10.4L Oil Engine Running @ Zero RPM. How is that possible? 

Even better than Memes 😅

Currently watching at 4:02 am

Wow haha currently 0408 Uk time 😂

9:13pm, I'm old :D

4:46am 🤦🏻‍♂️😒

When you need to pull that tank out of the mud

Usefulness : 0

This thing has tons of torque. Since it’s a 2 stroke it’ll run in reverse as well.

@@9crutnacker985 Untrue - with the appropriate belt drive ratio you can run all manner of equipment off of an engine like this (pumps, sawmills, grain threshing & milling, engineering equipment etc etc). Indeed, in the event of a global disaster such as a killshot solar storm, or nuke war, these may be the ONLY kind of engines that are still usable.

@@boydw1 Not at oscillating 'zero' RPM it's not.

Just look at it, run it, complain its taking up to much space, look at it again. Seems pretty good

of course!

I'm gonna change your statement a little with my case :D This is one of those cool things you see late at night deep in the RU-vid rabbit hole and think "I'm just gonna watch this one more and go to sleep, tomorrow is a working day" and A few moments later is 4 in the morning and in two hours you need to go to work...

This is so true!

"What for?" Well, to hook up to a fan to exhaust all these fumes obviously.

Me too!

🥰

Here* probably wondered why you were in school too huh

Mr O. Glad to hear you're making an appearance

Ayyyy it's Dr. O! Fancy seeing you here! 😺 This ain't no Chevy Thunder or Hondoo, and it sure does make more smoke than the Avoca Smokah. 😸

Great comment!!!!

Ironically, it was built before cats were required!

@@whitesapphire5865 HAHA, cats!! That better than my comment!😂😂.

So the Swedes were building quantum engines long time ago😆

@@domminion599 But....... Were it not for your comment in the first place, mine would have no reason to exist

So what do you do when you get it going and it fires off in the opposite direction you need it to go?

@@routtookc8064 *run*

@@routtookc8064 turn it down to 0 rpm and then try to increase the rpm at the right moment? I guess.

😅

@@routtookc8064 Shut her down and spin her opposite!

Thanks for sharing your story 😊 Yes, smart thing to run on natural gas when it alredy exists!

I love the self sufficient oil wells. There is a well maintenance guy who posts videos of them on YT. I can't think of his name but I love his videos. All the wells in my area have been converted to electric. Not nearly as much fun to watch.

@@1978garfield Yeah, most of them out here are electric. I'm right in the middle of the West Texas desert, and ironically there's a forest's worth of utility poles, which sucks because I have to fly under all of those wires. Once free flowing stops, a fracked well starts off with an electric submersible pump, then to a long stroke (hydraulic/electric, usually), and finally to a conventional pumpjack. Most of the newer wells will more than likely never be combustion driven since there's already power on site, but on rare occasions you get a unique well that has tons of gas available compared to oil and water. It's more economical and productive to use a compressor and inject that gas back into the well for artificial lift, most of those operate on natural gas too. It's quite a different animal from the old hit and miss style single cylinder engines sputtering away all day and night, they sound much more like a diesel engine when running, a nice steady hum. Of course they're also computer controlled and fully automated, so when they go down you're out there sometimes for hours getting it started again, and they go down for silly stuff all the time. They just don't have the same kind of charisma and character that those old putt putt motors do.

@@Skinflaps_Meatslapper Hmmm, maybe after the big freeze... there might be more engines that run when electrickery doesn't flow....

@Maikro Wavee Obviously for the purposes of these simple engines... the oil only runs out when the engine stops....... unless the rod goes through the block, in which case the oil runs out faster.... and it definitely comes to an end then.

Thanks! Yes a RC engine with glow plug is very simular to this engine so i can se why 🙂

I would get this from my Cox .049 trying to get a homemade 18" blade to spin in hopes of making a helicopter when I was 10 years old.......the stupid things we do as kids..... still have my fingers and that engine...lol

"Sure honey, I'll start the car.(.an hour later: ) "ok , ready to go"?

you're not alone my dear life hitchhiker, yeah well at least the washings getting done !! Well said !!

@@NenadKralj But I think your comment really is a reference to the lyrics of Substitute by The Who. "I'm a substitute for another guy I look pretty tall but my heels are high The simple things you see are all complicated I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah Substitute you for my Mum; at least I'll get my washing done.....

that's not even technically zero RPM tho

it's not zero well you add both forward and back to get the RPM there's no negative value for RPM

@@Johnny-tq9no You know what a revolution is don't you

They sure where proud of their work back then.

@@YesterdaysMachinery this stuff had beautiful shaped curved castings with designs and logos in it, even little pinstripes and dress up stuff like that. What a contrast to the stuff hidden under plastic covers today

@@MrTheHillfolk oh, and dont forget the phrase "built to last"

*Slams fists down on desk* 5,000 rpms!!!! That's three too many zeros!!

