2:23 you know you got a big engine when you use a fucking tractor engine as a starter

Love how the guy is standing there with a fire estinguisher every time the BMW decides to breathe out

"How many MPG does this get?" "No."

Back in the day, as a young engineering cadet, I sailed as a Marine Engineer on a ship powered by a 9-cylinder Doxford Diesel Engine. It was made in Sunderland in '57. Each cylinder was 900mm in diameter with two opposed pistons: the bottom one connected to the crank as any normal engine and the upper one via a 'cross-head' which drove the crank via two connecting rods either side of the cylinder. In its day it was considered the 'Rolls Royce' of marine engines but perhaps that was a little British bias. It was a beautiful thing. We squirted really heavy fuel-oil into it and the sound of combustion was more of a soft 'puff' than a bang. In Sri Lanka's Columbo harbour they still operated steam tugs at the time - beautiful things and four of them 'put-putted' around us as they guided us into port. Those were the days when tramping around the world's oceans really was special before everywhere became just like anywhere.

Someone, somewhere is thinking can I built a motorcycle around that engine.

"This engine generates more power than some third-world countries". That's quite a statement.

5:11 "I can stand literally anywhere," decides to stand directly in line with the blast radius of the propellers on a 71 liter engine going full throttle.

are we just gonna ignore the fact that *THE BMW VI LITERALLY SETS THE DAMN GROUND OF FIRE*

108,920hp at 102rpm. thats a hell of a thing

4:41 "Will it fit in my Honda?"

Nobody: *D E T R O I T I N THE 6 0 ' S*:

"So, how many liters per hour?" "You mean liters per cycle?"

They should make a gigantic rotary. Or at least a 5 liter one

Geeze, one oil change on that CAT clears out the shelves in Auto Zone in a tri-state area lol.

Nothing can replicate standing next to one of these huge engines while running, it feels like your organs are being jostled around. Incredible.

1:38 "I'm thinking of doing an oil change this week" "Oh, what day?" "This week."

0:50 You know you have a big engine when your intake is an air circulation system

6:17 got a pretty good beat going on

4:14 engine builder: “how much Torque do you want?” Them: yes

Incredible people that were able to design and engineer these beasts.

You didn't search for this, it was in your recommended.

Fun fact, the engine the Brutus uses is the same engine out of an earlier model Heinkel He. 111 bomber

That damn Type VIIc U-Boat engine sound is so characteristic that I got flashbacks from when I played UBOAT for hours straight during the night. That sound meant safety: they only worked on the surface and you only were on the surface when no enemies where around, plus the fact that at that moment you're at positive buoyancy which means that you're out of risk of sinking to the deeps with a leak. It's super comforting for me to hear that fantastic and unique start sound of all the pistons crashing in harmony, producing slower beat than other engines do which results in a relaxing bass beat, instead of an annoying pitch.

The EMD 645 has been the mainstay of America's EMD diesel rail locomotives for a long time. The "645" refers to the displacement in cubic inches - of EACH CYLINDER. Beautiful engines you can hear at any active railroad museum!

Brutus comes straight from Mad Max, but instead of a fire extinguisher there would be a flamethrower

I remember in quite heavy seas one of the cross-heads snapped and though it weighed perhaps three to five tons it flapped on the top of the engine like a piece of tin!. Emergency stop of engines, in the middle of the Indian Ocean at night. All hands in the engine room. We worked about 60 hours round the clock - whilst drifting in busy sea lanes - to take off the split cross-head, pull the connecting rods and on inspection we found the cylinder cracked. So we had to pull the cylinder out too! This thing's internal bore was 900mm and it was perhaps 6 meters high. I can't remember if we carried a spare cyl. liner or whether we got one brought out by helicopter. I know we had quite a lot of stuff flown in. Just decking the pallets from the Helicopter winch in rolling seas was fun. We finished the job. She fired up perfectly (They're started with compressed air to get the thing rolling before squirting atomised fuel into the combustion chamber (made by the two pistons meeting to compress the fuel and air).

3:50 dude with fire extinguisher reminds me of my first job when i was 16 at a bbq picnic place and i had to squirt water onto the coals so they wouldn't burn the chicken. hair would smell like burnt chicken for days.

Netflix: Are you there Someone's Daughter: 1:06

Some years ago it was still connected to the grid, and during a major breakdown in southern Sweden and Denmark, it was used to get the power up again, as the powerplants needed power to be able to function.

Really cool stuff but 5:50 I am always amazed at the trusting souls that stand in the prop arc of really, really old aircraft engines spinning old, stressed props near the ground at airshows

To the person scrolling in the comments: Don't worry, you're not the only one here watching at 2 am when this popped up in recommended

the amount of power these crank, the amount of metal, engineering they have used, the sheer time it'd take a single person to make one of these from scrap, wow

These engines are so huge and loud i just cant imagine being near them without proper ear protection lol

Supra owners be like: "hold my 2jz"

2:28 nice beat boxing, well done EMD 645

For such a big ass engine at 4:50, why does it sould like my 1963 vintage Sears and Roebuck 1and 1 half horsepower outboard motor?

5:39 Is the fella to the right of the screen checking his insurance policy online to see if it covers flying props?

Brutus shows us, why we should not park our cars in high grass during summer.

