+Andrew Polson It IS art, just like Morgan cars that are still made today, or like Chevrolet 2 strokes carburated engines still made today... Gotta love old techs... This is AMAZING!
Back in the day, Steam was the way to go. Smaller and very powerful engines, very quiet-running. But, the only drawback was having a boiler that if not treated correctly, was able to "explode" and kill people anywhere near to it. These early internal combustion engines were safer, but, well, you had to have a monster-sized engine to compete with the steamer. I reckon the salesmen who pushed IC engines, when one could run a Steamer on anything from firewood to parrafin, would have had a hard road to tow. Just for a comparison, check out Jay Leno's youtube of the "Doble Steam Car" . . .that is the tech we should be using this very day
I think diesels started to take over on grounds of economy. Not only were they much more fuel efficient that a steam engine, they also required less manpower to run.
Nonsense. Steam engine has a poor efficiency; in case of a locomotive, terribly poor efficiency because difficulty in recovering heat from exhaust steam.
Thanks for utube I have never fired up one of these… We owned the worlds largest collection of army vehicles but never anything of my families…It is a pleasure to hear this.I do know the sound was designed so that it would not effect you for long periods of time. Our collection consisted of 2000 trucks tanks cannons and 160 cars..100 wagons.
+Jan46 The power to weight of 100hp from 15 tons up to 1650hp from a couple of tons (Napier Deltic) shows how much progress was made with diesel engines in just 50 years. Love the waterfall cooling - but was it originally a cooling tower with enclosed walls? The frame looks as though it could have had panels across it at one time.
+Jan46 hi my 4th great grandfather maried fredrike sulzer and this is one of our engins..we built the first diesel engin with rudolf diesel around 1898..Is this in america. mark furrer ,,,my great ancestor was 1st president of switzerland...
+Jan46 We had a very few Sulzer powered Electro Motive Diesel Super Diesel SD45s a while back. I think ATSF had two or three of them as test beds. I think it is the lack of parts readily available that doomed that idea. EMD parts are all over the USA, Canada & Mexico, but Swiss, German & Swedish Sulzer parts, not so much. EMD has moved production out of the US to Canada & Mexico. Their reliability has suffered, and now General Electric motive power rules the rails. GE's Dash 8s and newer are pretty famous for belching a good fireball on a cold startup. ATSF has some natural gas transfer & switch engines in California. They produce less smog than diesel. The Sulzer Powered (and the even proudly had "Sulzer Power" painted on the front hood) SDs were a good unit. The Mexican EMD parts are so poorly made the Mexicans were famous for stealing the working US made parts out of locomotives sent to Mexico for any reason. They would come back with cracked, broken, worn out, and substandard new parts all the time. Finally EMD just decided to have almost all of their parts made in Mexico or London Ontario Canada. After that General Electric took over most of the US market. D&RGW Ry tried some Italian made hydrostatic drive Krausse Maffi locomotives. They liked to leak hydraulic fluid & break down a lot, so Southern Pacific decided to buy the KMs and ran them back in the 1960s. They would pull the steep grades quite well on Donner Pass & Tennessee Pass, when they were not in the shop for repairs. Again, lack of parts inventory, in the shops kind of doomed the concept. Sulzer was one of the best US/European experimental projects for rail power. Sulzer power showed up on the Santa Fe (ATSF) as early as 1936, when ATSF tried three Busch Sulzer switch engines. Busch was the Anheiser Busch Busch of Budweiser Beer. His deal with Rudolph Diesel allowed him to build locomotives, but neither one could build enough reliable engines, so Sulzer had to step in and fill the void. The 1936 Busch Sulzers may have been a result of a labor dispute that ushered in the GE 60 Ton units.
Sulzer (Switzerland) has joined Wärtsilä of Finland to design the largest and most powerful diesel engine built, the 14 cylinder RTA86-C (80,000 kw). Most are built under license in Korea by Hyundai Heavy Industries and other companies.
This is an air-blast injection diesel engine...it needs two compressors, a high-pressure one (80 bar) for injection and a low pressure one (around 10-15 bar) for starting.
Definitely antique and missing a lot of refinements. (for example the flywheel has no holes for barring the engine round to the starting position) The sectional flywheel which I consider to be a safety hazard alarms me but evidently it works OK. It is probably a hundred years old.
CrazyHHO19 more like decades. These large, simple and slow revving diesels last forever with basic routine maintenance. It was not unusual for some power generating and pumping engines to be in full time use for half a century or more.
I'm surprised at how much unsupported weight there is in the flywheel. There must have been pillow block bearings on either side of it when the engine was in its original installation, right?
Looks suspiciously like it should have an outboard bearing also and there is some visible eccentricity in the flywheel. When the fatigue crack in the crankshaft lets go it's best not to be standing in the path of the departing flywheel......
It'd help to know what the guy's doing, jerking that lever fore & aft up at the right cyl head. Seems to affect fuel injection to one cylinder- maybe a governor setting of sorts? From exhaust smoke coming almost solely from one pipe, it's running as a 1-cyl engine. Anybody know the engine model #?
+Jacques Blaque Don't know it was the first time they took this engine out after reassembling The guy is also known to play with the injectors for the show, have a look at the duvant video the guy opens the start injectors to make it spit flames
maybe this kind a thing my great grand father told me about giant diesel with massive flywheel that he saw killing his friend in sugar Factory many years ago.
Well, gazaziho, some people may not get any benefit out of it, or much else for that matter, like yourself, apparently. Why bother commenting, nobody here gives a shit if you benefit or not. Let's see what you've got on your channel...
@@Lumby1 you have a channel so accept all opinions wether they are positive or negative and be polite when replying. .this is my advice to you l have to tell . Accepted or not that's nothing for me .. Thanks ..
My answer to your question is historical curiosity. Seeing old machinery operating as they did in the past is like travelling back in time. A better time, most would say. A time of unlimited optimism. Man was the creator and master of mighty machines that changed the world.
I saw some videos,,, showing this engines,,, but,, until now,, I don't see what kind of work these machines could do,,,, what kind of use??? ,,, how could be used??? What they do,, what they can do???? Is only an engine burning fuel,,,, nothing else,,,,,,,, causing pollution,,,,,, what a waste,,,,,,
Had to do a little research on this before commenting,Rudolf Diesel worked for Sulzer in 1879,very cool engine.
Why would you dislike this, it's like a piece of working art.

