This wartime 16mm reel was produce by the US Navy to educate crewmen in the operation of diesel engine systems on submarines. Lots of really good and clear animations make this a fascinating piece of history, and definitely a trip in the wayback machine to 1942. Enjoy!

I never realised how complicated it was just to cool an engine. Neat.
I really enjoyed this until half way through when my memory began to remind me of sweaty rotten diesel ,crawling around in slimey bilges of seaboats.
Great film. I worked on an ancient ex torpedo boat with two 14 litre RR 6 cylinder engines . Great film showing raw water and enclosed cooling ,and centrifugal oil filters.
The RR engines I worked on were left or right handed,in that the gearbox could be attached both ends if the engine for twin props.
Just don't start filling up your workshop with old engines Fran,you Ve barely enough room for electronics,audio analogue stuff, bulbs and luminaries,as well as old projectors and film stock.
Really love your techno ecclectical outlook. A fantastic engineer you are. If Reagan had given you the star wars budget years ago we d all be shopping at cost co with anti gravity personal vehicles. Your a credit to your family,freinds and influences. Top lass Fantastic.
After watching this video I completely stripped and rebuilt the engine in my truck. Fantastic — except now it drives like a submarine 😕
At my last job, the backup generators were powered by two surplus Detroit Diesel V-12s. Closed system type. Some differences, but very similar.
I really enjoy these film videos that you are doing, Fran. Thank you so very much!
Thanks so much for these films. =) I love them so much.
Thanks for continued uploading while you ain’t feeling 100%. Thank you 🙏
Just discovered this channel. It's amazing! Seeing all the videos. Thank you, Fran! Keep doing it, please
that was very cool to see, I got the " pleasurer" of being assistant engineer on a very large research vessel going up to the Bering Sea. Half way there one of the cylinders stopped working on the engine. And without stopping the engine the Head engineer and I swapped in a new piston and connecting rod on #3… It was a trip to do..this thing was huge..3 feet tall rod and you can disconnect individual cylinders while the engine is running.. but the noise and heat is horrible..and messy..
Now you're talking 🙂 I don't pretend to understand electrickery. But when it comes to actual physical bodies moving together in perfect seduction, and can be almost, just for a fleeting second, be fooled into thinking it's symbiotic, that's when I'm swimming in ambrosia. Have a lovely evening everyone.
I would really like to see a special about the Technicolor Film process. It isa mystery to me still how that all works !
Mercedes still uses this, luckily electronics can fake low emissions!
This is the necessary technical detail missing from Lennon and McCartney's Yellow Submarine.
It's amazing how not a whole lot has changed in the design of this system in almost 80 years!
If someone insists they could actually run a diesel engine on gasoline fuel but they WILL NOT get very far, it will rattle, grind, and destroy itsel 😯 and for many of the same reasons of what this video describes. Number Two kerosene aka diesel fuel has lubricating properties. Thankyou so much for uploading this video Fran 👍
At the end: "Bureau of Aertonautigs", I guess they ran out of "c" remplates 😉
Nice explanation of cooling and lubrication systems on nautical engines. I probably won't lay my hands on one, but the knowledge can probably be ported to other areas of mechanical engineering.