Currently work with the EMD 645, definitely a fun engine to have my hands on

I listen to this at night. Gives me peace.

6:16 *Kinda sounds like half-life when you hit something with your crowbar!* ( ^.^)

The first engine was just amazing, so big

this is the best TOP..... list i have ever seen no music, no american voice and good info, love it

some random guy screaming "REVVVV IT"

Not to point out the obvious, but I find it very curious, satisfying, and interesting that they put these engines on massive ships, like cruise ships, and battle ships, etc.

6:25 this engine can make beats that no one can make.

Some of them engines make the sickest beat man!

Pretty awesome how these engines built back 100 years ago still run perfectly fine

5:51 rotation per seconds of the fan = frames per second of the camera. (-:I hope:-)

All these engines, still can't beat the mighty 6 cylinder 3.0l VVT-i

I could watch stuff like this all day LOL

How people can even design and then run giants like this is just unbelievable ! There are a few clever people in the world eh ! Great video thankyou. 😁👍

That one in the thumbnail can literally lift 1,000,000 tones no joke

Manager: "How many horse powers can a diesel engine have?" Engineer: "Yes."

There is just something satisfying about it starting slow and gradually speeding up

2:28 Nice Music XD.

"Eh my Caterpillar truck has such a huge engine it has a engine room" xD

6:18 I thought someone was dropping a beat so I start spitting bars!

theres just something really fascinating about these, could watch this for hours

25,480 litre 2-stroke, WOW!!!!!!!!!!! Finally a video that matches the title. Excellent!!!!!!!

6:53 for a split second there I genuinely thought that was going to drop into a sick drum & bass beat

I am going to put one of those in my Chevy.

3:20 The Brutus was on Top Gear (UK, of course). A real beast of a car.

I got to visit a Cummins workshop here awhile ago, they had one of those caterpillar engines and about two other cummins engines out of those huge dump trucks they use at the mine up here, Kennecott. Those suckers were almost as big as the semi trucks they were working on right next to them.

4:14 above the "astro boy"

I like the first engine, but it is to small for a motorcycle.:)))

bmw vI sounds so dope, reminded me a bit of f1 v12 when it first started

Well done. Dynamic AF engines!

6:17 The de la vergbe engine makes some good urban rap beats

Its just me that think some of these are scary af, imagine you are in front of any of them and it starts to overload or anything like that :o

I saw the first one in Person, it was awesome

the first one is legit scary. I imagined getting crushed by those pistons would be unpleasant

Imagine having to do a short block on one of these

The Wasp Major was actually used on a fighter plane: the Goodyear F2G-1 Super Corsair. The F2G was the extremely late-war army variant of the Vought F4U Corsair naval fighter, and even gave some early jet aircraft a run for their money; clocking in a top speed of 431 mph. Compared to the first US fighter jet ever developed, the Bell P-59 Airacomet with a top speed of 413 mph and a cruising speed of 375 mph, the F2G easily outperformed this jet fighter. However the top brass knew that the Airacomet was already an outdated design compared to the still in development Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star and so both projects were axed. The F2G survived as a racing plane after the war and only two currently survive, one being airworthy and residing at the Louise M. Thaden Airfield in Bentonville, Arkansas while the other, non-functional aircraft resides at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington.

lol that one that keeps setting the ground on fire xD

2:59 my neighbors when doing barbecue

The one at 4:12 is pretty crazy, when you stand in front of the engine you can see all the piston heads lifting up a few centimeters when they are on the power stroke. Imagine that all this power 100,000 bhp, actually need to stay in place in the ship... There is some serious engineering going on to make sure it stays there and actually propels the ship instead just prying loose and flying forward. From memory it is about the same size as the one in the first clip. But the first is also pretty special - if I remember correctly it has dual ignition.

Very pleasant to hear on a good Hi-fi sound system !! Just turn up the basses a little 😊

I worked in building the Wartsila Sulzer large two stroke diesel. Those are engines!

3:10 lol this engine making dubstep lmao

1:15 I guess this would be an interesting level for a platform game.

I love the Brutus. First saw it on Top Gear.

As a fellow who still drives a 95 F350 I can say with confidence that all you need is ether and you can make any diesel engine sing.

1:26 The best startup for me.

"There is an engine with an exhaust require a fireman with an extinguisher to run" - if told you this before you watch this video... you will laugh at me !

Most interesting footage. Thanks a lot.

Love those big Marine diesel "Cathedral" engines. So much power

5.6M lb/ft of torque? That's Godzilla levels of power!

You know it's big when the liters are in the 5 digits

that de-la vergne has such an old timey sound to it.

Damn this MAN sound 👌🏽

I could see someone putting this in their Honda Civic

is it loud when you drop it on the kitchen floor at 2am

Beautiful

0:39 “churning out 22,500 bhp” Dodge: awww that’s cute

3:07 "So, you two are an antique race car team. Is it like rally, one driver and one navigator? What are your jobs?" "I'm the driver. I sit in the car and slowly turn into a well-smoked piece of meat." "I'm responsible for putting out the grass fires the car keeps starting every 5 seconds"

*5.6 MILLION TORQUE* _"motivation"_

Wonderfull!!!

incredible

The big two stroke diesel in Denmark has ignition on both sides of the eight pistons - top and bottom.
