COMMENTS: - - 3:50 the man with the fire extinguisher reminds me of my first job when I was 16 at a barbecue picnic spot and squirting water over coals so they wouldn't burn the chicken. hair would smell like burnt chicken for days.

There's an engine with an exhaust, it takes a fireman's fire extinguisher to run" - if you tell me that before watching this video... you'll laugh at me!

4:50 for such a big donkey engine, why does it look like my 1963 vintage Sears and Roebuck 1 and 1 half horsepower outboard?

I'm the only one who thinks some of this is scary, imagine being in front of anyone and starting to get overloaded or something like that

Back then, when I was a young engineering student, I sailed as a Marine Engineer on a ship powered by a 9-cylinder Doxford Diesel Engine. It was made in Sunderland in 57. Each cylinder was 900 mm in diameter and had two opposing pistons: the lower part was connected to the crank like any normal engine, and the upper part was connected by a 'crosshead' that moved the crank via two connecting rods on either side of the cylinder. It was seen as the 'Rolls Royce' of marine engines at the time, but perhaps that was a bit of British bias. It was a beautiful thing. We squirted very heavy fuel oil in it and the burning sound was more of a soft 'puff' than an explosion. They were still using steam tugs in the Sri Lankan port of Columbo at the time - nice stuff and the four of them were "packed" around us as they took us to the port.
