The Diesel Story
Shell Oil Company Presents / A Shell Production
Traces development of diesel from the Otto ‘Silent’ gas engine of 1877, thru Rudolph Diesel's engine, to the machines that now drive ships, trains, tractors, trucks & cars.
12:00:14 Shell logo/titles. Men work grinding corn by hand. Windmill w/ sails turning. Locomotive furnace; terraced housing in industrial landscape choked w/ smog. Early steam engine pistons at work, CUs. Coal mining. CU gas from cooker hob. Otto & Langan atmospheric gas engine patented 1860 working; early internal combustion engines. 1877 Otto Silent Gas Engine; animation showing how it works.
12:03:25 Men drive down country lane in early automobile w/ driving goggles & rug across lap - good. 1890 Akroyd-Stuart Hot Bulb Boil Engine - man demonstrates ignition of engine - diagram - CU manufacturer’s plaque: The “Hornsby-Akroyd” Patent Safety Oil Engine. Summary of four main types of engine in use by end of 19th Century; split-screen montage w/ statistics showing efficiency of each.
12:06:27 Photo of Rudolph Diesel. CU fire piston into cylinder - adapted for combustion engine by Diesel - animation of process.
12:08:16 Dialogue scene from German feature film ‘Diesel’ - reconstruction of first failed experimental diesel engine under construction at Augsburg, Germany, 1893 - workers talk in German. CUs machinery moving, watched by builders. (Note: if provided users must acknowledge they will clear any rights)
12:09:28 Diagram insert shows addition of air pump to engine.
12:10:03 Experiment reconstruction continues - engine explodes; finished engine - men watch w/ relief.
12:12:05 Early 20th Century diesel engines shown.
12:13:02 1912 - launch at Copenhagen of first ocean-going diesel ship, Selandia, re-enacted w/ bottle-smashing - workers & VIPs wave as ship slides down the ways - Selandia whistle blows on maiden voyage to Bangkok shots from Danish film ‘7 Millioner Hestekraefter’. Shots of other diesel ship launches inc. Rinovia - good shots going down the ways, one sideways. Animation showing air-blast injection system.
12:15:11 Submarine at sea - LS & PoV from bow. CUs showing airless injection process of 1920s - engineers in laboratory testing high-speed engine. Technicians in protective clothing test starting up diesel engine in very low temperature conditions - CU ice-covered engine. Top shot engine factory.
12:17:06 Montage uses of modern diesel engines: passenger train, Greyhound bus in city, farm machinery, scale models - power station / generator room. More shots Selandia’s maiden voyage. Summary shots showing development of diesel engine. Tracking shot thru laboratory w/ scientists developing fuels & lubricants. CU modern diesel engine.
