RE: OT: Unique Diesel Engines!

Pretty impressive, but read the caption a little closer. NOT a ship's diesel.

It was a ship diesel engine! Hyundai and MAN make huge engines just like that one and use them on cargo ships!

Not according to the caption:

A diesel-engine from 1932 in a power plant,[/quote}

Now here's a big one. The photo is of a 10 cylinder. A 14 cylinder version is also available. It boasts 208,920 HP and 5,608, 312 lb/ft of torque at 102 rpm and burns 1,660 gallons of heavy fuel oil per hour at its most efficient setting.
