. If the Stuka project is completed, we can listen to a Jumo 211 for the first time. And they are working on a Jumo 213 for another customer, and hopefully we will be able to hear that one eventually too.
Y'know what beats that sound? The same (wonderful)engine in an airframe, flying where we can hear it. Wonder where it's gonna end up? Y'think there's a plan to fly it?
That would be awesome to see.
Not even your Merlin....?
Sounds better than a Rock Concert. Love it. Regards from Alaska!
9-12087 or 9-12059?
German Engineering it was a 100 years ahead and still is
I’m sure it’s already been said, but no such “ME-109” exists, Messerschmitt is the manufacturer, and the name of the plane this engine is housed in is the Bf-109, a G6 in this instance
Got to put it out there, there were data plates on planes saying "ME-109". The designer of the 109 {Willy Messerschmitt} took over BFW.
Yep, correct...that is why the earlier ones were referred to as "Bf-109", and later ones as "ME-109"...as an aside, the Focke-Wulf FW-190 late war long-wing development of the FW-190 was referred to as the "TA-152"..for the designer, Kurt Tank...@@lector-dogmatixsicarii1537
Die Me 110 hatte zwei von diesen Motoren Gruß aus Deutschland
Very much ahead of its time. With fuel injection it could go up to altitude with no icing problems, or mixture to worry about. Less pilot flight load. More time to concentrate on flying and aiming!
The FW-190 had no mixture no prop control and no supercharger control. Just a throttle control, It was the 1st mechanical computer put in an aircraft.
@@schecter6l6 True. It (BMW 801?) was also pressed into the field before many bugs were worked out, and drove jagdgeschwader (sp?) engineering officers crazy with their frequent failures (including those systems other than the revolutionary power controls) when it first entered operation. The 190 was a formidable adversary early on, pretty much unmatched until the Spitfire IX became operational.
Pretty sure this is the first time I’ve been able to watch this video and not shed any tears.. Miss that man terribly
It’s BF-109 not ME-109…
Bouth correct
being a brit was brought up on the greatness of the merlin, but after finding out how RR torpedoed the competition in the uk during the 1930s (napier being just one company), ive been appreciating other types. the db605 with direct port fuel injection & a single stage fluid drive supercharger was a rather good design. nice to see one still in working order!
+ Roland Lawrence There's an Emil at Biggin Hill but I don't know how often it flies.
The fuel was injected directly into the cylinder, not into the port.
It was good but lacking power compared to the later Merlins let alone the Griffon powered spits
Still one of my all time favorite videos. Thank you so Much to Mike for allowing my father and I to be among the first to see this after it was first developed and transferred to digital!
Hmm... Yes... Vintage Radials...
I'm glad I wasn't the only one to notice lol
Is it possible to fit this in a truck?
+ alexandru.g See the Mercedes-Benz T80, which was built with a DB-603 for a land-speed record attempt. No attempt was completed because of the outbreak of WW2, and the car is on display at the Mercedes-Museum.
@@FiveCentsPlease My question was mostly for comedic purpose, but goddamn that thing is sick
@@alexandru.g8746 It would be a sacrilege to put one of the rarest Aero engines in a truck. Take an Allison, Merlin or Griffon if you must, there are tons of them around. Don‘t dare using s DB 60x! 😉😳
@@darkredvan The fact that no expert hobbyist has managed to get any DB or Jumo or BMW running on an exhibition test stand demonstrates their rarity and complexity. I think Peter Grieve in the UK has been slowing working on Jumo 211 that might end up as a running display a long time from now. Peter is also very busy building engines for other clients.
@@FiveCentsPlease To my knowledge there are even very few experienced engine restoration shops that got DB 60x‘s running. Out of my head there are about 7 or 8 worldwide (including those who closed business) who did so post 1945. Even they had some difficulties to overcome. AFAIK currently there are no more than a handful of them left who are able to get one running.
The Merlin sounds awesome, the DB605 has that little extra. What I would like to see is the MW50 activated. I can only imagine the note coming out the exhaust. Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I don't think there is much need for that since it was invented to make up for inferior German wartime fuels lower knock ratings. With modern high octane fuels you get the same higher manifold pressures without needing to use it.
@@emknight84 check out this vid of a modern day vehicle with modern day pump fuel running on water methanol injection and you will get an understanding of what it does to an engine. ua-cam.com/video/mjeGNOCtbaw/v-deo.html
@@emknight84 A higher octane doesn't give one higher manifold pressure. But it DOES allow a higher manifold pressure to be used without the detrimental detonation , and subsequently due to the tolerated higher combustion chamber compression ratio achieved , there's a higher brake mean effective pressure. I.e. more power output. The volatile nature of high octane also gives a denser charge .
@@mariuspetit8078 yeah I know. Hence what my post says. They had to strap all these systems to the engines to help reduce the detonation in their engines due to their low octane ad hoc fuels. With modern high octane fuels there wouldn't be much need for them since you could push the engine to the higher Ata settings most likely without the mw50.
it will only sound a little harder at a little higher rpm on MW50. I doubt it would be safe to run it at 2000HP on this stand.
Was it really worth it inverting the engine? Surely not
what
+ Adfer Inverted was the specification adopted for aero engine development in Germany sometime in the 1920s, along with provision for a central cannon. The inverted engines work just as well. A few advantages are pilot visibility and much easier maintenance for the ground crews without ladders. Other countries besides Germany designed and used inverted engines.
If you pilot them (with intent to fight) and work on them then surely it was. If you're going for an afternoon lap probably not.
The inverted design did give them more than a little bit of trouble. Things like excess oil consumption on one cylinder bank, weird oil system design issues, etc. I think ultimately it was the wrong choice, if only because the designs of the planes they were putting them in didn't really take full advantage of the good points of an inverted engine.
Dont forget lower center of gravity and more aerodynamic (wider at the bottom)@@FiveCentsPlease
did Mike Nixon build this?
+ Craig Williams Mike is still there but I think Jose has been doing the DB work (and some Jumo 213 and 211 work.) Mike has been helping to calibrate the BMW 801 for Collings. Mike was also doing the specialized work on the Jumo 211 for Allen's Stuka. The 211 is finished but they didn't have permission to publish any video. Hopefully the new owners of Allen's collection will resume work on the Stuka and we can hear that 211 purr.
This is incredible.... As a fellow Illinoisan I wholeheartedly applaud you
