In a time that there was no CAD design! True engineers!
Any Rolls Royce Griffon Fans ?
Merlin Fans only
We have both Merlin and Griffon engines in the Historic Aero Engine group.
Any relation to " Peter Griffin " ? 🤣
I like the sound of a Griffon engine over a Merlin........sounds more “ The Business” !
There are two on the front
Can anyone agree that these were by far the best unlimited hydroplane engines of all time. Puts the turbines to absolute shame.
@Larry Dork!!!!!
Das ist Maschinenbau der allerersten Sorte. Tolle Mechanik da lacht mein Herz als Maschinenbauer. Ein Elektromotor, so gut wie er sein mag,"lebt" halt nicht wie ein Verbrennungsmotor oder eine Dampfmaschine und das macht es so schön und einzigartig. Glg Rainer aus Germany. Bleibt gesund alle miteinander.
Those counter-rotating props are crazy, makes it look like a giant egg beater!
These propellers are contra-rotating, as they are on the same axis. Counter-rotating is when two engines with propellers turn clockwise on one engine, anti-clockwise on the second engine.
I want to see one of these trailers just going down the road, operator standing in the back like nothing is wrong, "I'm just out for a cruise in my Griffon powered trailer", lol.
Lawn mower attachment not included.
@@foamer443 Get one of those big slashers designed for tractors and attach it to the crank. Yee Ha!
I mean, who wouldn't employ the services of a Griffon powered slasher?
*_Всех, с Новым Годом!!! Привет из Донецка!!!_* 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Pure Power Just as Good as it gets.
Watching again. That was wicked looking at the exhaust belching 🔥. Those magnificent men and their flying machines. I know these are antiquated. But the unbelievable magic gives you goosebumps. Every time I ever felt the wheels leave the tarmac it was almost euphoric. No, it was and always will be euphoric.
Would be interesting to see one of these on an Everglades style boat. 😲
Yeah but you'd have to put wings on it
@@garyhurley3271 And it would have to be about 30 feet long.
Gotta agree
🤔 .. might be too much of a good thing
That's the dumbest thing I've heard.
I firmly believe all machines have their own life force , their own personalities . They are really nothing more than animated controlled kinetic energy , yet any time I see good people (nostalgic people) restoring rebuilding , and well just giving life back to these machines it gets a bit emotional , it is the fitting thing to do with these machines that have performed their duties . The machines want to run (hell they want to fly again) so letting them breath again and even if it is on the ground gives hope , to us all for a future .
Can't get enough . . . .a winning sound. Touche. And, thank you.
It can be argued that this is the engine that won WWII.
USSR largely won WW2 at tremendous human cost.
Are you thinking the Merlin,
umm , not really .. but it definitely made a significant contribution
@@magnatron7734 《☆》I'd give it to the Merlins, Packards & Wasps😎🎱☮🔊✌👍🏾
3/4 of the war in Europe was on the eastern front .
The Engine at 2:44 is Very Nice 👌😌
I have been amazed for a lifetime at the level of development aircraft had achieved by the close of WWII. We weren't even 50 years into powered flight and yet we were screaming through the skies at over 400 MPH, while 70 MPH in a personal automobile was "screaming" on the open roads in most places. And the jet age was thrust (pun intended) upon us almost instantly and fairly well developed and maturing rapidly less than 2 decades later. Why other technology stayed almost antiquated by comparison for so long always was a mystery to me.
The Miss Budweiser unlimited hydroplane used griffons in 79'-85', 4000 hp!👍✌
The cylinder sequence is class
Cool Straing sounds!
Ah, reminds me of my old '67 Beetle on a cold morning.
First it blew of his safety goggles ,then his hat, then his hair ,then his eybrows, operator last seen flying over Dover
Then his head.
@@lkytdsvc he should have quit while he was a"head" 😲🤣🤣🤣
Put a roll cage, a seat, and some good brakes on it. I'll drive it to work. This is my dream.
Hey Nick, I have flown in a spitfire at Biggin Hill, eye wateringly expensive, but a once in a lifetime chance. You get the chance to fly it (joystick only) but you can bank it left or right, you also have the choice of doing a barrel roll (a must). The one I flew in was MJ772. Check the videos on here, just type: in fly a spitfire.
@@tonyhughes1751 This is the real dream. I've only done simulations. Would love to fly it for real.
The guy at the end though...Savage👊
The sound of freedom
Very cool love that sound.
Saw a P-51 air racer in Florida with a Griffon and counterrotating propellers .
There were a few of what was called RB-51 or P-51XR that raced at Reno with Griffons. Red Baron, Mrs Ashley 2 and the one you probably saw Precious Metal that caught on fire after a refuel in Texas I believe while heading to Reno. None of them can match a race prepped Merlin Mustang . Though the Precious Metal team thought that they had the correct engine combination the year they lost the airplane.
