Darn Lister Screamers :-)

[veggie]

For all you Lister owners who joke about our "high revving" Changfa's.....  
Here's a big Lister at 3000 rpm (driving a 3000 rpm, 50hz alternator)
Sound like it's about to fly apart !
AdeV should love this

Let's try to get our 6/1 Listeroids to do this !

crank up the volume,
veggie

PS: I love Listers AND Changfa's

Well, at least it doesn't smoke much on startup.  That was winding pretty hard, I  didn't blame them for getting out of the way!
I wouldn't trust that big assed flywheel at that speed. Plum scary.

Hey, no flicker

[playdiesel]

Thanks, I can now scratch an FR1 off my list of things I want to own.

Holy crap! No way I'd be in the same room with that thing, that has got to be absolutely deafning.

[AdeV]

Hmm, I'm pretty sure that thing shouldn't be going that fast... FR1s are rated at 9hp @ 1800rpm, which I'd have thought was maxed out, a UK spec engine should be doing 1500rpm to get 50hz. Not 3000....

But hey, clagtastic!

[AdeV]

Heh, fancy: It sold on eBay just recently for £400 quid. The seller was the same guy I got my 3.5/1 Revell compressor from...

Maybe the flywheel is painted orange so they can find all the pieces easier after it flies apart ?
