Blackstone oil engine startup
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- 1909 10HP Blackstone oil engine was used for pumping water from a river to a market garden. The engine was sabotaged in the 1920s by someone blowing up the cylinder with explosives. A new cylinder was installed and the engine was returned to service for a number of years when it eventually fell into disuse. A number of river floodings submerged the engine and it was eventually partially buried in silt. It was recovered in the 1990s and in 1997 it was dismantled, cleaned and started again after many years of neglect. The starting procedure requires heating of the hot bulb with a blow lamp in order to vaporise the fuel ( kerosene ) and to preheat the internal combustion chamber to allow fuel ignition.
There is something so relaxing about the sound of these 'heavy breathing' engines - no frantic noises, no whirring, clattering or banging - just the clop-clop of the machine which take a deep breath every now and then.
Alysson Rowan same bro same
why It cant be upgraded? It sound can save on fuel than nowadays engine
Perfect for an apocalypse. This engine will run for the next 100 years
unless someone packs explosives in the cylinder again
@@SWAGCOWVIDEO that would be rude
yep iron+radiation cobalt 60 haaahah a touch of oil and start again
If you don't miss a greasing.
I’m looking at the play of the rocker arm on its pivot and thinking this engine needs attention if it’s going to be run hard for long.
As a mechanic I see/hear all the slop in those rusty old fulcrums and bushings and all...and I want to just tear into it and make it all better....but at the same time I really love the symphony of racket and how fault-tolerant it is. I've watched this video probably dozens of times over the years and it never gets old. Thanks!
That's what gives it personalty all the worn parts and they had fairly low tollernces from new
You fix one thing on something that old and you have to over haul another thing and another otherwise it wouldn't run right! That's the beauty of it, the wear is consistent in a way this old bird runs just fine (for now) lol
Something ive wanted to see. These only types of machines being made with todays precision. How powerful and smooth they'd be. Or how difficult it would be to operate now that everything is so tight
@@animalproductions3188 would be good with better tolerences if we keep it a low stress engine
These things produce so little power compared to their size, the wear is close to nothing because of that
With today's tech (like proper oiling, it hurts seing these vavles being pushed with 0 lubrification whatsoever)
Worked on one before. Ad to make the bearings. To keep snow flakes at bay I will not tell what we made them from. I was 8 years old and thought it was better than a new car.
I still have no idea why, but I always find some strange sense of satisfaction watching old things run again.

Он что на солиделе работает?😳🙄
Wait til i get my knees fixed. Then you will see an old thing running again
Thats what i told your mom ❤
This is the best old engine video on RUclips, by far. No talking, no ridiculous music, just the beauty of the machine. All these other guys could take lessons from your perfectly classic style. Thanks, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute.
I am a simple man, I see old engine, I click old engine.
Who else thinks the sound is very satisfying?
Sounds like a dance song to me.
Wonderful sound!!!.
Hypnotising!
The sound is surprisingly wonderful. This motor is way before my time and I can say they definitely dont make em like they use too that's for sure
Omg
I am blown away by how smooth and quiet that motor is.
Exactly.
But When Its inside, Its loud af.
Seriously.
It's only running at 60ish rpms... of course it's going to be quiet
yes that what I think
Well it is a hit and miss engine - meaning it only fires every so often to keep the engine at a set speed. When there's no load, they're incredibly efficient and quiet, since all the movement is coming purely from the flywheel.
under load she hollers a little bit.
this sounds like the engine Dr seuss has in all his vehicles.
Nah bro he has 2jz's. They go VROOM
Ok
sounds like the machine that makes everlasting gobstoppers.
I remember one of these from when I was kid ... in Northern Rhodesia 1953 on a tobacco farm ... ran a generator for the curing barn lighting and main house !
It was still in service in the late 1970's ...
I was waiting for it to sound like a diesel engine after startup. Then I realized it was running lol
😂❤
I dont get it 🤔🤔 What makes her tick??
😂😂😂😂
@@xVoidCypher Really low RPM, with all the torque. It also doesn't fire every time, only firing when it needs to go faster. That sneezing sound is the exhaust pulse from when it does fire.
@@xVoidCypher that little steel thing inside the spring tapping it...
I use to date this older woman back when I was 19. She use to make the same noises and required similar maintenance. She reminded me of the great depression.
I can still smell her if I close my eyes. What a woman
Its givin me great depression just thinking about it.
Did you have to heat her with a torch to get her turned on too?
Wtf what was she 80 lol you got issues
😆
Issues !!! 😆😆😆😆😆😆
beautiful old engine, that's the stuff that built industrial empires!
Aussie50 Heh, somehow i just knew you'd be in the comment section Ed. :))
aserta hehe, I love old engine vids :D
Aussie50 me to sounds great
"But what's it do?"
Wonka: "Can't you see? It makes everlasting gobstoppers!"
Exactly that noise! 😄
Thought exactly the same thing! Haha
Sounds like a smoker of 52 years trying to open a pack marlboros.

