I am a marine engineer and I operate and maintain big engines like Sulzer, MAN, B&W, GM, GE, Wartsila, Daihatsu, Waukesha, Enterprise, Fairbanks-Morse, you name it. Retired now, and I miss all that machinery and noise.

If it's electric, it's not an engine, it's a motor. An engine converts the chemical power of fuel into heat through combustion. An electric motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy, usually by employing electromagnetic phenomena.

Hurrumph !!! Bro finally someone besides just me has said it !!!!

Wind turbines are not engines. Engines cause the rotation of the drive shaft rather than the motion of the drive shaft causing motion of the internal moving parts of the machinery ("engine").

I'm grateful for your video showcasing amazing machines! Which one is the most expensive in your collection?

LOL, and scratch my head in awe, seeing that WARTSILA RT-FLEX96C and remember thinking, as a 17 year old, how much of an accomplishment it was to hook up the front exhaust pipe to the manifold on a mid 70s Austin Mini! I stand very humbled.......!

Don't know how old this thread is but the current most powerful diesel engine is the MAN B&W 96C, with a bore of 960 mm, a stroke of 2.5 metres, a cylinder displacement of 25.7 metres-cubed for the inline 14-cylinder version, which produces 109,000 hp at 110 rpm. The engine is used in very large containerships (think 'Emma Maersk).

I Was MOST Amazed with that one engine when I saw it that time. Thanks

There's only one atrocity you will hear about in this country; Think about it!

For those that don't know, here's a little tidbit of technical trivia associated with large mining trucks shown in the videos. The engines in those vehicles don't actually link via a transmission and drive shaft to the wheels. They're actually diesel engine generators that produce electricity, which in turn powers the motors in each of the wheel hubs. It's those electric motors that actually make the trucks move. But I'm still confused about the conversation about the GE "engine" mounted on the wind turbines. That's not an engine, as it doesn't run to create power. It's a generator that produces electricity, not an engine. It's gotta be hard producing videos that discuss topics that the video makers don't understand very well. This appears to be one of those types of videos.

The most powerful engine in the world is the GE9X, a high-bypass turbofan jet engine developed by GE Aviation. This mighty beast powers the Boeing 777X and boasts a maximum thrust of up to 330 KN, with a dry weight of 5800 kg. It features fuel burn reduction technology, which not only reduces engine noise but also makes it more efficient. Fun fact: The GE9X's fan is a whopping 123 inches in diameter, making it larger than the fuselage of a Boeing 737! So, if you're looking to power your next interdimensional spaceship or just want to impress your friends at a dinner party, the GE9X is the engine for you!

The first Engine in this video reminds me of the engine in the 1927 movie metropolis.

The Caterpillar GCM34 is natural gas powered engine used in power generation that puts out 10 MW. Very useful as near instant backup power. Then depending how high you want to go and how far you want to stretch the definition of 'engine' the General Electric 9HA industrial gas turbine puts out 838 megawatts in combined cycle mode - which is a big city sized power output in one machine.

It also powered the B-29, such as Enola Gay.

Boeing was the first manufacturer to get their 2-engine 757 FAA certified for trans-oceanic flight. FFA requires all commercial aircraft must be able to stay flying with ONE engine shut down. You read it right - the 757 aircraft, fully loaded with cargo and people, stays in level flight with only ONE engine running. I was the project manager for Boeing's Jet Engine Test Stand switching system used at their huge Everett, WA plant for testing engines used on every commercial jet aircraft they manufacture. Engines weighed 10,000 pounds and produced 40,000 pounds of thrust each. Each plane has 7 miles of orange flight test wiring used only once - to FAA certify the aircraft to be flight worthy. Then the 7 miles of orange wiring/cables are all ripped out by a work crew..

Beautiful engines, although not the most powerful as the title suggests. And for a windmill its called a generator and MW is MegaWatt.

The Koenigsegg is not naturally aspirated as stated or the pics are a different engine? Those are obviously turbos on both sides

B-50 did not fly in WWII, the B-29 did which is what the B-50 came from. B-29 had R-3350s and they were problematic during the war.

B-29

I remember back in early '79, I helped with an overhaul of a Waukesha-Pearce HUGE diesel engine in the Grand Canyon. (above Havasupai) on Long Mesa. There were three engines running really gig generators. Two of them ran all the time, but not full speed for too long. One could handle all night, but you needed both during the day for air conditioning etc. Then they ran the backup unit when we overhauled one of the big ones. It was a very good experience. I'll never forget Mr Emil Slotten 👍 Excellent man. 🙏

You missed the most powerful "engine" there is.. the GE Harriet 9HA.02, which by itself generates 765,723 hp! When you use it as a combined cycle generator (using the exhaust to boil water that spins a steam turbine) it generates 1,123,777 hp!!

@jacksimpson-rogers1069

1,123,777 hp is just about 838 MW (megawatts) Palo Verde nuclear power plant has three electric generators each producing 1,400 MW, each driven by a nuclear reactor supplying heat of about twice that power. Industrial steam IS a gas. A steam turbine is a "heat engine" governed by the strict laws of thermodynamics. So reactor power is given as MWth (thermal) and its electricity production as MWe.

@wanderschlosser1857

Electric generators are not engines they're the driven equipment. The driver in case of a nuke plant would be a steam turbine. However I wouldn't call that an engine either because it's only the gas (steam) to mechanical power converter not including the steam generator. The above mentioned gas turbine combines the gas generation out of chemical energy and the power conversion part, it can therefore actually be called an engine. I stick with the GE 9HA for being the most powerful engine.

All of the engens are super powerful i liked all of the 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