@@HvV8446 No bout adout it 😁

Many WW2 aero engines had a cartridge starter (Coffman). Many needed one cartridge to clear the engine (ignition off) then one to start with ignition on. If it failed to start, you'd often have the engine on fire so make sure you know your mixture settings. :)

Grouse story.

Grouse story - the stationary engines I’ve inherited where left on the farm of a tractor/engine collector mechanic which I bought in Vic.

@@rupert5390 make some vids of them.

Nice one is also starting a engine with a engine (pony motor) with big CAT engine in the 60s/70s

Yes! Thanks!

Danke bitte schon

Thank you so much! I was skipping around saying none of this is 0 rpm

0 RPM also 11:32

That's how bone saws work

Yes, its is like a drug.

Is it losing when you actually have fun doing it? I think not :)

Beats the hell out of losing it on wastehook and twatter 😉

Saaaaaaaame

Probably some kid driving the shit out of it lmao I did this to my 400k km civic

steam engine has full torque at 0 rpm

The best way of varying AC voltage 100 years ago was with a locked rotor slip-ring motor whose rotor position could be varied by the angle of a single pole of the windings

@@Jeanie363034 electric motor does as well

@@Blox117 whats old is new again

@@TheJunky228 not really, its just a physical principle. the human arm also produces the most torque at zero. cumbustard failgens just so happen to stall at zero.

Talk about dying from secondhand smoke!

Thanks! I bet that's good memories. /Richard

This is how you operate when you wake up with morning wood!

You should post videos.

@@1978garfield I’d love to but I’m too self conscious - I’ve only got two running but I hold great hopes for the two cylinder lister - a So the very large oil engine has a cracked head so that will be some job.

Yes me too! Always works better without electronics.

Cute pfp.

There are some of those floating and running around here on RU-vid. They have a very distinct sound that fits in very well with the bays and fjords.

@@lt1nut do you have a searchable term for this?

@@TheJunky228 From what I remember many of the titles were in a Scandinavian language, which makes it kind of hard but I'd include words like "fishing boat", "troller"(trollar"?), "Norwegian", "Danish", maybe "Swedish", "Norse", "Norsk", "traditional", "local", "restored", and "engine sound" since I believe one boat in particular is restored and known/"famous" for that. I wish that I could be of more help.

Thank you! No it's not healty, but as you say it is not so often, so i think it is ok. Im glad to hear that there is people in England that enjoy coffee also. Cheers /Richard, Sweden.

Yes, i think so too 🙂

All the preppers freaking out about the EMP from an atomic bomb. This engine "EMP? Never met her. Outta my way, I got work to do." Mushroom cloud rises in background, engine continues working.

not really lol these engines have very limited usefulness and in a zombie apocalypse there would be plenty of easier fuels and engines

@@Johnny-tq9no these could be adapted to do anything in my opinion

@@netten9432 yup

@@1978garfield More Zombies just means more fuel!

Sounds like a lovely machine!

Well I guess many of us think the same way. Have nice day Joe

Good point about an early death, which was much more likely back in the "good old days".

Fewer vaccines then too. Then again, no fallout from all those tests and meltdowns yet either.

@@Einwetok lots of trade-offs. Potentially a shorter life span on the downside. Although being able to work on machines that are actually designed to be serviced, and aren't full of black boxes that the manufacturer won't release any service information for, and being able to make your own replacement parts out of locally available materials with hand tools and a few simple machine tools, not to mention no over complication due to government regulations,,, I guess I'm looking at all this with 60 year old eyes in 2021, but somehow giving up some years of life in order not to have to deal with miles of red tape and paperwork, and being able to make almost all my own parts without being looked at like a time-wasting idiot seems like it would be worth it

sometimes I think the food we are sold can kill.us. yes, people died of simple things "back then" but now we have 50 cancers

Probably has to run for a week to get to temperature anyway.

Yep thats true 🙂

It's gloeikopmotor in Dutch, so the same I guess. In English they call it a hot-bulb engine it seems. I want one.

I have never seen one before, but I believe I can add one more language to the list: Kuulamoottori. That is Finnish. The "moottori" of course stands for "motor". The "Kuula" refers to the iron balls that once were used as shots in the old artillery guns The more present translation for the "kuula" is a bullet.

@@InssiAjaton well the hot bulb at the end of this machine does look a bit similar to a cannonball, so I guess that makes sense.

@@InssiAjaton Tändkulemotor is the Swedish name. "Tänd" is Ignition, "Kule" is bulb or ball and "Motor" is as you probably guessed Engine.

Thanks 😊

On one hand you are right, a lot of stuff nowadays wont last that long. On the other hand, how many of these engines are still being used? And i dont mean functional, i mean actively being used for stuff. If a product will be replaced by better and more efficient technologies every few years anyways, why bother spending money and recources on making it last way longer than that? Instead we should focus on how we can recycle the things we discard so often, taking the recources and using them in new products.

