  1. Also ..The V4 was a mass market motor for Ford, but in Europe and mainly Germany. In the 1962 Ford Taunus then Consul. transit van, and Capri. Later used in the Saab 95,96 and 97 when Saab first moved away from two stroke engines and to the four stroke Ford V4. Possibly at Ford's demonstrated suggestion to sell motors. Was also used in the first Ford Mustang, the mid engined prototype. Was intended for mass sale in the US as the Ford Cardinal with a V4 but Ford eventually went with the Falcon and Cardinal design evolved into the Cortina and Taunus. Sizes from 1.2 to 1.7 litres for all these. UK use in the Ford Corsair and Zephyr mk 4 from the sixties as well as the Transit Van. Lots of Lancias from even the 1920s used a V4. So not just the rare cars shown. Lots of mass market cars. So even the US nearly had lots of Ford V4 Mustangs and Cardinals.

  2. One of the early prototypes for testing that very few a familiar with. Not a good choice of photo.

  5. NSU had the first rotary production car, in 1965, a single rotor Spyder sports car. https://youtu.be/yt7jlvNguGw Later NSU Ro80 two rotor four door sedan in volume production. https://youtu.be/dIfV804Kjgw Both before Mazda made better versions. Mercedes-Benz C111 originally a four rotor mid engined test bed car that determined rotaries had too many problems for production. https://youtu.be/qc4MJ06QVso

  6. Double Overhead Camshaft. With a camshaft above both the exhaust and inlet valves. No long pushrods and valve rockers so easier to run at high speeds without breaking.
    2
  7. Yes but Fairbanks Morse. Used in some US diesel locomotives as well as many ships . Possibly electricity generation too. Due to high efficiency. But higher maintenance too.

  8. Look up the Napier Deltic. Nine cylinder 18 piston. Used in British Railways diesel locomotives. 1650 HP by 2.

  9. The V4 was a mass market motor for Ford, but in Europe and mainly Germany. In the 1962 Ford Taurus then Consul. transit van, and Capri.

  22. Ford tried that as a prototype but went with the V8 instead of X8. YouTube video on it I have seen.

  23. Ford tested an X8 ninety years ago but went with the V8 after too much oil fouled plugs on the bottom four cylinders. There is a YouTube video on it.

  26.  @armadillerff  about 1500 locomotives built. A video of some of the last ones in use in 72 https://youtu.be/XElWHtywY6I

  27. GM V16 and V20 engines also. Started at 567 cui now up to 1010 cui, but per cylinder. Do the math. Where? In railroad use with mileages into the multi millions. Some from the 1950s still running. Horsepower started around 1200 now up around 6000hp. Now starting to dominate even European railways for freight trains. Due to being super reliable and lower running costs than European diesel designs. Produced in a Canadian plant now. Almost all Australian trains powered by GM EMD since the fifties too.

  41. Just 1650 up for how many tons of engine? Only 2000 rpm or less. I would think any motorcycle engine then would have higher power to weight. Only high for trains, then never made any more after 1963 or so. Too high maintenance and unreliable. Needed two in most of locos in case one broke down.

  42. In the USA Fairbanks Morse had vertical opposed piston engines up to about 2500 hp. They built about 1500 locomotives with them. A few more than the 22 Deltics. A video of some of the last ones in use in 72 https://youtu.be/XElWHtywY6I Also US Navy use since WW2 and up to the nuclear submarine era as auxiliary power.
