- The first Diesel Engine built by Burmeister & Wain in Copenhagen. It was built in 1904 to drive Machines and a Dynamo in a Factory, and repurposed for a Pumping Station in 1928. In 1943, it was preserved in the Burmeister & Wain Museum and later brought to Diesel House at the H. C. Ørsted Power Station and restored to operational Condition.

I don't agree with UA-cam hiding Dislikes, 737 Likes, 7 Dislikes, 2022-10-23. just so you know what to expect from the Video.
The Video is a bit shorter and less informative than my other Engine Videos. Reason is, that the Engine ran for 5 Minutes only (like all Engines at Diesel House), and thus I couldn't record much Footage in that Time. Unlike with my B&W 2000 Engine Video, I couldn't visit a 2nd Time to record more Footage. Three Things that I couldn't squeeze into the Video:
1: Compressed Air is used for Injection and Atomisation, as the Bosch Pump and Fuel Valve that we know today weren't invented yet back then.
2: Burmeister & Wain bought the License to build his Engine from Rudolf Diesel in 1898. Hence, IIRC this Engine is pretty much a Carbon Copy of Rudolf Diesel's first Serial production Engine.
3: This Engine powered said Factory (IIRC producing Horse Wagons) until 1928, when it was sold and repurposed for a Pumping Station. It was used there until 1943, when a Burmeister & Wain Museum was opened for B&W's 100th Anniversary. When that Museum moved to the H.C. Ørsted Power Station in 2005 (and was renamed Diesel House), the Engine was brought there and restored to working Condition.
Yup, that method is called air blast injection. It's getting another look today, turns out that method reduces soot, emissions, and better fuel economy. But the compressed air supply is a parasitic loss, so it's a compromise like everything else. It was used because high pressure fuel pumps hadn't been made yet like you said, but another reason was so it could run on whatever suitable oil was available. Diesel fuel hadn't been standardized yet.
@@brnmcc01 IIRC, Rudolf Diesel originally intended his Engine to burn Coal Dust. Compressed Air becomes the very obvious Choice then.
Love the video
In 1872 George Brayton made the worlds first commercially available compression constant pressure engine. His engine was named the “Ready Motor” since unlike a steam engine it could be ready to operate in just a few minutes time. In 1874 he modified the design to operate on heavy oils and made a metered fuel injection system. In 1887 Brayton made a four stroke engine which used a variable quantity liquid fuel injection system with a pressure relief type injector. This system is virtually identical to the system Bosch would use 30 years later. This was the first engine to run on the lean burn principal. Brayton’s famous quote is “I have for the first time to my knowledge been able to convert heavy oils into a finely divided mist ready for combustion. I also can regulate the engine speed strictly by the quantity of fuel admitted” Brayton also went on to develop the air blast system in 1892. This engine also operated on the lean burn system. it was basically a diesel engine without the element of compression ignition. Although it has been stated that some of Brayton’s engines would run on compression ignition after they were heated up. Brayton died in 1893 and this is the same year in which diesel applied for his per first patent . Diesels first patent described an engine that operated on the constant temperature principal which required a very high compression ratio. Diesel tried to make his engine operate on this principle and the engine never ran on its own power. Later in 1895 diesel realized his mistake and quietly changed his patent to that of the constant pressure principle which Brayton had pioneered in 1872. George Bailey Brayton is the true father of the Diesel engine we know and love today.
What an absolutely fantastic survivor. Thank you for sharing this incredible engine with us.
I worked for many years in a unit at Newton-le-Willows in England and in the same complex (The Vulcan Works), B&W had a massive unit there too.
It was a sight to behold, some of the massive marine diesel engines being tested there, the sound was wonderful.
The injectors for some of these engines were the size of small motorbike engines🥴
Sadly, like all the other units, it has all gone now replaced by housing.
The Vulcan works was opened in 1833 by James Tayleur (later to be joined by George Stephenson) to manufacture steel girders for the blossoming rail industry.
Later, with Stephensons involvement, they went on to produce steam locomotives, many of which are still in daily use to this day.
