10.4L Oil Engine Running @ Zero RPM. How is that possible?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 кві 2021
- A start and run of the 13hp Beijer Hot bulb oil engine from 1928. This is able to run at 0rpm.
BORE: 210mm.
STROKE: 300mm.
So the cylinder volyme is on: 10.39Liters.
When I tune the injection pump down as far as i can, it fires so little every time that the piston only bounces back an forth on the compression and fires again-bounces-fires-bounces and so on.
It is used for stationary power. Like running a sawmill for example. So the 0rpm running is to no use really, just a cool feature to the audience on engine shows. Normally it runs at around 400rpm. - Авто та транспорт
So cool, this is exactly the content you watch all of at 4:30 AM for no reason.
Even better than Memes 😅
Currently watching at 4:02 am
Wow haha currently 0408 Uk time 😂
9:13pm, I'm old :D
4:46am 🤦🏻♂️😒
Rpm: 0
Torque: Yes
When you need to pull that tank out of the mud
Usefulness : 0
This thing has tons of torque. Since it’s a 2 stroke it’ll run in reverse as well.
@@9crutnacker985 Untrue - with the appropriate belt drive ratio you can run all manner of equipment off of an engine like this (pumps, sawmills, grain threshing & milling, engineering equipment etc etc). Indeed, in the event of a global disaster such as a killshot solar storm, or nuke war, these may be the ONLY kind of engines that are still usable.
@@boydw1 Not at oscillating 'zero' RPM it's not.
I'm here... not sure why but glad I am. Very interesting sir!
Me too!
🥰
Here* probably wondered why you were in school too huh
Mr O. Glad to hear you're making an appearance
Ayyyy it's Dr. O! Fancy seeing you here! 😺 This ain't no Chevy Thunder or Hondoo, and it sure does make more smoke than the Avoca Smokah. 😸
This is what people in 1928 heard when they started the engine as well. I love hearing the sounds of old engines, it's like time traveling.
This is one of those cool things you see late at night deep in the UA-cam rabbit hole and think "I could use one of those in my workshop". What for? You ask. "What do you mean what for? To run it, of course."
Just look at it, run it, complain its taking up to much space, look at it again.
Seems pretty good
of course!
I'm gonna change your statement a little with my case :D This is one of those cool things you see late at night deep in the UA-cam rabbit hole and think "I'm just gonna watch this one more and go to sleep, tomorrow is a working day" and A few moments later is 4 in the morning and in two hours you need to go to work...
This is so true!
"What for?"
Well, to hook up to a fan to exhaust all these fumes obviously.
Schrödinger's engine, it's running and not running at the same time!😂
Great comment!!!!
Ironically, it was built before cats were required!
@@whitesapphire5865 HAHA, cats!! That better than my comment!😂😂.
So the Swedes were building quantum engines long time ago😆
@@domminion599 But....... Were it not for your comment in the first place, mine would have no reason to exist
We used to do this with R/C airplane 2-stroke engines; the propeller would just flip back and forth, but they'd run like that if the needle valve was low enough. Really cool, thanks for sharing!!
Thanks! Yes a RC engine with glow plug is very simular to this engine so i can se why 🙂
I would get this from my Cox .049 trying to get a homemade 18" blade to spin in hopes of making a helicopter when I was 10 years old.......the stupid things we do as kids..... still have my fingers and that engine...lol
As a diesel mechanic this is by far one of the coolest engines I've seen!
"Sure honey, I'll start the car.(.an hour later: ) "ok , ready to go"?
My father was a mechanic for 57 years... i told him i have seen an engine running at 0 RPM.... "IMPOSSIBLE," he says as we banter, i show him this, he says, "that is 0 rpm! I forgot about these, i worked on one during my apprenticeship", then he also told me about the time he started a Field Marshall.... with a shotgun shell.... Thank you for this, very good content made my dad remember some old times and tell me some great stories. Australia had to import everything at the time my dad started as a mechanic. He just turned 70 this year and was working at 11 years old with my grandfather in his service station. He said "I never want to smell f *&king engine oil again". Also said they could run this engine on whale oil.... and did.
Many WW2 aero engines had a cartridge starter (Coffman). Many needed one cartridge to clear the engine (ignition off) then one to start with ignition on. If it failed to start, you'd often have the engine on fire so make sure you know your mixture settings. :)
Grouse story.
Grouse story - the stationary engines I’ve inherited where left on the farm of a tractor/engine collector mechanic which I bought in Vic.
@@rupert5390 make some vids of them.
Nice one is also starting a engine with a engine (pony motor) with big CAT engine in the 60s/70s
Do you want this engine to run forwards or backwards?
*YES*
So what do you do when you get it going and it fires off in the opposite direction you need it to go?
@@routtookc8064 *run*
@@routtookc8064 turn it down to 0 rpm and then try to increase the rpm at the right moment? I guess.
😅

I used to think old stuff was boring and stupid. Now the older I get the more impressed I am with what people have achieved in the past.

