- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- The army always needs powertrains to move stuff around and such a need was shaping during the late 1940s after the war in the Soviet Union. The OKB-500, in English the Experimental Design Bureau-500 was working on a German Junkers Juno 224 engine for aircraft application, but then the Soviets decided to step up the numbers and went with their own 42-cylinder power unit.

Soviets: "We're going to make a 4000Hp aviation engine"
Farmer: "Might look nice on my tractor!"
Lmao
The throttle body! - don't get to close to it. 😱🤣
which part of vid do you see it?
@@zubirhusein The very end big large circle.
Ouch!
That's one big sucker lol
I bet it could suck a football down a hosepipe!
"How much torque does this engine have?"
"Yes"
All of it! 😬
10k lb-ft, surely it can turn a propeller... of a container ship
This engine is perfect for a daily commuter.
Re mortgage your house every time you want to warm it up
Good alternative to the Merlin engined Rolls Royce Phantom car.
**Chrysler HEMI V8*
That is a seriously mad engine. Hard to believe such a thing exists. Good research and production. The subtitles didn't bother me.
Thanks for the video on a very cool engine. The mention of the throttle body at the end was great and perfect timing to notice it right as the huge butterfly opens to suck the air back out of the bystanders lungs
7:43
"That big thing up front is throttle body."
OMG!
7:18 there is also one in a open air Maritime Museum in Kołobrzeg, Poland. There is a "ORP Władysławowo" which is an OSA type vessel powered by three M503A2 star engines. Seeing those engines in person is really impressive.
How about the 12 Clynder two stroke diesel called the Cresy built by Rolls Royce as it produced 5000 crankshaft HP, that would make a cool video.
The Greasy? You mean the Crecy?
@@elektro3000 My bad.
Wasn't a Diesel either. And Curious Droid has already done it...
It's pretty unique since it's only few gasoline 2-stoke that use external pump instead of crankshaft pump
There is already a video out about that engine!
gonna jump-start the sun with this bad boy
No kidding lol the twin engine design with over 10,000 foot pounds of torque shit just use it to alter the Earth's orbit
That engine is insane, I sure wouldn't want to work on it. 👍
That Junkers engine was also used as the basis for the Napier Deltic diesel engine that saw a lot of use in diesel locomotives and high speed military launches in the UK for decades.
231 grams per KWh is amazing fuel economy btw. Most smaller diesels range from 240-290
1:33 Woody Harrelson is a vampire, that’s pic of him in the 40’s and he still looks the same!
Keep up the very enjoyable engine series!
I`m sure i saw this monster in a sci-fi movie. Well done!
Thanks! Between you, Sandboxx and DarkSkies, there's lots of good info out there.
7:44 Tuba sized throtlebody, now thats a german polka!
Nice and all.....but i would hate to track down a misfire on a piston
😬
thats easy just plug in the obd scanner click on toyota and it will show a list of error codes on the faulty cylinders
Sorry but my snapon scanner need a $5000 update im not willing to pay to find the fault 😔
Now that thing sounds brutal
the throttle body could swallow a small child lmao
Amazing engineering marvels 🙏
An absolute astounding engine for its time.
Phenomenal History explanation and a sound to make it roar the skies.
Sadly not the skies but the seas,but only the submarines can hear it lol.
Behold, the magnificent 56 cylinder engine, absolute monster!
Russians: Make it double and we're good.
Don't forget the 112 cylinder version
Even with the addition of a turbo and a supercharger, a compression ratio of 13/1 seems really low for a diesel.
Soviet fuel in 50-60's had very low quality, i think it is main reason
@@user-dolbeeb7Up0i That wouldn't affect diesels, though. As long as it burns and doesn't have too many twigs in it, diesels are good to go.
hi visio
a rare theme
thre is a plenty of weird and intresting aircraft engine designs
As far as I know there was a junkers jumo 223 version, it was half the size in displacement but still had for cranks and actually started and was tested
that is the pornographier throttle ever.
Great video, another fascinating engine not normally seen!
Yakovlev are now mostly known for their VTOL fighters.
What a beast! As a huge fan of ICE this just went near the top of my list.
