[mXm] andy19 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 SourceThe 109,000-horsepower Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C, which first set sail in the Emma Mærsk in 2006, weighs in at a rotund 2,300 tons, and it's 44-feet tall and 90-feet long. In other words, the TRA96 is the height of a four-story building, and longer than a Christmas Eve line at Sam's Club. Within that massive exterior rests 14 cylinders that each consume 6.5-ounces of diesel fuel every cycle. And, if you like torque, there's enough twist to rip an M1 tank to shreds, though the massive mill churns at only 102 rpm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[mXm] andy19 Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Please, don't ask why the flywheel is on the front. Edit: ...or why it's sticking out of the grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
