Visioracer, the v20 cat engine you mention will drive the wheels directly through a transmission on most caterpillar equipment. Plus it does make some sense as your reduction ratios can be absolutely insane. You can drive a planetary reduction to drive a planetary reduction, plus with extra reduction in the gears in the trans, and the diff itself has a massive reduction, its not unusual to see a 55-78:1 final drive ratio through all of that reduction. Takes 78x the rpm but the final drive emits 78x the torque. Cat can run any engine on those units right down to a 14L engine with enough reduction
Grew up in Wisconsin in the 90s, the railroad in town had over 100 of the V20-645s for power. Was an awesome sound to hear when three or four engines throttled up together, the bass throb of the engines going in and out of sync was a bit of a trademark of the SD45, F45, and FP45........
That monster 2-stroke Detroit sure makes a sound I could get used to. What a machine. And that's the thing, piston engines produce types of frequences of sound that mimic music. And I think that's why we get the sense a machine is alive when it's running and doing its thing. I love engines.
Thank you visioracer. I have been struggling for a long time to find a video of the wartsila 20v34 running. I have always wondered what a behemoth gas burner would sound like. And now you have put an end to the struggle. Many thanks.
He is mistaken, it is absolutely not a petrol burning engine. when they refer to it burning gas, they're talking about natural gas, such as methane or propane. It uses injected liquefied gas in place of diesel fuel. the only difference between the 34 series and 32 series is that it has the option to be run on natural gas, not petrol, it is still a compression-ignition engine that is designed to primarily be run on diesel. it does not contain spark plugs and nor would any manufacturer make a large engine that is not compression-ignition, they are simply not efficient enough. so, I hate to burst your bubble, but this video should give you no greater satisfaction than watching a compressed natural gas fueled Cummins powered airport shuttle bus. it is common to fuel diesel engines using natural gas rather than diesel. www.wartsila.com/products/marine-oil-gas/engines-generating-sets/dual-fuel-engines/wartsila-34df
@@ericwebster4352 sorry. Just found your comment now. Lol. And yeah, I realize it's not a petrol burning engine. Making a petrol engine that large would be highly impractical and inefficient. It burns either cng or lng, not certain for sure though. Either way it was satisfying to hear that engine run. I've been rummaging through the internet just to find a video of that specific engine. I still think emd two strokes sound better though. Lmao 😂
Blake Parker when it comes to big engines like that you dont care about their sounds. The vibrations you feel from the beasts is basically like an earthquake. You can feel the power at idle lol
V20's won't fit in your Honda Fit because Honda Fits only fit in the fittings that a Fit can fit in a V20. Now you know a Fit can fit within the fittings that a Fit can fit in so you can fit you Fit into the fittings of a V20. Hope this fits.
Fun fact I'm an electrician and I helped put in about 6 of those caterpillar gen sets. The engine itself costs 700 grand. After all the equipment and the building it goes in, probably a bit over a million USD
I heard they just keep adding new oil to maintain it's viscosity, cleanliness and additive package . . . after pulling some of the old dirty oil out to make room for the new oil and dumping it in the fuel tank to be used as fuel.
I thought about crafting an X shaped 20 cylinder engine for aviation use, it would use 2 superchargers and be based off of an existing v10. To make this more simple, it is a four bank engine that looks like an X shape when viewed from the front. Nice channel and I love your content.
6 V-20 Engines you may not know about. I didn't know there even were V-20 engines!!! Another fascinating video. Just when I thought you were out of ideas!! GREAT WORK
Hey m8 ! LIEBHERR produces three V20 engines : the diesel D9620 ( 45.0 liters) , the D9820 (103,4 liters) , and the G9620 wich is a Gaz engine. I worked in the LIEBHERR factory in switzerland for 2 months and i can assure you that these power units are awesome !
You can add Cooper Bessemer to the list of V20 manufacturers. They made a V20 4 cycle with 15.5 bore x 20" stroke primarily used for power generation. It could be a straight diesel, a gas diesel or straight natural gas engine and ran at 400 rpm. They also made V20 2 cycle engines for natural gas compression. They are no longer in business.
Ruston 20RK270 and 20RK280, high output diesels for use in high speed ferries. And slightly short in the number of cylinders but the Cat 3618 with 18 cylinders. All these put out around 8000kW
So impressive!!! I have always been very fascinated by the V-20 engine!!! It would have a similar exhaust note to the V-10 only twice the smoothness. The World's first V-20 engine actually entered service in 1936 as a Zeppelin airship propulsion diesel manufactured by Diamler Benz. It was 4-stroke at 1600 horsepower.
