A 98,000HP @ 100RPM engine... check out the size of this crankshaft!!!



Note: the size of the men next to it! Just the crankshaft weighs in at 300 tonnes!

[andy mac]

Slot it in a mini, and you've got a scorching PWR!

Blimey Charlie! What will that engine be powering?

I still bet it's more economical than ya average yank car!!!

Nobody seen Colranes Planes & Automobiles? Showed one of these working in a container ship. Does about 20rpm or something silly.

I like the steps going down beside the crankshaft. Is that inside the ship? It looks really open. But then again, how could it be moved once its assembled...

[fresser]

That's got our bearings in it...!!!

Just one boring interesting fact. These engines have to be started up in reverse as a reverse gear!

They give max power normally between 80 and 100rpms. This is actually not a very large one.... The largest is an MAN 12K108MC... God I am such a boring t**t sometimes...

Wow, imagine what it must be like at the 8,900rpm redline!?

It's nice to see an engine with plenty of low-down power rather al l TVR rather than the engines that really need revving like the Honda VTECs.

next step: Dodge puts it into a motorcycle...

[blueyes]

Don't be silly! The engine is normal... it's the mechanics that are tiny. Apparently a japanese invention as it cuts down on canteen costs and they don't qualify for the minimum wage. Finding workwear HAS been a problem though.

'Dodge reveal their new 'economy' engine, for their new 'Ram Charger SHC (Sodding Huge Car)' compact model, expected to go on sale in the 'States for an estimated cost of 20p'

[FourWheelDrift]

I'm concerned he's posted this, he might be thinking of fitting one in his Cerbera now the engine's out.

It'd be a tight squeeze

Headline: Titanic engine lifted from the deep!

A shock discovery was unveiled today as engineers resurected the engine from the doomed Titanic. On closer inspection the followers contained within the engine had the distinct markings...

TVR Blackpool!

"The Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C turbocharged two-stroke diesel engine is the most powerful and most efficient prime-mover in the world today."

wonder how big those turbos are!
