What a beauty

[loatherd]

Cool, absolute the dog's bollox!

@superwrench4 Fairbanks-Morse diesels were also used in US Navy YTB's,YOG's and other auxiliary vessels and they were used in the early ALCO diesel locomotives.They could run on some of the lowest grade fuels and do it reliably which was necessary considering some of the places they were used.

In here's our phantom; Johann.

[Mercmad]

In Australia,Glen Innes NSW, they had a diesel powered power station and one of the Engines was WW1 MAN diesel from a German Submarine. Unfortunately it was scrapped in 1987 . An amazing piece of workmanship.

[superwrench4]

We had shitty torpedoes but no less than the Captains in the Pacific Fleet extolled the virtues of the Fairbanks Morse engines and their capability to be oversped on escapes on the surface and not one failed on a patrol. You're the one dreaming.

[Fennec2828]

M.A.N. diesels also served as main propulsion units for DKM Graf Spee,DKM Lutzow (formerly Duetschland) and some other major surface units of Hitler's navy.Their range and reliability made Graf Spee a force to be reckoned with as the Royal Navy learned while chasing her all over the South Atlantic.

[Trillios]

@Fennec2828 they where also used in Norwegian ships after the war :P

[berntd]

I sailed with SKL diesel and it was just as impressive.

Idle 45rpm full speed 330rpm. I still think of it every day!!!

Nice!!

[christianguitarest]

so smooth!

[pr3ach3r305]

how manny horse power that think has oh and torque

[superwrench4]

Fairbanks-Morse My friends. The commander of the Pacific Fleet in WW2 slammed American torpedoes but said without a doubt the FM diesels in the subs was by far the best.

[ollonsvin]

@superwrench4 in your American dream maby

[tinmanfromjbb]

That is amazing!!!! The Detroit sixty is good....but that german iron is more precise and without a computer.

[MegaBartSmart]

what a heap.....the germans are lucky a detroit diesel wasnt in hot pursuit or they all would of been sunk

[LPC780]

Read you history, these are the engines that ran the allies ragged in WW2, fast, dependable, and well engineered, it was into the 1950,s before the rest of the world cought but with this level of quality

[1966omc]

@MegaBartSmart those were some of the best diesel engines you could get your hands on at that time

[MrTodd198126]

@MegaBartSmart You are joking I hope? Considering that the Germans actually invented the diesel engine? German engineering including Mercs, Audis, BMW's etc etc piss all over anything American and as a Brit it's hard for me to admit that the Germans are better at anything but its a fact. Can't beat German precision and safety.

[MrKeukendeur]

loopt echt supermooi ik kan hier echt de hele dag wel naar luisteren:)

btw loopt ie 2 kanten op of heeft/had ie een keerkoppeling aanboord ?

[aquadomus]

@MrKeukendeur Hij draait maar een kant op ivm de dynamo .Als ik goed voorgelicht ben is er voor de vooruit een vaste koppeling met de schroefas , als hij achteruit moet word dit ontkoppelt en dan moet de electromotor achteruit draaien. gr louis.

[1WOEndrass]

Na Johann,alles gut geschmiert.... ?!:-)!!!

[mainminevin]

@1WOEndrass Das Boot =P

[Haffschlappe]

Ich glaube der läuft, mensch der läuft :) ;)

[butteheim]

That´s awesome!!

15 maart 2011, NOS: De Koninklijke Marine heeft 1,5 jaar geleden een Duitse U-Boot uit de 1e Wereldoorlog gevonden. Dat gebeurde ten noorden van Terschelling, waar een marineschip bezig was met het in kaart brengen van vaarroutes.

Het gevonden schip is de Duitse U-106, die in 1917 op een mijn voer. Daarbij vielen 41 doden. Het schip blijft liggen op de plaats waar het is gevonden en wordt een oorlogsgraf. Mogelijk komt er nog een herdenkingsceremonie op zee.

[MissingName21]

I would happily travel halfway across the world just to listen to that in person.

[GOUGOUNETTE]

the old man know was is doing..yeaaa

[web1bastler]

Ähäm das heisst nich U-boat in englisch sondern submarine

[schIecht]

@web1bastler Briten bspw benutzen in Ahnlehnung an WW1 und -WW2 "U-Boat" vom deutschen Wort Boot her

[mentalmidget1960]

80 bar?? use 30 bar to start my engine at the vintage shows. would love to have a good look at that one of yours.

[oconnb00]

Sorry, To clarify ....Is it possible to visit your museum to see the engine running?

[aquadomus]

@oconnb00 Adres; Nanengat 7a. Papendrecht. Nederland.

Maar ze moeten verhuizen en dat wordt een hele klus. Ga even langs en vraag naar Peter.

gr Louis

[oconnb00]

Fantastic. When is it possible to see the engine running? 

[melevy]

@oconnb00 - at about 1:07

[t28cj]

nice little engine :)

[gdvaeip]

80 atm inspuitdruk

dus geen startdruk

GDV.

[bugsier5]

luchtstart 80 bar????

30 bar is toch meest het matje?
