Miniature two-stroke "diesel engine". Note the T-bar on top for adjusting the compression. A carbureted compression ignition model engine, popularly known as a model diesel engine, is a simple compression ignition engine made for model propulsion, usually model aircraft but also model boats.
USS Silversides (SS-236). Fairbanks Morse & Co. 38 8-1/8 diesel engine. Historically, the opposed-piston engine was used in U.S. diesel-electric submarines of World War II and the 1950s. [5] Surviving diesel-electric submarines with these engines include USS Pampanito, USS Blueback, USS Ling, and USS Torsk.
Edison Motors is a Canadian electric truck manufacturing startup based in British Columbia, specializing in diesel-electric plug-in hybrid technology for semi-truck prime-mover tractor units, full-size solid axle drive trucks, and heavy solid-axle pickups; combining a generator with electric drive motors and batteries.
Initially, the "K" type engine developed in the 1930s were offered in I4, I6, I7 and I8 variants, had 2-valve cylinder heads and ran at 600-680rpm. In 1940, turbocharging became an option, boosting power output by about 61%.
All models have chassis and running gear, generator, traction motors and controls from GE, and Ingersoll Rand provided its 10 × 12 diesel engine. [6] The principle of operation was the same as modern locomotives, [ 7 ] the diesel engine driving a main generator of 600 volts DC with four axle-hung traction motors. [ 8 ]
These engines use an electrically heated glow plug to ignite the fuel/air within the cylinder on start-up. Once running the battery is disconnected and ignition is similar to a diesel engine. The self ignition is due to the heat produced from the compression of the air/fuel mix, and the catalytic reaction between the platinum element in the ...
The EMC EA/EB is an early passenger train-hauling diesel locomotive built from May 16, 1937, to 1938 by Electro-Motive Corporation of La Grange, Illinois for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. [ 1 ] [ page needed ] They were the first model in a long line of passenger diesels of similar design known as EMD E-units .
Briggs & Stratton Vanguard V-twin engine in a portable generator. A small engine is the general term for a wide range of small-displacement, low-powered internal combustion engines used to power lawn mowers, generators, concrete mixers and many other machines that require independent power sources.
