German Giants: Mega Engine Manufacturing | FD Engineering 

What Lafarge

Well put. Thank you sir.

😅k1q11qqà22w

I rode my Harley past it and didn't know it was there.

I work for MTU in SC, and have personally rebuilt 40+ series 8000 turbos and 40 of the power units, pulling 90 degrees on the 20 bolts by hand is no fun.

@@Den-ml7zg Where can I look for the generators/ alternators? Does anyone have them used for sale? Rebuilt, WHERE?

anyone else notice the guy using his foot 😂

@@ftl989 its called walking give it a try,

I come from Shrewsbury, Shropshire, where there was also a large Perkins diesel engine factory - it was there for many years. Prior to that it was Rolls Royce. My father in law worked in the lathe shop!

​@@NotMarkKnopfler😊

Cool

Plus it has been around for 600 years. 💪

there german what else do you expect

You said it… pride! I worked in a lot of steel mills as an outside contractor. And they were dumps with employees sleeping in their cubby holes while the place was falling in around them.

Mega engine manufacturing, FD Engineering? How many environmental disasters are you planning to cause with your reckless production methods?

Don’t forget UNIONS😅

Unions and greed

We have Rolls Royce plc probably the most impressive engineering company on the planet who coincidentally also own the company in this vid.

@@agt155 Wasn't commenting about its parentage. Just that the UK built such engines in the past and gave it all away.

Dont forget colonialisim .. there is no more free labour out there......muchaita shiri mirai henyu

MTU is British Owned.

​@@yakacm What we saw here was in Germany, it could be owned by Eskimo's it doesn't change what was said

I had an Audi for a few years. It broke down to the point of being undrivable 5 times over 30k-60k miles and ~3yrs... I know it is a sample size of 1, but it really put me off... I will stick with Japanese engineering. I have never had that issue with japaese cars.

@@crunks420 same experience, but with a lexus. mechanical issues and ridiculously poor rust protection for a premium product. switched to mercedes and no issues since.

@JobyFluorine-ru4bd 🤔 😂

German Giants in engine manufacturing? How many workers are you exploiting in your sweatshops to meet your production quotas?

Here's another Idea, why are there Lawn mower Blades. We can use a water jet blade to cut the grass. And the same to cut trees ???

Mimic Mother nature, she does things for a reason. If I could stand long enough. I could show you. Remember the old Hobart washing Machine ???

best in what way? hard to fix and maintain, russian engines won war

@@Jonjs99 oh yea I forgot the first car was Russian not German🤣 I forgot Russians make sig sauers, best guns in the world, them awesome Russians did get Sputnik up early though

Russia makes tanks that allow an RPG to launch the crew into orbit.

Exactly, thank you sir!

@@Jonjs99 I’ll remember that when I hit 180mph in my v12 driven Russian car, oh yea they don’t make one, I have a Mercedes not a Russian junk

Not ALL German engineering, there cars are garbage

@@josephludwig1126 some of their cars for sure are, but they also produce some good and reliable vehicles, too. Volkswagens TDI vehicles for example, beyond reliable.

@@whatta7793 Volkswagen was caught in a massive emissions scandal, my daughter owns a 2018 Tiguan, 69,000, won't pass envisions, secondary air won't pass, needs $6,900 foam new head, Volkswagen will not cover it, Garbage Company

@@josephludwig1126 Not just VW, pretty much all of the car industry was. Everyone that used a Bosch ECU were cheating but somehow it's just called the VW emissions scandal, perhaps so the less intelligent amongst us hate only them or something. ;)

@@josephludwig1126 Saying German cars are garbage whilst being an American is honestly so damn funny, you make the worst cars in the world lol

No one sells their manufacturer secrets

Mega engine manufacturing, FD Engineering? How many ethical standards did you sacrifice to maintain your competitive edge?