This is what started techno music
Got that classic sound like dicks-N-butts-N-dicks-N-butts......
That is a great Engine. And the sound just makes me smile. It's a kind of comical sound.
What a great sound! Thank you for sharing...
IMHO the best sounding Engine on my Channel: ua-cam.com/video/rZkW4A_cOfU/v-deo.html
Thanks, beautiful engine. Just love the rhythmic sound as it slowly accelerates to full speed.
I doubt many modern engines will be around in 100 years.
Probably not. The increased Mean Effective Pressure puts them under much greater thermal and mechanical Stress, and the smaller Tolerances of Parts makes them much more sensible to wearing out.
what a beautiful engine, id be more than happy to have my bedroom near that and and sleep to the awesome deep and harmonic sound it makes,
Lovely engine !. Wain came from Bolton, England.
Fico maravilhado ao ver operando, uma máquina tão antiga, mas que seu princípio de funcionamento perdura até hoje. Parabéns.
That’s one awesome engine sir 🇺🇸👍👍👍
Its one of the oldest operational Diesel Engines in the World. I know of only one older one to bre precise, built in 1903 and located in the University of Göttingen/Germany. There could be more older ones that I don't know of though. If you look closely, you can see a similar two Cylinder Engine (painted black) in the Background at the Beginning and End of this Video. It's the first Engine built by Holeby, another Danish manufacturer that was eventually bought by Burmeister & Wain. B&W was bought by the German MAN in the 1980ies, but all "MAN" Two Stroke Marine Diesel Engines today are strictly speaking B&W Engines, as they replaced the rubbish MAN Engines.
40 hp! What a lovely camshaft.
Very impressive the thing that gets me is the brilliant minds who thought and designed all this from nothing and I suppose it will apply to many other machines over the decades ,old jimmy
👍👌👏 Exactly the right engine for my dinghy! ;-) 😁
Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health.
We have a 30HP Blackstone at our museum in AUS, that uses the same principals, comp air to start and an air pump to keep the pressure vessel topped up. It’s a horizontal engine of course
Does your Blackstone use air to atomize the fuel or is it strictly for starting?
@@johnlucas2037 just for starting, it uses the hot bulb to atomise the fuel
Short, but nice and informative video
Actually a bit too short; there are a few Things that I'd have liked to include but I had to skip them given the limited Footage I could record during the short Engine Run. See my pinned Comment for that.
That engine would run a large boat no problem. and runing like that from 1904. great stuff..
IIRC, there are Vessels with similar Engines. You can check out the Channel Heere Heremtsmaa Jr for such Videos.
Technosounds from Diesel 👍
Sick beat
The Internal Fire Museum in Cardiganshire, Wales has a blast-injection Sulzer (I think, 1912) which looks a lot like this. The principles are much the same as Diesel's original engine. Needs 600 psi air to start it if I recall correctly.
Maybe it's the microphone but it's seems so quiet for diesel engine, I'm guessing the large mass in conjunction with low power and maybe even higher injection pressure helps dampen out the vibrations that make diesels sound so distinct but I honestly didn't know it was actually firing for a good while into the video.
I'm using a decent External Microphone, it's fairly quiet. Reason is the slow Speed and low Mean Effective Pressure.
Nice rainbow socks - the fella up on the machine probably some daughters birthday pressy to dad :)
Or possibly Grandpa. I didn't notice them until you pointed them out though.
Real crude and big by today's standard for diesels. But from what i have seen in life much smaller and much easier starting procedure than the steam engines of that horsepower rating
Low Compression and slow RPM makes for a bad Power-Size Ratio. Regarding Steam Engines depends on if the Steam Engine is kept pre-heated or not. Steam Engines must be hot before starting, otherwise there would be excessive Condensation inside the Cylinders. But if it is already hot, a Steam Engine can be started just as quickly, if not quicker, than a Diesel. The old Gasworks in Schlieren (just outside Zürich/Switzerland) kept a 1904 Steam Engine as Emergency Generator until the Gasworks shut down in the 1970ies. Because pyrolising Coal into Gas requires Steam anyway, there was more than enough abundant Steam to just keep heating the Engine 24/7. Said Engine is preserved operational today, I already covered it in my "Tandem-Compound Steam Engine" Video. Because I don't like the Quality of that Video anymore, I'm working on an improved Re-Upload, where I'm also going to mention that Emergency Generator Story.
