Thats the kind of fan I need on my night stand to keep me cool on hot summer nights and provide me with a little bit of back ground noise to help me sleep thru the night.
*That's how you rev a Rolls Royce V12 engine.

I wanted to ask "why would anyone own such thing" but the video answered my question especially since ABOUT 1:10 :) (that's a bad ass operator, I would have used safety goggles )
@@ReValveiT_01 it's this set up because a single prop to use all that torque would be of such a diameter that it would hit the ground. Contra rotating props extract all that torque in a smaller diameter package. These props are cut down. The normal prop diameter is around 13feet from memory.
@@FiveCentsPlease right. With the cut-down propellers and limited RPM it simply can't generate the thrust that it would if given the full size blades and the throttles opened up further.
The Griffon shares some design details with the Merlin, but is the size of the pre-war Snyder Trophy engine called the Rolls Royce R. It's similar to the Merlin in a lot of respects but has a different crankshaft geometry and thus a different firing order.
jamieduff1981 don’t forget, the engine itself actually rotated in the opposite direction. If you look at the Mk XIV and up Spitfires, the propeller was also much larger. Some Spitfires and Seafires did have the counter rotating prop as seen here. Along with the Avro Shackleton.
I’m no expert but the Griffon engine was a larger capacity than the Merlin engine. It had a number of superior design features eg a hollow crankshaft with feed from the front and rear to ensure lubrication of big end bearings; the magneto and supercharger drives also better design. When fitted with this engine the Spitfire had to be extended by 4 feet.
@@ReValveiT_01Bill Richards he was my grandad and unfortunately did pass quite a few years ago had multiple engines including this one was his passion
Se que los aviones de la segunda guerra mundial. Americanos tenían estos motores alguien sabe que marca eran los motores japoneces De los temibles cero...?? Kawasaki. O eran honda
The engine sounds superlative and I bet its a thirsty bastard, what maybe a gallon every 30 seconds? But on the Avro it came off, whats the idea behind the contra-rotating propellers?
@@wl20309 your grandad is one of those guys that makes museum’s take notice and do something. Without guys like him a lot of history would just be in book’s. I am honored to see his work.
@@damnusename The Gannet had a double mamba engine and were never fitted with a Griffon.The only Griffons I am familiar with were Sea Griffons as fitted to RAF RTTL,S,and I am unable to say with mark they were and my log books are stored in the garage roof.
