Shell Historical Film Archive
Shell’s surprising and captivating Historic Film Archive dates from 1934 and covers a rich mix of topics from technology, science and engineering to craftsmanship, motorsport and travelogue.
The Shell Film Unit, responsible for the content, was a highly celebrated part of Britain’s Documentary Movement. Key figures from that movement were involved, including: Jack Beddington, Edgar Anstey, Arthur Elton, John Grierson, Kay Mander, Stuart Legg and Douglas Gordon.
Its films were wide reaching, often screened in cinemas and through the non-theatric film distribution circuit, which brought film to educational establishments and organisations across the UK. While many films covered technological themes related to Shell’s activities, others were entirely unrelated and served purely to educate the general public.
As Shell innovated in technologies that would provide oil and gas products for the world, the Shell Film Unit also innovated in the technological advancement of film, incorporating graphics and different forms of animation as early as the 1930s.
During WW2 the Shell Film Unit was co-opted into war effort, making films for the Ministry of Information’s film division. Its prowess in technological documentary suited the MoI’s need for technical training films.
While the name and the medium has changed many times over the years, the documentary tradition lives on at Shell. Its contemporary film team is part of Shell’s multi-disciplinary in-house agency, Creative Solutions. It continues making award-winning factual content that informs and educates the public, now usually released on social media platforms.

As a graduate student who is on the way to pursuing an engineer's position in low speed marine diesel companies, I would say this should be the best recording of the old diesels especially the main engines which I am fascinated by. I guess the main engines showed here might be: unknown MAN or Bergen/pielstick PC-4/Doxford opposite piston 56J series/Unknown B&W low speed and B&W K-GF series?

@jhoncho4x4 3 дня назад

Raise the compression on a standard 2 stroke dirt bike engine, add an injection system, and crank driven blower for scavenging. Opposed cylinders would be unnecessary complications. Air Cooled 4 stroke radial airplanes engines used in WW2 tanks were converted to 4 stroke diesel by cat for lend-lease sales. The Caterpillar conversion raised the compression and added a mechanical fuel injection system. Air Cooled 3hp horizontal shaft Chinese diesel engines are cheap and great size for a small motorbike or small garden tractors with their gear reduction transmission and no mower deck.

@douro20 3 дня назад

I believe Rootes-Lister was the only company to successfully commercialise an opposed-piston 2-stroke diesel for road use. There were several other companies which developed engines with a very similar design, including Auto Diesel in the US, but none were as successful.

EL MOTOR DIESEL LO MEJOR

@stanleybest8833 3 дня назад

I have a Sichuan Sifa MB168F 3 horsepower diesel. It's mounted on plate aluminum, not steel. The 20 MM crankshaft has a 1 inch adapter sleeve and it holds a 7 inch pulley for a car alternator. Straight out of the crate, the throttle restrictor bolt was turned 5 revs in to reduce the maximum speed. It runs on clean pump diesel and 15W40 oil. The oil consumption is a bit high. It has a break in period. These motors should be on every block.

@DPoner 4 часа назад

Why aluminum?

@stanleybest8833 4 часа назад

@@DPoner A thick aluminum plate is rigid and won't corrode the lugs. When you use steel, you cheat and use flexible too thin metal. It will keep eroding the bottom and it's noisy.

That ro-ro ferry left port with its stern door open (11 minute). Such lack of safety would one day result in disaster. As for diesel engines, it was invented in the 1890s - filthy, noisy and relying on dino-juice. The electric motor was invented 70 years before. What swindle did the likes of Shell pull to have diesel win?

@godfreypoon5148 2 дня назад

Do tell us. How did they do it?

@Elcicikos День назад

Everyone knows that an electric engine is better than a combustion engine. Do you know why internal combustion engines are common? Because it's easier to power them. What's the point of an electric motor being invented earlier if no one was able to make a good battery to power it? This is not just some scam, this is life.

@westelaudio943 16 часов назад

The problem isn't the electric motor. It's using galvanic corrosion as a power source i.e. batteries. Electric motors are great in low power applications or where they can be powered by the grid. They don't work well for cars, not to mention big rigs.