Bruh 🤣
Lol
LMAOO
It’s amazing how it still works, clearly without being rebuilt. The slop in some of those parts is baffling but still doesn’t pose a problem. What an awesome machine!
It makes you wonder how many hours this beast has gone on for.
With something that big and old you don't need tolerances.
You just need a bit of elbow grease and a blowtorch
That engine is a work of art. It is beautiful in its simplicity. The valve action and intermittent cam actuation suggest that it has characteristics similar to the 'hit and miss' engines.
Exactly
Damned amazing. There is so much precise mechanical integration - from external cams that "by the grease of God go forth..." to the oil drip nozzle keeping the piston wet, the thing is marvelous.
Its fascinating to watch running, that engine seems to have its own personality.
***** As if it's alive!
These old engines are so fun to watch. Most of their moving parts are exposed so you can actually see and hear how they work. Not how modern combustion engines are - all neatly tucked away in enclosures.
And with a ton of noise cancelation to ensure you barely hear a thing
Sean Place if a modern car engine was like this you would be sat on top of a car as big as a tank and would need ear protection and a good hour to get the thing going and greased oiled and fired up these are good engines to look at and be models but now days the way they're made are more efficient and give out much less harmful gasses
But in the event of an emp which one will still run?
depends how complicated your engine ignition or fuel pump is really a mech fuel pump and and distributor for ignition would mean the car would be fine .. modern cars with computers would probably still run but would be going crazy like winder wipers going on and only 3 cylinders firing ... but if your talking like a engine like this one then a modern day engine made like this with one cylinder would probably have a simple ignition and still run .........
until you try to run them way too fast
Imagine walking through a rural area in the middle of a night and hear that thing coming at you from a distance
I would shit myself
It'd be amazing seeing that on a old rat creation. Period correct. Steam punk
@@ronaldbernal7558 same lol
Its a stationary industrial engine lol
@@hrbestalkinme3690 Shh, dont say that
Great video! I love all the detailed close-up shots and the way you captured all of the action and didn't race around. Took your time and let us see each part working. Two thumbs-up if I could.
Thankyou for your feedback, glad you liked the vid. I made an effort to film the working parts in detail to show how it all runs, these engines are great to see running.
***** Nice to see that it still runs after all it's been through. Robust was the name of the game back in the era when this was built. I'd love to see and hear what it was like when working under a heavy load.
...
eSPeeScotty. if that brand new truck is yours I'm 13 and I'm building my own
Really a nice vid and agree that having the closeups shots and dwelling at the shots. Lets viewers like me to mesmerize at the scene and take it in.
What a great video. Straight to it with no daft music.
This machine has an "organic" highly syncopated yet gentle sound. Reminds me of Chuck Berry or Dixieland.
+Jeff Moore did somebody say nonsense buzzwords?
I think you said nonsense buzzwords. I didn't bring it up and I don't know what you mean.
+Jeff Moore it was in reference to you saying it has a "organic tone" and "syncopated"
Dominico97 The sound of modern engines is mostly constant noises without discernable beats, like wind.
A lot of organic sounds (crickets, birds, dogs, etc...) start and stop. Sorry if my word choice doesn't compute for you.
The syncopation is obvious in this engine, but to get you started: syncopation is the combination of off beats combined with regular beats, at which this engine excels. The "off" beats are very off, more than you would typically find in music, but along the same lines.
This engine is more reggae than swing for that reason.
I hope you recognize that even if I'm wrong or hyperbolic, it doesn't really matter. What does matter is good manners.
Nobody told the old girl she’s got about 25 things worn out on her and she’d never run again. I feel fortunate to have seen this. Thanks very much for posting.
That's the sound of the industrial revolution. Great vid.
You can count the strokes while it's running... awesome.
Chyba najpiękniejszy mechaniczny dźwięk jaki może wydobywać silnik!
So beautiful and so calm!
I almost fell asleep listening to this...
If you're sitting on a folding chair chillin' next to one with your feet on the spokes of the transporter wheel your heart beat actually slows to match the beat of the engine!
The new Nine Inch Nails album is great.
That is the coolest sounding engine. It sure beats the deafening roar of modern engines.
clockguy2 have you heard a twin turbo lambo v12?
Sounds almost like a living breathing mechanical beast, just awesome to watch & hear!
These old engines are a real work of art, and great for teaching engineering. It's so sad to think that so many have fallen to neglect or just been discarded. I'd love to have one, or a an old Lister or something, though I have no idea where to look for them.
they are still used in other regions
i love the music it makes
sounds like some african music. lol.
Africans don't make shit like this man.

