@dorifto25 It has a Compressor
@Torvikholm The mac rev is no more than 120 RPM
@Freeflyer91 Oh sorry, its 12 MW
@Mitsugejl So the engine makes 16 MW in power, but only drives a 5 MW generator? Is it just losses in efficiency, or just overpowered?
@kyle51895 It is hooked directly to a ASEA 5 MW generator
@addemufc ‘Slike sneezing, in a hurricane, or shitting in England.
huh . . . I like to see that crankshaft
I like how there is 1 regular size kitchen-stove-style fire extinguisher for a 22 500hp engine
I mean cmon, what is that going to do?
now how do we fit that in a car?
It is funny that a 5,000 pound turbine engine can provide the same amount of horsepower.
lol is it the intake manifold that hangs in the roof?
hope that bad boy don’t throw a rod lol
how many gallons dose it burn in a hour
this engine has 984750 ft-lbs of Torque ! and formula is :
(5252 x horsepower)divided by rpm(120 in this case)
5252x 22500= 11817000 divided by 120 (rpm) = 98475 ft-lbs of torque
Is this hooked directly to a turbine or is it geared through a “transmission” to increase the output?
Put some cams in it ! lol
RPM? Maybe 80?
Torque must be like the USA national debt!
@lukeyj15 They just pull up a supertanker alongside. . .
Is that the manifold or the fuel line? LOL!
just think each combustion in just 1 cylinder probably burns 1 gallon of diesel
Not even Tranzilla can make a transmission big and strong enough for this monster
not more than150
RPM?!?!?!?!?
I sailed for two years back in the 1950s on the old MV Comliebank. Twin screw,two B&W blast injection diesels. They were filthy,exhaust valves constantly burning out;cylinder head fires,a fine spray of lube oil,fuel oil and exhaust fumes swathed the cylinder tops when running. But,we kept them running for two years,despite several of the engineers jumping ship:they had had enough!
If this engine decides to “run away” it would be a massacre
Imagine changing the oil. . .
