Went to the Diesel House museum here in Copenhagen. WHAT A MUSEUM!!!! THey have a 1930's era diesel motor. They still start it occasionally to!
Probably one of my favorite museums I have seen on this trip.
This is a diesel from 1904
The main attraction
the generator in the foreground and the motor sticking up in the background
view from the top
A Piston!
Piston ring. The center one is out of a car and the outside one is from the newest biggest motors
A valve for one of the newer engines! I am 6'6" almost 2 meters tall
We were told at the Diesel Museum they were going to start the motor the next day at 2:00. We decided we had to stay around and see that!
Time to start!
Here is a video I made of the engine running

This was freaking amazing! I couldnt believe how quiet it was and yet you could feel the floor shaking. I have to say this was pretty close to the most memorable thing of the trip the definition of impressive!
