Think it'll fit???? (http://performanceunlimited.com/illustrations/mostpowefulengine.html)

If it were just a 9-cylinder, yeah, but that 10th cylinder makes it a no-go. :eek:

No...


And what the hell is an engine like that for?

Turning huge quantities of diesel into noise. :rolleyes:

EDIT: Damn! 1,660 gallons per hour!

DAYUM! Of course I'm wondering -- how do you build a CRANKSHAFT that size?

Makes those old Fairbanks Morse (http://www.fairbanksmorse.com/) engines look tiny! :D

Tom :usa:

That's a regular sized engine it just looks so big cause those oompa loompas are workin on it.:flipoff2:

IT says Japan but thats Korean on the wall banners.

what gives?

HAHAHAHAHAHAH.....coffee, meet nose and terminate on keyboard....

Think it's used to move big boats....USN has engines around 2/3-3/4 this size in their LHA's (medium sized carriers, Amphibious Assault ships)

They're used in ocean going frieghters and tankers. NASSCO,
a local shipyard put one of those in a frieghter they built here
about 10 years ago. The engines to big to be shipped as one
piece, so after it's built and tested it's disassembled, shipped
and then reassembled inside the ship at the yards.

Sure does. Fairbanks Morse built a lot of the deisels that powered
our submarines during WWII.

Awwwwww, c'mon....I've seen you guys slap some sheet together on here....

Available in 6 through 12 cylinder versions (all inline). Engine weight exceeds 2,000 tons in the 12 cylinder version (the crankshaft alone exceeds 300 tons).
:eek: :eek:

And I thought the IH motor in my Scout was a big heavy bastard.

Shoe horn, your definetely gonna need a shoe horn.

89,640 HP @ 100 RPM = 4, 707,893 Ft/Lb Torque! :eek:

BTW, that's 3.53 Ft/Lb per CI.

For comparison a stock 350 Chevy puts out 0.92 Ft/Lb per CI

that thing must use a shitload of oil

Hmmmm....radiator would have to be as big as a drive in movie screen!:D

Dual purpose. :flipoff2:

they carry spare piston rings valves etc at the time I stood next to a intake valve and the thing was bigger then me

can you say crank case


thats me along time ago

It's probably for power generation. I used to work at a Cummins distributor that also dealt with Wartsila stuff. Not that there's much of a market for these things in the Bronx...

The engine is directly coupled to a screw (propeller), not running to a generator.

At full power (100 RPM :eek: ), this behemoth is sucking down 2,984 gallons of diesel fuel per hour! The 1,660 gallon figure is at 90 RPM with the cruise control engaged. :flipoff2:

During testing, they overrevved this engine to 101.5 RPM and gained an extra 10,000 Horsepower--with only an additional 1.5 RPM! :smokin:

so, do you put a billet steel or aluminum flywheel behind that sucker.

:D

I'd be more interested in the starter. :) :)

Actually they use compressed air.

Even given that figure of fuel comsumption, this is a very efficent diesel, and it's imensily more efficent than any other type of machinery. Just as an examble, they don't mesure tankage in gallons. It's in tons. Unsually thousands of tons. Lots of oil.

:eek: I'd hate to see what happens when that sucker throws a rod....... :nuke: Even if it is only turning 100 rpm, I'm sure I wouldn't want to be around....

Here's (http://krugtales.50megs.com/rrpictale/p011012/p011012.htm) some pics of a emd 543 locomotive diesel after it lost a rod. Not quite the same, but still quite impressive.

I don't think I've ever heard of a large marine diesel throwing a rod, but I'm sure it's happened. The scare thing is that I could see it punching throught the hull, too. Not good. Besides that, alot of those ships are single screw, and single engine. If the engine fails, they're stuck.

i would say that a torch is about as precise as you need to be with somethign that big.....but thats still alot of work....

they dont burn diesel, iirc its bunker oil verly slugy at room temputre and hard to wash off
