The video: A recording I made of a couple of runs of the Continental R-670, also known as the W670-9A, during Park Farm weekend in the village of Thorney in the UK on the 12 June 2022. It is hoped that the engine can be installed in the Buffalo LVT behind the engine at some time in the future.
Engine start 3:20 if you want to skip the starting procedure: • Continental R-670 star...

That's a really smooth running radial.
They were used in the Stuart M3 tank. The cooling shroud and fan are original equipment....that unique pointy fan guard grill was added later probably by the builder of this ground running engine.....
Thanks. I was wondering where they were used.
Love the fact that these old bits of kit survive and that there are people with the interest and 'nous' to keep them running for future generations.!. Nice one.
Hope you were not in a hurry.
The m3 Stuart had two Cadillac V8’s and dual Hydromatic transmissions.
Early m-4 Sherman’s and m-18 hellcats had them.
How reliable were they.. Vs the other engines in the day..
Something I heard someone say once about these venerable radial engines. In a radial engine, at startup the cylinders will meet in committee to decide which one will fire first.
That's funny,thank you.
@@gilbertb8078plane engine ? What king of plane ?
We had one of these new in the crate. It was beautiful. We used it for parts for our Stearman Biplane engine which was the W-670 220 hp aero version. The tank engine has domed pistons and produces 250 hp.
Radial startups give me goosebumps every time. Never gets old!
Once they warm up, they steady up quite nicely!
Dam,that engine was smooth.
What a great display wish I was there to see it
That was REMARKABLE!!! ✌️🌞👍
Beautiful sounding engine, very responsive to accelerate commands. Unbelievably difficult to start up, would definitely be reluctant to count the amount of cranks that engineer had to use. Great exercise, but requires intensive training and youthful ability.
I think I need one for lawn mower!
Emoción a revivir el sonido de ese motor, son recuerdos de una época!
Gracias :)
I have so many questions.. thank you for this content.
Nice, credit to who ever invented it.
There is an M3 tank setting on display in a cemetery near me that still has one of these in it.
7 cylinder 4 cycle radial engine. cool as hell.
And when hell frezez over or will become electric... but I agree its awfuly beautiful..
What a realy nice well designed engine
A lot of effort went into putting on the display.
He's a little anxious with that for extinguisher. Looked like he was about to use it when the other guy was winding.
Radials by design are known to have a high risk of breaking into flames.
Runs like a it was just built yesturday.👍
Bet he's good at reading lips.I went to one NASCAR race.I brought box of earplugs and my ear muffs.Everyone in my group were happy I brought the box of earplugs to share with them.
those are exhaust bangs due to unburnt fuel exploding in the headers. you can even see the flames shoot out the exhausts pipe on the left side.
backfiring is different, it would backfire and then almost stall until it sucked in all the burnt up fuel and oxygen in the intake before it ran again. very common on carbureted engines.
Yep as the name implies backfire is fire coming out the intake
Interesting video 👍
Good morning to all from SE Louisiana 4 Jul 22.
Hi Bill, Rob from NE Louisiana, now South Central Kansas 4 July 2022.
Good evening , on this lovely sunny 4th of July, greetings from the great state of Alaska.

Fuerza muchachos de a poco se llega a la meta, más adelante conseguirán la cabina, las alas, alerones, el asiento etc. Ect. 👍
That has got to be the easiest starting radial I have ever seen.
Beautiful
Thank you
6:10 lets get some more of that lol sounds like a monster. I wonder what it would sound like w/ individual header pipes.. or all into 1 collector..
That's truly remarkable they were used in a tank. As loud as it is the version we see here must be somewhat modified. Very nice engine though. Virtually an aircraft engine for sure. I'm wondering now what fuel use would be like? And maintenance periods for this is?
Wiki says 13 gallons an hour at crusing speed but I assume thats under load? It is less in the current configuration. At UK prices that would be around £100 per hour to run it.
personally i wouldnt stick my face that close to a spring starter LOL
Fair observation! If I recall correctly, it isn't actually a spring starter, per se, but a means to manually turn the engine through a few revolutions to clear oil from the bottom cylinders so it does not hydro-lock when starting. That ratchet clicking is there to prevent the engine from kicking backwards - 670 cubic inches will toss you quite a distance if it kicks back. On the aircraft version, first step before lighting it, is to manually turn the prop through a few revolutions to clear the cylinders before switching on the mags (larger radial aircraft, the ground crew would physically walk the prop through several revolutions). M3 and M4 tanks lack of prop, necessitated this handy invention. I can't recall if these had actual hand crankable inertial starters in addition to electric. Ahh, the days of technology that can and would hurt you at every possible moment.
that thing sounds great! just like a sewing machine. that thing would be awesome in an old car.
That would be one very loud sewing machine! Interesting you should say that though: ua-cam.com/video/L_CnvRufT7c/v-deo.html
It was part of an airplane....
@@EyePeterborough it reminded me of this motorcycle i had. it was very loud, but you could cover the exhausts with your hands and it was almost silent minus a small ticking noise like a sewing machine.
R985 what a beauty !
R670 continental
Sehr gut
Sounds like a VW Baja bug driving along a freeway.
It does! Air cooled engines often have a similar sound, since there is no cooling jacket to mask the sound of the valves opening and closing.
@@jackroutledge352 you would be surprised how much noise valve train makes in a water cooled engine look up Spintron it is a machine they use to test cams and lifters and valves I. the engine block
Like this one? ua-cam.com/video/L_CnvRufT7c/v-deo.html :)
nice cowling.
Perfekt!!!
Quite the procedure.
Love to hear the C-119 at idle on taxi out!!!
Super cool vraiment
MUITO LEGAL 👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏 🇧🇷
Best idear
God What a Production,,,, It's a Fu_king Continental R-670,,,

82 years wow.
Continental are mainly known for Aero Engines . This looks like a Helicopter Engine , at a guess .
M3 Stuart!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_R-670 Had numerous applications 👍🏻
Can’t think of a better way to turn petrol into noise
it turns it into CO2 plant food
@@cardboardboxification I never thought of it that way.. brilliant!
Bagus
Да, если так запускать , то самолёт явно опаздает, куда бы он не собрался.
Тогда и не спешыли полетел ужэ радость
@@user-uj3dw2em4z тоже верно 🤗🤗🤗🤪🤪
😆👍
Closed caption said it's applause.