They are called contra-rotating props. Counter-rotating props are a very different thing.
My kind of cooling fan on a hot day.
was anyone else waiting to watch lift off?
Very Cool《☆》😎👍🏾I never heard of Griffyn till now. The counter-rotating props would indicate post WW2 era. The RR Merlin has Big respect here in USA♡:*:♡Greetings from⛾Florida🤳my friend😎🎱☮🔊✌👍🏾
Or inspired the engines in the TU-95 Bear.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-95
The computer speakers just can't do it justice. Think about the sound when the only exhaust is a couple inches of pipe. The second one didn't even have that, right out of the heads or maybe a short piece with a little fire. I'd love to see one in person.
Someone should install a seat and steering, and have one hell of a go kart😂
That be out of control men can you imagine how much you trashing around you could do boy that be a sight
@@davidslefort6541 Rolls Royce Mechanical Bull
The first video segment had a chair and wheels on it. So that particular set-up should meet your go-kart request!
The sound of WW2
Impresionante !!!!una pena estar tan lejos !!! Un saludo desde Argentina!!!!!!
Griffon Engine doesnt get enough Credit. The "Merlin" was & still is a Awesome Aircraft Engine. The Griffon was bigger cubed hp & tq figures. And the Contra-rotating Propellers were Fantastic. Wish l had the Cha-Ching to own both the last of the Merlin & Twin Prop Griffon Powered Spitfires. And a P51 Mustang as well.
Music! A big "middle finger" to tree hugging, hummus eating, Prius driving, carbon-footprint cultists...
2:28 next to fly away will be what’s left of his hair!
Sounds so smooth
Gorgeous engine!
I saw the guy in the helmet and i thought. "Spaceballs".
just cannot understand why these people run the engines without propeller cages, all it takes is someone walk into it.
Because Darwin -maybe it will happen , maybe it won’t ....if you add up all of the prop strikes in history , lightning ⛈ will get your ass first .....pretty good track record 🤣
Mechanics and ground crew walked around these running all the time . Carelessness doesn’t forgive
These engines seem to start pretty easy if you know what your doing..
Airplane sold separately.
Yeah I know the blades are shortened, but one of these days one of these things are going to take an unscheduled trip.
Fuck it wat a way to die.. killed by a bit of history
@@nickjohns1192
Well, if it stops quickly, it won’t be painful as you get launched through that mix master🤪
@@SkypowerwithKarl your family could put a smart comments on your head stone.
Guy Martin put his Merlin through a wall after winding it up a bit too far.
along with many other available videos about the RR designs- Thanks for helping me not have to learn German-
I have yet to see ANY names of the guys on the design team . . .
They deserve a shout out, maybe some pictures and the names and such.
Inspired, unsung, HEROES!
These are amazing! They are moving a lot of wind. What’s keeping the engine from taking off?
.......brakes?
Air brakes
2 Giant steel Balls
@@j.m.5995 🤣🤣🤣
01:45, you can see on the left Rick Harrison (From Gold & Silver), he was there to evaluate and buy!
He was waiting for his budy who is an expert to have a look then offered him 100 quid and said he's doing him a favour.
They're about as cantankerous as my old tractor in the spring. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
MMMM......SOME GREAT "STRAING UPS"
In America at least one of those heaters( engine( have a Kmart ice crusher / blender driven off the end of a camshaft like a oil pump or distributor would so that proper Fufu sweet snow cone like alcoholic drinks could be made for the garden party that exists when the thing is being lit off
If you want to find out how Merlin output power was increased so much during WWII read a book titled "Not Much Of An Engineer" by Sir Stanley Hooker - legendary Rolls Royce & Bristol engineer.
Thoroughly recommended! 👍
Thanks for that will give it a read.
It had to do a little with Sweeney, Texas. Alkalization. 110 octane. Aviation racing fuel. Good old American chemical engineering.
Very nice! But when I see the engines on a soil I think it is a man without eggs. Better the wounderfull engines in a airplane.
We had one of these at my college man are they loud irl.
RUN THAT SOB LIKE YOU STOLE IT COME ON MAN
Couldn't help but notice that on the last one the trailer was inching forwards!!!
And at only 20% power. Yikes.
Can you run those engines without propellers attached to them? At least operator wouldn't need to worry about his haircut being ruined
That's a good question , I don't know the full answer , but I do know that the props have to be precisely balanced so as not to cause damage to bearings and internal engine parts , how ever I do not know if removing the props would cause an in-balance or not , my thinking is there might be something to this though as every presenter has props on the engines . (if I find anything about it I'll PS:) .
It would probably idle high without it.