Liebherr started making their own V16 and V20 four-stroke Diesel engines some time ago. Most probably to replace the MTU or Cummins ones in their mining trucks and excavators.
0:52 As you mention, it was used by DSB (Danish State Railways) in the Litra MZ series, but also the recently retired Litra ME. I really loved the Litra ME, and im super sad that its now retired :( (it got replaced by the Litra EB, aka. Siemens Vectron)
Lovely seeing a Danish train in the video! You wouldn't know, but Danske Statsbaner, are usually just referred to as their abbreviation, DSB, so you wont need to try to make sense of pronounciation of our language, if you end up featuring them in a future video ^^ As a sidenote this video: th-cam.com/video/Wo2sHe6ZDGs/w-d-xo.html has the sound of it accelerating from a standstill, starting at around 1:44 :)
It's main issue was crankshaft failure despite having an incredibly smooth idle and operation, which makes the 20-645 quite rare amongst the 29,000 645 series engines that were built from 1965-1983. EMD made a V20 version of the 710 a few years after the 710 series was introduced and surprisingly we don't hear about crankshaft failure on the 20 cylinder 710.
Transamerica DeLaval made V-20s in the '80s. They could be configured to run on natural gas, diesel, or bunker fuel. Been looking for any recent reference to them. No luck yet.
Look for Enterprise engines on Wikipedia via this link. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_Engine_and_Foundry_Co. The page diacusses the company's history in brief including their Transamerica DeLaval days. Their foundry used to be in Oakland South of the Coliseum.
If I remember right, the Lancaster bomber was supposed to only have 2 engines which were basically a stretched merlin V12 up to a V24, but there were loads of issues, like the cam shaft twisting causing the last few cylinders to run rough as the cam shaft was several degrees out out time. So they settled for 4 merlins
Correction on the EMD, it only ever used 2 roots blowers, OR one Hybrid turbocharger that has a gear drive and overrunning clutch and suns like a centrifugal supercharger at low rpm to provide scavenging air pressure
Unless you look at the 6 and 8 cylinder ones, or at least the 567 series variants. Those just have one blower. Plus they have different blower drive speeds depending on the engines. V6 and V12 models use one speed while V8 and V16 versions use a different blower speed.
True - the centrifugal supercharger on the 645 E4B etc had a 21 to 1 speed increase on the turbine - the engine would stay on the blower until it got about 1800 kw on it - then the engine would produce enough exhaust to make the turbo work efficiently... the 20 cylinders had problems in the locomotives due to the locomotive flexing and causing the cranks to wipe the main bearings - however there are lots of 20 cylinder emd`s powering generators pumps and other stationary applications... It is my understanding that EMD was the only engine that was allowed by the nuclear regulatory agency as emergency backup power in a nuke plant - I used to maintain several that were required to be up and online with 100% load in 10 seconds or less - and they could do it too...
That Caterpillar haul truck has sort of a Lamborghini V10 warble to it, if you were to slow down a recording of the Lambo by a factor of four. The EMD 710 is a stroked 645. All EMD's are based on the same basic design going back to the 1930's. The 567 had a bore and stroke of 8.5" x 10'. The 645 was 9.06 x 10. The 710 was 9.06 x 11. Doesn't that 20V-149 Detroit sound angry!? You just gotta love 'em, even if they're only good for converting diesel fuel into noise and smoke.
just Marcin that'd be really cool. Gas turbines too. I know general electric makes a behemoth of a gas turbine known as the harriet. 330 megawatts or 500,000 horsepower.
...2 cycle Detroit and EMD engines use roots blowers for exhaust scavenging... ...only turbocharged models are actually using forced induction... ...early models were turbocharged through the roots blower... ...EMD then developed their turbocharger that is gear driven for scavenging and supercharging at lower rpms and loads... ...once there is sufficient flow through the turbine an over running clutch disengages and it functions as a true turbocharger...
The EMD 20V645 was the first engine that I thought of when I saw the title of the video show up in my notifications. By coincidence, it was also the first engine that you listed.
Ellenor Malik You'll probably need a KW W925 to have a hood long enough to hide it under. The 3.875" bore times 10 long, plus the meat around each cylinder, adds up to a mighty long engine. But I bet there wouldn't be a sweeter sounding engine on the road.