Ventilador a querosene de aviação, super silencioso
😀
I am sure for the crowd out therr its a turbo fan or at least super fun
Ну человек старался и наверное доволен что получилось в в остальном надо будет подшвманить и применить в дело
lol The old man standing there like yeeep I designed and built this thing and the young bloke doesn’t even know how to start it 😤
Is that a wind-up starter? Never seen one before.
Giant spring.
Think you are in a Tin-Can with this in the back.
You don't hear nore care if someone is shooting at you
Mantaps👍
Doesn’t seem to be very fast or fly but it sounds nice
Kren mas
Can you fly through that again?
Isn't that similar to the engine used on the Sikorski UH-34?
Very similar. I suspect the engine used in Sikorski would have been a competitor to those made by Continental in that time period..
A qué pertenece ese motor?
A nice 2min vid stretched out to nearly 9 min. Don't get me wrong: I love hearing the old ones. I just wouldn't have run a vid as long as this.
It was just originally put together for enthusiasts and the website which is why it's a bit longer. For some reason it's reach got a lot wider.
Para oque serve isso ?
Máquina para fazer barulho!
Машиможет и полететь если крылья приставать
I've never seen a blade on an engine like that before. Whaaaaat????
what's with the hand crank?
Clockwork starter. He's winding up the spring.
How long is it gonna' run on that "winding up"?? Like a toy car 🔧⚙
Shoe de bola 👏
What is Engine name?
Como se lubrica este motor ??
Lleva aceite por algun lado ??
Гидро бак отдельный
Так, двигатель работает, а что дальше ?
Установить в «Buffalo LVT»
It looks like they're using propane to run it they've switched it over instead of using the Airplane Fuel
Nope, it's oil and fuel in the two containers.
I want to know what is that mechine what is its work what is the necessity of the mechine towords the society
At 2:51, I made those same noises before I started.
So let me guess this engine would sit vertical in the tank? Why were the tanks' engines air-cooled?
Many were, but liquid cooled engines required openings for the radiator to vent heat, and could easily be shot up and damaged. Rendering the tank immobile and useless. Plus, they often retrofitted into tanks just about any mass produced engine of sufficient horsepower for use in them
Additional to what Tim says all the additional water cooling apparatus needed would have increased the weight somewhat.

Olá amigos! Qual é a utilidade desse motor? Parece uma turbina de avião!
Ну, так ты посмотрел видос с этим двигателем, уже польза

OK running! Now what?
كل الاحترام والتقدير
What kind of planes were these motors used in? And what eras of service?
It was used in a tank.
Mainly single engined planes such as the Boeing-Stearman Model 75, but they where also adapted to use in vehicles such as the M2 light tank and Buffalo LVT in the 1930s and 1940s.
Máquina de fazer curioso.
🇧🇷
I keep waiting for the takeoff ! !
___@___🥴___@___
I I
The poor engine needs to have some of those 10 or 12 inch chromed exhaust ends welded to the headers . The get some silly coal rollers to stick their heads in them as the engine fires up .
No earplugs?
They do normally wear ear defenders. I think they were just forgotten about this time.
ما شاء الله
Isso é um motor que caiu do aviao.né?
Yeah they can be a bitch to start if not primed right...updraft carb... and they catch on fire easily...I had a m3a1 Stuart with a 670 in it...always started hard..and I had a fire once...
Yep, thats why there's always a guy with a fire extinguisher on standby. :) When installed the Buffalo driver is literally sitting next ot it.
👍👍👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
That come out a Kamov Ka-26 (HA-MPB)?
The Kamov Ka-26 does use a radial engine but not this one.
they should put a picture of s tank next to it so that people would have a clue.

@@EyePeterborough raro. Pensé motor de un tanque parecía más motor un automóvil. Tal vez más grande para dar más potencia.
Esse motor fala grosso
What is he winding up at the beginning?
May have been wind up spring starter system
The starter.
The clockwork starter spring
Interesting shroud arraignment. This isn't a tank engine set-up is it?
Wouldn't be shrouded or aerodynamic in a tank
@@joeedwards9721 It says it is a Continental R-670. Is that the same as a Continental 220 hp? Those were used in numerous airplanes as well as ground vehicles --- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_R-670#Applications
I know for a fact that the cylinders are interchangeable between ground and air. The tank cylinders as I was told had an "ear" cast in to the cylinder head which a shroud attached to it for cooling. I was wondering if that was what I was looking at.
@@justadreamin1004 to be fair you probably know more than me about it but can't imagine that aerodynamic shroud in a tank but I don't know that for a fact.. Sorry
It would be a good application for a helicopter, ya think!??
The shrouding is for duct cooling of the cylinders yes mite been in ground vehicle
Has this engine ever been used in airplanes at all???
No the engines that ended up in land vehicles wern't rated for air worthiness.
@@EyePeterborough oh ok. Thanks!
Off to Google what this powered...
They were used in tanks but this one looks like helicopter installation.
Oye mama fayda kya hai iska ❤️
