Beautiful. I can only imagine what that would sound like at full torque and full RPM...... Thank you guys so much for keeping her running and sharing here. Very thankful for the freedom which all have fought for.

These Bristol Hercules radial engine is probably the only successful sleeve valve engine in aviation history!

Painted jugs on an air-cooled radial. That makes a lot of sense. Of course it's right on par with sleeve valves as far mechanical common sense goes.

Beautiful engine the sound is music to my ears as a gearhead I like a lot of the old radial engines they have such a sound that is different from a flat 4 or flat six aircraft engines they are a work of air to look at too far me anyways.👍😀😮

Best thing about this video is when he’s talking about the sound of freedom, there’s a crow in the background calling b.s. Awesome engine though.

He is well behind the prop. He is using an infra red temp gun to check the cylinder head temps.......

These engines had no valves, springs, pushrods and lifters. Sleeve valves were used. Flat head with no rockers and hemi combustion chamber with 2 plugs, 2 exhaust, and 2 inlet pipes per cylinder.

@chrisburn7178 4 жыл бұрын

Mostly correct - B. Mk I and B. Mk III used Merlins, the B. Mk II used these Bristol Hercules radials and was mostly flown by Canadian crews. Although this engine is from a Handley-Page Halifax as the artwork shows.

@DARANGULAFILM 5 жыл бұрын

On these engines, there were extra cooling ( top hat ) baffles which directed air into the deep centres of the cylinder heads which are surrounded by a moving sleeve. It is desirable that the temps are kept within limits to avoid oil breakdown and possible damage to the head around which the sleeve slides, the sleeve cylinder itself, the cylinder in which it slides or the piston which moves within the sleeve. There are close-fitting baffles around the cylinders but no top hat baffles on this engine so cooling air is not being directed into the head. This engine is not flying in an aircraft and cooling is only from the shortened blades of the clubbed propellor. During WW2, these engines in some aircraft with full sized propellors were likely to overheat if kept running on the ground too long before flight in hot tropical or desert environments. Later builds of this engine type used tin plating on the piston shaped part of the heads which extend inside the sleeve cylinders to reduce the risk of "pick-up" or partial seizing in hostile conditions of the aluminium wearing surfaces onto the moving steel alloy sleeve cylinder walls.

I'm as much an environmentalist as anyone (although it sounds more like you just enjoy moaning about having to make small changes to your lifestyle for the sake of protecting the climate) but there are millions of people using power tools and driving boats; you can count the number of these engines on your fingers. I'm sure they have a worthwhile exemption.

and that prop is way too small. not the right prop for the plane the engine was in. do your homework better.

@chrisburn7178 4 жыл бұрын

Have you not seen these trailer running shows before? Of course it's a cut-down prop, if you had a full length one it's entirely impractical and would blow the operator and half the crowd away. It's a show-piece not a representation of how it goes on the plane.