Those MTU 20V-4000 prime movers are also used in the KiwiRail DL-class locomotives. They outperform (and so they should) the 7FDL-12s in the (much) older DX-class by about 500hp or so
Kolomna 1D-49, 276000 cubic centimeter, V-20 diesel, 6000hp, it was used in the TEP-80 Russian locomotive (btw which holds the Guinness record title for the fastest diesel-electric locomotive- 271 km/h)
Forgot the Russian Kolomna 1D49 (20ChN26/26), 20 cylinder modification of D49 series (many V16 5D49 found on BR132/232, 2TE116, TEP70 locomotives), it's very limited production 6000hp engine, found on TEP80 (ТЭП80) locomotive, which set world speed record for diesel locomotives 273kmh (sadly, it's unofficial). You can find speed record video on TH-cam by tag ТЭП80. Sorry my English.
There's also C175-20 Gas Engine. The Cat 3520 (i have seen the gas variant only, thought it's possible for the diesel too) is the older twin of the C175-20.
Actually, there is 1 more V20 engine. "1D49" of the record-breaker "TEP80" diesel locomotive. "1D49" is a part of "D49" engine series (there are V8 (6D49), V12 (2D49), V16 (5D49) and V20 (1D49)). They are made by "Kolomensky Zavod", Russia (it translates like "Factory of Kolomna city") 1D49 has 26/26 cm of bore and stroke, 6000 hp @ 1100 RPM, 4 stroke diesel
Here is another V20: Mercedes-Benz MB 518 de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_MB_518 Developed in the 1940s, 40°-V20, Four-Stroke-Diesel with mechanical blower or turbo or naturally aspirated. Based on the concept of the motor LOF 6 used in the Hindenburg! They were used in the German fast attack crafts of the Zobel-class (140 and 141) and the Jaguar-class (142).
theres a 20 cylinder propulsion diesel in the canadian halifax class frigate made by pielstick. basically its a one of a kind made specifically for the halifax class
Hey! There are also Engines from MWM (TCG 2020 V20 and TCG 2032 V20) that use 20 Cylinders. They are CHP's (I work in that area) and V20's are not uncommon to us.
I like your videos, and look foward to the new ones you creat. My only erk about the videos. Is the print is in white. I cannot make out the print. Can you change it to black. Thank you.
And a Cat truck shifts itself. You put it in the last gear position or the one you need to run in and the engine will accelerate and decelerate when it grabs a gear. You just leave your foot on the floor and the computer does the work, up and down.
People making big engines to get 2,000HP: People with supras: sooo let’s put in this 2JZ, this massive ass turbo, and this 2step. Alright! We have 3,400 HP ready!
Detroit's don't have supercharger, they just scavenge and charge the cylinders. They make up for the lack of an intake and exhaust stroke. So they're just, well...chargers.
The two cycle Detroit's have to have blowers and they do build boost - the blowers turn around 1.5 give or take faster than the crank speed - the 2 cycle won't start without the blower spinning and compressing the air into the cylinders....
The 20-710G3 is capable of more than 5000 hp. It actually probably makes closer to 5700. 5000 was just a conservative number chosen by Conrail and EMD. To evidence this, all of the former Conrail SD80MACs, now owned by Norfolk Southern, are having their 20-710G3s uprated to 5500 hp as part of a rebuild program.
Eric Caves It’s been tried before with very limited success. EMD tried to make one of those massive mining dump trucks that are like twice the size of a house powered by a 16-645E making around 2000 hp, and it didn’t really work well.
Thnx mate. Ive heard though that 2 strokes have a certain operating range/span. And when out of that they are inefficient. And thats why they arent used in cars who go from stop to highway to stop much, unlike large boats who use the same rpm for hours/days. How come that is?
Great video! I wanted to offer one point of clarification, you are incorrect in stating that the wartsila series 34 is a petrol burning engine. it does not operate using spark plugs like a petrol engine would, it is a compression-ignition engine. When they say gas in referencing its fuel capabilities, they are not referring to petrol, but natural gas such as methane or propane. it is common for manufacturers to offer a natural gas-burning compression-ignition engine, Cummins offers an ISX 13 that is powered by natural gas. Like the Cummins I am referring to, This engine is still a compression ignition diesel engine, just with the flexibility of running natural gas in place of fuel oil. www.wartsila.com/products/marine-oil-gas/engines-generating-sets/dual-fuel-engines/wartsila-34df
Yes but in a ridiculously large fashion. Say you had a 350 Chevy, and went to a454. Not as efficient. If you to say,454 cubes a cylinder,then it would be more efficient. It's got to do with the sheer mass of moving parts. It may take a minute and quite a bit of fuel to get an engine up to speed,but once it's at it's rated speed,it takes very little effort to keep it there. Basically,more mass equals less effort,once it's in motion. That's my take on it,anyway,for what it's worth.