Yes! Thanks!
Danke bitte schon
Thank you so much! I was skipping around saying none of this is 0 rpm
0 RPM also 11:32
I actually used to work on engines like this in the oilfield, they powered the pumpjacks. Thought it was pretty awesome that they were entirely self sufficient as they ran on the natural gas that came out of the well they were pumping. A few of them were converted to use crude oil to lube bearings, they tied into the oil tank and used a float valve to keep a small tank filled. The apocalypse could come and go while these guys just keep chugging along indefinitely. Ajax compressors are sort of a modernized version of this, but the air (natural gas) start system was so much fun to kick over and watch smoke billowing from a 16" stack.
Thanks for sharing your story 😊 Yes, smart thing to run on natural gas when it alredy exists!
I love the self sufficient oil wells.
There is a well maintenance guy who posts videos of them on YT.
I can't think of his name but I love his videos.
All the wells in my area have been converted to electric.
Not nearly as much fun to watch.
@@1978garfield Yeah, most of them out here are electric. I'm right in the middle of the West Texas desert, and ironically there's a forest's worth of utility poles, which sucks because I have to fly under all of those wires. Once free flowing stops, a fracked well starts off with an electric submersible pump, then to a long stroke (hydraulic/electric, usually), and finally to a conventional pumpjack. Most of the newer wells will more than likely never be combustion driven since there's already power on site, but on rare occasions you get a unique well that has tons of gas available compared to oil and water. It's more economical and productive to use a compressor and inject that gas back into the well for artificial lift, most of those operate on natural gas too. It's quite a different animal from the old hit and miss style single cylinder engines sputtering away all day and night, they sound much more like a diesel engine when running, a nice steady hum. Of course they're also computer controlled and fully automated, so when they go down you're out there sometimes for hours getting it started again, and they go down for silly stuff all the time. They just don't have the same kind of charisma and character that those old putt putt motors do.
@@Skinflaps_Meatslapper
Hmmm, maybe after the big freeze...
there might be more engines that run when electrickery doesn't flow....
@Maikro Wavee
Obviously for the purposes of these simple engines...
the oil only runs out when the engine stops.......
unless the rod goes through the block, in which case the oil runs out faster....
and it definitely comes to an end then.
Zero RPM, one step forward one step back, one step forward one step back, story of my life , oh well at least the washings getting done !!
you're not alone my dear life hitchhiker, yeah well at least the washings getting done !! Well said !!