That’s why you don’t trust wikipedia. Most diesel engines that were made before 1990 were naturally aspirated.

@@kn4dgs This is specific to 2 stroke diesels and it is true here. In this case the crank case and piston movement are used to move the intake air into the cylinder. That's why the leather reed valve is there.

But a hot bulb engine isn't a compression ignition engine like a Diesel.

@@Graham_Langley Yes, you are certainly correct and I stand corrected. This engine does burn diesel as well as a variety of other fuels and the hot bulb allows it to operate with lower compression than a conventional diesel engine...I assume. However, Wartsilla-Sulzer engines are multi-cylinder diesel compression engines and, although they are often turbocharged, many are naturally aspirated due to their design with two-piece connecting rod with upper rod segment that passes through a gland with seal in the bottom of a bottle-shaped cylinder.

@@Melanie16040 Your point is well taken that the piston is, in effect, the induction mechanism. And this engine is actually a fairly conventional, single-stroke, reed valve engine, except most reed valves are metallic, not leather. My comment was a snipe against Wikipedia and their statement specifically about the requirement for "blower" or "supercharger".

You should watch the whole video, you don't deserve to see this thing run at 0 rpm unless you respect it.

Exactly, this video is lengthy for a good reason - it's very informative.

I rather enjoyed how it was explained. I have plenty of attention span to survive. lol. great view of antique tech. just think.of how many failures and planning till this engine didn't tie up with friction. the stroke length alone is impressive. stroke moves things,

The Lanz Bulldog will run 0 rpm until the hot bulb becomes too cold for ignition to occur.

Sadly about the same time the scrap yards stopped selling to non commercial clients. Used to most place were glad to sell to you from the pile if you would pay more than scrap. Now I see cool stuff that is worth money (saw a few phone booths a few years ago) but they don't want the hassle of selling to individuals. Those phone booths probably came back as beer cans or razor blades depending on what they were made of.

@@1978garfield As a kid we used to drive through the local scrap yard once a week to see what we could pull off the pile. I bought a mini bike frame with no motor one week and an old briggs tiller the next and had a running mini bike for less than $50.

So true!

torque is meaningless when gears exist hp is a unit with time included, ft/lb is not

As others have said, you forgot what a gearbox does. Power is what's needed. You can make any torque you need with the right gearing.

Maybe it's just to keep fuel consumption to a minimum enough to sustain life and not have to go thru the whole starting process again ? Maybe one of a few reasons, but I'm guessing.

@@MrTheHillfolk As it was explained to me the boats dont have a cluthc so if the engine is running the ships had the propeller turning. But if it was ideling at 0rpm:s the propeller didnt move the ship.

@@MaskinJunior Exactly, plus it kept the hot bulb hot. To reverse you reverse the engine. Large container ships and the like are also direct drive but they switch the valve timing and use compressed air to restart the engine each direction change.

@@alwaysbearded1 depends on how large ships. I used to work at a foundry that made propellers where you changed the pitch of the propeller to change the speed of the ship. I think those ships has constant speed on the prop-shaft and does not reverse on the main props.

@@MaskinJunior I should have qualified size. I'm thinking of the large container ships I have to dodge when I sail. But at least they have tugs in the estuary where we have to share close quarters. The smaller ships and tugs just have regular transmissions. Some might have variable pitch props where you can reverse the blades to go in reverse while the shaft still turns one way. I don't know which have which I just stay out of the way!

Correct! Thanks you!

Yep, it does in the video.

Yes it truly is. I have a 35hp in my sawmill. Works fantasticly well!

@@YesterdaysMachinery trying the 0rpm to avoid a crankshaft using a saw blade?

Thank you 😊

That's what she said.

no

Ask yourself why camera is still moving around. :-)

@@mrdummy_nl lol it was a joke

It would take a while for diesel fumes to do that haha

😂 this legit made me laugh.

Thanks! / Richard

Early hot bulbs actually had water injection because the hot bulb often overheated. But then they build a better system.

Thanks!

😂

@@andreaseriksson8803 Thank you Andreas, I'm pleased that you have full working knowledge of the Trabant! Mike

Yesterdays Machinery 1 month ago Haha, probably not. But when it is warmed up and running it is smoke free. So this is just cold. And they are very fuel efficent to actually. And you can run it on vegetable oil so it can be carbon neutral too 😁

No, I think it's for keeping the engine idling while it's not needed.

@@firefly618 and with a 10 min hot bulb warm up you Shure want to consider whether you want to shut it off.

Yes exactly as you say. Very common in siple fishing boats without reversable prop or gearbox at the time.

Yes i think so too. /R

I don't have any spare ones, but i have pictures of the piston in the 25hp Målilla from when i restored it. That one got 265mm bore. Dont know the stroke, but i will make a video aboute that one too soon. I dont think it's possible to put photos here in the comments.
