Motors Stationary Engines

So I'm curious,

does any one else here play with old stationary engines for fun?

What have you got?

 

Haven't done anything yet but I keep watching vids on YouTube of static jet engines made from old turbocharger running on propane.

I've just about convinced myself I could do this safely...

 

Someone I knew built one but it was very inconsistent, starting and running erratically.

 

Blackstone Engines are fun... ;-)

Just watch out for the multi-ton flywheels... they hurt.

 

They have a very deep sound, kinda unique among the horizontal engines. You got one?

I would love to find a small petrol but they are kinda scarce in SA.



I bought a Lister G2 engine yesterday

 

I explore abandoned Mines, I have access to a few, but I don't own one, as I think my Landlord would throw a ****-fit if I parked a Morse or similar in my front garden.

 

Have you taken any pictures?

Lol, engines do get messy. Even with the pressure cleaner, the driver is a mess
