Great info. Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I love the history.

This giant 2 stroke probably makes 60 psi of boost in the crankcase alone. when that giant piston comes back down after the high reed valve closes lots of pressure.

Yes, You offer a great trade that unfortunately so many people have no clue how to turn a wrench or work with their hands and fix something. As I'm writing this I have a person asking me about changing out a fuel pump on his truck.

Was it plumbed into a 5000 gallon 2 stroke oil filled tank out back somewhere? What brand of 2 stroke oil does she burn during these demos?

I hear you. I just started a job working with a 30 year small engine necanic. The snow engine in rollag blew his mind.... Later did similar exploring that an ajax is little more than a chainsaw engine on a massive scale, haven't even touched on detroits or hit and miss or hot bulb.

@@jesseamaya4413 Ift thats a small 2 sretoke i hate to see a big one, unless yoy tinker with a wartsilla 1085000 hp 2 stroke. Only lightning is a bigger badder 2 stroke!

It makes the same power like a turboed OM606 Mercedes 3.0 diesel lol. Which slightly less rpms :)

I bet that if this beast matches the rpm put out by the om606, that tiny engine would cry from such a difference in hp. With such low rpm having it only reaching 300hp values means that its got to have an ungodly amount of torque.

@@kimpatz2189 Low rpm is no virtue by itself. But it does help on longevity.

Perfect to fall asleep to! I would've never thought a mechanical sound could be as relaxing as oceanside breeze & tide 😴💕 What well-chosen words for your assessment of turn-of-1900 machinery. Cars, tractors, engines, even typewriters & IBM collating machines (mechanical versions of the computer) were solid & long-lasting. Makes you re-think what modern "progress" really is when you look at today's overpriced, poorly made, short-lived junk Thank You for contributing!

@@dingdong2103 Low RPM (coupled with high torque) need only be increased with gears. 100 RPM was typical max propeller speed for large ships of the time. So, this 70,000 lb. behemoth could easily move an oceanliner. Step that up to 200 RPM (1:2 gear ratio) and wow-wee! Double the nauts! :)

Todays Cooper Bessemer v-16 z-330 2 strokes make like 10,800 hp at only 330 to 515 rom's! The model 32 FB is amzing some had turboes in powerplants.

Yep but it was set up for show. It was running on compressed air. Bro had the thin plexiglas window on a crank case port and a can of WD40 at the ready. I was disappointed it wasn't really a powered run.

@@MetallicMedium it wasn't running on compressed air. Compressed air is the most common way of starting two stroke diesel engines. And the plexie glass window was on the crankcase, which doesn't have a lot of pressure in it aside from a little blow by from the pistons

That engine looks to be one that would have been made in 1900 or 1910

That thing is bullet proff and later torbo models made a lot of power at just 300 rpm's, Today we got the Cooper bessemer w300 10800 or more hp 2 stroke crankcase scavenedd v-16 natural gas ported 2 stroke, i think its a 10 port engine, beyond what you get in your detroi, optimax or rotax 850 etec today.

That exhaust clears up and is over 1400 deg f as this type of 2 stroke makes a lot of heat, the jacket water could be used as a heating a lot of water as a crankcase scavenged 2 stroke can make a lot of heat.

Perfect to fall asleep to! I would've never thought a mechanical sound could be as relaxing as oceanside breeze & tide 😴💕 😳 By far the largest Fairbanks-Morse engine I've ever seen on recording

I would love to hear one under full load rather than the usual demo under no load

these are bomb proof 2 strokes not high revving throwaway 4 strokes of today.

Wilson Laidlaw it doesn’t have injectors. It’s a 2 stroke

Two stroke diesel engines do have injectors. You may be thinking of two stroke gasoline engines, using crankcase compression. This engine may have started its life with air blast injection but would probably have been converted to the more efficient and far simpler, less maintenance intensive high pressure injection at some point in its life. See article here on Morse 2 stroke diesel engines oldmachinepress.com/2012/08/31/fairbanks-morse-model-32-stationary-engine/ This article discusses the fuel injection on these diesels.

Thanks for that link!

@@crazyman401939 Note that the giant two-stroke diesels used in locomotives and ships all have injectors, as do the ubiquitous (but no longer made) two-stroke engines from Detroit Diesel. I can't imagine how you would make a diesel run without injectors of some kind.

I’m

Blows perfect circles..

yes when it's starting up it sounds like a 3 cylinder steam engine pulling away with the double acting cylinders producing 6 beats per revolution same as this is also 6 per revolution with being a 2 stroke, sounds lovely

How many gallons of oil does it hold ? Looks over full to me !!

My dad used John Deere 2 cylinder tractors. I have the same memory of my dad plowing or picking corn until late and falling asleep to the rythm of a 2 cylinder diesel.

You lived that close to a pumpjack with a diesel engine? Also, didn't most of them run on natural gas that came off the gas wells?