I hate to tell you but that wartsila engine at the end of the video is not even close to the largest internal combustion engine made. The wartsila rta96-c is. It is 44 feet tall and 90 feet long and makes 109,000 horsepower.
EMD builds some nice sounding engines, i like how the turbo whistles soflty when locomotives passes by
Yeah they do. I hear some every day going by.
I love the diesels and I will play trains for hours on end with them. HO scale dCC sound and I run 2 EMD SD50s
Visioracer, the v20 cat engine you mention will drive the wheels directly through a transmission on most caterpillar equipment. Plus it does make some sense as your reduction ratios can be absolutely insane. You can drive a planetary reduction to drive a planetary reduction, plus with extra reduction in the gears in the trans, and the diff itself has a massive reduction, its not unusual to see a 55-78:1 final drive ratio through all of that reduction. Takes 78x the rpm but the final drive emits 78x the torque. Cat can run any engine on those units right down to a 14L engine with enough reduction
I think there is a V20 cat at the South pole spinning the earth :D
They start out in torque converter mode which is called by the Cat guys as the 'invisible 1st gear' and then go to shifting themselves. SWEET setup.
There is something about the sound of a big diesel that makes me sleepy, in a nice way.
davebuts Truck drivers often have sleep issues when away from their idling engines
I guess they're soothing
I think that's carbon monoxide
that's called white noise effect...same like rain, river, even office in rush hour
I agree on the Diesel sounds!! I work on turbine engines, very big turbine engines!! As loud as they are, they can still lull me to sleep!!
@@LysergicCasserole95 Which truck driver sleeps with the engine idling though?
Grew up in Wisconsin in the 90s, the railroad in town had over 100 of the V20-645s for power. Was an awesome sound to hear when three or four engines throttled up together, the bass throb of the engines going in and out of sync was a bit of a trademark of the SD45, F45, and FP45........
That monster 2-stroke Detroit sure makes a sound I could get used to. What a machine.
And that's the thing, piston engines produce types of frequences of sound that mimic music. And I think that's why we get the sense a machine is alive when it's running and doing its thing. I love engines.

Christian Clemons genius I’ll try that
Inverted V12 Powerhouse but I’ve never heard a V20 before, theoretically it should sound like two v10s but no one really could know
2:07 sounds like a few thousand rpm
That is due to the fact that it's a 2 stroke Detroit diesel, if it's hitting 1,900 rpm it'll sound similar to a 4 stroke hitting 3,800rpm.

BadAssEngineering That's exactly what I thought when he mentioned it. Can't imagine how much the oil and air filters cost along with it.
Im sure those 675 liters will last at least a couple of years lol
Ah, that makes sense. I guess the oil doesn't get to dirty with the massive filter's and because these engine's run at low rpm's.
I assume you can use those oil as fuel..you know...it's a diesel

Cummins has a variant of the QSK95 which is a 120L V-20, sadly I do not think any have been built yet.
vtecshepherd you’re correct. None have been built yet. It is still just a concept.

If I remember right, the Lancaster bomber was supposed to only have 2 engines which were basically a stretched merlin V12 up to a V24, but there were loads of issues, like the cam shaft twisting causing the last few cylinders to run rough as the cam shaft was several degrees out out time. So they settled for 4 merlins
Those engines were called the Exe, as in X-24. They were not doubled Merlins, but doubled Kestrels.
I never thought there were more complex V-configuration engines than a V16 until now!!
Google "24v71"
Josh Bacon pretty sure a v24 exists

Can you do a research on steam turbine engines?
just Marcin that'd be really cool. Gas turbines too. I know general electric makes a behemoth of a gas turbine known as the harriet. 330 megawatts or 500,000 horsepower.
...2 cycle Detroit and EMD engines use roots blowers for exhaust scavenging...
...only turbocharged models are actually using forced induction...
...early models were turbocharged through the roots blower...
...EMD then developed their turbocharger that is gear driven for scavenging and supercharging at lower rpms and loads...