Substitute you for my Mum; at least I'll get my washing done.....
that's not even technically zero RPM tho
it's not zero well you add both forward and back to get the RPM there's no negative value for RPM
@@Johnny-tq9no You know what a revolution is don't you
I’m a Brit living in Romania, and occasionally, in rural areas, you’ll see one of these mounted on a self-propelled saw-bench, with a couple of guys taking it to the next job, to cut lumber from whole felled trees.
They’re beasts of an engine, so much power from a single cylinder. You can hear them coming from several hundred meters. 🤣❤️👍🏻🇷🇴🇬🇧
This engine inspired VW Diesel's emissions specs !
Lol
If only it inspired Ford reliability…
Back in the day, this was probably high tech. I wonder what the designers of it would think of today's "engines".
They sure where proud of their work back then.
@@YesterdaysMachinery this stuff had beautiful shaped curved castings with designs and logos in it, even little pinstripes and dress up stuff like that.
What a contrast to the stuff hidden under plastic covers today
@@MrTheHillfolk oh, and dont forget the phrase "built to last"
*Slams fists down on desk*
5,000 rpms!!!! That's three too many zeros!!
@@HvV8446
No bout adout it 😁
When I first read this, I was like zero rpm? Is he crazy? Now I get it.
It's bollox really although it'd be interesting to know what speed it does actually do ! It needs a tacho mark at BDC and count the marks over 2 minutes to get RPM
It is a really cool engine though and I would like to see what the lowest rpm that it can truly achieve.
@@LichaelMewis I didn't watch the video as I've seen a video of another tractor engine 'running' like that.
Being a diesel, it's lowest RPM won't be as low as a petrol engine. A petrol engine can be started by a spark but diesels need a fresh compression of air (which heats it) for ignition.
Same. Then I was like "I see what you did there" lol technically the engine speed can still be measured as rpm, it's just changing directions.
@@c117ls7 If you measure the rotation speed over 90° and multiply by 4, you get rpm without needin a full revolution.
Just a mild revolt will suffice ;)
Thanks for taking the time to explain the function and operation to start and run this engine. The principle is so simple. I find these old engines hypnotic and fascinating, especially zero rpm.
Somewhere in my head an idea is starting to form, sounding something like, "how to turn a rotary saw, into a very slow reciprocating saw."
That's how bone saws work
Holy shit. I'd lose months of my life playing with that.
Yes, its is like a drug.
Is it losing when you actually have fun doing it? I think not :)
Beats the hell out of losing it on wastehook and twatter 😉
The sound of this engine is amazing.
after a really hard day of strategic problems, and multi year plans, so nice to see something start and finish in a few minutes !!! with such great sound and energy... love it !!
Truly amazing what they made back in the day. Incredible manufacturing,lasts forever.
A modern day servo motor will run at full torque, “locked rotor”, at zero rpm. Love this old technology.
steam engine has full torque at 0 rpm
The best way of varying AC voltage 100 years ago was with a locked rotor slip-ring motor whose rotor position could be varied by the angle of a single pole of the windings
@@Jeanie363034 electric motor does as well
@@Blox117 whats old is new again
@@TheJunky228 not really, its just a physical principle. the human arm also produces the most torque at zero. cumbustard failgens just so happen to stall at zero.
I've noticed that the old oily engines tend to last the longest. It seems that the better you are able to lubricate the engines, the longer they will last. I once had an old Honda that burned quite a bit of oil and leaked oil. It had 300K miles on it and ran like almost new. If it weren't for the smokescreen left behind at stoplights in the summertime, you would think it was a fairly new car. I ended up selling it (I regret this) so no idea of the fate of it.
Probably some kid driving the shit out of it lmao I did this to my 400k km civic
I am having a lot of fun watching you work on all these old time engines. My Uncle had about 5 different 1 cylinder engines and we would play around with them. Your videos bring back such good memories. Thanks 👍🙏👍
Thanks! I bet that's good memories. /Richard
I would love to see it with the cooling tower in action.
Saaaaaaaame
10:37 That old girl doesn't want to run at 0, she wants to WORK. Pretty awesome piece of machinery, and your cooling system is ingenious. Thanks for the video- I hope you turned a fan on! *cough* *cough*
Talk about dying from secondhand smoke!
Lol I love how you refer to this as a "little engine". I wish I had some cool old stuff like this to play with
Simultaneously poetic and mesmerising in equal measure!! A joy to watch, thank you.
I understand perfectly. That's exactly how I operate first thing in the morning...ZERO RPM!
This is how you operate when you wake up with morning wood!
Never heard of a zero rpm motor and now I have seen one. Excellent vid. Thank you for the upload as I learnt something new, well old yet new to me lol
I come back to this video every couple months, always interesting
There is something functionally beautiful about such old tech, built to last, when you listen to them, they live and breathe, built rather like the steam engines that preceded them. Great content
Yes, i think so too 🙂
These engines will keep man alive when the zombie apocalypse happens. . I love these old engines have with stand the test of time
All the preppers freaking out about the EMP from an atomic bomb.
This engine "EMP? Never met her. Outta my way, I got work to do."

not really lol these engines have very limited usefulness and in a zombie apocalypse there would be plenty of easier fuels and engines