@@gregorymalchuk272 Those old engines generally can run whatever kind of fuel you set it up for. Typically would start on gasoline cause that is easier to get going when cold, then switch to whatever was the most convenient at that location, usually natural gas. Our house was less than 2 blocks from a phillips petroleum condensor station essentially a giant water cooler that a high volume of natural gas went through to remove most of the condensables, clean up the natural gas stream. Some might remember the term drip gas. I dont know much about how all that worked but ya a big single cylinder pump was in the works. maybe an 8 or 10' flywheel on it. There are wells that have been pumping my whole life around here. Some of them may have started pumping 30 years before I was born. There is no way in hell a residential neighborhood would be allowed that close to a petroleum plant like that now. It was an old setup when I was a kid, and continued in operation till somewhere in the early 80's I think. Most of the houses around there were provided by Phillips for their employees who wanted to use them. Our next door neighbor worked oilfield his whole life did pump maintainence when I knew him, that neighbor had a big garage full of every imaginable used pipe fitting and valve. I used to go to his house and he would set up a coffee can full of gasoline and I would stand there with a brush and clean the threads on pipe fittings for a while and he would give me a couple of coins to go to the store and get a Coke. My sister still lives there and has an 800 foot deep well with a 10" surface casing right in her front yard. That well was intended for a municipal water supply but they never could get the petroleum smell out of it (Gee I wonder why?) its probably more like 798 feet with the bottom 2 feet filled with plastic army men, hotwheels cars, sticks and gravel. HELLO hello hello. I work about 1500 feet from there on a property that was once phillips OKC executive clubhouse. One building still has the tiles in the floor for whatever that game like shuffleboard is where the gameboard is the floor. I guess that is shuffleboard? I spend 8 hours a day within 50 feet of a something like 28" high pressure natural gas pipeline running behind the building I work in. It was put in oh about 1940 maybe? At my home about 2.5 miles from there I have an 18" petroleum pipeline in my back yard, another around the same size parallel to and another 75 feet away on the other side of an unused rail track and up at the end of the block another high pressure natural gas line running perpendicular to that. In between here and where I work are lots of massive storage tanks, and a station that fills probably 150 tank trucks with fuel every day. Ive been surrounded by rivers of petroleum product my whole life and I drive a plug in electric car, go figger.

It wasn't under load, even if running at full speed it wasn't producing any torque, hence hardly any fuel burn and hardly any pressure when the exhaust port opened. I'd imagine it would be a good bit louder if loaded up.

@@quillmaurer6563 I’m also guessing that it’s louder in person

Was a GM 671 mechanic in another life myself. Thanks for the comments George

@@georgehomenko5358 I have a mobile repair business in Idaho & still get to work on the occasional Driptroit engine for farmers & there is still one 16V-149 Series engine in a crusher that I go over once a year. Just between you & me I'd pay them for the pleasure of being able to work on that one. ;-) Shared to NZHRM Forum.

I never heard of one on a dredge before. Why not. An amazing engine.

6 cylinder

The mass of that huge flywheel makes it smooth running.

This is like a giant snowmobile engines that shakes the ground!

Guess what kinda engines they used to put in big ass boats

That's coz it's NOT RUNNING. it's cycling over on compressed air. If you've seen the WORKING ones being started there's a LOT more smoke and noise. Notice the lack of smoke???

@@OffGridInvestor 1:00 for startup.

a crankcase scavenged in no 2 stroke is no engine to fuck with. 4 strokes be cannot do this unless poppet valved 2 stroke which they are all a want to be, 4 stroke is fake junk power that has no low end torque. that must rev high to servive. the 4 stroke is pure high revving junk with complexity that will break and will not survive for long at peak loads, show me own 2 stroke on total loss oil burnoff.

There are stihle premix 4 strokes but the nissan ud 2 stroke diesels can exceed them and burn off 40w oil as well as the detroits 2 cycles, i just got one for 2500, im rigging up total loss lube burn off on this engine

It’s only idling though, I bet under load it makes a good racket.

Shame that displacement and fuel consumption is 10 times greater than elsewhere .....

Nice to meet a fellow Malaysian that is interested in western tech machinery too

Tokillya1 boohoo

Put it under a heavy load and that all changes.

Yep, that looks pretty sketchy! I'm wondering if they have transfer ports in the cylinders from the crankcase, since it's a 2 stroke diesel with no apparent supercharger?

@@danw1955 Yeah it uses a reed valve and pressurizes the crank just like a gas 2-stroke, in the video description there's a link to a cutaway diagram

Do Germans make massive engines like this ?

@@josephtruxell We had big engines from MAN, Deuz ... but they are not SO massive

Why did you have to say that?

@@jimgoodwin6294 Because, it's restored to better than it was new.

@@grantw.whitwam9948 So? Would you rather it be in a breakers?

OP unifllow strokes

that's not from the rod whipping around....the lower end is used a compressor to draw air in and then blow it into the cylinder above via bypass passages in the cylinder walks just like a modern 2 stroke...

CX

That giant 2 stroke can make way more than 450 HP!

This using crankcase pressure is made to take very high boost air levels!