...once there is sufficient flow through the turbine an over running clutch disengages and it functions as a true turbocharger...
The EMD 20V645 was the first engine that I thought of when I saw the title of the video show up in my notifications.
By coincidence, it was also the first engine that you listed.
DrFruikenstein I just want a 20V53

You'll probably need a KW W925 to have a hood long enough to hide it under.
The 3.875" bore times 10 long, plus the meat around each cylinder, adds up to a mighty long engine.
But I bet there wouldn't be a sweeter sounding engine on the road.
Love this Channel and I really would like to see one of these Engines like the one on the Thumbnail in front of me They have to be Massive
Those MTU 20V-4000 prime movers are also used in the KiwiRail DL-class locomotives. They outperform (and so they should) the 7FDL-12s in the (much) older DX-class by about 500hp or so
Kolomna 1D-49, 276000 cubic centimeter, V-20 diesel, 6000hp, it was used in the TEP-80 Russian locomotive (btw which holds the Guinness record title for the fastest diesel-electric locomotive- 271 km/h)
Dissapointed not seeing any Rolls Royce Bergen Engines on this list :(
SunShine MTU Is now RR though
Why? The biggest engine rolls royce made is like a 9.0 litre V16 or the 27 litre merlin v12 aeroplane engine
Or the rolls royce trent turbofan engine
Forgot the Russian Kolomna 1D49 (20ChN26/26), 20 cylinder modification of D49 series (many V16 5D49 found on BR132/232, 2TE116, TEP70 locomotives), it's very limited production 6000hp engine, found on TEP80 (ТЭП80) locomotive, which set world speed record for diesel locomotives 273kmh (sadly, it's unofficial). You can find speed record video on TH-cam by tag ТЭП80.
Sorry my English.
I'm looking to put a new engine in my vespa. Are all of these ok?
Shrapnel Yeah, probably
Finally, an original, well thought out, "will it fit in my _____?" comment 😂
the detroit would be your best option
NO.
IT WILL NOT.
Your vespa on the other hand will fit in the combustion chamber of most of these.
The crankshat is longer than ur vespa.
There's also C175-20 Gas Engine. The Cat 3520 (i have seen the gas variant only, thought it's possible for the diesel too) is the older twin of the C175-20.
You could also add the Jenbacher J320, J420, J620 and J920 engines.
Actually, there is 1 more V20 engine. "1D49" of the record-breaker "TEP80" diesel locomotive. "1D49" is a part of "D49" engine series (there are V8 (6D49), V12 (2D49), V16 (5D49) and V20 (1D49)). They are made by "Kolomensky Zavod", Russia (it translates like "Factory of Kolomna city")
1D49 has 26/26 cm of bore and stroke, 6000 hp @ 1100 RPM, 4 stroke diesel
The video that you showed us at 3:10 secs was "NS SD80MAC 7204 and 7213 idle and power up !! Deep drone !"
¿Sería mucho pedir un vídeo sobre motores de locomotoras 6 en línea? Desde el cariño, me encantaría saber de algunos y poder escucharlos. Gracias!
Really good video and thank you for your time sending it
Here is another V20: Mercedes-Benz MB 518
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_MB_518
Developed in the 1940s, 40°-V20, Four-Stroke-Diesel with mechanical blower or turbo or naturally aspirated.
Based on the concept of the motor LOF 6 used in the Hindenburg!
They were used in the German fast attack crafts of the Zobel-class (140 and 141) and the Jaguar-class (142).
Niiiice
theres a 20 cylinder propulsion diesel in the canadian halifax class frigate made by pielstick. basically its a one of a kind made specifically for the halifax class
Emd... Simply the best!
The MTU 4000 Series engines are still made to this day!
Love that NS livery.
3:37 nice wallpaper 👍
I would like to squeeze that Detroit v20 into the bay of a 2011 ford ranger. We all know those trucks can handle anything.
Hey! There are also Engines from MWM (TCG 2020 V20 and TCG 2032 V20) that use 20 Cylinders. They are CHP's (I work in that area) and V20's are not uncommon to us.
There is a freight train railyard next to my house, a lot of the old EMDs sound like they have piston slap it’s super loud
What about Jenbacher Gas Engines? There are at least four V20 and one V24 engines with the power up to about 10MW.
The EMD would have to be one of the best sounding engines ever
I like your videos, and look foward to the new ones you creat. My only erk about the videos. Is the print is in white. I cannot make out the print. Can you change it to black.
Thank you.
