I can watch this video with the best sound system in the world and no one believes me when I say I has the best sound system in the world everyone just gets angry at me

@@tunic7794 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pZ2cq7xyxrDDn6M.html Yea you don’t have that

@@tunic7794 dude.. what? 😅🤣

Almost elegant although quaint.

You mean engineering from 100 years ago😊

Must be a pain to put them out and them light them repeatedly whenever you want to turn or change lanes. (jk)

They don’t blink…..

@@vaclav_fejt Naw, just light a match and repeatedly wave your hand back and forth in front of it.

@@vaclav_fejt there was a kit that actually injected a kerosene mix that brightened the lights momentarily between injection pulses worked on a car that had it (last time I serviced it was 18yrs ago just before the owner passed and left the car to his grandson)

Cool and all but I rather be driving a brand new car at night then this lol

Are you publishing it?

Is it available?

More like headlight fluid, but yeah, I suppose so.

Hahaha right? 🤣🤣

Headlight gas no fluid. Acetylene is a gas not a liquid.

They had to use a lighter to light up the carbide lamps

@@Coolalabright well, in reality there was a flint that probably could be flicked on the outside to ignite the gas. Like a zippo lighter or even a cheap bic lighter does. I don’t know for sure, but I’m sure it’s documented on how the average guy did it when they couldn’t afford a lighter or something

Simplicity yes, reliability no

Overly complex? Why are you taking the amount of engineering that went into a modern car for granted

cool stuff hi junkdeal have you become a flat earther yet? If not I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.

Probably not so bad compared to what they were doing before this vehicle lol

You'll go with a pace like you lost your keys on the road.

At least there was nobody with blinding HID lights coming the other way to ruin your night vision back then.

The old cars had very good views around compare to the modern cars, and also considering they were slow and not so many blind upcoming cars, I think it was not so bad

That was original Carbide lamps, that was how they worked, you can still buy Carbide today and create acetylene by putting water on it.

Then came Prestolite. They developed the method to store acetylene in tanks. Mr. Alison of the aircraft engine fame was a major contributor to the technology.

He probably pre-warmed that engine !

@S2 turbine Oh well, that saves me writing something similar ! They'll all be Americans making this mistake as it's a typical mistake Americans make - through ignorance.

@S2 turbine I guess you could be right - it's quite possibly just the Anglo-Americans. I don't know anywhere else where the people have the inability to understand their own language. I've come across so many unscripted examples - so doesn't apply to TV shows but I can only remember 2 examples: Sully, telling ATC that he was ditching into the hudson - and the ATC guy didn't understand that. The other one was the WTC disaster - when the reporter stated the building had collapsed, the guy in the studio took this to mean the whole side of the building. Take the term 'swing' for instance, when used as a measurement of space - relates to the length of something that could be swung right round without hitting anything and is effectively the radius of a circle - Americans misunderstand this and believe it relates to the diameter of a circle. Another....if I mention, in relation to a car, the 'transmission' you probably incorrectly interpret that to mean 'gearbox'. The term comes from 'power transmission' - and that means from engine to wheels - including clutch, gearbox, drive shafts, differential and finally the 'half-shafts' - the whole of the rotating components between engine and wheels. I've also discovered that Americans call half-shafts, 'axle shafts' - well an axle is a shaft and just as daft as saying windshield window.

@@millomweb "Another...." An ellipsis is made of three dots called ellipsis points. Ellipses are exactly three dots, not two or four. ₚₘₐᵢₗₖₑₑy

@@coloradostrong That's correct. I think the number of dots is more to do with how long I hold the full stop key down. In this case, I got four full stops and zero ellipses.

But better for the horse.

You wouldn't. Roads weren't good enough.

Now that's the pluckin truth. Tailgatin whole masses going fruckin no where

Brooks are you there?

These aren't carbide lamps !

He'll have started it and warmed it up before that start !

These aren't carbide lamps !

@@millomweb still an acetylene flame though.

Automotive wise, nothing worth keeping 100 years

Yep me too. I'm so glad I live in the 21st century instead of the 19th

I heard that MC stood for Motorcycle as it was stored on the handebars. No idea if true. But that looks like a B cylinder he is using there. I also heard the Bus thing.

carbide lights are still used today by cave dives because of their long lasting fuel it's a lot easier to carry carbide and water which doubles as drinking water then a ton of heavy batteries

I was surprised by how bright they were tbh

Almost bright as my 05 neon headlights .. need to change dull plastic lenses.

Yea they’re not very bright

@@terrybyrd3738 Just upgrade to the new Neon, the Dodge Dart.

When I was a kid my dad had a 1932 McCormick-Deering crawler that was set up that way. Small tank for gas, big tank for kerosene. And yes, it also had a water-injection valve!

How clever!

Nearly every tractor from the 20's to the 40's had dual fuel arrangements either on the base model or as an option, started on gasoline and switched over to distillate fuel once warm. My neighbor has a 1948 Case DC which does not have the dual fuel option, but did come with adjustable radiator shutters which if it had a distillate tank would be partly closed to keep the engine at the correct operating temperature despite the lower amount of heat generated by distillate.

That's interesting.

I had a 1935 John Deere B like that. It had a small gasoline gas tank on the back of the main tank. You start it with gas and then switch over to kerosene. I believe they might’ve also called it tractor fuel. This was back in the late 70’s through the mid 80’s. I always ran it on gasoline because it was easier to find.

"Luxurious car !!! Excellent safety !!! Bravo!!!" - is what he said.

hi ilikecheetos have you become a flat earther yet? If not I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.

They were there to keep lit if your car was parked on the side of the road. Lighting them ahead of time meant if you broke down you didn't have to worry about spending time to light them.

So you can still be seen when you run out of gas for the headlamps :) That's why they're not fed from the same gas tank.

Yes acetylene burners were bright, count about 400 lumens for each light. Side lanterns come from the horse-drawn vehicles, so automotive vehicles had to use them by law. Furthermore, car drivers didn't use the acetylene headlight projectors in cities (too bright and useless) so side lanterns remained useful.
