Worlds most powerful engine!

Tonys96Cobra · May 2, 2006

Just watched a show on the History channel about the most powerful Marine Diesel Engine. Made by B&W. Up to 14 cyl, has a 3' bore and a 10' stroke, the rods are as big as my F250. Runs at an ear scorching 94 rpm, has 3 turbos that are bigger than my house and makes 108,000 hp. Pushes a 95,000 ton(190,000,000 lbs) shipping barge at 30 knots.

This is the best pic I could find of it. Its 40' tall and 65' long.

I had the same motor in my chevette not that good for speed but it would scare alot of ricers away with raw torque

If that shipping barge shed a couple thousand tons, it could get into the 12's.

I think they tried doing some weight reduction but they had problems getting a SFI approved roll cage installed.

would suck to throw a rod in that thing

My brain can hardly concieve 5 million ft/lb of torque. That could move literally just about anything ON Earth aside from mountains. You could pull down skyscrapers and buildings with that much power. Think of the burnout you could achieve with 5 million ft/lb of torque!!

Wonder if they'd still change the oil at Express for $30

If so that would be teh win

At 102 rpm you aren't gonna see anything break loose...
