    I can't figure out why the RPM did not seem to vary at all when he moved the butterflies a few minutes in. Seems kinda like a trailer queen show engine to me, show it to me in a chassis actually doing some work...

    Have you ever worked on a diesel?
    My small truck diesel does not even have a buttery fly, throttle body, it is wide open to the manifold. you vary the speed by the injection pump! you don't control engine speed by air, just opposite of gas motor.

    Diesels don't use butterfly, rpm on a diesel is not based on air its all in the fuel pump faster you spin the pump faster the engine turns over. diesels will suck air from anywhere they can.

    Evidently you didn't read my other post to this tread'
    How can they breath in that room with the ex ( that you cant see)
    most diesel's pour out black smoke when the peddle is stomped on.
    even if this one didn't smoke, i doubt if you could be in the same room as the engine.
    and yes i have worked on them.
    It is impressive to look at, but why build something like this if it don't work?
    just saying.

    the one guy was coughing and hacking at the end of the video just before he came back into view and you could see it on his face he was miserable
    plus in the begiining you could see their hair being blown around so i would assume there was some big fans in the background spmewhere
    just saying
