Big ol' diesel engine, whoa (vids)

[xLibelle]

Been reading up on diesels since i'm looking for an old mercedes.
One of the sites posted this up and thought i would share.




The details of 1932 Copenhagen engine. Go to 4:30 for them cranking it up.

Big ass container ship engines, wow and 2 stroke to boot.

Someone will die when that thing throws a rod through the block.

Check out this engine:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%C3%A4rtsil%C3%A4-Sulzer_RTA96-C

110,000hp!

The engine is made by Wärtsilä-Sulzer, which was previously a division of the Swiss company Sulzer and was spun off 20 years ago into a seperate company. My dad, his dad, and his dad's dad have all worked for Sulzer. My dad works for Sulzer Pumps, the division which makes massive pumps for power plants, oil pipelines, and other huge industrial applications. Pretty cool shit! ;)

get the benz!! and then do a waste vegetable oil conversion. My truck is converted to run on grease and runs great. I'm planning on swapping a diesel into my e24 6'er in the not to distant future. Diesels just run and run and run forever.

Arent the older BMW diesels pieces of shit?

The data part is so cool. 160 g of fuel per cycle per cylinder!

Don't forget that Wartsila is a Finnish company ;). "Wartsila-Sulzer" was not previously a division of the Swiss company Sulzer. Rather, part of the Swiss company Sulzer was sold to Wartsila, which has been producing diesel engines in Finland for almost 200 years.

So, it's actually a Finnish engine.
