One Huge Engine

Not SVX related, but check out THIS engine. The web site is: >http://www.924board.org/viewtopic.php?t=9014<. BTW, the rev limit is 102 RPM - yes, that's One Hundred and two rev's per minute!

Yeah, that kind of puts the engines on the oil rigs I work on to shame, and they're nothing to laugh at. Each rig has six 10,000hp CAT diesels, each one is about 10ft x 30ft. Quite impressive to see them up close, and even more impressive to feel them running no matter where you are on the rig.

Thanks Harry that IS impressive and an interesting and worthwhile post.

Even more interesting would be a shot of the machine tools capable of machining the huge components involved. !

And can you imagine what it takes to CRANK this thing?!!

But yes, the machining of the parts would be a tremendous undertaking!

They said those engines are for ships. The question is: Can the ship that holds those engines pass through the 2 man made canals?

No "mileage", per se, but it "consumes" 1660 gallons per hour!

Does Chicane's MEP theory apply to that engine?

108920 horsepower
14 cylinders x 1820 litres = 25480 litres
102 rpm

108920 / 25480 * 0.102 = 41.9

If the theory does apply then that's a pretty impressive number.
