During the industrial revolution Era Western countries and usa used this kind of machine and they create global warming, climate change phenomena 😂😂😂😂😂
This is probably the biggest issue with diesels. In cold weather they seize up and don’t run quite as well. Steam engines can run in cold weather, thanks to their immense heat, and therefore don’t have this issue.
These engine lasT longer than modern engine. Irigation diesel engine (30hp) can running more than 24hours with 50-70% power non stop. And no problem the engine from 20y ago.😅
It's a shame that Armstrong-Siddeley through either a merger or investment-driven expansion (they were owned by Hawker since 1935) couldn't find the funding, talent or Air Ministry attention to pursue their best potential. A large 38-40 L, sodium-cooled poppet valve A/S engine could have beat the Bristol Hercules as the first British 1,200 hp 14-cylinder two-row radial aircraft engine by years, which might have led to some truly interesting pre-war (presumably non-Bristol) aircraft designs to use it. Bristol's sleeve valve distraction was a wrench in the works of British radial-powered aircraft development.