It only took 112 cylinders
@@plap. That was a separate engine altogether that has 112 cylinders, this is the 42 cylinder radial version
@@TheSilverShadow17 ya 2 56 cylinder engines based off the same architecture bolted together
@@plap. Oddly enough there is no footage of the 112 cylinder at all on YT so idk how VisioRacer managed to find it. Or it could be how I'm looking it up
@@TheSilverShadow17 iv definitely never seen it before it's bonkers
He did say two.pistons per cylinder too witch would be 224 pistons
There is a M503A-2 42-cylinder at the Museum Fahrzeug - Technik - Luftfahrt in Bad Ischl, Austria, about an hour from Salzburg. If you like engines it really gets your attention.
Dang, each cylinder on the last few iterations was 3.4 liters!
Dang, give me 2 for my truck, 6.8L is big enuff.
That dragonfire tractor is a wicked machine
Great video of a very impressive engine!
Bizarre would be an understatement
And we though Napier Deltic engines were insane!
That throttle body 😆 what a monster of engineering
I think we underestimate a great deal that throttle body's butterfly if we call it butterfly... I believe it deserves to be called bat or seagull I don't know.
The thing that amazes me most is about that engine is the level of robustness and how symmetrical it is as a construction if you exclude that it has 7 heads and not 6 or 8, this decision must have been taken to fix balance issues I guess.
Great video, cheers from Greece!
There is a very practical reason to have an odd number of cylinders per bank for radial engines, I just can't remember it. All radial engines have odd number cylinders per bank, and I'm assuming the Soviets had the same reason to do it with this monstrosity.
'Millyardski bladt!!'
"Comrade A" Comrade, when will you call it quits on piston technology?
"Comrade B" NEVER...
Hey Visio, how about doing a video on OPEC engines as there's a few to look at (Junkers, Napier, Commer (interesting one, opposed pistons but one crankshaft), Leyland etc) with some interesting ideas.
Sure thing
Fascinating! wouldn't mind for alot more marine engines!
Liked for that good algorithm 👍
Imagine if this had individual throttle bodies.
That engine is as mad as a bag of bats!
I would love to see one put into a custom built land speed truck or a Pikes Peak hill climb truck
subtitles are horribly distracting. you do know YT provides subtitles, yes? when u put words on a screen, people will read them and not see any of the visuals because they're busy reading.
That engine zvezda was also used to power speed hydrofoil passenger vessels
Holy cow, i never knew aeronautical diesel engine ever existed.
I had no idea I would
Wake up and see a throttle body capable of consuming a human child
Nice Video . Keep it up.
Thanks for this video 13;1 compression wow
They destroyed the engine plans as if we cared 😂 the war was over and we had jets right afterwards.
Why does old Russian/Soviet camcorder content always look like SCP found footage?
112 cylinders and 382 liters to make 10,500hp? Nah, just put 10 turbo Honda K24’s together for the same power from 3,000lbs and 40 cylinders instead of 112 cylinders and 37,000lbs of engine
How you united that😂
Synchronising and maintaining 10 engines sound like a nightmare
"Yunkers" is the correct pronunciation for Junkers.
It should be noted that the exhaust turbine is not connected to a charge compressor , it recovers exhaust energy and supplies additional torque direct to the crankshaft
proper way to do a turbine
at lows it should help scavenge
@@Xayuap No , it is always a restriction in the exhaust system. But the restrictive losses are less than the energy recovery gains
@@paulg3336 remember that is driven by crank. ¿do you say that the turbine will scavenge if conected upside down, by the outlet?.
10.000hp? well, thats just about 9.999 more horsepower than my moped...! Lol! VERY impressive!! , thanks for this - Levi in Sweden
yea we got low compression on cylinder 41 need to tear it all down!
This case is a perfect example of the Soviet technological paradigm. Waste no resources on invention. Just copy what others have developed and then try to make it bigger. IMO, that's why they always have the fanciest obsolete stuff.
Both the UK and US used the same configuration in aircraft and tanks.
Famous dragon fire!
Epic 💪
4,000hp🔝
I can think of 2 other 42 cylinder engines. The Wright R-2250 Tornado and the French Mathis.