@@timc333 I've just did a bit of research on this. I've found out that propeller acts like a flywheel. Without it engine will overrev and cause a lot of damage
But, I'll like to hear from someone who actually dealing with these sort of engines
fast lawnmower I think I need one soon cut and blow lawn
How do the propellers not interfere with eachother? Not physically, but with the air oscillation? Probably not the right word. Does anybody understand what im trying to ask?
My new fav
Now that’s a lawn ,mower!,
Griffons went into the Spitfires, the Merlins then went into the P-51 and it was the start of the end for the Luftwaffe.
Merlins were in early spitfires. The griffon came later, near the end of the war, well after Battle of Britain
You'll find that most of the Spitfires, Hurricanes, Mosquitos also were 'Merlin' equipped.
must be bad ass if you have to wear a helmet just to start it.
That last guy!!!
When jobs and the other side to side ya allah imagine when radial engine was still production until 2021
Does anyone know the cam spec's on a griffon or a merlin. The merlin and griffon both sound like they have pretty healthy camshaft specs
Pra que serve mesmo ?
Where are you from guys ?
USA
Woodland Washington USA
New Zealand
Sweden
Switzerland
Your sure you tightened the prop bolts right???
Interesting to hear the beastly Griffon "in action". I always understood that the Griffon powered Spitfires could be sometimes quite a handful for the young pilots so powerful it was, nevertheless it was an engineering feat for the Rolls Royce as they managed to make the engine marginally larger than the Merlin in spite of 36% larger capacity of 37 liters than the Merlin.
I once owned a 7.6L Ford Galaxie and the fuel consumption on that barge was alarming - imagine the fuel consumption on these monsters! You'd need a chain and bucket system to keep up.
These things are rated in Gallons per minute more than likely

ima stick one of those in a prius
*_На _**_1:18_**_ собачка перепугалась._* 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Hell yea - now that's a lawnmower!
This is what Guy Martin's wife shows him on a Saturday Evening
Do they make a two stroke version ? I need more rpms !
The propeller(s) limit the speed. same as the big bypass fan on a aero turbine (jet) engine
Why don't they have exhaust manifolds or headers or pipes.
Powered the Avro Shackleton long-range maritime patrol aircraft.
Use to see these in drag racing also
Was that Nick Graces spitfire at 4:30. In the background
I need to slice up some potatoes hold on while I back up my truck full of potatoes
Where can I get one?
Stopped just when it was getting interesting..... BTW... 37L on a V12 means that each cylinder is over 3L..... Wow
Would be funny if it started cruising down the field
2:28 from 30 to 45 years old to in 2 seconds
Any idea how much HP these engines had.
Around 2400 hp
I love the chop sound off the Contra-rotating props.
That's what these are, contra rotating props. Counter rotating required 2engines. Like the right engine spins one way and the left,the other.
Tom, no sorry, the contra rotating props were introduced to counter the torque swing on take off, also to increase the performance of the engine, instead of one larger propellor, and by the way, there is only one engine.
@@davidmichaels8934 I know that,that's what I just said. One engine 2 props that spin in opposite of each other. I just like the sound that these cut down test props make.
Is there any reason why there is two propellers going in opposite direction ?
Its because of the massive torque reaction that occurs with small planes with powerful engines, the engine will spin the plane as much as the prop with a single prop, the contra rotating props cancel each others torque reaction and make the plane much easier to fly since you don't have to cater for added roll caused by the engine and prop
@Gormmm You are extremely rude
@Gormmm Your one word reply was useless, my reply is correct, there was no need to be a fucking bell end
@Gormmm en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_effect#:~:text=In%20a%20single-propeller%20plane,direction%20of%20the%20propeller%20spin. Tosser
Its due to trying to get more blade area onto a 2450hp engine without the propeller tips going supersonic. It counters P-factor to some extent, but doesn't cancel it completely. Various things were tried; some which were retained such as differing front and rear propeller diameters and blade pitch.
Donate that engine to the Tsunami rebuild project.
Make great lawnmowers.
Anybody got a good definition of straing?....my father worked on Merlins in the Philippines in ww 2 and never used the term... Google was no help.. thanks
I dont need that setup. I would be too tempted to wick it wide open and my butt would be gone. Lol
Guy Martin should join you guys with his restored Spitfire engine!
Be naughty hooking that upto a spitfire
First he loses his face shield and ear muffs, then he loses his knit hat. It obviously was his first day at the controls???
Look up the Griffon Budweiser hydroplane at the Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum to hear a Griffon really doing something.
What's "COLD STRAING UP" mean?? Nice motors though!
Nothing like breathing in Carbon monoxide
I think I would want a plane to go with my engine.
Greedy
@@Make-Asylums-Great-Again 😀
Sadly my wife wouldn't allow me to have one of those.
get rid of the wife and have a life.
earmuffs and cap gone? check , woolen hat gone? check, alas , If only he wore a toupee !!! for four of a kind !
Thoroughly bad-ass
What’s the helmet for😂
