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.
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.......!
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.
Well said
Ty brainiac.
If that were the case, why are cars and trucks referred to as motor vehicles ...
@KRM
Because people are mistaken.
Same for referring to crude oil as being mineral oil.
No such thing.
This was an incorrect assumption.
Crude oil is from woody biomass.
@@krm8494 because for decades there was nothing else to compare the internal combustion engine to that was on the road. You don’t call a steam engine a steam motor…
I stopped watching when you muted the word "war" for the second time. Why?
I'm grateful for your video showcasing amazing machines! Which one is the most expensive in your collection?
Kind of odd to call a wind turbine generator an engine. You do know the difference, don't you Scary Cherry?
How amazing the engines
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 love your videos. Thanks and much appreciation
Thank you! 🙏😊
I Was MOST Amazed with that one engine when I saw it that time. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! 🚂😃
Beautiful ❤️ I wish it was a little closer 🥰💯
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).
A windmill generator is not an engine. DAH!!
Yes it is pal.
An engine is a machine for converting any of various forms of energy into mechanical force and motion. DAH!!
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.
Yup. Most large modern ships work the same way, as well. They use diesel engines which actually produce electricity to power the motors for the ship as well as the electricity onboard.
Yes I was thinking the same thing about the wind generators not engines.
If the video and the maker of it are so brilliant, why does "click bait" have to be resorted to???.
Have the balls to change the video title to a more appropriate one.
Yes & a lot of trains are Diesel electric also.
@@richardpalleschi4807 all trains are unless they are 100% electric and powered by overhead lines or a third rail (or steam powered).
The 5 liter V8 that they described as naturally aspirated had twin turbochargers on it!
No . That was the Initial Koennigsegg Free Valve Engine . Normally Aspirated , making Motorcycle Power per Litre horsepower numbers .
Later they went to the Turbo Compounded version with 1100 hp . The Veyron Hunter .
Disappointed to not see any rocket engines on this list, off the top of my head I can think of 3 or 4 engines that have jaw dropping power. For example; the F1 that powered the Saturn 5 first stage on the Apollo missions, the RS25 engines that powered the space shuttle and now the new Artemis rocket and you also have rockets like the SpaceX raptor and Blue Origin’s BE4 engine that are also set to break some records!
Wait… you have to bleep the word “War” ??? TH-cam, wtf are you doing?
"to" was bleeped also.
Land marks, and statues destroyed, censored history, WTF!!''''???????????????????
Major Campbell!!! He did 2 breaking records! SMART ASS , AND yes he did die on trial 3.
Prior to last at 140 MPH water and dealy 450 MPH land record and sadly gone.
Last , (oh wheels) 1997! The blue bird 2 ! Fully steel wheels at 700 MPH record. And still..
Ty. Missed information page/bud
I think it's more important that you do not want to be in front of a jet engine. being in the back might not be as big a deal. being in the front is going to make you be in the back really fast and in many pieces
The first Engine in this video reminds me of the engine in the 1927 movie metropolis.
What's with the cutting of audio? Is it now against TH-cam policy to say world war two??
There's only one atrocity you will hear about in this country; Think about it!
It also powered the B-29, such as Enola Gay.
That's a very nice engine, is it a replacement for a cummins 5.9. 😅
Impressed by all those Emm Double yous produced by that windmill 😂
Your accuracy leaves a bit on the table....
not sure if this fits in. We used to have the bigger the sound speakers the louder you are. Now it's just a small blue tooth speakers
The big turbines and the big ship engines are by far the most powerful . The engines ( actually motor / generators ) that pump water back up to higher lakes at low demand times may be the most powerful
I used to build skids with mostly big Catapillar diesel and natural gas engines but also some Detroit diesel engines and occasionally a couple of other brands.
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.
The engines on the Saturn 5 rocket were not so big but they were certainly powerful !
Pretty sure it's still the most powerful engine ever made, too...
I worked on the Saturn . it was huge!- for being a single engine! not like the way they cluster the engines today to get more power!
You forgot the 16 millon horse power Saturn V rocket engine that men to the moon
Sorry 160 million horse power.
Why did you mute "World War II" at 4:56 and 5:16 but then leave it in at 22:22?
Because the R4360 didn't power the B29 in WW2, which is what he was intending to say. It did power the B50, but that was after WW2.
@@andyharman3022 Ok, that makes sense. Thanks. What were the B29's running during the war?
