and here are the specs.
The Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C turbocharged two-stroke diesel engine is the most powerful and most efficient prime-mover in the world today. The Aioi
Works of Japan's Diesel United, Ltd built the first engines and is some of these pictures were taken.
It is available in 6 through 14 cylinder versions, all are inline engines. These engines were designed primarily for very large container ships.
Ship owners like a single engine/single propeller design and the new generation of larger container ships needed a bigger engine to propel them.
The cylinder bore is just under 38" and the stroke is just over 98". Each cylinder displaces 111,143 cubic inches (1820 liters) and
produces 7780 horsepower. Total displacement comes out to 1,556,002 cubic inches (25,480 liters) for the fourteen cylinder version.
Some facts on the 14 cylinder version:
Total engine weight: 2300 tons (The crankshaft alone weighs 300 tons.)
Length: 89 feet
Height: 44 feet
Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm Yeah, baby!
Maximum torque: 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm yes, that's 5 million lb/ft of torque!
Fuel consumption at maximum power is 0.278 lbs per hp per hour (Brake Specific Fuel Consumption). Fuel consumption at maximum economy is 0.260
lbs/hp/hour. At maximum economy the engine exceeds 50% thermal efficiency. That is, more than 50% of the energy in the fuel in converted to
motion.
For comparison, most automotive and small aircraft engines have BSFC figures in the 0.40-0.60 lbs/hp/hr range and 25-30% thermal efficiency
range.
Even at it's most efficient power setting, the big 14 consumes 1,660 gallons of heavy fuel oil per hour

if only the fools would stroke it
wonder what kinda carnage would happen if that baby threw a rod.. or ran a big end... damn damn damn... just when you think you've seen it all. I
used to think the engines in locomotives (the whole 'carriage' was basically all engine) were frikken huge when my psycho train-obsessed dad
took me to open days. then some bugger somes along and obliterates that.
anyone got photos of anything bigger? any other ships engines to top that beast?
