Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Why didn't he turn off the compressed air valve for the starboard engine?
That was really cool. I've taken tours of old boats. The equipment is always interesting looking, but inscrutable. This made it kinda real and showed a bit of what it is used for and implied a bit of how it works.
Voith Schneider propellers are really cool.
It's like playing Engine Room Simulator. Even if there was stabilization in post, that is still really good camerawork keeping it that stable even when walking around.
Is anyone else surprised that not only the generator, but it looks like the main turbodiesels also, all draw their air from the engine room? He did bother showing us that there's a lot of fresh air pumped into the engine room, but why don't the engines just draw air from a snorkel that goes to the outside of the boat? Seems like its one less component to breakdown if you don't have to have your engines dependent on a fresh air pump.
I bet if shit really hit the fan, I could warp a cord around the flywheel and just hand start it.
What kind of boat is this?
Does anybody know why he switched over to generator power before starting? Would it be too much drain on the main power without it?
Felt like I was playing Half Life. Especially when the yellow strobe and alert noise went off... on... they turned on and went off. Stupid English.
