@@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.
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.
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
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!!

@@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!
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.
In my mind this is how the engine room in the Star ship Enterprise looks, Scotty is the guy turning the wheel and capt Kirk is shouting down the tannoy... Can't you make this thing go any faster Scotty? To which Scotty replies- I'm givin' it all she's got capt, she canee take any more, if I push it any harder, the whole thing will blow⚠️😳😲😁
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
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.....
Wowh .... as sailor I'd like yo have a time travelling back into into these times to appreciate the hard working engineers in hot engine compartments running these steam engines under high risks for bringing emigrants from Europe to the new world. Tks for sharing
I have always dreamed of being a mechanic on a ship like that! I would have been good at keeping things in order! Thanks for showing this. I was on a cruise ship once and they wouldn’t let me in the engine room.
That’s no cruise ship engine, that’s a horizontal “double acting” / compound steam engine aboard what was originally a side paddle steam ferry. To anyone noting how clean the engine is, granted it has been EXTREMELY meticulously maintained but the fact it is a reciprocating steam engine and not an internal combustion engine is the main factor in her clean, smooth operation. With a reciprocating steam engine the force driving the engine itself comes from only steam, plus a tiny bit of steam oil injected into the cylinder. All journal bearings are kept topped up on oil in their oil cups and don’t result in much spillage / flinging of oil or require a ton of oil to be added thanks in large part to the relatively low speed the engine rotates, this clip looks like she’s turning somewhere around 60-70 RPM, where a modern diesel or diesel-electric powerplant on a ship that size would be running somewhere in the neighborhood of 800-1000 RPM.
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.

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.

Perhaps a new ship!
@@aflaz171 at least 100 years old. Google the name on the engine castings, its an old swiss steamengine.

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!!!!
Now that is one well maintained engine..
Beautiful engineering and craftsmanship.
How quiet and nice! A masterpiece!!!
ITS a Steamer, No noise!
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
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

Absolutely stunning!
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.
Triple Expansion Steam -piston engine. Interesting to watch!

@@oldfarthacks Lake Lucerne. Given that it's a Sulzer Engine, it must be the DS Uri.

Precision suisse ;-)
This is the mother of the crankshafts.
Meh, it’s actually pretty tiny when talking ship engines... absolutely beautiful machine though.
Wow! This is beautiful!
That is oddly beautiful. Amazing how smooth everything works in harmony.
Maravilha perfeito
What's odd about it?
Each journal has its own oiler rather than being encased in oil. Beautiful machinery
Man those rod cap bolts are huge! Super cool to see.
So are those ConRods
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.
An amazing well cared for machine!! Nice to see in action.
Das ist ein Kunstwerk!
Okay pay me for vueing it then
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!
@dipinmylip1171 make sure you don't choke.
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
Wow super clean
That's very cool that you can see the engine running as a passenger. That is actually a really nice looking 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!
Look at the size of those connecting rods. The kind of torque that thing makes is unstoppable!!🎉

Reminds me of Waverley's engine, but older. Was thinking paddle steamer too
What a neat and shiny engine
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
Its gorgeous! Tears in my eyes!
When I think of what we where capable with before complex technology, this is art.

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
Absolutely beautiful!!
It's spotless?! After that impression, it hit me how large, and well running it was.
If 1901 is the year of manufacture, it is extraordinary.
On the top of my list of things I do NOT want to fall into.
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.
😂
How much is that horsepower and weighting ton of that engine?
Magnifique 😮!!! Fantasmagorique c'est Gros Engins juste juste Faire Tourné avec un Volant de Vanne en Plus... Quel Boulot Chapeau l'artiste 😉🙋

南無阿彌陀佛！感恩好完美引擎設計！
Wish my car engine was that clean! Mad respect to those mechanics!
1901 год. Поразительно!
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.
Love seeing all of these old machines still running. Even the oilers are little works of art themselves.
At first, I thought it was a coffee grinder.
十分巨大的曲轴，帅气😎
Coisa linda esta máquina,mais praque serve??
Just wondering how much oil it goes through, as each crank has its own oil resovior .
Should cover in glass and allow tourist on ship to see its just so amazing to watch ❤
어떻게 엔진이 이리 조용하죠? 신기하네요.
Steamships make no noise like motorships. They are quiet, always.
There’s just something sexy about well maintained, machined parts.

I would probably spend most of my cruise down there, drinking, smoking cigars, watch this masterpiece
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
For a second, I thought that crank was gonna’ take that guy OUT!!
It amazes me how ship engines are so big but yet are machined so precisely.

That's got to have some serious internal oiling going on there for such a clean engine.
It's an antique steam engine. Lot's oil is used but not in the same way as a internal combustion engine.

Love the machinery, but props also to the guy with the super strength turning it all with one little wheel.

Nope - check the guy on the floor - he's winding it up.