I was thinking , after watching a few videos with the radial aircraft engines,. I was thinking what if someone built a engine similar to this with more cylinders like a cross between this and a radial, sleeve valve driven by a cam shaft using sleeve valves for intake valves, and large exhaust valves in the head, alot like a Detroit diesel, it could be a 2 stroke, using a scavenger, and large turbos, the main difference brings 5" stroke and 6" bore, and enough cylinders to fire every 22.5° or 11.25°of rotation, or there about, so it fires with little crank rotation, or possibly fires two cylinders at once, it could be a 2t gas or diesel, or a 4 stroke,
Damn good video as allways 👍👍👍 but please do not put the subtitles in, its really anoying when watching all the details
Some people cannot understand all the way without them, some are annoyed by them. Really hard to please both sides
this is a marine diesel engine, not an aviation one
Awesome video as allways. V interesting. Im not being a dick im just saying, doesn’t look like it but i think it’s pronounced yunkers even though spelled with a J 🤷♂️. Looking forward to you maybe doing the tvr 6cyl if there was enough interest. Cheers ✌️
Napier deltic diesel engine ✊
Wonder what motivates engine engineers to lean toward more cylinders with n/a vs. less cylinders with more atmosphere jammed into them by f/i...
Depends on how much power is required and how long the engine needs to last.
After seeing that throttle body open on the front of that puller. I would definitely suggest to not be there during test firing of the engine. It might not suck you in like a jet engine, but anything lose or semi attached will make you wish you weren't there. Oh yeah, little kids might be a bad thing 😆
How about Succ Start this one as we do in a 6.0 with bad FICM
I don’t think that will fit in your Silverado lol 😂
Miata owners: 😍
This is ungodly. Jets and electric motors are so-o much simpler. Didn't anyone ever tell the Russians that?
Wonder If it would fit in my Honda Civic...
The Deltic looks small in comparison…
I had another idea for a engine, similar to a opposed piston engine, only having different strokes and/or gearing, to cause the piston one piston to be partially down the bore when peak compression occurs, allowing much more pressure to be applied to the crankshaft, if this could be worked out, finding some way to get the cylinder pressure to about 220psi with the piston down the bore about 1.5" on a 4.5" stroke, I guess ultra high compression with direct injection could do the same thing, with the loss of efficiency from the extra compression, the opposed piston could be a short stroke, about 2" maybe use offset center sprockets to get the top piston to follow the other piston down the bore, mining faster to raise the compression, then participate in the power stroke when it fires, using sleeve valves, I'm thinking with the power stroke starting with the crank at about 20° would have a lot more leverage on the crank,
Or maybe a more traditional head can be used, with a 3piece rod, with two cranks, having the rod basically bend then straighten out as it fires, if it was straight it would be too long , the other crank and rod geared together using the rotation to push the rod straight as the power stroke continues , I think it would take a cad to even explain it ,, but , why not just build multiple rotor liquid piston engines, running on methanol!? With a 200 mm wide thick rotor, with a combustion chamber in the rotor, putting the center of combustion in the small deep center, to allow a single plug to ignite the mux cleanly, basically a inverted cone with only enough. Chamber in the block to prevent the plug from being damaged, with the chamber positioned to have the force of combustion at the best location to push the rotor most effectively! Crazy,
Only 42 cylinder's?
Wow 😮
I'm from sri lanka and I've been to trinco but didn't see the monster though.
wow!
That throttle body could only be better if it was a barn-door type. Then it wouldn't have the restriction of the throttle shaft at WOT. It can also be a safety thing; if there is a backfire, the big round center-pivot throttle blade could get bent and the engine wouldn't return to idle.
Please top ten exploded engine
WOW!!!
Holy freaking ridiculous
Radial inline six....?
It must be from Texas. Everything is bigger here! 😂
We need to develop 2 stroke diesel powered aircraft engines!! i long to see the day we fly an airbus with diesel propeller engines with mast riser exhaust pipes protruding above the plane
Rolls Royce built 10 Cresy 12 cylinder two stroke diesel with rotary cylinders, it produced 5000 hp but it got scraped due to jet engines.
@@robinsage1964 thats very sad 😭😭😭
@@fidelcatsro6948 But very true thats why they only built 10 and many small 4 cylinder proof of operation models.
Эти моторы в моём городе производят🙂
You bought a Porshe?
Two years ago, but I sold it last year
Ihope you know it is a ships engine and it it was used on the OSA Boats and one is on display in Sinsheim do not dispear we know when it comes to european engines beyond cast iron america gets lost.
It's a German word, you pronounce the J as a Y. Yung-kers, not Jung-kers.
zvezdA not zvEzda
✋🏼🇦🇺👍🏼
This engine was a big disappointment... British or USA engines was a lot of more impressive....
