The bigger the better

Post by Obelix4eva »

I could not put a pic of mu Lux up yet but thought i would show the other engines i get to work with when i am at work. I tried to give an idea of the sise of the engine but it was a bit hard to put in perspective.

Just for interest

Ship's engines are an amazing feat of engineering. The sheer scale of the units together with the tolerances achieved blows me away. Seen a couple, even open ones with pistons that must be about a metre across. :eh:

What's the max RPM of that unit?
Got a pic of the 'starter motor' ? .... Probably a monster 16 cylinder Cat or Volvo-Penta! :D:

The rpm on this one is 114 rpm full away. The piston on this specific engine is 60cm in across and she has nine of them driving a shaft almost 1.5 m across.

A slight suspension upgrade might be necessary to make that fit in a SFA Hilux.... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
