Rolls Royce Olympus

February 22nd, 2011

Test run: Rolls Royce Olympus at S&S Turbines open-air test cell. One of the largest turbojet engines, about 40 thousand Hp in the industrial version shown here. Looking in the front at startup, you can clearly see the freshly cleaned elements of the low-pressure compressor: First are the struts, which hold the front main bearing firmly in place. The LP rotating shaft is supported by this bearing. Second, you see the copper-colored inlet guide vanes. On many engines these are able to move, but in the Olympus they are fixed. Then the blades of the first stage of the turning compressor shaft. They are made of solid titanium alloy, and it took 2 days to hand polish them. Next, the first stage of compression is made complete by stator vanes, which are directly behind the spinning blades. The Olympus is the engine used in the Concorde, and the Vulcan Bomber. Both used four Olympus engines, each with an afterburner. This engine does not have an afterburner. This engine is used to generate electricity. A lot of it!

2010 Lexus GX460 Start Up, Engine, and In Depth Tour/Review

June 13th, 2010

In thisvideo I give a full in depth review and tour on the all new 2010 Lexus GX460. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. It was redesigned for the 2010 model year and includes an all new 4.6L v8 that has increased power and fuel economy than the previous generation GX. Also new features such as the Lexus Enform navigation system and SOS, heated rear seats and independent rear climate control. Also new for this year is independent power folding 3rd row seats just like the 2010 LX570. I also show the engine and the details of it and start it up. A through review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
