WARNING - SHAKY CAMERA - This was recorded on my phone and high up so unfortunately its shaky. The engine still needs more work, but for now it's able to run for the public. #Anson engine museum
Thanks for posting this vidoe this is great!!! It's very similar to the 150 HP 1915 one we have at Kelham Island museum which worked at George Clarks steelworks on Penistone Rd in Sheffield till 1970 . I remember when It ran on gas but sadly no more, I think It was due to a leakage in the cooling jacket so the cylinder head was over-heating It's now run on an electric motor but still requires compressed air to turn It over It's great to see another fine example of a Crossley engine.
What a machine! Lovely sound. I am curious if it was operating at its normal rated speed, or if the speed was reduced for the demonstration? How fast was id designed to run under working load?
Just seen your comment sorry, as for the size i dont know atm just that it is massive😅, the hp is around 40 odd hp from what i remember. Age im sure is 1920s, next time i am there i will try and get more info and update the description 😎
Hi, it's a 4 stroke diesel. It uses compressed air to turn the engine over, once its spinning the diesel is ignited and runs like a normal diesel engine 😎.
