Bro imagine if this guy heard a lawn mower running ‘it’s just so beautiful I can’t get enough of it’

My favorites are the Rolls Royce aircraft engines….that sound gives me goosebumps 😂😂

'Like a musical instrument and I get chills every time I hear it'? You lead a very full life.

That1936 Fairbanks-Morse engine looks like it has four cylinders, not six.

Couple engine comments. Back in the mid 1960's when I was a teenager I visited my Aunt in Smackover Arkansas. She took me to an oil field outside of town and showed me the layout where a huge hit and miss engine was running and pushing and pulling rods that fanned out from it to a number of oil well rocking beam pumps. All of them run by this one engine. She told me how as kids, they would come out here and 'walk the rods, balancing and walking on the steel rods that first went one way and then came back. She then demonstrated by getting on one of the moving rods and walking like a stroll in the park. She was 84 years old at that time. I went back around 1988 for my uncles funeral with my family and we looked at that oil field, it was all gone, had been reclaimed and had trees and foliage on a place that used to nothing but many acres of oil soaked land. In my work, I had two of those Detroit diesels back to back turning a 150KW generator. On a routine start and run up for maintenance, both diesels ran away and and the overspeed failed to shut them down, the generator fan came apart and blasted out of its housing peppering the walls of the engine room with shrapnel. Quite the event to be in there when that happened, and boy did those engines scream. Luckily nobody was injured. Neither diesel was damaged, a new housing and fan installed and back in business, after replacing the bad overspeed control.

Me too, I absolutely love the sound of engines, & I've loved my life spent among them as a mechanic & builder, earthmoving, marine, Aust roadtrain operator, motorcyclist & owner of hundreds of them. American, British, German, Italian, & I remember my unique experiences with all of them. Thanks for the vid.

Hi! I too share your passion for all ICE’s! As an ex marine engineer I worked with Paxman Valenta and Ventura V16s. We used to say “ ….if it isn’t leaking oil, it hasn’t got any oil”. My favourite is without doubt the Lister engine so sweet and so reliable. A good friend of mine had a small yacht with a Lister auxiliary single cylinder engine (his iron topsail!) and the starting routine was almost religious! PS:- only kidding but you nearly ran out of superlatives after that ethereal Fairbanks motor!!!!!! Subscribed, cheers!

I have been an engineer all my life and to me these machines are MUSIC - I can actually FALL ASLEEP next to one it is amazing! Especially the big Fairbanks Morse engines!

I love to positivity of this video. My dad loved engine sounds and I attended many antique engine shows in my life. From a maytag washing machine engine to gigantic single cylinder engines I remember the pulsing and rumbling of those old machines. Lots of familiar sounds here. My dad also liked tractor pulls not for the pulling of the sleds but for the wide open throttles of those giant engines straining down the track.

i love how big ole engines from the 20s still work, theres a lot of old world charm there :D

That's Fairbanks Morse is like an industrial accordion!! Just beautiful.I was on Submarines during my military years a fast attack boat and we had a Fairbanks Morse diesel engine aboard for emergency ventilation amongst other things but no sweeter sound that a Fairbanks Morse purring a long.. Thank you I really enjoyed this.

5:22 -- That's some killer techno beats right there.. Someone needs to sample this!

I love the amazement of what man built some 100 years ago and you know some of these were first time builds and prototypes…..incredible 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

What a amazing walk down machine history. I can see how it all started with Rudolf Diesel original concepts to those fun sounding morse engines to today. Here they all live for us to revisit, thanks😎😎

Man, the ole 8v-71 Detroit Diesel. It is music to my ears

The guy that truly loves the smell of a smooth running engine.............2:05

Thank you for putting this together. The Detroit Diesels sound like American industrial power to me. I also love the Rolls Royce power plants. That story is the true story of innovation and excellence. All of these engines are fascinating to me, to single out just two isn't fair to the rest, but my time, is limited unfortunately, Thanks again!;)

The Fairbanks Morse Model 32D engines in your video appear to be four cylinder, not six. The Air Start operation was performed by the operator using a bar in the flywheel holes to turn one cylinder to just past Top Dead Centre. Compressed air was then released into that cylinder, pushing the piston down to start turning the engine. The other cylinders then fired in sequence by compression ignition. The bar was not used to "inflate the cylinders with air".