I am AMAZED and the knowledge the old folks had before electronics...Thank you for showing us this, very very much amused and delighted to see this.
I love old antique equipment like this, the engineering that had to go into this without any computer controls or tech that we're so used to nowadays.
Yes me too! Always works better without electronics.
Cute pfp.
Old motors are so cool. Last 100 years or more years. Today's motors you're lucky to get 10 years out of them.
Idk if this engine is used as much as modern engines
Yeah but a modern engine does so much more work in a thousand different environments, all in a compact size.
True modern engines are not built to last
@@extractorfan2143 true modern engines are built to be efficient Lmao. Try throwing something like this in a car or truck. You’ll have a hell of a time getting it to fit, and an even worse time trying to make any decent amount of power.
Old engines are engineering marvels. A simple concept but complex and precise to make it breath. Thanks for sharing.
i really wanna see the cooling tower in action. you sir, just gained a new sub i love old engines and the history behind them and why they were designed in the first place
Hi from Australia.
Great video, you explanation while warming the bulb was excellent.
Even I have a basic understanding of how it works now.
Keep it running.
Outstanding, thanks for the run and the walk round of the engine and its systems. I love these old engines, They run and run forever. Thank you for sharing, Bernie from England.
Haha ... built so well that they last for ever and run at O RPM ! Work Horses
Thankyou for explaining the functions of this beast!! It’s amazing how this thing is designed.
Thanks 😊
This is the content that should be uploaded this days.
Great job! I love that engine
I work on a lot more complex machinery, and I enjoy figuring out complex problems most of the time, but sometimes I think I was born about a hundred years too late. I think I would have enjoyed working on machinery like that much more.
But then again who knows, no antibiotics then, I might have died from a bad tooth or something in my early 30's
Well I guess many of us think the same way. Have nice day Joe
Good point about an early death, which was much more likely back in the "good old days".
Fewer vaccines then too. Then again, no fallout from all those tests and meltdowns yet either.
@@Einwetok lots of trade-offs. Potentially a shorter life span on the downside. Although being able to work on machines that are actually designed to be serviced, and aren't full of black boxes that the manufacturer won't release any service information for, and being able to make your own replacement parts out of locally available materials with hand tools and a few simple machine tools, not to mention no over complication due to government regulations,,,
I guess I'm looking at all this with 60 year old eyes in 2021, but somehow giving up some years of life in order not to have to deal with miles of red tape and paperwork, and being able to make almost all my own parts without being looked at like a time-wasting idiot seems like it would be worth it
sometimes I think the food we are sold can kill.us. yes, people died of simple things "back then" but now we have 50 cancers

Amazing to watch and just the mechanical therapy I needed on a Sunday morning with a coffee!
Super nice engine. A thing of beauty for sure. I love the sound these old huge single-cylinder engines make. This and the old hit/miss engines. They sure don't make them like this anymore. Thanks for sharing.
My grandfather had a big 30 liter single cylinder engine in his old fishing boat. Took 1 hour to start. Blew nice black and blue smoke rigns out the stack. Sounded a bit like this, only it ran really slow on idle. I don't remember the make of the engine, but it was made in Norway in the late 20's. Great video. The sound brought back memories.
There are some of those floating and running around here on UA-cam. They have a very distinct sound that fits in very well with the bays and fjords.
@@lt1nut do you have a searchable term for this?
@@TheJunky228
From what I remember many of the titles were in a Scandinavian language, which makes it kind of hard but I'd include words like "fishing boat", "troller"(trollar"?), "Norwegian", "Danish", maybe "Swedish", "Norse", "Norsk", "traditional", "local", "restored", and "engine sound" since I believe one boat in particular is restored and known/"famous" for that.
I wish that I could be of more help.
I love how simple yet complex these are
Excellent explanation of the working of the engine!!
Music can listen all day long REGARDS Ziggy
When I was a kid (50yrs ago) my dad would bring these old hit-n-miss engines home from auctions, as a 10yr old I spent hours on these figuring them out, and getting them running THANKS FOR THE MEMORY!⁸
England. What a magnificent beast thank you so much for sharing it with us. I'm 74 and have exactly the same problem when I start my day. Zero RPM. A bit more coffee and wa hey.
Sorry to mention a health thing but unburned oil is a tad harmful to the chest young fella. OK now and then perhaps.
Thank you! No it's not healty, but as you say it is not so often, so i think it is ok.
Im glad to hear that there is people in England that enjoy coffee also. Cheers /Richard, Sweden.
I used to do this with an old two stroke motorcycle and get the engine to run backwards. The fun came when I asked a friend to ride it in to the barn for me and it went in reverse!!! He never rode any of my machines again following that.
As a motor head, I can find alot of interest in this. Thank u sir