Let me just start by saying that I highly respect your opinion and I don't EVER intend to undermine your personal anecdote/experience, but if MTU engines are as troublesome as you seem to suggest, then why is it that MTU supplies everything from farming machinery and construction all the way to even Power generation? Genuine question. Why is it that that many industries such as Aero engines in Aviationry, Mobile cranes, Heavy land/rail/defense vehicles, the oil and gas industries, and finally the marine industry rely on and use MTU engines and sources of propulsion from MTU? Maybe you've dealt with a few duds in your experience and maybe that's why you aren't in favor of MTU engines. That's OK. However, just going by your sole conclusion, if MTU has such a wide outreach that they have and if they supposedly make engines that spontaneously combust at high RPM, one would think MTU would be royally screwed as a company. However, it does seem that their services are still highly trusted. Along with having a good warranty in case of a mechanical issue, MTU also has the majority of the market in larger boats and that's just the Marine side of MTU engineering we're talking about. If we're talking aviation: Literally, Around 1/3 of all aircraft currently in service worldwide have MTU components on board. One of MTU's notable contributions are behind that of the GTF engine family by Pratt and Whitney, in which MTU’s share of work contributing to the GTF engine family is as much as 18 percent, depending on the application. Of which, MTU is responsible for the high-speed low-pressure turbine design as well as the first four stages of the high-pressure compressor, but MTU also manufactures brush seals and nickel blisks for high-pressure compressor components that fall outside the design responsibility. The GTF series of engines are featured in the Airbus A320 NEO, A220, and Embraer Gen 2 E-Jets. When it comes to aviation, Another notable example in which MTU has some share of development hand is behind that of the GE9X engine, another important engine that's currently in use in the Boeing 777X. There are so many more projects in which MTU has had a hand in and those were just 2 examples of their aid and developmental contribution in the Aviation world. Aviation is one of the largest playing fields that MTU is a key player in.

@@bigboreracing356 It is not "cast steel" - and that's from a metallurgist.

While we're at it: they're not "gantries" they're bridge cranes. The word "elastic" instead of ductile was bothering this engineer, too.

Oh hell, we got a rocket scientist in the house.

@kevink8481, Correct terminology is imperative so other engineers know precisely what is described, and or required. Although it's said that ignorance is bliss, so it's your choice to remain uninformed.

Nerds 😂😂😂

Don't wish and don't buy into German hyperbole. US can and does have facilities to build engines. It's just Germany is good at telling itself it's superior. Conversely look at all the utter German luxury rubbish junk cars it sells around the world where a designed to fail component requires the removal of the engine. They're conceited idiots like everyone else - we're all in the same boat LOL. Oh the humanity!

You guys built the space shuttle, Germans are still pouring iron into sand moulds.

​@@agt155The need to put men on the moon made more precise engineering necessary. Contractors all over the world had to improve.

@@rahulmandala4930 You do realise the Saturn V was not used to launch the Space Shuttle. In fact the Shuttle was launched primarily via solid rocket boosters, a completely different technology.

German Giants, huh? How many corners did you cut in the manufacturing process to save a few bucks?

Yes agree

Absolutely agree. Whoever came upon the idea to give this potentially interesting film a touch of drama a la American ridiculous TV show. and a narrator from like the Discovery channel.. Look for another job.

Cute that by turning off the sound and reading the transcript. Choose your speed.

I know, right? The biggest difference is a separate camshaft for each cylinder bank. I would feel like an ant!

German Giants, eh? How many lives are you willing to sacrifice for your bottom line?

@@clgusa23689 sorry; I'm not tracking; i wrote that in reference to V-type engines following similar layouts.

Bought my M235xi new in 2016. Maintained as per owner's manual at my BMW store. Now 8 years old, 96,000 miles, Zero $$ on repairs. N55 engine is bullet proof. Automobile looks like it came out of the factory yesterday.

oh look the fun police

I think they just reupload documentaries, so the music is already baked in

Believe me, they are well paid. I would guess that medals don't mean much. When that engine didn't start right up is when the boss of that crew earned his pay!

Mega engine manufacturing, FD Engineering? How many safety regulations did you conveniently overlook to meet your deadlines?

Sure is a big bloody crack ,, now that you have found it for them I bet they repaired it asap, great spotting 👍😎

Well spotted !! Can you imagine the cost (and danger) if that gave way and dropped the whole thing ?!

German Giants, boastful much? How many human rights violations are you committing in your factories?

I noticed it too. Ever since I stepped into the industrial maintenance world, I look at machinery differently. Crazy stuff

😂😂 you have a better chance of putting a Tahoe inside the engine 😂😂

If it is a 2-stroke diesel. That was not mentioned but I believe that the narration implied that its maximum RPM is 1,500.

German Giants, really? How many shortcuts are you taking in your manufacturing process to maximize your profits?

Mega engine manufacturing, FD Engineering? How many lawsuits are you expecting for your blatant disregard for safety?

What are you talking about?

@@Look_What_You_Did state of the art diesel power blocks. 2 cycle

That's why I Only use what I need. Laugh @ me all you wan't... I've lived it, I saw what I saw !!!

They can but it would probably have a top speed of 5mph.

Mega engine manufacturing, FD Engineering? How many lobbyists did you hire to turn a blind eye to your environmental destruction?

@ Fredericks Haven Norge ," Briljant Gedoen " Briljantly done !! @ Complements to the chef !!!!,@ lie to hear more @ JRH T3

Almost like German silver

Congratulations?

@@derekspringer6448 No. I only commented because it appears they are recycling content but making it look like new content.

German Giants, engine manufacturing? How many toxic chemicals are you releasing into the atmosphere?
