i dont understand why i have a obsession over large diesel engines

Built a power plant for the Navy. We had two of these beasts installed about 6 feet apart. When they were running, it was so loud, you could actually feel the sound vibrations in your chest. And they had remote radiators, so no radiator fans on the engine. Even with ear plugs, plus ear muffs, they were LOUD!

I can just see having one mounted in my backyard and my neighbors enjoying it every time I fire it up!

The most beautiful sound on the planet .. during an outage of the main grid.

[rhettacosta]

Thank you for recording the ENTIRE shut down I find that so satisfying

Goodnite, that engine put out more smoke in 1/4 of a second than my Detroit Series 60 has so far in its 21-year life. I bet with an Eaton-Fuller 18-speed overdrive, you could move mountains with this beast.

Just the right amount of diesel violence when load applied to keep me coming back for more. Love it

I worked with cat 399, 1100kva gensets 3nos., in Riyadh, saudi arabia, and had really good experience. Very nice engines. I love that humming sound.

Now we need 1 hour version of this engine sound :D

I saw a demonstration a few years ago, where the genset can be synced with the grid to feed back in to the grid during times of high demand. Just needs a minuscule change in speed for a split second to match up. It’s a measure of how accurate feeling is that it can run a continuous speed that is so precise.

It can power about 1 600 average kitchen kettles at once, or an entire suburb. 1 630kW (instead of 45 884HP) is so self explanatory, even the Caterpillar company uses it lately. Entertaining and informative clip. Excellent machine.

I've been watching lot of off gridding videos because it's my goal to eventually go off grid and use 100% renewable energy, and I keep getting recommendations for videos of these big CAT diesel generators. Now I kind of want one. Good backup for cloudy days. :P

[suhail]

Nice generator worked on for 6 years without any major issues

[martylynchian]

Give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desire.

[expeloco]

Thats more power than all 4 Titanic generators had!

[brazed]

I need a backup generator for my shed is this a good option?

[hussencrown]

Hello, I am proud of myself for being a mechanic on a Caterpillar engine

[deadleg]

i would put one of those in my backyard and just run it every morning just cause i love the sound, Maybe ill start my own power company while im at it

[ccllvn]

Ok that's it CAT needs to get into the sports car business and build a hyper-SUV with this V16 mid-mounted

Had two these powering NBC as a standby. When they started up it looked like 30 Rock was on fire.
