As I was out on the drive and had the bonnet side off I grabbed a photo of the engine as I still get quite excited about how it looks with the curvy intake piping (even though no one will ever see it).
I really need to sort out that rats nest of connectors for the lighting wiring at some point in the future
Steam engine on the Bavarian Central Agricultural Festival 2008.
In the background you can see the Bavaria statue. The statue was built at the foundry of J.B. Stiglmair from 1844 until 1850, mainly by Stiglmair's nephew Ferdinand von Miller. Since the Bavaria is one of the biggest bronze sculptures in the world, it had to be built out of four big parts and several smaller ones. It is 18.52 metres (60 ft 9 in) high and weighs about 87.36 tonnes [1] (96.2 tons).
The famous “Oktoberfest” in Munich shares it’s fairground with the Bavarian Central Agricultural festival (ZLF) every four years for the first week.
Das Bayerische Zentral-Landwirtschaftsfest (ZLF) ist eine Landwirtschaftsausstellung, die alle vier Jahre in München auf der Theresienwiese parallel zum Oktoberfest stattfindet. Schwerpunkte sind die Landwirtschaft, Land- und Forsttechnik und die Nutztierschau.
I took this picture as this would be the last time I would see Engine-Ear Toys. On July 31, 2011, this store closed as Disney California Adventure prepares for the new Buena Vista Street stores. This area will now be closed for a year.

June 1988.
This must be about fourty years old now. Not exactly in regular use, but ten years ago, when this was taken, it was still capable of humming along.

San Jose Fire Department Training drill held in December, 2004. Crews at this training include Truck Company 4, Engine Company 2 and Engines 17, 18 and 30.
Engine 17 was used for pumping during this drill. It is a 1998 Hi-Tech built pumper on a Spartan Gladiator chassis.

Unlike automobile engines, aircraft engines are often operated at high power settings for extended periods of time. In general, the engine runs at maximum power for a few minutes during taking off, then power is slightly reduced for climb, and then spends the majority of its time at a cruise setting—typically 65 percent to 75 percent of full power. In contrast, an automobile engine might spend 20 percent of its time at 65 percent power while accelerating, followed by 80 percent of its time at 20 percent power while cruising.
The power of an internal combustion reciprocating or turbine aircraft engine is rated in units of power delivered to the propeller (typically horsepower) which is torque multiplied by crankshaft revolutions per minute (RPM). The propeller converts the engine power to thrust horsepower or thp in which the thrust is a function of the blade pitch of the propeller relative to the velocity of the aircraft. Jet engines are rated in terms of thrust, usually the maximum amount achieved during takeoff.
The design of aircraft engines tends to favor reliability over performance. Long engine operation times and high power settings, combined with the requirement for high-reliability means that engines must be constructed to support this type of operation with ease. Aircraft engines tend to use the simplest parts possible and include two sets of anything needed for reliability. Independence of function lessens the likelihood of a single malfunction causing an entire engine to fail. For example, reciprocating engines have two independent magneto ignition systems, and the engine's mechanical engine-driven fuel pump is always backed-up by an electric pump.
Aircraft spend the vast majority of their time travelling at high speed. This allows an aircraft engine to be air cooled, as opposed to requiring a radiator. With the absence of a radiator, aircraft engines can boast lower weight and less complexity. The amount of air flow an engine receives is usually carefully designed according to expected speed and altitude of the aircraft in order to maintain the engine at the optimal temperature.
Aircraft operate at higher altitudes where the air is less dense than at ground level. As engines need oxygen to burn fuel, a forced induction system such as turbocharger or supercharger is especially appropriate for aircraft use. This does bring along the usual drawbacks of additional cost, weight and complexity.
A podracer engine I'm working on. I'm looking for constructive feedback. I don't want to say what my theme is, but I'm trying not to use any colors, and I'm kind of going for a minimalist/streamlined look. I've discovered that it is hard to do "minimalist/streamlined" without straying into "boring" territory. The other side of the engine is not finished, but I'm planning on just having the power coupling with a small patch of greebling next to it. Thanks!
Class Y HUNSLET (English) Imported in 1969. 530hp. Shunting engine. It gave a remarkable service since the introduction to Sri Lankan roaster. 27 units in service bearing Nos 675-702. One burnt at Orugodawatta and withdrawn from the service since 2001. SLR’s only shunting engine class in service.