After 10 years of RUclips and watching countless amount of videos and hearing so many engines ,this always will be the best sounding engine of all!
Built to last. Unlike anything sold today.

You gotdanged right!
Except for a Henry lever action rifle!
These old mules seem to be able to work indefinitely with some minimal maintenance. Back then things were made to last.
Lucian Ene back then machines were relatively simple and operated at low rpm's so engines back then were never put under lots of stress so they rarely broke down.
yep, and on U.S. soil. I really don't see plastic engines lasting the test of time or an Air-Hogs, compressed air engine making a comeback.
lewinsky hillary I have a few of the Air hog compressed engine plans. I was lucky enough to find on EBay around 5 years ago. They are really neat.
Lucian Ene Everything today has to be safe over reliable.
Keith Stout I really wish mine didn't break. It just flew so well.
Made in Stamford UK originally & exported all over the world for pumping running sawmills, generators & all manner of things! Wonderful sound and good to see and hear one running again!
Its interesting to see where these engines end up, some are found in abandoned mining sites in remote, rugged country in the Australian outback most likely hauled in by teams of horses originally.
Sadly the factory has now been demolished.
Not many modern car engines would run after been flooded and buried for years.
+Richard Harris I love how you somehow use that as a testament to quality
Kristoffer Lilja
Unintentionally :-) This area was a strong hold of engineering from the 1800s onward but sadly as with many such enterprises it is in serious decline.
The company I worked for employed over 300 people locally in the 1980's buy now less then 300.
Kristoffer Lilja
Yes, because at the time they were quality! The very fact that this one has stood outside in all weathers for probably a hundred years yet is still working proves that point. In their day there were few engines around with such robust capability combined with a basic, easy to understand and repair structure. Perhaps you might quantify 'quality' in a machine such as this if it allowed you to work safely in a mine, or easily in a factory of some kind. A quality machine does not have to be all bright and shiny, modern, fashionable or electronic it merely has to work efficiently, as cheaply as possible for as long as possible.
Seeing the piston slamming in and out reminded me of my wedding night 28 years ago...
No luck since huh?
my uncle collects these engines and restores them back to original and has won countless shows with them they look really cool when there painted up with all the gauges on in brass.
Patrick Ancona yes they do look good but when you see them restored back to original with a nice coat of paing and clean brass they look great too
Very nice engine with an amazing sound, like it is alive The story behind it also makes it special. Excellent job restoring it
Thanks, glad you like it.
The little * boing * sounds are priceless. Great sounds.....would you consider a video explaining what we're seeing and hearing?
Nice rhythm👴
Ok 👴

Lots of old engines need oilers/wipers in constant attendance, lubing & wiping clean. Simply can't afford that nowadays, but then modern engines keep their bits that need to be kept clean & lubed under cover.
Imagine long-term running of an engine like this Blackstone, in the "Dust Bowl" or the SW! Good Luck!
+Jacques Blaque The oil wicks would take quite a while to use the oil in the boxes. It would probably only need topping up a few mm every half an hour.
They’d have to run ole Chevy 350s and ford 300s
Re watching your video again, almost the same starting principle as the Lanz Bulldog farm tractor. Preheat the hot bulb and throw the flywheel into the compression, (Some Lanz tractors you had to put the steering wheel on the crank to give it a swing) and hope it starts in the correct direction as the Lanz was a two stroke diesel engine.
Awesome sound.
I could listen to that run all day..
yep me too.
Hypnotizing isn't it..
biggoldnugget Yes, it is :v
Detroit Techno
Something about the sound of it all, I could just listen to it all day.
wtf?! my bro had 4k video 10 years ago, there are bigger channels that still record all in 720p. Props to you my man, this video was amazing in every detail.
over 100 years old and only 10hp. still puts out more torque than a civic
I remember watching this video in my childhood and just loving the way it sounded, I come back now and it sounds as good as the day I first saw it. I've probably watched this video 30 times over the years
I'm in the same boat
Sounds like it's sneezing occasionally aaa-choo!! :) Awesome...
This thing isn't doing much more than a rotation per second. 10 HP at 70 RPM is *OVER 9000 TORQUE!!!!*
I would guess at least 120 rpm.
Lawrence Lentini That's not how that works. The formula for torque doesn't involve horsepower and rpm. Idk how you could have even gotten 9000 from 10 and 70 anyway. Torque is force at a distance, and we don't even have the information required to figure out the torque of this engine.
𖥠 ꧁Æ♱ℍᴲᮄℜᴲⅅ꧂𖥠 you’re talking about static torque. Lawrence is referring to dynamic torque. Here’s a cool article to read www.caranddriver.com/news/horsepower-vs-torque-whats-the-difference.

