Video Description

A start and run of the 13hp Beijer Hot bulb oil engine from 1928. This is able to run at 0rpm. BORE: 210mm. STROKE: 300mm. So the cylinder volyme is on: 10.39Liters. When I tune the injection pump down as far as i can, it fires so little every time that the piston only bounces back an forth on the compression and fires again-bounces-fires-bounces and so on. It is used for stationary power. Like running a sawmill for example. So the 0rpm running is to no use really, just a cool feature to the audience on engine shows. Normally it runs at around 400rpm.
