@@codywilliams2560 it was build 1901, you can read it on the casting. Further down someone who works on that ship commentet it is the paddlesteamer "Uri", located in Switzerland.
It is indeed a passenger ship. DS Uri at lake Lucerne. It’s the oldest active paddlesteamer in Switzerland. The Uri has an inclined Sulzer two-cylinder superheated compound steam engine with condensation. It has an output of 650 hp
I have a cousin who travels all over the world fine tuning ships engines. He told me that sometimes a ship will vibrate and the fix is usually less than a 64th of an inch adjustment to the output shaft driving the propellers. That's amazing how precise that is.
The machining and metal finishing is a real masterpiece!! And the upkeep is phenomenal!! Absolutely beautiful!! A well oiled machine in it's truest sense!!
Just like this is a perfect example of a pointless comment that states the obvious and adds absolutely nothing to the content or discourse. Thank you for saying something that everyone already knew. Where you afraid someone didn't realize they use oil on cruise ships? Or was it just a narcissistic ploy for attention?
@@michaelhounsell3888 if my reply to a useless comment where someone just described the video is more useless than that comment, wouldn't your reply to my comment be even more useless. You kind of caught yourself in your own logic.
Going on a cruise this is what I want to see. Alaska and glaciers are fine but this is incredible. Take the kids to see and let them awe at the engineering.
You'd have to go to Switzerland to see this Engine though, as it's one of the Paddle Steamers there; most likely in Lake Lucerne. Cruise Ships usually are powered by four V12 or V16 Diesel Engines, driving 11 kV Generators which power not only the Propulsion Electric Motors, but also everything else on board. None of that is visible to Passengers though. No Idea why this Video was labeled as "Cruise Ship", probably either for Clickbait Reasons, or because some Smartasses think that every Passenger Vessel was a Cruise Ship.
I'm a retired industrial mechanic. I cruised one time and I really was interested in the engine. They wanted to charge me $100 to see the engine. Thanks for showing me one.
@@haxemb The only imported Engine is on the Paddle Steamer Neuchâtel, built by Maffei in Munich. All other Swiss Paddle Steamers have Swiss-made Engines, built either by Sulzer in Winterthur or Escher-Wyss in Zürich. The Stadt Luzern was indeed built in Roßlau/Elbe, but the Saxony-made Engine failed spectaculary after two Days, and was replaced by a Sulzer Engine.
That’s a beautiful old steam engine for that ferry. I guess technically it could be a cruise ship, but an engine room for a modern cruise ship would be the size of that entire boat!
These big engines turn SO SLOWLY, that they don’t need balancing. They don’t use any form of vibration dampening either. It’s all simply unnecessary at such crazy low rpm
В 80е годы между Козьмодемьянском и Чебоксарами ходил колесный пароход. Название не помню, маленький был. Механизмы, точь в точь, так же работали, всю дорогу смотрел, интересно было. Ээх, воспоминания.
Over 120 years old and still smooth as can be! Hats off to everyone who has ever worked on this engine for the past century+ Not really a cruise ship so much as a paddlewheel ferry, but still beautiful nonetheless
This one is triple expansion steam. Horizontal layout. No glowplugs. Love the tracks that the cylinder rod joint thingy travels on, by the way. But they DO make two stroke diesels on that scale...
Imagine sat at the side near the con rods, 1 slip, bump.... scarey business haha, but what an amazing sight you would get. Beautiful example of a machine.....
That is the cleanest engine room I have ever seen
@daveddm one of those Tesla engines. Silent. 😂 A real one rocks a ship when they start them.
Yes, and thank"God" they still use giant pistons, rather than either electric and turbines!!👍🙂🌟🌠
@@christopherscuorzo3044 that is a vintage steamengine on a museum-ship. Steamengines run incredible silent and smooth.
Right😅
Too small for even a small ship
These large ship engine builders are craftsmen on par with the greats of history.
Mostly done by computers now A-day.
Yes sir
@Rob-metoo527 is that a bad thing?

Thanks man.
That is a work of art. Just beautiful.
Not sure how they are built but they should display such machines on all these cruises. Make is shiny too, art to the eye.
Beautifully balanced.

