39,000 lb./ft. of torque at 80 rpm

Here is a link to an antique engine at some old-timey festival thing. Pretty sweet, if you ask me.

I imagine it would have been used to power a factory of some sort... ANyways, just a cool find.

Wow, 50 years at full power with no mechanical failures, that's amazing! Why can't they build car engines like that? lol

If they did, why would you buy another one? they'd have great sales, for about 10 years. then they'd go out of business.

Ahh yes, the fuel-oil powered Sulzer. Truly an engineering marvel. Seems like anytime a "huge engine" post starts up, this motor is not far behind.

LOL no, they'd just make sure the rest of the car fell apart after 10 years :lol:
