Pratt & Whitney R4360 from the 2010 Power-UP at the Penngrove Power & Implement Museum

Steve Phillips, curator of the Penngrove Power & Implement Museum runs the Pratt & Whitney R4360 from the Howard Hughes Spruce Goose cache of motors. This engine was restored by Steve and volunteers at the museum a few years ago. Look at our other videos for the development of the project.

Is that the "corn cob" engine?

[NastyNixels]

@AtariFTW Yes, it's a corn cob engine - four banks of seven cylinders slightly rotated to allow airflow to cool all the cylinders.

Surprised it doesn't overheat, sounds awesome though

[NastyNixels]

@CFrench78 Air cooled - that is why it has a "test prop" so that air flows through the corncob and cools all the cylinders.

Find 5 more and we'll build a B-36!

The starter will be attached at the rear accessory section on the back of the engine.

The most powerful double axle trailer ever

[gorrammit]

were radial engines like this always this difficult to start or is this one just old?

What a beautiful piece of engineering. Love the cylinder formation.
