🥶The Power Behind the World's Largest Engine: Do You Know How Many Horses it Packs?🥶 #shorts

Did you know how much horsepower the world's largest engine has? The Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C is a massive, 14-cylinder, diesel engine. Its total engine capacity amounts to a staggering 25,480 liters, equating to 1820 liters per cylinder. It measures over 27 meters in length and over 13 meters in height, weighing 2300 tons. It's primarily utilized to power the largest cargo ships and tankers. Depending on specifications, the engine can cost up to $20 million, with its construction taking from several months to a year. Despite consuming 14 tons of fuel per hour, it's highly efficient and meets Tier III IMO emission standards. Boasting nearly 109,000 horsepower and 7.6 million pound-feet of torque, this engine is an engineering marvel.

Don't worry about the cost bro, it'll fit in my Miata

[skytrip]

As a mechanic
I find this fascinating. That crankshaft is amazing.

[cncdan]

After hearing 100k horsepower I wasn't ready for 7.6 million pound feet of torque

[douglasharley]

lol, $20M seems quite reasonable for such a beast.

[Mr.Liam.]

14 tons of fuel an hour is absolutely insane.

[ros]

I’d still lose a 10mm socket working on this

[Yyc.stinkeye]

Miata owners will see this and start measuring their engine bay saying “I can make it fit”

[clsanchez]

The engine is so massive, it takes the world’s second largest engine to start it

109, 000 horsepower: okay thats a lot.
7.6 Million pound feet of torque: 😳

[ClementFoli]

Customer : what's the horsepower
Sales personnel : all the horsepower

Hellcat drivers walking into the dealership "do you guys have the RTA96c?"

[dylthebradiator]

Just you wait until the civic boys find out about this one 😅

[darkninjacorporation]

It’s incredible that humanity can fabricate machines so huge. It’s like a building of solid steel

[TheAmericanFox]

When your engine is so big, it needs a built in cat walk just to work on it

[ReinaPerez-lq]

I love the way cargo ships look.
That industrial look is appealing to me

[ArnoldsDesign]

When the crankcase has an entrance door, you know it's going to be big.

[claytonwilliams]

Dam, the pyramids got nothing on this.

[FranciscoLopez-qnih]

And people say “even with modern tools we couldn’t build the pyramids”

[alfontana]

One state of the art nuclear reactor could power the entire ship and save millions of gallons of oil over its lifetime.

Engineers are the real architects of history