There are also V20 engines by Jenbacher, like for example the Jenbacher J920 FleXtra
And a Cat truck shifts itself. You put it in the last gear position or the one you need to run in and the engine will accelerate and decelerate when it grabs a gear. You just leave your foot on the floor and the computer does the work, up and down.
V20 Pielstick in Canadian Naval frigates. Good for 8500+ HP and 18 knots.
People making big engines to get 2,000HP:
People with supras: sooo let’s put in this 2JZ, this massive ass turbo, and this 2step. Alright! We have 3,400 HP ready!
Detroit's don't have supercharger, they just scavenge and charge the cylinders. They make up for the lack of an intake and exhaust stroke. So they're just, well...chargers.
It's a mechanical blower which does not create any boost over the atmospheric pressure.
The two cycle Detroit's have to have blowers and they do build boost - the blowers turn around 1.5 give or take faster than the crank speed - the 2 cycle won't start without the blower spinning and compressing the air into the cylinders....
The 20-710G3 is capable of more than 5000 hp. It actually probably makes closer to 5700. 5000 was just a conservative number chosen by Conrail and EMD. To evidence this, all of the former Conrail SD80MACs, now owned by Norfolk Southern, are having their 20-710G3s uprated to 5500 hp as part of a rebuild program.
I think EMD tried to push 6,000 hp out of those V20s at one point but found it to be inapplicable.
Someone attach a differential, four wheels, and a steering system to one of these and drive it around.
It would resemble a bulldozer.
Eric Caves It’s been tried before with very limited success. EMD tried to make one of those massive mining dump trucks that are like twice the size of a house powered by a 16-645E making around 2000 hp, and it didn’t really work well.
Go to 5:39
They do. It's called a Cat Quarry Truck or Mining truck.
Could you explain how 2 stroke diesels get such high thermal efficiency. Cant find anything really online. cheers
Thnx mate. Ive heard though that 2 strokes have a certain operating range/span. And when out of that they are inefficient. And thats why they arent used in cars who go from stop to highway to stop much, unlike large boats who use the same rpm for hours/days. How come that is?
I worked for a company that had a 12v92 standby generator with air start and when it started it was a screamer went full power when lit off.
you can hear and feel these engines power even through computer monitor
Missed the MWM 2020V20 engine we're producing 😮
EMD the best engine builder
gostei desse video do caminhao trocando marcha tem mais desse video desses caminhao em operação carregado
Crazy motors! Cool videos, even tho you talk funny
The Ruston 270 series was available as a 20RK270V
2:09 that engine would look good in my car.
Great video! I wanted to offer one point of clarification, you are incorrect in stating that the wartsila series 34 is a petrol burning engine. it does not operate using spark plugs like a petrol engine would, it is a compression-ignition engine. When they say gas in referencing its fuel capabilities, they are not referring to petrol, but natural gas such as methane or propane. it is common for manufacturers to offer a natural gas-burning compression-ignition engine, Cummins offers an ISX 13 that is powered by natural gas. Like the Cummins I am referring to, This engine is still a compression ignition diesel engine, just with the flexibility of running natural gas in place of fuel oil. www.wartsila.com/products/marine-oil-gas/engines-generating-sets/dual-fuel-engines/wartsila-34df
Don't forget to mention that these dual-fuel engines use diesel as a pilot to light the natural gas.
What does that last engine, a monster of an engine power?
Power Plant. It powers a generator.
Will one of them fit in your Honda?
Markybo Jens
The real question is, will your honda fit in it?
I have a question, this have turbo ?
Love that outro
So a bigger engine is more efficient?
Yes but in a ridiculously large fashion. Say you had a 350 Chevy, and went to a454. Not as efficient. If you to say,454 cubes a cylinder,then it would be more efficient. It's got to do with the sheer mass of moving parts. It may take a minute and quite a bit of fuel to get an engine up to speed,but once it's at it's rated speed,it takes very little effort to keep it there.
Basically,more mass equals less effort,once it's in motion. That's my take on it,anyway,for what it's worth.
do the best/most innteresting supercharged diesel's
daniel solberg the emd 20-710 is definitely in there. The sound of them is just perfect.
I hate to tell you but that wartsila engine at the end of the video is not even close to the largest internal combustion engine made. The wartsila rta96-c is. It is 44 feet tall and 90 feet long and makes 109,000 horsepower.
Is it a V20, this video is about V20 engines
Please make a video featuring some JZX