Good God, now we're talking!!!!
Wow, this crew should be so proud of how they have maintained this engine. Immaculate! 😊
Perhaps a new ship!
@@aflaz171 at least 100 years old. Google the name on the engine castings, its an old swiss steamengine.
Most definitely a new ship no way they keep that engine room that clean

You probably won't be able to take the kids on a cruise and see the engine rooms as I think they're generally off-limits for safety reasons!!!!
God thats beautiful...the amount of work it must take to keep it all running perfectly and how clean everything is, is just unreal!
Proudness of Switzerland. 😊
@@samuelhufschmid70882you can buy nocie things with all that nazi gold eh 😂👍
How quiet and nice! A masterpiece!!!
ITS a Steamer, No noise!
Beautiful engineering and craftsmanship.
Now that is one well maintained engine..
Fine art and sculpture right there!!
Absolutely stunning!
I'm used to seeing a crankshaft the size of an average school desk meant for aircraft engines, but then I see that crankshaft and its simply amazing
Elegance at it's Finest !!
Just Beautiful 👍👍

This is a Swiss-made Steam Engine on a small Paddle Steamer on a Swiss Lake though.
@@Genius_at_Work
Do you know the name of the boat and the lake on which it runs?
@@oldfarthacks Lake Lucerne. Given that it's a Sulzer Engine, it must be the DS Uri.
@@Genius_at_WorkTrue, it’s DS Uri on lake Lucerne. They have there 4 more paddlesteamer
Amazing how quietly the rotating assembly is
Well, perhaps because the music is so LOUD !!
Why it should make much sound?
Steam engine must not be loud.
Well the rpm it runs is quite slow.
It's swiss made. Sulzer bros. Winterthur
You would not think the words "Grace and Elegance " could describe an engine but in this case they do.👍

German machine🤌👌😉
@@elloquero6543 swiss engine!!!
@@elloquero6543 hat er Recht, Gebrüder Sulzer sind Schweizer gewesen

What a neat and shiny engine
That is oddly beautiful. Amazing how smooth everything works in harmony.
Maravilha perfeito
What's odd about it?
Красиво, брутально и плачтично
Triple Expansion Steam -piston engine. Interesting to watch!
That's very cool that you can see the engine running as a passenger. That is actually a really nice looking engine.
Wow how clean it is
Wooooaaah!! Magnifique!!🤟🤟🤟🤟
Man those rod cap bolts are huge! Super cool to see.
So are those ConRods
An amazing well cared for machine!! Nice to see in action.
que coisa LINDA 😍😍😍
Looks like the engine of a Paddle Steamer.
Yes. Comming from switzerland
I once was on board of one. That was in Italy.
Sulzer engine. Of course it's Swiss.
من أعلى الهندسة فى العالم الهندسة البحرية فى محركات السفن و كهرباء السفن اتمنى التوفيق و التساهيل و السعادة و الهناء للجميع .
I have been a boilermaker and worked on many cruise ships never have I seen one that looked this clean
Low miles
thist is an old steamship from Switzterland.
So may I ask you.. what’s the deal for bearing lubrication? Why is it not in a sump of oil?
@@dertmatyuiThe conrods have individual oil lubricators. Look closely 👀
@@dertmatyui
It needs to be oiled manually with an oilcan
Beautiful engine. Love the music btw
Wish my car engine was that clean! Mad respect to those mechanics!
Its gorgeous! Tears in my eyes!
Wow super clean
Now , that's a beautiful sight.
I can eat my dinner and watch the engine parts moving😊
Absolutely beautiful!!
Such a beautiful engine
That’s how my car engine works. I press the accelerator and a little man in there turns a wheel and I get more power.
That’s a beautiful old steam engine for that ferry. I guess technically it could be a cruise ship, but an engine room for a modern cruise ship would be the size of that entire boat!
Absolutely breathtaking.
Love these old engines.👍👌👌
This is the mother of the crankshafts.
Meh, it’s actually pretty tiny when talking ship engines... absolutely beautiful machine though.
How much is that horsepower and weighting ton of that engine?
The engine look as swiss watch parts ....
its a swiss paddle steamer not a cruiseboat
Should cover in glass and allow tourist on ship to see its just so amazing to watch ❤
This gorgeous piece should be in a museum!
its the ship engine
it is a every day working museum, DS Uri, Switzerland
No!
It works, so use it!
Otherwise the ship will just end up with batteries.
😂
Love seeing all of these old machines still running. Even the oilers are little works of art themselves.
Man....ship engines just got to be the most balanced engines ever, need it in my car.
Surprisingly they aren’t crazily balanced. Just low rpms that you’ll never notice it.
These big engines turn SO SLOWLY, that they don’t need balancing. They don’t use any form of vibration dampening either.
It’s all simply unnecessary at such crazy low rpm
I would probably spend most of my cruise down there, drinking, smoking cigars, watch this masterpiece
Das ist ein Kunstwerk!
Okay pay me for vueing it then
Nice art display
This would be my favorite part of the cruise. They need to install a bar next to it so I can drink and watch it spin all day.
🧙♂️ Brilliant ! 🥳
Its not a cruise ship this is im guessing bout 100 year old paddle boat they use on rivers usually a dinner boat
There are three bars/restaurants onboard. In the front the second class salon, in the back and on the upper deck the first class
As a former ship mechanic, this is amazing. Made by Sulzer. Ironically the patents for building Sulzer naval engine are owned by...Switzerland.
As a person who just ate breakfast at Denny's I absolutely agree
A landlocked nation!