IC engines are far better for vehicles in todays day and age rather than steam engines

This is an air-blast injection diesel engine...it needs two compressors, a high-pressure one (80 bar) for injection and a low pressure one (around 10-15 bar) for starting.
Great engine but why run it for such a short time ? Would have been nice to see different angles while it was starting and running.
Now THAT's cool. You could run a whole factory with one of those...
That is what it was build for...
Pure kinetic ART......

How would they get this engine turn at first to fire it up......compressed air maybe....
Anybody know.
Yes, compressed air
Superb machine
That engine would work well for driving an old sawmill.

than a VW......hahahaha
161 people got caught up in the flywheel, lol
Both cylinder works in unison. Basically, is it a single cylinder, but physically split into 2?
enough brake horse power to change the rotation of the earth
It was ok, starts pretty slow, and blows alot of smoke.
There is a rail car from the Nevada copper belt # 21 that has a 3,010 ci eng that develops only 190 hp
every time the cylinder fires a prius dies

+sniparGP779 Lol I should do the same on my Vw Golf Tdi witj big injectors 😁😁😁
Is that 10 ton flywheel really necessary??? Probably takes 5 HP, just to keep that thing moving! 🤔
Its all about the torque! who cares for a few horses...
Pretty nice!!!!

It's not an engine unless it has a ladder...
Is there a bearing on the inner side of the flywheel, to support that weight?
+Jenkodiesel there is a bearing behind the flywheel
