But can we believe those numbers????? Where's the dyno sheet??????? :D :D :D

[Cowboy_120]

sounds a little funny to me. what the hell would you use that for? Why has no one else said anything about this? Just a hoax.

[Maxter]

Looks like a boat engine to me.

Thats the one that keeps the earth rotating.

50% Efficiency?? Not if you are using ASME standards. 25% is more likely.

If it were truly 50% efficient we would generate electricity with them.

nukedmax,

I can't get that link to work..... *** ??

How do they get it in the boat?

Actually generation is the biggest application for these monsters.
Do a search for MANN Diesel to gather even more info on this behemoth.

Searched: *** was "j" "s" "c".

Doesn't seem to like the letters together.

They build the boat around it with the possibility to change components like pistons easily with a big crane. Sometimes, a spare crankshaft is already inside the boat.

I'm in no way a boat expert, I just visited many tankers and large ore haulers.

What do they start it with, a Duramax??

[Jelisfc]

Here's a better link that tells more. http://www.wartsila.com/english/index***p?cid=docmax&Project=142&docID=67258

"Sulzer RT-flex engines are the
first low-speed engines to have electronically-controlled common-rail
systems for fuel injection and valve actuation."

Just like the Duramax :cool: I want to know what size Fumoto valve they use?

I worked on a project to turn a ship's drive shaft to index the prop for service. The guy told me when the ship was underway the 3.0 foot diameter shaft had a quarter twist in it. Now that's some serious Hp.

Good one flyboy! :D :D :D
