How to Peel an apple with an EMD 645 two-stroke 45-degree V12-engine. 

Finally someone using these engines for what they were intended

I remember my Grandma had one of these hooked up to the apple peeler, the egg beater, and the sewing machine... I loved helping her around the house!

Gives a new meaning to the word "ENGINEering", Sounds sweet too, with the short-pipes and all. Sounds like a BIG tractor engine.

Lucky that's not a little old 567 or you never get that apple peeled!

peeling apples with a locomotive prime mover. give that thing a break, it's gonna overheat from all that load.

Id hate to see what this guy uses to crack open eggs for his omelets.

Call right now and for just the cost of shipping we'll send you not one but TWO EMD 645's! Put one in your travel bag!

This is the worlds most Badass Peeler!!!! Awesome!

i would be careful, thats too much load for the engine

Good to see it started so easy. Wouldn't want the kids to go without their fruit. I'm surprised how much it actually sounds like a 71 series.

An emd a day peels the apple away 😍

I like the bicycle tire transmission system!

Now I want to see you drop that locomotive engine into that bicycle

Although it is a roots blower, it is technically not a supercharger. This engine is actually considered naturally aspirated. newer versions come with a turbo/blower...basically a radial blower with an over-running clutch that allows the impeller to free-wheel off the engine when there is enough exhaust blowdown for the exhaust turbine to drive the impeller under higher engine loads.

Nice video though :D But I've always wanted to see an EMD engine powering a circular saw :D

I love it. :) tanks man!

And people said the 645 was inefficient... psh!

How convenient, now I know what to do with my 645 out back.

That would sound good if it was given a rev with those short pipes. Hi from NZ, Anthony

can I straight pipe my SD9?:D

LOL! Just when I thought I've seen it all, I run across this. It's very cool though.

I think you could probably run a pair of peelers without overloading the engine. Thanks for the video - enjoyed it!

Ohhhhh boy everyones' got jokes today

The EMD isn't running. The tractor is doing this. I bet there's no pistons in it.

Overkill... you're doing it right

Where did this 645 come from? I'd personally like an Alco 539, even if it's bigger than one of these. It's a 6-cylinder 4-stroke engine with 12-1/2' x 13" bore and stroke, or 1,595 cubic inches per cylinder, and makes 600hp naturally aspirated or 1000hp turbocharged.

Boys and their toys.

Now use it to power a food blender :D

Hahahaha MECHANICAL DISADVANTAGE for sure!!!! From my simple Engineerong Science - EFFORT should be way less than the LOAD. Anyway good invention I like it

WHERE IS THAT HAPPENING?

Now that's funny right there LOL... I can actually laugh at that! Wow I got old I haven't touched one in 10 years. Or an Alco. An engineering mind outstanding. I no more Tidewater offshore tug boats just in my phones LOL

Very efficient. Should solve the Lefties complaining, as well as world hunger....

Very cool. Obviously NOT in the US.

Well multiple purpose engine

Maçã de casca dura, hem? 1500 cavalos de força para descasca-la! Hard shell apple, huh? 1500 horsepower to bark it!

It would be cheaper just to spin the bicycle wheel by hand.

...using a 7740 cubic inch two cycle diesel to peel an apple...only in America...nice zoomies by the way...

The heck?

that's why american needs to do everytime everywhere oil-wars

Its actually done in Sweden ;-) But its still awesome :-)
