It is so nice to watch a documentary that just says, "room temperature of 74°" and doesn't feel obligated to give the corresponding Celsius or Centigrade or Kelvin temp.
"When will I get a diesel in my automobile?" You know, in the context of Kettering's comments, 20 years ago we had cacophonous clanking calamities installed in ordinary pickup trucks. I have a 2015 RAM Ecodiesel. It's a wee little 3.0L V6 that has the torque of the HEMI V8 but an economy unmatched by any other offering. It is so smooth and quiet... if you are a Mopar person, the old 318 was a model of silken smoothness, no doubt matched by similar offerings of the Big Three. This engine matches it, but I get 25 MPG in town and over 30 MPG on the highway. And at just over 50K miles, it's stronger and better than new. Love it. Shame that Kettering, a brilliant engineer, could also turn a blind eye to his employment of tetraethyl lead in gasoline. He knew how bad it was.
Never Happen ! With modern emissions regulations . Actually they were toast a couple of emission" Tiers " ago . You're right about the power/ weight advantages of old school two stroke , but just nostalgia today .
14:40 Ironically, the Diesel-electric locomotive proved best in freight service, where need very large amounts of tractive effort at low speeds is needed. That's because the Diesel prime mover can produce the same maximum power at any train speed, consequently the available torque, and tractive effort declines with increasing speed. Diesels could run as fast as the Milwaukee Road's F7 streamlined steam locomotives, but man, how they guzzled the fuel at high speed! So, passenger timetables slowed with the introduction of the new power, passengers were disappointed by no improvement in service and the downward spiral of the American passenger train began in earnest.
Winton later renamed Cleveland Diesel Division was merged into EMD. They made the big engines. Detroit Diesel Division made the smaller engines. EMD was independent then purchased by GM then sold to Warren Buffet in 2005. Starting in 2010 it's now owned by Cat. Detroit Diesel was created by GM. In 1988 Penske purchased 60% of Detroit Diesel. In 2000 DD was totally purchased by Mercedes Benz and still owns it.
@Dead Freight West...you can't beat those 3.0 liter diesels from Dodge. Along with the Ford Power Stroke they are two of the best engines built anywhere in the world.

Ah the innocent good old days. Transportation design was exciting when power from oil seemed cheap and plentiful, before it's costs in war and climate change were known.

1.5L turbo diesel that hauls 3 tons, does 70mpg and farts out 150 horses if you fancy a few black clouds ❤
Got to love French cars 🤣
80+ years later and we still use diesels on the rails and on ships.
Yes ! But not 2 Cycle .
@@filianablanxart8305 The 2 cycle may make a return.

Great teacher
The E1 diesel locomotives of 1938 for Santa Fe Railroad was the most streamlined diesels ever built.

Thank you for publishing this great video.
The video vibrates so much that I cannot bear watching it.
No vibration here pal. Maybe your tellys on its way out 😂❤

Thank you German engineer Rudolph Diesel.
Ah yes, cigarettes before food. Yes, truly it is the 1930s.
Back when smoking was good 4 your health!
Back when they was smart enough to drink George Washington's Switchel and cleanse the plaque from there blood from tobacciana
80-190+ Years later,The Baterry and The Electric Locomotive and Robotic locomotive.
Winton Engine Company is now known as Electro-Motive Division of General Motors
EMD hasn't been part of GM for a while. Now part of Progress Rail, under Cat.

Love the growl of an old Detroit when the rack is out a bit. (but I'll buy foreign before I ever buy gm again {and they're durajap anyway} )
Yeah. Buy American u traitor!
I like diesel engines
16:36 "and our cameraman climbs down between rails......." I'm calling B.S.
They never said he got out in one piece!
They used a dwarf!
some people have done that and survived btw
13:04
OH NO
Just because a v10 isnt worth it to you, general motors, doesnt mean its not worth it to me
13:04 :
Two spinning rotors, that we shall call fidget spinners, provide the cylinder with fuel.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the sport of drag racing is born.
TOO MANY ADS !

these prototypes have been lost and unviewable because of the stupid bar
It’s not unviewable, you just need to buy the film to remove it to see them

Yes, coal-burning electric vehicles are much better.
@@ednorton47 which footprint model of fuel conversion cycle, vehicle fabrication, and energy consumption during use are you referring to?
