This video, a mariner goes over what it takes to start his ship. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NJkxwa5QuA They have three diesel auxiliaries, each outputting eight hundred horsepower. The propulsion engine has thirteen thousand horsepower. The bunker oil is usually kept heated and circulating continuously. The lubricating oil is not, and that has to circulate for two hours before they can start moving. The engine room tour goes into more detail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pvxq9XumZyc Platystemon fucked around with this message at 08:12 on Aug 10, 2020 |

Fun fact: Quite a few ships and other things are powered by a variant of the turbine engine I’m sitting in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_CF6 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_LM2500 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_LM6000 54,610 shaft horse power out of the biggest variant  e: this all reminds me of the 2 stroke 2 cylinder pull start engine that the me262 used to start its engines https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn_bw79N0WI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGUqV0dl9gA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Azxzu1sqCU e.pilot fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Aug 10, 2020 |

I used to know what the CF6 air starter itself was rated at but I just discovered that some information stored in my brainparts, no longer is...

I of course knew about the Me262 replicas, but I had no idea a Jumo powered Me262 was a thing. Complete with those starters, that's pretty god drat cool.

 This PT-23 is for rent at a local-ish airport. I always thought the Fairchild trainers looked awkward in photos, but the canopy and radial really make it look like a baby T-6 Texan.  I wish there were more airports left with fun rental planes, but I think the insurance costs and maintenance costs have made everyone move to aircraft which get more hours per month.

Same... although didn't they agree to restore the one that they used as a template for the clones? Is that maybe it?

Could be. Hard to tell. Each "engine" has an air filter, a plastic tube running in from the bottom, and a metal tube going out to the central manifold. The bottom thing could be a fuel line and they could be compression ignition, I suppose. But I don't see anything that looks like a carburetor, or an ignition system, or glow plug fittings, and there's no smoke in the exhaust or soot building up on the spinning thing. I suspect they're piston motors that are powered by compressed air distributed from somewhere in the stand, and the air filters are just cosmetic. e: his channel is worth checking out -- really gorgeous work. It looks like he makes these beautiful moving models of engines but they are driven by hidden electric motors etc. rather than burning fuel.

I was going to say, those little brass caps could be covering a segment of platinum wire for a glow engine, but compressed air seems far more likely, especially if you're running it in your house, use an oiler and it'll even keep everything coated with a light coat of oil.

So this awesome video came out about a year ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bd8_vO5zrjo&t=1s And after months of waiting he finally uploaded the two follow ups. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXjydKPcX60 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHO6xrSF7Sw Maybe this isn't the right thread for it, but it seems to qualify as quality quarantine aeronautical content.

YES! Thanks for this link. I had the original bookmarked to remind me but I haven't looked in some time. If you are interested in the Pacific War, do yourself a favor and download listen to the several hours series of Dan Carlin's Hardcore History Supernova in the East. His website seems down right now, but it's fantastic... as all his podcasts are. https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-62-supernova-in-the-east-i/

It's a really well-done and informative series.

Forget that, how is he going to use any rudder pedals with ankles that spindly and why is he doing it with a clog on the right foot? Maybe to match with the bell bottom he's wearing on the left leg?

Maybe to match with the bell bottom he's wearing on the left leg? it's a moot point because he can't even reach the pedals with his legs extended. also the yoke seems to be broken because the pilot's handle is pulled out way further than the co-pilot's anyway the best relief tube story i heard was in one of these threads from an E-2 pilot (iirc). In that airplane the tube is in the back behind a little curtain and just vents directly to the outside, so when the new guy gets up to use it you wait about 20 seconds and then dial down the cabin pressure a few thousand feet, and of course the outside air tries to get back in the plane through any opening it can...
