109,000 HP, and turns over at 102 RPM.

 

I'm curious about the fuel efficiency of that thing.

 

Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C, the largest engine... in the world. It makes 5,608,310 ft·lbf @ 102 rpm, and it's crankshaft weighs 300 tons.

 

It's not measured in miles per gallon, it's gallons per mile.

 

The page numbers are all screwed up on this thread now.

 

I'm guessing its not powering anything that moves any miles at allk I was thinking more along gallons per hour.

 

Too lazy to go back to the article, but I think it powers the world's largest freight ship. So...gallons per knot?

 

wiki says "approx. 3.80 litres per second" ....**** me....

 

i heard that audio this morning. So Great!!

 

But she has a broadcast journalism degree from Syracuse, so she knows!



he also taught economics and government for 20 years and has a law degree.

 

A knot is a measure of speed- one nautical mile per hour, which is 1.151 mph.

 

That engine powers these things:

 

D'oh! I completely Han Solo'd* that, didn't I? I blame my headache for the mistake. A nautical mile is, of course, what I should have used.






*Blatant attempt at earning Joe's nerd-approval by referencing Solo's claim that the Millennium Falcon did the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs.

 

I want to make a **** on this track!

 

bear trap!
