An unmissable event at the start of the year, the Retromobile Show will take place at the Parc des Expositions at Porte de Versailles, in Paris, from February 1 to 5, 2012. long and 330 liters of displacement... The Duvant type 9 V.O.S industrial engine will be present at Rétromobile for the first time. Measuring 6 m long and 3.5 m high for a total of 30 tonnes, it is one of three examples built in 1962 by the Société des Moteurs Duvant of Valenciennes. For 50 years, it remained out of sight in the heart of the basement of the Auteuil racecourse. Its function was to drive an alternator (of the same caliber) in the event of a power cut, in order to supply the entire racecourse with electricity. He was then retired in 1990, then forgotten. In 2000, the site of Auteuil is the subject of work, thus wishing to get rid of the monster. To preserve it, it was then dismantled and transported near Toulouse by the Association des Amoureux des Vieux Moteurs (AAVM). Dantesque work carried out piece by piece. Finally, in 2010, the Duvant block came back to life: its 9 cylinders, its 36 valves, its supercharging system, its 3.5 tonne flywheel... Note that the colossus develops 1,600 hp and consumes 350 liters of fuel per hour. AAVM officials will invite Retromobile visitors to approach the engine on a footbridge when it is started.
Окна в блоке ☝️😀 судя по всему, разморожен ! движок та. Перед запуском ! Такого старья, необходимо, за месяц, залить в цилиндры, сильный растворитель! Через неделю, залить, УайтСпирит в смеси с керосином . В топливо добавить немного бензина . Было видно, что едва едва, срабатывает лишь один цилиндр ! Мира добропорядочным
