This documentary showcases a rare collection of antique stationary engines built between 1896 and 1959, many of which are still running today.
From early Otto Crossley engines and Chicago Pneumatic diesels to Deutz, Armstrong Siddeley, Crossley, and BMW stationary power units, this video captures the raw mechanical heritage that once powered farms, workshops, and early industry.
Each engine represents a different chapter in industrial history, demonstrating early combustion technology, low-speed diesel engineering, and mechanical durability that modern machines rarely achieve.

00:51 100 hp Chicago Pneumatic Diesel hit
01:43 Starting a 65-year-old Daedong engine"
02:44 The DUVANT 6 NN engine
04:30 Armstrong Siddeley AS2 is a British two cylinder air cooled diesel built circa 1930s–1950s
05:09 This Benz & Cie. stationary inverted engine
05:52 The Deutz MAH 714 is a stationary single-cylinder
06:58 The machine known as S-60 (1959r)
09:14 The 1896 Otto Crossley stationary engine
10:27 Stover 6 HP Gas Engine Tank Cooled P1050048.MOV
11:23 This 5 HP Economy gas engine
12:17 Atlas Imperial 3HM762 is a three cylinder low speed marine diesel, used for workboats
12:41 The BMW 6012 Notstrom DO32 is a stationary turbine generator unit designed for emergency electricity supply. It was developed by BMW Triebwerksbau GmbH in cooperation with M.A.N. Turbo and MTU in Munich, Germany, and was manufactured around the late 1960s, approximately 1969. The unit is used as a backup power source for industrial facilities, hospitals, and remote installations where grid reliability is critical. It operates using a gas turbine instead of a conventional piston engine. During operation, air is compressed, mixed with fuel, and ignited to drive the turbine at speeds of up to 45,000 rpm. The generator delivers around 81 kW of electrical output. Its compact design, starter-motor ignition system, and regular inspection of fuel, oil, and cooling systems ensure safe and reliable emergency operation.

14:54 The Conord F110, also known as the Bernard W110, is a classic single-cylinder gasoline engine produced in France around the 1950s
16:09 The Crossley HH11 is a large
17:43 The Deutz MAH 711 is a classic
19:24 The EMW stationary engine was built by Eilenburger Motorenwerk Max Alverdes in the Province of Saxony, Germany.
