A single-cylinder or a thumper is a unique layout as a single piston has to do all the job itself. That's normal in small engines, but what if you put only a single-cylinder into a large engine?

@EATSLEEPDRIVE2002 3 года назад

Funny fact about those Landini tractors: they didn’t have reverse gear, to drive backwards they simply let the engine spin down until the right time, then turned the fuel injection on right before top dead center, so that it would kick the engine over to run the other way. The problem with that was: if you were going up a steep hill at wide open throttle, and let the engine slow down too much, it would pre-detonate and suddenly change direction and go wide-open throttle down the hill backwards

@paul2lane236 2 года назад

I saw that happen to a road tractor with a Detroit Diesel. The driver almost stalled it pulling out on a hill, then he kept revving the engine harder harder each time to try and pull out. However, the engine was running backwards and each time the truck went faster and farther backwards. When I saw exhaust coming out of the air intake, I told him to shut it down and restart it. Also had it happen many times on my 1974 Husqvarna 450. Scared the hell out of me first time it did it. Almost sent me down a steep hill backwards. After I figured out what was happening though, I'd just ride it in reverse awhile while my buddies jaws dropped. It would at some point go back forward without missing a beat. Crazy!

@mysock351C 3 года назад

@@ryanfisher6402 Those old hot-bulb Lanzs used the steering wheel to provide a manual way start the engine. You'd use a blow torch to heat the "hot bulb" part of the cylinder head next to the fuel injector and once it was hot enough to light the fuel, you rock it back and forth with the steering wheel against the cylinder compression to get the injector to fire, hopefully getting the engine running in the right direction. You can see him pull the manual injection lever as its rocking back and forth to get it to finally start in the right direction. Obvious problem is once it starts you have to retrieve the now rapidly spinning steering wheel, especially if the governor is not set up quite right and the engine runs on a bit faster than it should, which is what happened here.

We scooped out and replaced the old diesel and oil, blew in some ether and the thing started without any problems. The mine had been abandoned in the late 1930s.

Here in East Texas, I've seen odd looking single cylinder horizontal engines that appear to have been cobbled together using oil field pipe and steam engine parts. They were 2 strokes and were fueled by the oily natural gas that came up with crude in the local wells. Was told those spun generators that powered electric lights so they could drill at night and later on, kept the jack pumps nodding away.

Those are still being made and used, there were several brands with Ajax being popular in a couple of variations. DeLavall engines as well.

@@ricknelson7824 There's a company in my county that's been assembling natural gas compressors on skids for 30 years or more. Theirs are set in oil fields to push the separated NG back down into the deposit and are quite elaborate. The old ones I've seen were crude in construction with no name plates.

You didn't even mention Rustons. They made a range from singles up to 6 cylinder parallels I believe. When I first left school I worked at a local sawmill that had a large twin Ruston powering the breast bench and the skid winch. If you were a little late getting to work (which I often was) you would see twin smoke rings about half a meter in diameter from the engine as it started up. It was amusing to wait until the sawyer on the breast bench had a heavy cut going and then load up the skid winch. Man didn't that engine just knuckle down and grunt as the governors opened up. Later during my apprenticeship I worked on a single cylinder Ruston which, from memory, had a 18" piston and a 36" stroke with a 6' flywheel. Both were compressed air start. The engine hadn't been running for 10 or 15 years and we had to get the engine running again as it had been sold and the new owner wanted it running before moving it. We had borrowed a small Petter single cylinder stationary engine to run the compressor and when all was ready John the mechanic opened the valve to turn the engine over. Now the shed the engine was in was pretty run down and the area where the compressor and air valve was had no roof. Added to that was the exhaust pipe that ran from about waist height down under the floor for about 4 feet then up through the roof. Unbeknown to us was that 6" exhaust pipe was half full of black sooty slimy water. When the engine turned over there was a hiss and a roar followed by a gurgling sound on the exhaust stroke. All that compressed air blew that mess straight out the exhaust pipe, into the air, where it promptly fell back down onto the roof. Except there wasn't a roof over the compressor, which also happened to be where John was standing. Needless to say John ensured that a large portion of this mess didn't sully the floor. I just about had a fit I was laughing so much. He just stood there with slime dripping off his glasses.

I had a 1955 500 cc. BSA Goldstar ,and that thing had gobs of torque, but would vibrate all the bolts out of the engine mounts, and would put your legs to sleep if you rode it very far. Wish I still had it!!!

There is a couple of swedish brands that Built many sizes of hot bulb engines used as stationary engines or marine aplications, can name a couple, Skandia, seffle, beijer, Bolinder munktell. Great video!

We have clubs that bring these engines to festivals here in Louisiana for people to see. They're amazing to watch.

I like the term "Thumper" for single cylinder engines! So my mower is a Thumper!!😋 Anyone notice that there are no more Flat Head Briggs & Stratton engines?? All the small engines now have OHV rocker arm valves!! Mowers, chain saws, weed whackers, etc. Are the only things still made with carbuetors!!

I was 10 and at the Antelope Valley Fair in Lancaster California, and there was an old machinery area. There was and elderly man (quite a character) holding a red solo cup and standing next to an old Hit-And-Miss motor, I don't remember the cylinder number but the sounds in this video reminded me of it, it would thunk loudly (the hit) then it made a kind of sucking noise (the miss), and the guy would put the cup on the exhaust pipe, it would suck the cup down then the hit would come and the cup would go about 25 feet in the air...

a big and terrific machine, completely made of steel, spitting flames and smoke, giving gunghots on every engine's rev...could you desire more than this? well, just a seat and some wheels to ride ove the planet.

Having been in the stationary engine community for awhile: glad to see fairbanks on the list but there are many others to list here. there is a reason there is a large following of collectors of these Huge heavy engines: they are pleasing to run, and listen to and there is an insane verity in makes models, sizes and designs.

1:41 in India at our house, we have a big 1 cylinder sounding similar to the Detroit and mounted to the floor. It also doesn't go on a vehicle but instead uses belt drive to power a wheel with 2-3 spokes and each spoke is a blade. It's used to cut up a plant (idk which one it's kinda just a big green leafy thing) to feed to the buffalos (I believe they're water buffalos).
