This is the 400 HP Snow as seen running at the Florida Flywheelers Swap Meet on Friday, January 16, 2009.
It was built by the F.S.Snow Engine Company of Buffalo, NY in 1914. It is a double acting in-line 2 cylinder 4 stroke engine with a 20 inch bore and 36 inch stroke. That is over 45,000 cubic inches displacement and it runs at 120 r.p.m. The flywheel is 12 feet in diameter, weighing 12 tons. Cooling water is circulated through the connecting rod to the pistons and the valves are also water cooled. This engine was used to pump natural gas from wells to suppliers.

There are only two pistons that ride on a single connecting rod. Each piston is fired upon by a combustion chamber (4) on each end of the piston.

High definition processing time on YouTube takes a bit longer. Look for the “Watch in High Def” link to appear at the lower right corner of the video screen.