@@karlklein2966 Curtiss-Wright R3350's

There is a good candidate I've recently heard about for this list. It's a semi truck called Thor. A custom job of course, but seriously impressive in stature and I think deserves its place among the rest. Thank you for all your videos. I've enjoyed every one I've seen.
@adamfox4039.... Al sold "Thor", not long after he finished it, to an Oil Sheik in the middle east, for $14.7M.... almost exactly double what it cost him to build it.
That's what powers Hunter's lap top
The engines on the Saturn 5 rocket were not so big but they were certainly powerful.
Can't tolerate the computer-generated voice overlay.
What about the nucleair powered aircraftcarriers wich run for years on no end? They have a massive propulsion system wich can be seen as the engine of the ship. 2x 194 MegaWatts is a lot of power if you ask me.
Beautiful engines, although not the most powerful as the title suggests. And for a windmill its called a generator and MW is MegaWatt.
Why couldn't they say "World War II"??????
Those engines were design to out last all of us.
What is wrong with saying World War II, and Japan in the same sentence?
Go woke, go broke.
Actually #18 powered the B-29 bomber first which did what he said, not the B-50 which was built after the war.
The B-29 was powered by 18 cyl. Wright R3350 engines during WW2. And like you said, the B-50 was built after the war using the 27 cyl. Pratt & Whitney R4360 engines.
An addition to the first to be shown, the 8 cylinder engine weighs over 3.000.000 lbs, that's 1400 ton.
They start it up every two weeks and let it run for 10 min.
Coal powered train...bad.
Coal powered electric train...good. 😂
I'm surprised that the Saturn 5 rocket engines did not make the list of most powerful engines.
Martian combustion engine production line back and forth to the ice Cap.
In the Sierra Nevada there is a ski resort that has no outside power they have a building with 6 Caterpiller given generators when you enter the building you can't hear anything but the engines
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. 🙏
The big diesel is likely for a huge container ship.
To my knowledge , the MAN 14L 96/314 is the biggest piston engine : 14 cylinder in line , bore 96 cm , stroke 314 cm - 118 000 hp .
lets ask Grok
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!
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..
I honestly wouldn't have put the SHOCKWAVE jet truck on here. The truck had a malfunction and was destroyed in a crash last year. Chris Darnell who was driving it lost his life in the accident.
I saw that video, everything was weird about it. It looked like the explosion happened ahead of the truck and the truck spun out into it.
Cancel culture at work again.....
"KA-wasaki," not "COW-asaki."
26:27 The "Brutus" is a 2,862c.i. V-12 aero engine stuffed into a tin can and was the fastest thing around at the time, although it wasn't a pleasant vehicle to drive, and could only make it around a race track a few times before it needed servicing.
The 547c.i. V-8 in my current street car would lay waste to the Brutus, and I can simply jump into it and comfortable and easily drive it across the country if I wanted to without any issues.
The Brutus wouldn't make it 5 miles on the street without having major problems, and your face would be black and covered with oil if you attempted to do that.
Isn't technology great?? 👍
I thought the most powerful engines would be found in ships. No mention here. So I would say this clip is BS.
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.
😅😅😅😅well information good show 😅😅
Energy is not created.
I wonder if I could back that up to my Allison trans.
😆talking about ge90 with Rolls-Royce Trent video
Yes, an American video which talks about jet engines without mentioning the mighty Rolls-Royce Trent engine which is fitted to many 747s and A380s amongst others.
Pollution big time! All that smoke!
Clark TCVA-16, V16, 2 stroke natural gas powered integral compressor engine
He forgot the galo 12 and the galo 24
Electric is not an engine, it's a motor. An engine is a primary fuel consumer.
Hmm, electric motors are powered by primary fossil fuels from a distant source. So if that is the definition electric motors are indeed engines. You might say they have extra long extension cords. 🤓🤓
I want a jet engine in my Fiero.
Clickbait. The Most Powerful Engine In The World?
SO WHERE IS IT? Not in your video, that's for sure! 😎
that pi55 at 2:35 is photo shopped
Gas for Engines, Electricity for Motors.. There is a big difference...
they are synonyms
I agree, electric motors are going to get larger and larger and engines are going to get interesting. Check out the Omega, being developed by Astron Aerospace. Autoline After Hours has an interview with two of the inventors. Small, high revving, and high horsepower.
General Motors makes engines that run on gasoline and diesel. So does Ford Motor Co. And they also make electric motors. A motor is anything that provides motive power.
Not really.
The first engines were combustible fuel / steam driven.
The largest engines now by far are nuclear fueled steam turbines.
