This is truly a great friendship. The fact that Jay doesn't like to let people drive his cars is a testament to that. All of us certified car nuts are very blessed to have the opportunity to witness their combined passion for these spectacular vehicles.
You have a guy like Jay that has tons of $ and one would never expect him to have any knowledge of how cars work. Jay might be rich but one of the many things that separate him from your average rich "car guy" is he understands how engines work and appreciates a cars history. If you are a car guy ya just have to love Leno.
beerthirty...when jay was a kid in new england he work at gas stations and car dealers..he grew up in a great era...he caught the car bug..and as he made his fortune he picked up classic and antique and muscle cars..and yes your are right you do need alot of $$$ to do what he does...and most collectors dont drive their treasures...only a real gear head drives his collectables...
These Dobles are my favorite steam driven cars . The body work was also top notch by the look of those line.
And for the looks of it, could be easily light weighted and faster, by adding modern materials that are lighter and better techniques on the boiler as well on the engine to make it more efficient, such as making it open the valve less time to make the steam expand more and the boiler could have a lean burner to make it less pollutant on nox and lower temperatures.
Oh my god i love these cars.
I love how Jay explains in every steam car video the function of a steam car, the difference between Doble and Stanley cars and he is using always the same explainations (6 story buliding, experiment at school etc....) Love it! Cool cars, cool guys!
I love how in another video Jay commented - "when they're work well - they're unbelievable. When they work bad - THEY'RE UNBELIEVABLE OH MY GOD". Another great observation - it's the only car which can burn and scald you to death ... all at the same time! Seriously insanely cool tech. Near-instant start and tops out over 110 mph - when you had basically no roads that could support that speed.
What I want to know is - with 2million BTUs and 2-3000 degrees F - what emissions are left from the generator from the gasoline making the fire? I'm guessing not a whole lot.
It's a closed system, and Jay (in the JLG video) says that at that maximum heat of 3,000° (which is 1½ times the heat of molten lava), the fuel is completely combusted. No fuel exhaust goes out into the atmosphere, unlike with a steam locomotive or a Stanley (which are what Jay said you could get burned and scalded to death simultaneously, not with the Doble).
The burner is basically like an oil-furnace burner, which can be configured for low unburned hydrocarbons, low-nox emissions. Internal combustion engines suffer from flame-quenching near the cold cylinder walls, raising unburned hydrocarbon emissions, and high pressure, high temperature combustion, which raises nox emissions.
@@gregorymalchuk272 Yep, to start to remove those deposits, you would need to rev extremely close to the red in the first gear for 15 minutes, that doesn't happen on a steam car, as the combustion can be controlled.
There used to be 2 of them in our town. Howard Hughes said they were the best cars he ever owned.
I love those type of cars
Man I love steam power.... I can only imagine what a modern steam car would be like unfortunately :(
Still very inefficient.
@@wholeNwon I have to disagree
@@raydornbush The laws of thermodynamics are immutable, as Abner Doble himself pointed out. External combustion can never be made as efficient as optimized internal combustion.
@@wholeNwon That's why boilers today with modern techniques, computer modeling and optimizations can reach over 50% efficiency if not 70-80% efficiency huh...........
@@raydornbush It's still irrelevant. The combustion efficiency of my home boiler is 96%.
I would die a happy boy if I could drive to high school in any steam car
Doble the pleasure, Doble the fun.
Love Lenos garage!
Jay Leno: It's like looking into the gates of HELL, Ladies and Gentleman.
LoL 😂 that was funny
"600 feet, tall as a 6 story apartment building". The hell kind of apartment buildings have you seen Jay?
+teliots Ha ha, Yeah, Funny. I noticed that, as well. I think it must have been one of his provocative jokes, who knows. Yeah, Funny anyway.
maybe 60 story...
It actually had 575' 9" of tubing.
wholeNwon unless he added the additional 15' upgrade with the thruster package of course
Just a brain fart I guess.
*Picking up girls in a steam car. CHOO CHOO
If a guy's father could afford a Doble, the girls' mothers would gladly bring them to the young fellows. No "picking up" needed.
Bring Back Steam.....With Today's advantage of Tech
Still very inefficient.
@Autistic Boy It has been attempted and some interesting vehicles produced. Nostalgic but just impractical for several reasons.
@@wholeNwon which are?...
@@enzoperruccio volkswagen enginion, steam powered chevelle, Indy cars, Pelland steamer, etc.
@@giovannicesaramorim9adigan961 Thanks
Very interesting!
Cool
This is like going to a college course on steam-powered vehicles...
very nice...!!!!!
Very interesting.
Bring back steam!
I'd love to have one of those as a daily(ish) driver. Or any steam car/truck for that matter.
Save up.
6 story apartment building? Lol each story is 100 feet
flowmaster 2.5 exhaust on my 66 stang gave me 5 mph better trap speed, and i only swapped out the over the axle section
That’s 64million Fahrenheit 2:48

I do wonder if those steam cars had more millage to the tank then a gasoline engine of the same era
They were very inefficient.
These certainly did.It was a Mist of fuel in 1 huge cylinder,and burned totally.Once it's hot it takes much less to maintain.A multi-cylinder 'combustion'engine still a needs constant volume per cylinder too,but was maybe 60% efficient.
Water could be gotten for free,btw,when needed.I've not seen a ratio of water,and fuel carried.
How many horsepower and torque if that is the best of steamcars ?
150hp, although torque is at the 1000nm+
Wonder when someone will figure out that a high capacity battery, can be used to heat water to create steam, and bring back steam powered cars?
I guess they are all dumb....or maybe they just understand the LAWS of thermodynamics.
Cool car how much do you want for it
More
so where is the heat coming from? gas burning? so the fuel is gas .. or water..?
The fuel is gas which is burned to heat water and create steam which powers the car.
now he needs to use this as, a uber if you agree like this comet
That’s a 60 story building not 6 lol
