V 1 Engine Run

[OutlawstarOOI]

Damn that has to be really load! I bet people passing by we're like oh shit! And ducked haha

[freddymathis820]

This video went viral on Sweden



[thesweatleaf]

Yes

[schuur10]

Viola'''?  did you mean voila (French) ?

[AlistairTheRunner]

What is it about the text on these videos that want to make me bludgeon the person who did it to death with a mallet?

[thesweatleaf]

@AlistairTheRunner I'm not a doctor but I think it's the fact that you're an asshole.

[SuperDrKas]

@AlistairTheRunner Yeah, Seriously!

[mcwolfus]

Hear the car aarms going off, I bet that was fucking loud.

[Cokecanninja]

Cool. I was planning to build one of these, I even got the blueprints. Why didn't I? The blueprints were is German, lol.

[thesweatleaf]

Air is being pumped in through the front. I believe it can run until the compressor stops or the fuel supply does.

[DougsterCanada1]

Unfortunately there is no moving air across it's surface, no doubt limiting the run time.

[thesweatleaf]

@Rooster1Cogburn This isn't my engine or my team. I was only lucky to be in the right place at the right time. I'm not sure how to take your comment but just know that this video is of an important historical artifact that many people will have no other chance to see.

[mrfuzzles92]

love the car horn!

[DougsterCanada1]

@mrfuzzles92 That is a modern air raid horn, the radar still works! Our spotter have reported a single V-1 heading over the channel now, can you assign some air cover? Bloody Jerry!

[f1baker]

can see at last see why people said they sounded like motorbikes...

[maxtypea]

glad they made the engineering leaps and bounds for the rest of us and REALLY glad they lost the war

[DominikDrinkhahn]

some day the Aluminium lamella valves will be worn out. this engine is quite simple and weren't built to last long. a few hours runtime.

[BrainDamageEclips]

Love that sound 

[TheHouseBlog]

* Not in Stores

* Made in Germany

* Beware of Imitators

"Made in Germany! You know the Germans always make good stuff"

:P

[collierman57]

I worked for a large German engineering company as a service engineer. Not all German products are 100% perfect as proved by some of the rubbish that we had to rework before delivery to the customer. I could also mention the trouble my friend had with his £22000 BMW's front suspension.....but I won't.

[Unterkaka]

German Power! god Job. schön gemacht!!!!!

[pinselplins]

thanks for using german products ;)

[upajos]

"Viola"??? I thought that was a wooden string instrument played in symphony orchestras.

[hoppinonabronzeleg]

Fantastic, love the fact that somebody cares enough to fire one up after all these years.... any chance you'll be doing a few more this year?????

[thesweatleaf]

@hoppinonabronzeleg From what I hear, it gets fired up everyone few months or so. I do need to make it clear that I'm not in the shot, nor am I in any way associated with the folks that run that motor.

[CykoNL]

@thesweatleaf

its a pulse jet engine, still a jet engine but very different from a ram jet or any other type of engine

[faffaflunkie]

That thing was about to to turn cherry red. Those engines cannot handle static testing for more than a few seconds.

[pkt42]

@thesweatleaf It's a pulse jet rather than a ram jet.

The pulse jet sucks in air and compresses it with harmonic pressure waves bouncing up and down the length of the tube. Ignition comes in pulses as the wave of compressed air mingles with the fuel in the tube. A ram jet uses high speed compress the incoming airflow, but ignition is continuous.

Pulse jets are just great for generating the most god-awful noise you ever heard!

[GRATZIANI2002]

@thesweatleaf is pulsejet engine , not ramjet..

[openwheelmanic]

Great Vid - talk about a technology demonstrator, up next how about a piloted v1??

[UCMS30Z]

@thesweatleaf Actually, it's a Pulse jet. Ram jets can't make power when they are stationary, and instead rely on the compression of the incoming air to power them. Pulse jets however can run at any speed (though above ~400mph they lose most of their efficiency), and rely instead on either valves to allow air into the combustion chamber (like the Argus engine shown), or on the shape of the engine (as on a valveless pulse jet design)

[onslaughtalpha]

so, what are you doing with this "thing"?

[andywhiteley1]

@thesweatleaf no i mean what sort of thurst, hp would this = out to

[NLmonsterNL]

@hermannk u can make one yourself it not hard

[Musicman55ism]

@hermannk only its a copy

[kooziejr]

idiot standing there lucky didnt blow up

[hermadur]

Love this sound ^___^

[SnooperSquirrelFilms]

Even though not an original WW2 V-1 engine , still a very intresting to here a copy run again ...good job..

[superhornet59]

correct me if i'm wrong but this looks like the same engine that pushed that same pickup truck in another video.. and i understand there was a demonstration recently of a genuine original german pulsejet with original valves and everything pushing a truck up to 30mph

So I'm tempted to say, through connection, this is that original i read about.

but i could be wrong.

[Alembic25]

The modern equivalent of this is the PDW or Pulse Detonation Wave engine. Much more efficient than a pulsejet it is supposed to power the rumoured Aurora spyplane. The Germans tried 2 pulsejets beneath the wings of the Me328 parasite fighter and the sheer noise from the twin engines caused structural damage to the prototype. Only the germans could have come up with something like this lolol.

[Skippie1944]

Probably not exactly the best of "rock solid German engineering", IMO! This was engineering built to last one take-off and a 30 minute flight to oblivion. This particular engine is a US "Chinese-copy" of the V-1 Argus built by Ford to power the JB-2 Loon; also underwent a lengthy rebuild so a bit misleading to say that it is still running after 60+ years. Having said that, this one is a beauty and I want one!!! :o)

[carbidegrd]

They can't run for long because it will quickly overheat without movement

[HUMBOLDTG35DRIVER]

AWSOME STUFF

can I build one of these, hmmmmm

[sking0369]

You know its loud when it sets of the car alarm.

[hybridpyrotech]

now thats a doodlebug !

[Darking22]

the german engenering is one of the best

[Pujc]

Qrwajó 5/5 :))))

[JasonMaximHall]

That's great! Thanks for posting.

[trout2006]

i want one love to start it at my back yard to fix up my next door crap heavy metal music this will fix him lol love the sound sikkkkkkkkkkkkk

[Cactilio86]

excellent vid

[LechonAtomico]

I love the sound

[sdrfgvrfgvsfravgdsvS]

lol car alarm

[riflelord2]

well it shure does buzz

[Chick6517]

well i was bored before and after watching tjhis video it gave me some entertaintment and encouraged me to keep watching haha :] nicely done.

[VERSA86]

Damn! So the audio effects from the video game Company of Heroes "are" exactly similar to the real V1 rockets ^_^

Plus this is quite similar to an episode of Future Weapons when the shows' host was firing a M134 gattling gun!!! Good vid!

[xjet]

Yeah, when we ran our pulsejet at the SantaPod drag strip in an episode of ScrapHeap Challenge, it set of car alarms too.  Great stuff.

[pokemaughan]

Wow neat. That would be an awful noise to hear, if you were on the wrong end..

[JasonMaximHall]

It's when they went quiet you started to run. When the rocket was done - that's when they come in to "land".

[deviance87]

Well actually it was from the fuel supply cutting out as the V1 tipped downward when it had reached the target. The Germans fixed this later on though so they would impact still under power.

[metalhead861]

@deviance87 The v1 tipped downward due to the control unit cutting the power when the air log impeller on the nose had realised it had travelled roughly the correct distance.