Great video, those rolls royce engines sure do purr but the sounds from the 2 stroke Detroit's make you stand up and salute!!

I was waiting for the Commer TS3 knocker engine. A two stroke, three cylinder diesel with six horizontally opposed pistons, with a blower. When I was a kid these engines always made a different sound to anything else but I never knew why. I know it's a matter of personal preference, but for me it's a toss up between the sound of a RR Merlin or TS3 as number one. Thanks for uploading all those great sounds.

i can't believe that guy starting that lister engine with his face right in the exhaust smoke and does not move,

Some very impressive technology there I wish I would have their knowledge!

When I was a young child I the 1960s our family would visit my widowed grandmother. On her rural property was a joinery and woodworking shop my grandfather had built. Every machine in the shop was belt driven off a single wooden shaft that ran the entire length of the building. Outside was a large belt driven flywheel but the driving engine had been taken away. As kids we would wind up the flywheel by hand and take turns using the machines inside. Looking back we were lucky not to have lost a finger or two.

Awesome video 👍👍👍. Never ever get tired of hearing a 2 stroke Detroit. I worked on 2 strike Detroits and Deutz air cooled V engines used in underground mining equipment. Those Deutz’s are good engines but the parts are spendy . Also the Caterpillar D399 engines are a hard pushing SOB. I worked on a lot of them in tow boats on the Columbia River System. Nothing like hitting the Air Start on a V-12 D399 and hearing that engine roll over, it was like a 12 inch diameter steel shaft on bear steel, it was kinda nuts, but they fired right up. The fuel injection system was not to great compared to today’s engines and they pull out a lot of black smoke like all diesel engines did. Nothing like standing on the deck of a towboat at 7 am a fall morning on the river crisp clean air , the smell of beacon frying on the stove in the boat’s galley and your out on the rear deck with a cup of hot coffee and they light off those D399 with the black diesel smell smoke mixed in with it all, doesn’t get any better then thst,👍👍👍👍.

Thanks for putting this video together 👍👍

5:19 the bar in the flywheel was not to inflate the cylinders with air. This was to get the engine barred over into starting position, at which time the cylinder valves would be open so there would be zero compression allowing the task to be completed.. The air for starting came from an air compressor and tank that was precharged prior to starting.

Most of those big bad boys should be put in museums for future generations

Those captions are so amazing i can't help but be excited about the words it says!!!

i can listen to those fairbanks morse engines all day long, just so beautiful, not big hp but could turn over a building . if you got to close to that flywheel you would have a bad day fast.

Took shop mechanics in High School. 3 hours a day every afternoon my senior year. That was 1973, now I am 67 and thinking about buying a small briggs and stratton mower tomorrow... Bought a new house with a 3/4 acre yard, grass getting away!!! Never regretted Mechanics shop, never dreaded coming to class and we got to take things apart put them together and lots of humor about little things that did not quite make sense. Once you know the deal, all engines, especially 4 cyles, follow a logical conclusion. However with modern engines and the computers, more like running a background check and then replacing electronic components. In those days a feeler gage a certain kind of twist with the wrench and listen for the best sound heard from the engine to include, exhaust, valves, and rocker arms. Big engines designed to be tinkered with and to be maintained. Never let you down, and amaze you with their sticktoittiveness!!!

I had a pair of Paxman 12-YHAM engines. 60litre V-12, but unmanageable by one person as (boat) propulsion engines. When built, they were run at valve-bounce speed for 3 days before shipping. I grew up on a barge that had a 3-cylinder Bolinder. It was supposed to be air-started, but as it wore, my dad put a pulley in the side of the engineroom, wrapped a rope round the flywheel, then to be tow-bar on our LandRover

I remember seeing an old "steam engine fair" at Belvoir Castle, Leicestershire, England, back in 1977. and it so amazed this young American Airman that his bucket list is topped by a return to Belvior Castle and the magic of those steam engines of years past.

