Charles Babbage (1791-1871), computer pioneer, designed the first automatic computing engines. He invented computers but failed to build them. The first complete Babbage Engine was completed in London in 2002, 153 years after it was designed. Difference Engine No. 2, built faithfully to the original drawings, consists of 8,000 parts, weighs five tons, and measures 11 feet long.
These sound lovely on tickover with the soft whine of the turbo. One of the pleasures of my job as a tester at Cummins before I was put onto light duties due to a knackered back.
I had a blown head gasket, so i pulled the engine to make that easier. I had teh transmission rebuilt while the engine was out. I replaced all the suspension bushings, new lowered springs, shocks, and brake rotors.

The main engine room of U505, a German U-Boat, captured off the coast of Bermuda in 1944. There was an Enigma encoding machine aboard the U505. This was a turning point in WWII.
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!
Preserved at Mildura, Victoria, Australia. Taken on 20 Mar 1967.
The engine drives the pump which appears like a turbine.
