Rewind Hey ! Thanks again for the compliment :) Yeah, both video and sound quality are important to me. That why i bought a high quality "Rode Stereo VideoMic Pro" to attach to my Hero4. Feel free to share the movies on social media if you like them so much ;) I'm looking for more viewers and subscribers. Thanks allot !! A new movie is processing as we speak, and will be online in about an hour.
Hey buddy, like your videos. I'm a retired engineer, I think you should show em doing prep before the start up. Pre- lube then roll em and blow em, then start up.Keep the videos coming, their great to watch! My last ship had an Akasaka out of a Japanese war ship!
Usually big ship engines are prelubed with stand by pump when engine is not running so oil Flows trough engine when they are at stand by. Engine blow is not needed every time when you start the engine. It depends which engine it is but at some ships there is time limit between need for engine blow.
I was Naval mechanic,,,,i miss that starts,,,and the black smope from the start tand generators running at middle or full load,,,main engines,,,slow(less than 200 rpm),,,,middle(between 200 to 500 rpm)and fast engines(more than 500 rpm) of course ,slow engines are huge with a lot of torque,,bur the durabilituy is very good,,,,cons:very heavy,,,they are used for big ships,,,Sulzer,,,,Man,,,wartzilla,,etc....Sfipping harbors,,,thanks for uploading,,,,Daniel from Argentine.,,,
For the vid, I think it was running the generator motor turning it into a starter and crank the engine... Is the tug Diesel electric with azimuth pods? This is possible... But most and all the time, compressed air always gets the job done too....
Man I love all the quality and effort you put into your videos.

lovely sound
Mmmh nice diesel exhaust
Sound like GE Dash 8,9 and Evolution (GEVO) series start up
Look like old ABC's
Great videos! what port are these videos made? thanks for the upload!
UthinkUknowlol3715 Port of Antwerp
In a nutshell, can you tell me how exactly these giant engines are started?
Compressed air
For the vid, I think it was running the generator motor turning it into a starter and crank the engine... Is the tug Diesel electric with azimuth pods? This is possible... But most and all the time, compressed air always gets the job done too....
@@kimpatz2189 All the tugs he's shown on this channel are compressed air started, and they've got Voith-Schneider mechanical azimuth thrusters
The guy who kick starts that thing must have calves of steel.