This engine sounds like a cartoon
There's something oddly satisfying about the noises this engine produces.
That's the best sounding band I've hear in ages 😂
All the slop and wear in everything, I’m surprised it even fired up. My modern diesel has one sensor slightly off and throws an epic hissy fit!
And a mean repair bill to boot .
This engine never fails you.
What a beautiful piece of machinery. The rhythm and the sound are mesmerizing. I wonder how many 2018 engines will be running 110 years from now in 2128? Not many, I'll bet.
Amazing sound! Very quiet as well, would make a good generator.

@Outdoor Daily probably because of the classic willie wonka and the Chocolate Factory when they go into the inventing room it shows a machine covered up. Willie turns it on and it made sounds similar to this oil engine nostalgia feeling. Get it now?

Still doesn't burn as much oil as my truck
It would be nice to use that to drive a air compressor.... Better sounding then the noisy oil less junk

If it was built tighter like modern engines it wouldn’t be alive all these years later. Beautiful piece of machinery.
oil and steel, nothing else :D
waterfall792 hey there might be tiny amounts of paint left. Also there is some fuel I think it runs in kerosene.
Ferguson101 kerosene runs the same as Diesel fuel, both are also known as home heating oil in some parts of the world
Morgan Ruegsegger kero is number 1
Diesel and heating oil number 2
Definitely not the same when it gets cold out. Kero is more refined with a lower wax content and higher btu output
And cast iron... and some gasket materials... Oh and there has to be some lead and asbestos in it. Because old.
...and a lot of rust

When I was about 10 (50 years back) an old bloke started an engine like this. He soaked a cloth in petrol and as he turned the flywheel the flames sucked in to the engine. Much smaller than this engine. It used to make electricity before the place got wired up. But the old bloke would start the engine for fun.. It amazed me. Still does.
I will acquire one of these engines for the upcoming apocalypse. With a ready supply of unwanted used crankcase oil, an old Lincoln generator welder and this engine, I'll be sipping a cool mint julep, playing Xbox, revelling in my surplus electrons while the zombie hoard destroys mankind around me.

As a mechanic. I can't stop watching this. Just so much going on. Amazing.
The new Volkswagen clean burn engine!
I havent brought my VW to the dealership since the recall. When they do the recall for the emissions scandal the fuel economy goes from 50mpg to 20mpg.
What a great sound it makes! Like something from a Steamboat Willie cartoon.
It is remarkable that this still runs but what is more remarkable is that someone designed this thing.
What is the valves function on the side that only activates every now and then?
That valve is known as a vapour valve which allows vapourised fuel into the combustion chamber and its controlled by the speed governor to regulate the engine speed. When the engine is running with no load, the vapor valve will operate intermittently to maintain set speed but under load that valve will operate more consistently. Hope that helps, have a great day!
also known as a hit and miss engine, altho i never seen one that used kero instead of gas
thanks for the answer. i love these old engines but never knew what that valve did
+Poly Bun I think you will find that it is the vapour valve which intakes a charge or kerosine out of the carburetor into the hot bulb which vaporizes it. The valve is controlled by a hit and miss style governor which will only work that valve when the engine slows.
+Jakeeeeyyyy The valve that rocks/oscillates that is on top of the hot bulb is a timing valve to prevent pre combustion of the vapour. The other conventional looking valve on top is an air valve. On my Channel I am going to put up a instructional video soon of how this sort of motor works and how to start and stop one.
