@pileofiron These and similar engines are still in use today all over the production oilfield. Something to be said for simplicity. I imagine there are quite a number operating almost continuosly for over 100 years.
I`v seen this engine in person very Impressive!!!! sounds like techno dance music beat. shure love to have a keyboard player there playing a melody along with it
@flippedmysled Close, real close!! It really has about 1575 ft lbs. of torque. Not bad for a engine that runs 1/3rd of what car engines idle at. Thanks for the post!!
@flippedmysled 128 RPM. :) If you count how many times the valve opens in 30secs you get 32 so 64 strokes in 1 minute. 2 revolutions per stroke. 64 strokes/min @ 2 revolutions/stroke = 128RPM
@douro20 Ok, thanks, I like to know what I'm talking about. Now, after your info, I see the exhaust appears to be on the bottom, and I see the spark plug. I might have figured this out after looking more closely at the in-out valve action in relation to the crank rotation.
@Jeff7477 Why, for knowing more than you? That doesn't make any sense. Look up the definition of stroke and cycle. Completely different things. The fact that the terms are often misused doesn't make it right. Of course, seeing the difference assumes that you know how engines work. You could call a car engine a 4 stroke or 2 cycle. Either would be correct. A chainsaw engine could be called a 1 cycle or 2 stroke. Either one.
@ardvarkkkkk1 you are the ignorant one here... heck your fury screen name is spelled aardvark - you only put one "A".... in terms of talking about engines the terms are interchangeable.
@mustang633NY As for the spelling of a screen name, that is just to stupid to respond to. As I said before, it makes no difference how many people are wrong, they're still wrong. As a matter of fact, I was taking a bit of liberty when describing one cycle and two cycle engines simply to make it easier to get the point across. In actuality, there is no such thing as a two cycle engine. Both two stroke and four stroke engines are single cycle (this also includes jets, turbines and rotaries).
@ardvarkkkkk1 If you buy oil to mix w/ your gas for a chain saw or the like you buy 2-cycle oil. One cycle for the piston is one revolution of the crank - or down then back up for the piston... Go to Weed Eater, poulan or craftsman web pages and a 2 stroke engine is called a 2 cycle - and a 4 stroke piece of equipment is called a 4 cycle. so yes in this industry the words are often interchanged since one cycle of the piston is down and back once - or one crank revolution.
@keyboardjeff They roll the engine to a timong spot. Turn on the fuel and inject compressed air to roll the engine. Momentum runs it past top dead center.
This engine for the most part uses drip oilers on the critical parts. Piston, crank and rod. Total loss lube system. You can see some of the glass oilers in the movie. Some things are oiled manually. Thanks for the info!!! Fred
Does this beast have some kind of mechanical lubrication system or does it need to be oiled manually? Also, how is this thing cooled? What a fantastic machine! I love the noises it makes! One last thing...not to be a buzzkill but IC engines are not powered by explosions. The process is called deflagration which is different from a detonation/explosion.
@MrGotsquashed That's a good question about the piston needing a huge explosion. What happens is that the flywheel keeps the momentum of the system going. If you were to cut the fuel and/or the spark, the piston would still continue to move several times before coming to rest. The small explosions give it just enough "umph" to keep it going.
It truly is incredible the things human beings could engineer and make back then with the limited amount of knowledge and supplies... awesome vids man... keep up the good work!
@GermanCarTestsFL One (F-M) is a brand; the other (Otto cycle) is a design type- wherein air & fuel are compressed & ignited, then do work on piston. (aka gasoline engine)
this thing takes no prisoners...get a little closer with the camera and you'll see what i mean..lol..remember as a kid neighbor farmer was found impaled on spiked metal drive wheel of tractor still spinning in mud after coattails caught spikes. That old man looked like flattened road kill.
I attend that show on Oblong Ill ,they have some amazing engines there specializing in the oil field types. The two types pf powers they have are great(Band wheel,and gear)powered by Superior you can hear in this video the "thunk thunk thunk" of the barker on the smaller engine powering the gear power.
I bring my model of a push pull oil field power to the show.
Wardog, the flywheels DO NOT produce energy, they only store it! Since the fly wheels are connected together they SHARE the energy produced by the combustion of the fuel on the power stroke. What ever energy is not required to keep this 1 cyl engine revolving between power strokes is available to power other things, it does not matter how they are connected to the engine. Even though there are 2 flywheels they are connected to gether so they are essentially ONE.
This engine developes almost 2000 ft lbs torque. That would be the max energy out no matter how you hooked it up. You can utilize it anyway you want, but there would be no advantage to use both sides un
less you need to drive 2 different things. You can hook up it any way you want but the best would be a drive shaft off one side directly hooked to the crank,,
I'm looking at a Lister engine and it has two fly wheels. I've seen single generators attached via a belt run off of one fly wheel at a time. If I run a generator, one off of each of the two fly wheels on a Lister engine, I'm using all of the energy produced and generated by each of the two fly wheels. By hooking up only one drive belt to one side, IMO, your wasting the energy produced by the other fly wheel.
Multply the H.P. x 5252 and divide by the RPM's that give you the torque. You already know the rated H.P. of your Lister. You will not and can not get any more torque or H.P. by using both sides of the engine.
I'm not trying to get more torque from the engine. My point is that I can utilize the energy produced by the other flywheel and run another generator at the same time. By doing so I'm harnessing energy that would otherwise be wasted and lost. Normally I only see one generator being run off of a dual flywheel engine. If it's possible to employ another generator, why not? That was the point of my question. I'm not trying to increase the output. Just harness what's already being produced fully.
OK, here is my point. Both flywheels are connected to each other thru the crankshaft. All the energy of both flywheels is transmited to either side to what ever you are driving!! There would be no advantage of hooking something up to both sides. Your load would determine if you used all the energy produced.
@WarDog229A Sure you could hook a generator to the other flywheel but you won't get any more power. There is no power being waisted. Imagine you hooked a very large generator to this engine. As you draw power from that generator is puts a load on the engine which will slow it down. Both flywheels will slow down no matter what side you attach it too. Eventually you will stop the engine and both flywheels will be stopped. On generator can stop both flywheels. No wasted energy.
@JGMagoo BS. The energy being produced on one side is being utilized. The energy on the other side isn't. I've no misunderstanding that the drive shaft driving both fly wheels is connected. All I was asking was if there was any reason why you COULDN'T hook up a belt to the other side and utilize the energy being produced by that fly wheel? Is it really that hard to think outside of the box or is it that one side is all that can be thought of to use?
@WarDog229A Wrong, the total energy is being used. If you hook up both sides energy is divided between the 2 sides. It does not make any difference, right side, left side or both sides you only get rated H.P. and torque..
@youtubhew at 0.41 you can see four brass containers with short pipes going to the engine. These slowly dripped oil into the critical parts. The oil is just lost after that. It spins slow enough it doesn't need a constant flow like modern engines.
@youtubhew with these engines probably running around 150 rpm enough lubeication can be applyed prior to starting, it probably has some kind of external lubrication system

i messed up the equation when trying to figure out the HP :) thanks for pointing that out.

i guess i could add that the proper way to get HP from torque and rpm is (torque / 5252 X RPM)

Also remember it only runs about 200 rpm's.
