Rap 24 hp semidiesel, third start attempt, the successful one.

[MrPigsticker]

that would make a nice biofuel unit for the farm pumping power back into the grid i would have it running all time veggie4life

[MrTpengineer]

More power than a Honda civic :)

[stratosfever]

imagine that thing in a car lol

[metro2089]

thats a workin son va bitch right there!

[enwri]

Nice work. I guess you know it's not likely to fire , but watching you bar it over with your head in line with the bar makes me nervous, and that little lug sticking out of the front of the flywheel looks like it would be perfect for removing kneecaps, or am I just being a pussy. I was thinking it was going to break off its mounts and have the flywheel hit the ground in the runaway video, now that would have been a real runaway engine, Half a ton of angry cast iron chasing you around the yard.

[mythril4]

Ohh, there it is, this video has the extinguisher..haha!

[tincho82]

What an amazing engine, I salute from Argentina (sorry for my bad english)

[pauric141]

thats a big ol block for 24 horse power

[Polybun]

Dear sir, me and my misses would like to rent this engine for reasons that shall remain secretive, but please include hardware for mounting to bed rails.

[VauxhallViva1975]

Beautiful tickover. What did this engine come out of? Boat?

[SveinHaDD]

@VauxhallViva1975 This kind of engine was widely used for ship propulsion in more than half the last century and that goes for this one as well.

[Nemodave2000]

AMAZING!!!!

[cambriacity]

Projects like that take a lot of time, patients. Glad to hear it's inside, out of the weather. Do you know what museum is going to get it when you are done?

[cambriacity]

Did this engine ever get refurbished, and put inside someplace?

[SveinHaDD]

@cambriacity Still working on it. All brass parts removed and ready for sand blasting. Low priority project so it will take some time. Stored indoors at present.

[jack9102]

its running nice now! good job! :D lolol i like how the guy at 2:55 and on is just chillin, eating a sandwich xD nice motor

[faded2blak]

hahhahaa thats awesome. i like how it started running better after it began spinning backwards

[gardnerbm]

third attempt after changing underwear

[dtmwalkthroughs]

give it a little more gas shes

[thinkpad411]

Hey!! The famous runaway! 

[MyNameIsAwes0me]

is a semidiesel kinda like a hit/miss petrol engine?

[SveinHaDD]

@MyNameIsAwes0me Hit&Miss is only one primitive way to control the rpm and is used both on old petrol and semidiesel engines. In a diesel engine, the compression temperature is high enough to ignite the injected diesel but in a semidiesel, where the compression might be something like 4:1, the compression temperature is too low and there are a glow plug that ignites the diesel when the diesel hits the plug.

[SveinHaDD]

@SveinHaDD The glowplug might be electric on newer engines but on older engines it is a steel thing that have to be heated with a blow-torch prior to starting. With the engine running, the glowplug maintains sufficient heat due to combustion temperature.

[jack9102]

@SveinHaDD so like a hot bulb engine but runs on diesel instead.

[SveinHaDD]

@jack9102 Yes,it is a hot bulb engine and it run on diesel (instead of what?)

[cambriacity]

Ayy, that's much better than the runway you had last time she ran. ; ) Went away after this smiling, not shaking.... Say, what is cooling her anyway?

Damian

[SveinHaDD]

@cambriacity At this time, nothing. Normally, there should be direct sea water cooling. Without cooling, this 8-9 minutes run is about max without overheating the engine.

[superiormusic]

Står ikkje denna motoren på Karmøy? Kan det hende at den havner på Havnadagane i Haugesund? Flott motor forresten =)

[oefel]

This is awesome! thank you SveinHaDD

[pumpmaster760]

how much toque doess she have?

[GREENVK]

She runs in both directions!

[Diddleshot]

Definitely a ship engine, beautiful thing.

[foreverthewho]

herlig maskin!

veit du om noko sånt som er til salgs??

[m0tkid]

Another question if you don't mind, what do you plan on doing with it now you have it running?

[SveinHaDD]

@m0tkid It will be refurbished and used in a private museum.

[rwc297]

wonderful video, if you dont mind...what was the original purpose of that engine? it would appear to have a massive amount of torque!

[SveinHaDD]

@rwc297 These kind of engines were widely used for ship propulsion for many decades in the last century.

[RODALCO2007]

That engine runs great. 2 stroker like the Lanz Bulldog which also could run the reverse way. Only problem is that the oil pump didn't do its job and risk of seizing the engine was a possibility.

Great video.

[Aussie50]

10 litres of water in the crank case?. I figured it would at least have the essential bits covered up!. that makes things even cooler that it can run after 2 years uncovered!

[gofixmechickenpotpie]

PUUURRRRRRRRR!!

[studleylee]

Wow only 24hp, but huge and cool!

[chromedstang07]

Am I the only one who can watch this thing for hours? I really like this motor and I don't know why.... Thumbs up for them keeping it alive.

[lasergeak]

boat engine?



[thebrassmonkey100]

wow, that was worth watching, thanks Ed.

[Aussie50]

@thebrassmonkey100 no worries ;)

[Aussie50]

Great stuff!, I wondered what happened to that crazy thing!. looks like it hadn't gone far since the runaway :D

Sounds wonderful now.