👍😎 Many years ago, I recall a tractor pull competition with one that had 2 Alison V12’s that sounded bad ass.

A great collection of engines

I may have to play this video every day!

Why did I like this so much? It must just take me back to my roots or something I guess.

Those are some real gems! Ive got a 1948 international harvester (5hp) i fire up every so often just to hear it purr. I've even recorded it for my ringtone, lol. 👍😉

Awesome my father had garage when I was growing up, knew loads of people who raced cars and boat my last job was building race cars ,my grandson loves sound of loud powerful engine's

That Detroit 12V71 sounds awesome. I'd love to hear it under load

I love that at 4:11 the Fairbanks Morse casually blows smoke rings, then full bore spits smoke rings!

These antique engines are the engines we will have fight over when zombie apocalypse happens.

I ran a Unit Rig Lectra Haul 170-ton truck with a V16 Detroit. That thing was amazing. Compared to the CAT and Cumnings engines, it was just instant power. No wind up nessasary.

Really cool ! I can almost smell the exhaust .

The one at 10 min was bananas. And a blown 540 in a car? That’s basically a monster truck motor. Sounds sick.

BEAUTIFUL SOUND OF ALL THESE P;D ENGINES THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE VERY OLD THEY STILL WORK LIKE A SWISS WATCH.

Thanks for posting TF. Just like you I love these old power units, especially the one that blew smoke rings but for the sound, my money's on the beast at 9:39, such a mesmeric sound and tone. What I find so funny is on the newest battery Ferrari they want to keep the distinctive sound and have to make something up that'll work like the real thing. It's wonderful & impressive to see these old beasts still working and being lovingly cared for, but it's the old Rolls Royce aircraft units that floats my boat and I'd love to put one into a motorbike frame. In my work as a lime plasterer we had a diesel motor powering the works 2 ton pug mixer. This was 2 metal rollers rotating on a shaft on top of a metal base and we'd shovel the sand and slaked lime in with the wheels which would crush any big lumps of aggregate in the mixing mortar. The only problem was starting it, you needed 2 people, one to turn the starting handle and one to flip the switch when the person on the starting handle said to do it.

Working in the oilfield on drilling rigs; open hole. The job I preferred was what they called a motorman. I worked around these "Screaming" Detroit v8s. Workhorse. They had Caterpillar and even Waukesha [ run off wellhead gas.]

Very cool video. I'm surprised that some of those operators are still alive with all the fumes.

WOW amazing! Every motor was amazing, looked amazing, sounded amazing, according to the amazing chap, who presented this amazing item. Amazing! 😎

I liked the sound of my dad’s old Massey Ferguson tractor, made sometime in the late 1970’s - and then driving it when I could finally push in the clutch! I had to use by entire kid body to manipulate it.

That 1936 Fairbanks Morse sounds like something Willy Wonka would have in his factory, I love it.

2:03 That guy in front must have breathed out diesel exhaust for about a week. And his hair and face must have smelled wonderful when he went home to his wife... :-)

was in the UK on a train platform when a Napier Deltic powered train went past, i still remember that awesome sound

In my opinion, the first one sounded the best and the others just sounded like the tractors and combines that i go to listen during the summers in the country.

2:02 That engine is going to outlast that guy's lungs.

I LOVE the sound of steam engines, gonna edge to this video. Thanks!

I'm convinced that it's these engines and others like them that influenced the development of music in late 1800s including Jazz. They revolutionize the concept of beat.

Cool video. I like the mix of vintage and modern engines. some radial engines would have been a good addition.

Svaka cast pravi ste bravo za automehanicare to samo napred jos lepsih snimaka zelimo da vidimo hvala.

wow, would never have spotted the massively obvious engine on the thumbnail if it had not been for that big red arrow .... thank you so much !!!