How come they only run for 5min they probably barely get warm in that time
Never understood that either. The large B&W 2000 Engine is decently preheated at least, but the smaller ones are literally running cold all the Time.
1:49 40HP @ 180 rpm = 1167-1/9 lbf-ft of torque
Ha, amazing. Roller cam, and overhead cam in 1904. NO pushrods. Can visually see the valve lash adjustment, what is it, 0.125"??
IIRC, an overhead Cam would be right above the Valves and operate them directly without Rocker Arms.
@@Genius_at_Work You might be right but the famous 2 stroke GM Cleveland Diesel aka Detroit used this arrangement with cam and valve rockers. Still amazing for 1904. This was literally state of the art at the time.
@@brnmcc01 There's a very simple Reason for the Cam Shaft Position: No Fuel Pump. When the Bosch Pump came up, the Cam Shaft was moved down to make Way for the Pump.
it would seem proper to call this an over head cam because the cam is at the top of the engine and not in the block
I believe that Diesel engine No 3 was built in Glasgow.
This is only the first one built by Burmeister & Wain, there were numerous other Diesel Engines built before it, perhaps in Glasgow but especially at Maschinenfabrik Augsburg, which built Rudolf Diesel's first Engines. Maschinenfabrik Augsburg eventually became Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg, aka MAN which also happened to buy Burmeister & Wain in 1979.
If you did not point the camera at the window, the shots would be fine. Photography 101.
I’m here in the usa- Rockford, illinois and that is a darn awesome engine sir!!! Don’t see those old engines here in the states. 👍👍🇺🇸
That would kinda surprise me; I know of two similar Engines relatively close to me; a Swiss Sulzer one in Luterbach/Switzerland, and a German MAN one near Hannover/Germany. The latter might be the oldest operational Diesel Engine in the World, built in 1903. The first such Engine that I can think of in America is the Snow Engine in Coolspring/Pennsylvania. Although TBF, most interesting Engines there are in some Vehicles; e.g. the Steamer Natchez or the three preserved Victory Ships (assuming at least one of them sails again). Probably the best Place to see large Stationary Engines is the UK, e.g. the Kempton and Crossness Pumping Stations, which both are near London. Keep in mind how small European Countries are in Comparison though; Germany is about as large as Montana, Switzerland and Denmark both are comparable to Ohio. I used to live in Flensburg (northermost City in Germany) when I made this Video, and Copenhagen is just a three Hour Train Ride away.
Little Update: Apparently, the S/S American Victory in Tampa is scheduled to sail this Year. That would make it the only Steam Turbine Ship preserved as operational Museum, at least as of now. We've got something in the same League in Germany; the Cap San Diego in Hamburg is the largest operational Museum Ship in the World (although the American Victory and the two Liberty Ships are only marginally smaller), and it is the only Museum Ship with a large Two Stroke Diesel Engine. The Norwegian Training Ship Lofoten has a Two Stroke Diesel too (built by B&W, just like this Engine here), but it's not open to Visitors.
39,4 liter
Ja!
Sounds like music.
Then watch this: ua-cam.com/video/rZkW4A_cOfU/v-deo.html
Sounds like EDM
Blast injection diesel?"
Don't know if its called that, but if you're referring to Fuel Injection by Compressed Air, then yes it is. IIRC, Rudolf Diesel first thought of burning Coal Dust when designing his Engine, so Compressed Air is the Method of Choice.
Yes

Your's ancestors don't know the russian. Let's job.
May I have a Crumb of Context? I neither mentioned Russia nor Jobs in the Video.
Meanwhile in africa
That's Denmark
