Wow, really? The audio on this video makes much of the speaking indiscernible. The other videos have been pretty good, but the host's (first presenter) delivery on this one is fast and sporadic, to the point I can't understand half of what he was saying. Added to that is weak audio recording/post (the recording needed some serious EQ) And... well, I've been an audio producer for network productions for 37 years, so I'm not just blowing smoke. It was just so funny to see this comment on the episode with the weakest audio of them all. :) Otherwise, they are generally well done, for sure.

There was a time, way back before the internet and before KZfaq was dreamed of where I thought my love of AFVs was a bit strange and unique, now I see that there are so many folks all over the world who not only share my interest but have been bitten by the bug far worse than me. As an older fella I'm just very grateful that I live in a time where I can visit the Tank Museum from the comfort of my home in little old New Zealand at the bottom of the world and get these amazing tours of the workshops etc hosted by these wonderful guys explaining what they are doing and why, it's just such an enjoyable treat especially as I've got less mobile with age. Thanks guys,

Looking at that Maybach... All too often, we reduce the engine to a mere abstraction of horsepower, reliability and fuel consumption, and little else. But seeing it first hand, its components, the workmanship involved, how much effort and precision it took to manufacture... it is really something.

@deepbludreams 5 жыл бұрын

@@VRichardsn Perhaps i said that wrong, It's more so that every vehicle the 230 ever was in had serious problem due to over stressing said engine, the many oil pumps is a weird complication that would be solved by just using a bigger primary one and little oddball stuff like that. The problems the Maybach had where from being over stressed, overheating, excessive wear due to long high RPM sessions, plus fixing it is not as simple as you'd think, German tanks are not entirely interchangeable in the parts department, minor fitting was common on these. To be fair, germany did not have the time to develop a really good tank engine like the USSR and USA did, the GAA and V-2 respectively, both dead simple and powerful for their size and weight.

Tiger 131 History also includes the capture of a number of Maybach engines and transmission units which were examined in the U.K. late 1943/early 1944. Are these various components from these original engines. Also can MTU provide you with guidance from original documentation for assembly tolerances etc. It will be interesting to if you find any assembly sabotage, like the Bruce Compton engine from his TV series.

The Germans knew what they were doing. I remember watching a program about (I think) a DB 605 being torn down at Rolls Royce. They said it was "bang in the middle of very tight tolerances". And they didn't know how to recreate it if it weren't. On the other hand on my side of the Atlantic, machines were churned out knowing that they wouldn't last long and could be replaced quickly so that small tolerances didn't matter.