04:10 a 6 cylinder 1934 fairbanks morse engine with 4 exhaust ports and 4 cylinders! frikken genius!

I usta run an Atsego (I think that's what it was called, it's been 40 years) it has a 3 phase mother, and I had to pull the fan belt when it was cold!! I miss that job!!

I use to work on those old Detroit 2 cycle diesel generators like the one in the video. Lots of smoke and pollution. The Suffolk county water Authority had a V16 2 cycle diesel at the old Brentwood pumping station. It had a 2’ diameter exhaust pipe sticking out of the control building. It would fill a foot ball field full of black smoke when it started up.

Before I got married I use to commercial fish with my future wife's family and her uncle had a 671 Detroit in his 41 ft boat. We called the engine Georgia milk cow? Anyway I would lay in the bunk at night while running wide open around the Keys and it would sing me to sleep I loved the sound of that engine.

100 years from now, all gasoline engines will be in museums.

A 1936 Fairbanks Morse built in 1832 as a 6 cylinder engine with 4 exhaust outlets.....that really makes sense here..

Did I see G. Thornburg in tbe audience enjoying the lovely sounds?

Something cool about engine sounds….. Enjoy them while we’re allowed to…..

Smack that la la the Morse engines love em.

I love Sunday's

You make it sound like you want to sleep with those engines

A great big YES on the Detroit Diesel: they are music. But these are all pretty awesome.

I love sounds of machine in old buses

Great engine video. Keep all the stats comments plus your first loving the sound and delete all the rest. We don't need know every time how much you love them - we love them too.

Was on a mailing list for GSA auctions back in the mid 1980's. One list offered an entire lot / group of 426 Chrysler marine Hemi's from the US Navy. Unused, still in the factory crates. They were complete setups with all manifolds, pumps and hardware for installation. Probably sold for a fraction of their real value.

Nothing will ever replace internal combustion engines. Nothing. They are living things and you can't convince me otherwise.

Indeed,my mind is blowing.........

Totally awesome

Rather interesting how the two Fairbanks engines has a musical rhythm to them before getting up to speed, almost like a brass instrument.

I realize these machines are antiques however I recognize many cast iron parts very similar to castings I poured, cleaned at McNally Pittsburg Foundry 1979... for the oil field and coal industry. Especially the big flywheels. I was involved with every step except core setting. We specialized in heavy difficult castings . I never got to see the castings assembled or painted.

I think it's the sound of realised potential and promise.

That first truck after 9 months 🤱

02:01 dude! Move your face!😂😂😂

музыка для моих ушей❤

1936 faibanks sounds like the best techno

That ratrod engine! Wowee!!! That’s power

music to my ears

Deutz is love, Deutz is life.

I can't imagine having to work all day next to one of those engines.

Video: "It's like the music of the gods!" Engine: "Putputputputputput."

I can remember pump jack motors in the oilfield

Not just the sound but the smell. The smell of diesel fumes coming from a big locomotive engine in full roar is my favourite smell. That's the smell of power, the smell of get the hell out of the way or get squashed!

Video meraviglioso… guardato tutto d’un fiato… grazie

12 v 71 Detroit, the buzzin dozen

A farmer friend asked me if I could try to get an air cooled V12 Deutz Diesel engine running for him, the engine powered a mobile crane that had sat in one of his fields in all weathers untouched for over a decade, I checked the oil level and worked the fuel lift pump until I felt fuel pressure, then with a new battery on it, I gave it a crank on the starter to see what would happen and incredibly the engine started straight up and ran perfectly with almost no smoke! I formed a strong impression right there that these V12 Deutz Diesel engines were very well designed and made..

Super sound

You overlooked the all-time best sounding engine: The EMD 16-645E3. 45 degree, 2-stroke, V-16 locomotive prime mover.

That 1936 fair bank engine , I wish to have the opportunity to reset the injectors to make it running very clean, it deserves it, too bad I am several thousand miles away from it.

Awesome video, much appreciated

It's got a good beat and it's easy to dance to.
