How much are some Boyesen reed valves for my 8v92 2 stroke silver. i cannot find them during tear down as the must have disappeared. Also i need some 7507 T6 billet CNC thingy aluminum connection rods for my OMC 2 wankle rotary snowmobile engines? i cannot find them!
@@hakeemsd70m me too i like the, EMD's, Detroits, fairbanks morse OP. The sachs d600 is awsome 2 stroke diesel from germany and cummins ACE OP is 2 stroke. ever heard of a hirth d24 2 stroke diesel, i would love to get one.
The EMD engines were originally designed and built by a company called Winton Engines. They were designated the W201A. GM bought the engines from Winton initially and decided that they were just what they wanted so they bought the company, then designed the first of the 567 series, basically a redesigned and improved 201A. GM also used a smaller version of this engine when they built the Detroit Diesel, for trucks and marine use. They were also an awesome engine.
It is a uniflow scavenge engine. It has a charged airbox which surrounds the cylinders. Ports at the bottom of the cylinders are uncovered by the pistons as they go BDC, allowing charged air to come in and push the exhaust out through 4 open exhaust valves in the cylinder head.
Diesel locomotives had a particular sound that scared the crap outta me when I was a little kid. Rumbling giants. Fast forward a few years and my great old Dad took me to work and let me operates the throttle and brake during a shunt. Never forget
You should hear them at full tilt when they were brand NEW units and pulling 16,000 tons of coal out of one of the mines near Gillette, WY. I used to slide open a window just to listen to them SCREAM.....god, it was orgasmic!
It reminds me of multiple morse code operators in an emergency/immediate broadcast mode... And the engine in this video hasn't even gone into full throttle 😱... It's amazing what we take for granted everyday when our respective engines serve our daily "routines" 🏆 💪
A part of me would have an SD40 mounted on one side in my garage just to hear that sound every time I started it up, and hooked up to a power generator and a lathe/grinding wheel setup just so I could say it had a reason for being there. =)
Why would you? Different systems, different needs, different countries, why compare? You might 'make fun', of us, but like almost everything else you use or have used on a 'railroad' including steam traction, it was invented and pioneered right here bright boy.
I copied this to a flash drive plugged it into my car stereo's usb drive and it sounds cool as heck crusin down the highway! And the looks I get at red lights when I crank it up, they're dumbfounded, don't know what to think!
@@jlo13800 what in the fuck are you talking about dude I see you everywhere. You're literally talking about 2 stroke gas engines lmao. You're obviously a troll
Someone stole and reuploaded your Video, see here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aT4MnAduWz0.html He stole one of my Videos as well, and apparently his entire Channel is built by stolen Content. I already reported my Video, and if two more of "his" Videos get reported, his Channel will be taken down.
We who love these "gears", also like the sound of a turbo compound Wright R 3350...pretty awesome to behold...and it even flies...lol. Thanks...as a RR buff.
Diesel locomotives are a wonderful piece of engineering. I really admire these giant machines, and they are the ones that bring us utility and help our products such as food, coal and wood reach our industries.
I ran Burlington Northern coal and freight for years. It was always a thrill to go back and fire-up an SD-40 or SD-45 after it had been shut down for whatever reason. Had the privilege of seeing a turbocharger failure on the third unit while on the lead unit. Glad I was at the head end at the time. We used to occasionally get those BN 6600-series "covered wagon" units on freight consists. There were times I had to walk back through those units while they were at full power. I found that to be rather "sexy" and frightening as hell at the same time. Must have been a lot like porking Pamila Anderson in the early days...........................
Essentially its a massive bigger version of an inline Detroit Diesel. A two cycle diesel engine, all valves are exhaust, inlet air comes in through slots in the cylinder liner with an air pump Roots blower, California emissions laws sorta killed this engine, such a shame as they sounded so good under full load!
what was the sounds i heard before the engine started? Was it the pistons moving up and down, or the crank shaft turning the pistons? it sounds like a muffled drum beat
There are two starter motors cranking the engine over and the whining noise is a gear driven turbocharger as the engine is a two stroke and needs air forced into it
That was the sound of the unit injectors pumping in fuel, the beat is in time with the center rocking arm on each cylinder, that is the injector actuator. The injector is directly under that arm.
Que bello es ver toda esta ingenieria mecanica me apacionan los motores diesel Mis mas altos respetos para quien invento el primer motor Sencillamente un genio
I am so happy after seeing this video & loved this video , the process of running the engine to generate power is like the pumping the blood by heart .
I wish this was a two hour video I could fall asleep with the harmonics of this engine but imagine this engine in a boat back in the time of Cleopatra they would freak out big time
These things can last upwards of 50 years with proper maintenance and _maybe_ a little retrofit; and some lunatics are trying to sell battery locomotives. Just add wires. It's far cheaper.