Reminds me of Waverley's engine, but older. Was thinking paddle steamer too
Salute to the workmanship and the masters who are maintaining it with dedication 👍🙏 thanks from Jawaharlal Bharat INDIA

There’s just something sexy about well maintained, machined parts.
Wow super cool 👍😎
Love the machinery, but props also to the guy with the super strength turning it all with one little wheel.
Giant engineering, ✌️✌️👍⚓️
Beautiful ! Peice of art !
1901 год. Поразительно!
How many miles we should change oil for this engine?😅
Just wondering how much oil it goes through, as each crank has its own oil resovior .
Each journal has its own oiler rather than being encased in oil. Beautiful machinery
lemme hop in my engine quick and just change the glowplug
This one is triple expansion steam. Horizontal layout. No glowplugs. Love the tracks that the cylinder rod joint thingy travels on, by the way. But they DO make two stroke diesels on that scale...
Look at the size of those connecting rods. The kind of torque that thing makes is unstoppable!!🎉
I'm really impressed with the quality of this machinery 👍👍👍
十分巨大的曲轴，帅气😎
Coisa linda esta máquina,mais praque serve??
Man I got to say that's a prettiest engine-room I have ever seen including the engine
It's not art, as so many uniformed commenters are posting. Its straightforward large scale steam powered engineering
How do you know that the they are uniformed? Anyway, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Fascinating, intriguing, mesmerizing, beautiful, powerful and all those other adjectives!
어떻게 엔진이 이리 조용하죠? 신기하네요.
Steamships make no noise like motorships. They are quiet, always.
Very very clean engine 😀😀
That is awesome🎉🎉🎉
Imagine sat at the side near the con rods, 1 slip, bump.... scarey business haha, but what an amazing sight you would get. Beautiful example of a machine.....
Wonderful engineering 🙂👍
The casting and machining is amazing
As a diesel mechanic this is art
She is clean!
Talk about a dream job. Id do that for nothing more than free room and board.
AMAZING,beautiful!!!
That be awesome job maintenance that beautiful art😅
That's a chunk of art !
It amazes me how ship engines are so big but yet are machined so precisely.
For a second, I thought that crank was gonna’ take that guy OUT!!
😮que cavalaria 😮!!! Potente máquina marítima 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍
That is so fucking amazing, how smooth this thing is working at such precision.
Gorgeous engineering 😎
Imagining the explosions in them giant cylinders to keep that much weight moving is nutz.
It’s a steam engine so there are no explosions in the cylinders! Only steam under pressure
The wall of insanely organized tools behind the operator says it all. What a Beauty ❤
Magnificent machine! Beautiful!
When I think of what we where capable with before complex technology, this is art.
At first, I thought it was a coffee grinder.
