justinr54321 Posted January 24, 2008 Share #4 Posted January 24, 2008 Those were used on the old deisel ships before they went to a turbine system, and the big earth movers, and I think they still use them on the earth movers.

hls30.com Posted January 24, 2008 Share #7 Posted January 24, 2008 This was entitled worlds biggest diesel engine.... Maximum torque: 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm ,,, That is 1,062.2 lb/miles! @ 102 rpm! Can you imagine this as a veggie diesel?