Fantastic sight and sound ! I just love that traditional exhaust. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for sharing ,that amazing engine
Today's manufacturing should take a look at themselves for making such junk nowadays everything throw away.
i seen an engine built in the 1800's, a hot air engine with a piston that was about 2feet across was a giant water pump amazing throw in a couple of sheets of newspaper spin the giant flywheel and away it goes for about 2 hours on that little bit of paper then you just add a couple more sheets of paper and repeat until the day of pumping is over and it still runs today
Sounds like a lovely machine!
What a wonderful engine, I could listen to that, all day long. Thank you for sharing it.
You are welcome 🙂
I love this old engine. What a masterpiece of engineering. Would love to have one just to enjoy running it.
Fantastically beautiful machine in all it's detail. Thank you for sharing!

He starts it at 8:00 btw and 11:23 for 0 rpm
You should watch the whole video, you don't deserve to see this thing run at 0 rpm unless you respect it.
Exactly, this video is lengthy for a good reason - it's very informative.
I rather enjoyed how it was explained. I have plenty of attention span to survive. lol. great view of antique tech.
just think.of how many failures and planning till this engine didn't tie up with friction. the stroke length alone is impressive. stroke moves things,
Such a satisfying sound from these old engines!

This machine is genuinely beautiful. I'd love to build something like that
Awesome piece of history! Thank you for sharing.

Really cool, I love those old engines
Very cool, I really enjoy old engines and engineering in general. This is a very cool engine as well as a great and very descriptive video, I appreciate it very much. Seems like it’s a diesel pretty much, with the bulb being a glow plug of sorts. Awesome!
this has been in my suggesteds for the longest of time...i finally clicked it. I love that machine already!
"Zero RPM" is at 11:32 in the video. With the piston rocking back and forth, the engine is at basically net zero RPM. Pretty cool.
The piston _always_ rocks back and forth. What makes it zero RPM is the _flywheel_ rocking back and forth.
@@xenaguy01 If the piston doesn’t make a complete revolution, it’s at zero RPM. Same as the flywheel.
I think they are called "Glühkopf-motoren" in germany wich translates to "glowing-head-engine". Saw one of those like 10 years ago in a museum in bavaria on a school trip.
Yep thats true 🙂
It's gloeikopmotor in Dutch, so the same I guess. In English they call it a hot-bulb engine it seems. I want one.
I have never seen one before, but I believe I can add one more language to the list: Kuulamoottori. That is Finnish. The "moottori" of course stands for "motor". The "Kuula" refers to the iron balls that once were used as shots in the old artillery guns The more present translation for the "kuula" is a bullet.
@@InssiAjaton well the hot bulb at the end of this machine does look a bit similar to a cannonball, so I guess that makes sense.
@@InssiAjaton Tändkulemotor is the Swedish name. "Tänd" is Ignition, "Kule" is bulb or ball and "Motor" is as you probably guessed Engine.
There is just something about the mechanical symphony of an engine like this running.
These old engines were so simple but so massive that they just kept on running. Wonderful really.
Over 100 years of faithful service. The same can’t be said for much of anything produced these days.
On one hand you are right, a lot of stuff nowadays wont last that long. On the other hand, how many of these engines are still being used? And i dont mean functional, i mean actively being used for stuff. If a product will be replaced by better and more efficient technologies every few years anyways, why bother spending money and recources on making it last way longer than that? Instead we should focus on how we can recycle the things we discard so often, taking the recources and using them in new products.
That thing is a beast!!
Old machinery is just awesome. I could watch this all day. would love to see something like this in RL
And people think of fuel injection as a recent thing. This is fascinating, I love these old motors. They used to have old engine shows but that was long ago here. Thank you UA-cam for bringing this history to life.
Diesel engines have used this principle since their invention...
@@JohnSmith-yv6eq True and also regular gas motors often had direct injection, it splashed a dash of gas on the hot bulb as piston approached top.
The Lanz Bulldog tractors were able to run at zero RPM as well (also a hot bulb-type engine).
The Lanz Bulldog will run 0 rpm until the hot bulb becomes too cold for ignition to occur.
MIND BLOWN !!! that is the wildest thing i ever saw lol very cool !!!!!!!!!!!
Those old engines are so cool. I would love to have one just to fire it up once in a while and listen to it run. That engine you have is so well tuned to be able to run that slow.
That is just a beautiful piece of machinery!
