1907 B&W Diesel 150th Anniversary Startup

[cidcampeador1952]

GRANDIOSO !!!!!!!!!

[Bidone1967]

Nice engine with great sound.

[therealcarguy]

hahahah love the engine but after i watched it enough times i noticed the idiots in the ghetto white hats all over rapping out to the beat of the engine when it starts, lower right corner lol

[KirkTheGod]

love the little puff of smoke from the exhaust valve on every stroke =]

[TheNoudio]

(the only video on wouda on you-tube, is just one of the 2 (small) compressor steam engines, used to compressed the used steam into water again, you know: the steam of those 4 _big_ engines I talked about. It really deserves much better coverage!)

[TheNoudio]

But I like this one! Of course this is not about steam. But it is nice to watch the beginning of a technology that would finally take over my love. A real sympathetic engine start!. (again on wouda: not the start of the engines, but the start of the pumping is really impressive!)

[TheNoudio]

Oh, how I like this one... I watch it over and over again, for a laugh. It makes music! I myself am a true fan of the Wouda gemaal, friesland, the netherlands. That one deserves however much better coverage on youtube: Late 1910 steam engines, tandem compound (using 2 steam temperatures/pressures). among the most efficient ever build. And they have 4 of them, driving 8 pumps which are capable of depleting an entire region of water-covered-land in 2 days.

I can't believe no one applauded once the old engine got cranking!

[casnick1]

[douro20]

[kennjohnsen]

[sixmagpies]

Love the way the crowd not sure when to clap .. because not sure it's running!

[blatadk]

:-) I just wanted to know if this baby is still started on specially occations. I come from Aalborg myself, and i study to be a marine engineer.

[douro20]

Sorry I'm not sure.

[blatadk]

Vides det, om denne motor startes ved andre lejligheder? Det er da utroligt interessant at se så gammel en motor i live, især som maskinmesterstuderende :)

[douro20]

Sorry, I don't speak Danish.

[philtripe]

@douro20 hes asking if this motor is ever started on any other occasions,and that it very interesting to engineering students...i can translate all major languages,thanks to google,lol

[36thgallardo]

101 years old. Wow.

[metalkanin]

in case it wasn't clear from the video description: This old girl used to pump water for a very large area. And yeah, it's a diesel engine.

[sz42781]

[alna1287]

Are you asking a question or making a statement?

[sz42781]

[sz42781]

1907 wasent 150 years ago?

[douro20]

The company which later became B&W was founded in 1846.
