Big Unusual Engines starting up Sound That Will Amaze You

🔥💪😮 Big engines, big power! It's amazing to witness the sheer size and performance of these magnificent machines. Although their efficiency may not match modern standards, their durability and longevity are second to none. The Queen Street Mill, The De La Vergne Engine, Polar diesel engine T3K, and Enterprice DSG-36 are true engineering marvels that continue to leave us in awe. And let's not forget the impressive stroke volume, with a total of almost 167 liters! The roaring sound of their startup is a symphony for the ears. Truly remarkable! 🔥💪😮

watch the people in the "did it start" videos - when the engine fires off the look of awe and magic on everyones' face is just wonderful

The150 CASE is a beast! Amazing piece of steam power history.

Great to see these beasts fire up again ❤❤❤

Worked on a lot of these engines my favorite was the gardeners even a few Rustons The polar engines were a dream to work on .

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Yes put you head in the turbo on startup 😅😂😂

The MAN D2866 KU at 3:05, is similar in design to the MAN 175D 12V, 16V and 20V engines we make today.

Big engines, big power!

I like big things as the "Queen Street Mill", "The De La Vergne Engine", "Polar diesel engine T3K", "Enterprice DSG-36". BTW: At the latter there is a little comma mistake at the stroke value. Stroke volume per cylinder is about 27.8 liters, so in total almost 167 liters. Related to today machines it's 3.6 hp/liter is not rather efficient, but these robust old machines have an almost everlasting lifetime.

Very cool. Imagine these being made with up to date metallurgy.

Starting big engines can be “interesting”. 1976 I was on USS Samuel Gompers operating out of San Diego. On this particular day we had a problem with the boiler fuel and water in the fuel put out the boilers. One of our auxiliary generators was down for maintenance. That left the diesel generator. This engine was fired by compressed air. I believe the pressure was 2000+ psi and the tanks were about 5 feet tall by 2 feet diameter. There were three tanks and a tank was only good for one attempt to start the diesel. We were 30-50 miles off the coast. So it was unlikely we would be seen by anyone. First bottle, the engine doesn’t even pop. Second bottle, the same results. At this point the Captain tells the engineers that they are not to use the third bottle unless they are positive the engine will start. About this time the First Class Petty Officer I work under comes to us and tells us to go collect all the battle lantern batteries that are still good and bring them to him on the signal bridge. At this point the power has been out for maybe two hours so many batteries are expended. This guy is a ham radio operator and has the radio for his truck on board so it won’t be stolen. He takes it to the signal bridge and as the batteries are brought to him hooked them up in a big series-parallel hook up. He had just made contact with Surface Forces Pacific Fleet when the engineers fired the third bottle and the engine fired off. We were still dead-in-the-water for at least 30-45 minutes before the engineers got the boiler back up.

I like queen Street mill engine since my childhood. If u make a detailed video of this engine then please. Thankyou for video of different types of engine.

The Griffon engine has a beautiful noise.

I like the sound of CAT. The sound of money. Entertaining video and very interesting!

Why was the video speed increased? For a true sound/visual of what's going on, change the viewing speed to .75.

Loved it....

That deutz 😍😍😍

WOW NEAT

Monster power.

Very good video!