More and more Mistry in history and facts 😮
I was hoping to see the Wankel (rotary engine)
Great video and narration but I have always wondered why someone would use a Turbo over a Super Charger as a turbo causes so much heat and friction and heat is an engines biggest enemy. Someone watching this video probably knows Huh???
A super charger uses engine horsepower to create more horsepower. A turbocharger uses excess exhaust heat to generate “free” horsepower that would otherwise be wasted. Turbochargers are therefore
more efficient than superchargers. ICE’s are “heat” engines so heat is not their biggest enemy. In fact many thousands of degrees of heat is what makes internal combustion engines work.
Large slow speed diesels either on ship or shoreside power plants are above 80 Megawatts/110,000 HP. None of the smaller engines come close. There are Gas Turbines above 250 Megawatts in shoreside plants
How about funny cars and top fuel dragster engines? I thought they would be on there for sure.
Sure, I know all about that plane as I travel around the world on a monthly bases & insist on taking flight on that plane, as I have nowhere else to spend my money.
The 6-71 Gray Marine Diesel Engine sure looks a lot like the Detroit Deisel 6-71 that was used in semi trucks and off-highway trucks and construction equipment for several decades. Best known for turning diesel fuel into noise. (It even says "Detroit Deisel" on the valve cover.)
THReynolds2..... That's because they ARE Detroit Diesels. Back in that era, Gray Marine had the contract with GM Diesel Power (as branded until 1965) for producing all the necessary parts & converting them for Marine use.
Gray Marine also utilized commercially available gas & diesel engines, not "just" the GM 2 cycles. Gray Marine was bought out by Continental Motors just after WW2, in 1946... and continued in operation until 1967.
From 1967, forward... Detroit Diesel produced their own marine units "in house".
They were the same basic engine. The marine engine was tuned more for constant speed operation. Some of the external components were made of more corrosion resistant metals than the truck versions.
@@michaelclark9762.... They were not "tuned" for constant speed operation, they used the dbl wgt variable speed governor, preset for 1600 rpm plus a "Battle Run" preset for 1800.... versus the sgl wgt Limiting Speed gov. for automotive applications.
As far as.. quote "Some of the external components were made of more corrosion resistant metals than the truck versions."... none of the external engine components necessary to the basic function of the engine from the factory (GM Diesel) were any different than what was used in truck or heavy equipment, or any other myriads of applications.
The water cooled Exhaust manifolds (on 2, 4 & 6-71's) being the exceptions and were designed and manufactured "in house" at GM Diesel, same for the outer housing of the heat exchanger... all else was from Gray Marine.
@@Romans--bo7br Please read my comment again. You're arguing against something I didn't say.
@@michaelclark9762.. Michael, I'm Not "arguing" against anything. In your initial response, you stated a couple of "facts", which were Not entirely correct. How many years, and what years did You, yourself... work with the R&D division of GM/Detroit Diesel? I don't recall your name from there, at least in the era I was there. Have a great weekend, and take care.
The wing span of a B52 boomer is awesome! I don't know what the horsepower is but the fact it needs wheels on the wing tips is Wow!
HUGE fuel tanks inside the wings needs support.
Buff is beautiful ,but set next to a B36 ,it looks like a Cessna 150. I think of Buff as themost successful Aircraft ever because of its longevity .Probably the only aircraft 3 generations of pilots have flown .

The Haliade-X 12 MW isn't an engine, it's a wind powered electricity generator...
Saved me for writing it...slight difference..
Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel was a German mechanical engineer who is famous for having invented the diesel engine
yes , Cummins diesel makes some impressive small and big engines
Say cut the wise cracks, the subjecr matter is all we need to hear
Here, let me help out with your engineering unit problems:
MW is Megawatts, a unit of power, one million Watts
lbf is pounds force, a measure of thrust in jet engines
Torque is not expressed in pounds per foot (that is spring rate), it is expressed as pounds*feet.
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!!
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.
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.
Pretty much everything said about the wind turbine is marketing propaganda
How about the tunel boring machine for subway train?
A tunnel boring machine does not produce power, it consumes it.

Not even close. You dont have a single ship engine? Cmon now..
The Big Boy 4014 should be in the top 10 instead of two motorcycles that are neither as large, powerful or complex at the world's largest steam train engine.
The Koenigsegg is not naturally aspirated as stated or the pics are a different engine? Those are obviously turbos on both sides
10:28 Haliade-X 12 MW is not an engine! It is a generator. The "Engine" is the wind. You keep referring to "MW"... do you not know what a Mega Watt is?
