    I worked for Kraft foods in Garland Texas in a plant originally Built to produce Guiberson tank engines the test cells where they ran the engines were 14" thick concrete. Kraft bought the plant after WW2 from the goverment and
    started production in 1949.

      We had a diesel auxiliary engine on our tug boat, it had a big fly wheel.
      The fly wheel had to be cranked up then the clutch released, which started the engine.
      Worked every time!
      If everything went dead on the boat, no electricity, batteries dead, no compressed air, this small diesel engine can get everything started up!

      Radial diesels were used even as early as the 1920's! if they spent money on R&D via the War Dept they could've improved them for aircraft (like turbo/supercharging and Injecting fuel etc) imagine a C-47 with radial diesels using kerosene and 20 % diesel fuel the range could've been extended by a few hundred more miles with drop tanks even more! or a S-55 Helicopter, imagine landing commandos in the Yalu chicom North Korea POW camps to pick up captured UN soldiers ?

    What a stud you are my friend! Thanks for sharing this neat piece of C.I. interesting history. I’d love to see another video going from pickup tube to injector, and if equipment, return journey to tank. Take a minute to show the individual components and direction of flow. Many these days don’t have any idea how any of these work in even the slightest capacity, yet alone what a vane pump, or motor is for that matter as they hold an air impact wrench thinking they have it all figured out. I’m 37 and now a Professor at University teaching Diesel Mechanics Technology for a living, very blessed. These are so fun to see, fun to laugh at the similarities between the odd, new, extreme, mundane, simple, and most complex engine and chassis components out there.

      Packard built radial aircraft diesels in the ‘20s and I think used on ford trimotor planes. Nordberg RTS 1412 is a vertical shaft diesel. Caterpillar converted 100s of Continental gasoline radials to diesels for Soviet WW2 Sherman lend lease tanks. Radial is a strong arrangement and good for diesel application.
      Guiberson was located in south Dallas, Tex. The plant was surrounded by walls and entry by steel gates. When the Trinity River flooded, Guiberson shut the gates and waited it out. Guiberson main products were oil tools. Don’t know if plant still operating.

    • @raygale4198
      @raygale4198 4 роки тому +8

      The gasoline radials made for tanks were quite different to aero engines, different cam and ignition timing, they will idle at low tick over and sound like a very nice, very large V8 engine. Tanks needed torque at low revs for shifting heavy weight, aero engines needed power at high rpm to spin the prop. The radials in a Stewart sound magnificent, we have one running at the military museum I work at.

    it was called the A1020 for airplanes according to Wikipedia this engine was used on the Stinson Reliant. Most of the ones that survive were used in the M3 Stuart Tanks . this type of Inertia starter has an external drive as you can use a crank and wind up the starter with a crank. Not sure what aircraft uses a 3350 engine that uses this starter. as most likely used on a Wright R-1820 used on a Grummann J2f Duck.

      The side you are seeing, is the rear of the engine. It was mounted front facing forward. Driveshaft came out of the clutch and ran forward to the transmission.

    Looks Great! Sounds Great!! Will you PLEASE provide more info on the starter. I have a Guiberson and want to convert it. Thanks JR Smith

      The starter I have is for a 3350 Curtis Wright. I have no source for another.
      Contact BaddaBoomBaddaBing on UA-cam. He has acquired some Jack and Heintz starters. Good luck with an exciting engine.

      You will have to check the starter drive to see how many jaws are on it. There are some differences in the jaw count.
      Mine is three, baddaboom's is 12. Look him up and send him a request in his comments.

    make a perfect replacement for an R-985 in a DeHaviland Beaver. I wonder how hard it would be to fit it with some kind of supercharger (diesels love a lot of air)

    • @justforever96
      @justforever96 3 роки тому

      Not hard. Almost all radials are supercharged, and this is just a dieselized R-985, or something like that. So it shouldnt be too difficult.

    I hear radial engines can be the highest power to weight engine configuration since the crankcase or block is small compared to an inline or V. Is the block on this engine aluminum or cast iron?

    • @MrMikey4026
      @MrMikey4026  4 роки тому

      It is aluminum with steel cylinders.

    Why can't somebody put radial engine on a dyno? It would be interesting to see the power/torque curves of radial engines.

    • @MrMikey4026
      @MrMikey4026  2 роки тому +1

      I am sure that every radial going on an airplane was run in on a Dyno, maybe even twice. But you never see any torque figures published?

    Can you run it on jet fuel since some diesel engine aircraft uses jet a-1

    • @MrMikey4026
      @MrMikey4026  5 років тому

      I think it would do just fine, the only part of the injection system not lubricated by oil is the plunger and barrel.

    They converted a regular airplane gasoline radial engine to a Diesel radial engine? Didnt know it was possible...they changed the cylinders and piston of the original to obtain that?

    • @scenicdepictionsofchicagolife
      @scenicdepictionsofchicagolife 5 років тому +5

      This is not converted. Guiberson engines were designed and built as diesel radial engines

    • @leneanderthalien

      le bailli de savoie: As french i inform you that the french engine maker Clerget did built many radial diesel from 1929 to ww2 in 9 and 14 cylinder...A diesel need many reinforcements because the heawy knoks and the high compression+ a heawy high pressure injection pump= much heawyer as a gasoline engine...

    Wow what a beauty. That is amazing. Could this radial be used in an aircraft ? Or is it too heavy ? Imagine showing up at an airport and asking for diesel instead of 100oct gas ?!?!?!

    • @MrMikey4026
      @MrMikey4026  4 роки тому

      It was, on a Stinson 77. I know of no surviving aircraft versions. There were slight differences between the tank and aircraft engine's.

    • @Heathfx5
      @Heathfx5 4 роки тому

      in an aircraft application, you would just run it on jet fuel. Any diesel will run on jet fuel, the main consideration is the reduced lubrication provided by it.
