I watch this video to feel manly again after watching cute animal videos.
😂👍
Haha!!! 😂
I watch it for the relaxing sound, after watching auto accident, autopsy, and cartel killing videos.
अजस्र!
Feel you
Im not sure what is more impressive, That something this size actually runs or how this engine is actually manufactured
Or even designed
And repaired
All that machinery to bring a $6 toaster from China to Walmart.
And consume tons of fuel per hour. However, impressiv . Greetings from Germany
@@jayindy4068 still the most efficient way to do it even if it does use a ton of fuel.
The machinery to bring a few millions of toasters at a time...

I am absolutely fascinated by those humongous turbochargers

The engine room is as clean as an operation theatre. Whoever is / are doing it, deserve a gold medal. I can't keep my kitchen so clean!!!!!
It has manpower on shift-duty exclusively to take care of it...at it's every inch.
The mechanical noise in a diesel engine room is off the chart, and the heat when in the tropics is hellish, time spent in ships engine rooms will cure one of complaining about minor discomforts...
did it for almost 30 years, enjoyed and survived 😂
@@dieterk9568I only did 4 years back in the 1960s, in steam and diesel, memories I wouldn't trade for anything ... cheers
Pretty amazing. My Dad was a machinist. Mid 70's-early 80's He made the pistons and other main parts for the Navy ships built during those years. He would tell me how big the Pistons and rods were for the ships motors. Pretty Cool.
Hi @Christchild211. Yes it is amazing to see these massive machines. Coming up is a new video of a ship with no less than six main engines... this thing is huge. Also in a couple of weeks I hope to have a new video of a container ship engineroom. Those are often extremely spacious. Stay tuned.
😢😢😢😢😢
107,000HP at 102RPM is about 5.5 million ft-lbs of torque. I'll be very interested to see the battery and electric motor technology that will replace this...
Well the navy did just create one that could be powered by a reactor that is 50% as strong as this one. Two of those and a reactor would probably still be smaller than this. The future is here buddy
@@devoncantrell3311 just checked i completely agree with you but old diesel engines still bangs tho.
@@idiotsgame4484 sorry for the snarky bit at the end. But yeah no the power of electric motors vs their size is insane.
Doesn't need to just Convert it to hydrogen.

Amazing, you have to take your hat off to the very clever engineers who design and build these incredible ship engines.
This ship is 400 metres long?, wow that’s almost half a kilometre.
Me: watching locomotive engines
Me: wow, big and powerful!
RUclips: so, wanna see this monstrous 80.000 KW naval engine?
Me: YES. YES I DO
Yes the giant wartsilas, sulters or man b@w 2 strokes,
Cat 2 stroke with laseer ports cut into it, could be done on any CNC laser! hehe
In the early 1,960s B&W produced marine diesel engines with a power output of 2,000 HP (1,500 kW) per cylinder. 60 years later these new engines produce four times as much power per cylinder than the engines I attended on board ships in the early 1,960s! If that is not progress I don't know what is!
I had a look on board a ship called Dewdale in 1974. She was on charter to the MoD. She had a 9 cylinder Burmeister-Wain diesel engine producing 19,500 horse power. That was big, but not as big as this one. Truly an amazing feat of engineering!!
Burmeister and Wain,for me the best ones.
B&W,the best engines I have worked with.

I guess Rudolf Diesel would say the same about this engine as the Wright Brothers would say about the Airbus 380. “WTF is that”
Jon Rudolf. Yes. Yes he would.
proud to say I have worked on this engine🤩🤩🤩
I envy you
how about its emissions when running on bunker oil?
What was your position?
@@murkymrglbrgl4291 we have the technology to 'clean' the emissions from these ships. nuvinuvi.blogspot.com A 6 cylinder diesel engine is the same as a 20 cylinder engine in terms of reducing their emissions!
The engine room is very clean.
What a beast. In my youth I worked for Cooper Bessemer in Stratford Ontario Canada. The 20 or 16 cylinder KSV was the largest engine they made at that time. It had a 63 foot long crankshaft. That is coming from an 80 year old so likely I may be making mistakes. I was 18 when I started there. Right out of machinist school. They found that getting us fresh and new we weren't bothered by the size of the engines and pipe line compressors we were making .Trade machinists traditionally didn't stay there very long. Seeing this sure brings a lot og great memories back to me. Thank you.
Diesel engines cruse ship
Thats an enormous engine but suddenly became tiny when you see the whole ship.
This engine weighs 2300 tons,
generates: 7 500 000 Nm of torque at 102 rpm.

Everything is cleaner than I'm able to keep my kitchen.
siiiiii igual mi cocina sis jjajjaj , saludos desde cordoba Argentina 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You should see it after a overhaul but it was cleaned up quickly after the job and you waxed and polished the floors in the engine room.
It never ceases to amaze me what man has accomplished in the 21st century
threi s polsaka stupid "engineer" that is lost in the engine room. 02:44
Main engine with a couple of "little" loco engines for generators. . Enjoyed your walk around. Second best to being there. Would love to do a trip to see how it all works closeup.
The propeller definetly has a huge torque ,fight against the water and also handling the entire ships
The boiler plate said the output was 80000 KW. If I did it right, that's about 107,000 hp. That's a lot of horsepower.
A lot of horsepower indeed, around 80000kW's worth :-)
this monster engine------belongs to the register factory---wartsila, a finland industrial factory, but, most of the engine's components are built in germany, then those components parts will transport to assembly plant in japan for construction into an entire/complete engine, and then, the whole unit will be shipped several hundreds miles away to daewoo ship yard for installation on board of any huge commercial ships , daewoo ship yard is a huge ship manufacturing site in south korea, currently is the largest commercial cargo ship, tanker ship and container ship manufacturing site in the whole world.
very interesting and thank you for the breakdown!
I thought the Doosan Engine company is S. Korean.
Wonderful! Scotty would love it!
I am afraid Scotty has been beamed up...

Awesome piece of gear, incredible engineering, somebody designed this thing, would love an engineering job on this ship
Why is it that people always write such stupid comments, just enjoy the video and shut up about it, I liked the video, good job 👍🏼
Ha ha. Thank you Frank. I totally agree. Actually I am investing in better audio recording equipment, so you can hear more details in the engine noise in future video's. And make sure you really turn up the volume so high that you need to wear ear protection, just to feel the situation. 😉
Oh come on? What is stupid about - “CAN I PUT ONE IN CHEVY”... or “IS IT A HEMI?”.. these are highly intelligent questions.
@@krakenwoodfloorservicemcma5975 Sure they are highly intelligent questions ;-). Let me ansver them quickly now: 1. If you name your massive container ship "Chevy", you can "put one in it. Your Chevy pickup would not even have the capacity to lift even one of the turbo's. 2. No it is not a HEMI. It is a two stroke engine that has pistons with nearly flat tops. Also these engines would be able to burn mostly anything you put into them. Take your asfalt in your street, heat it up enough to be liquified, filter it, and keep it warm. The engine would run on it... Beat that.
I was passed by the Mearsk Iowa and The One Tribute the other day whilst at sea, amazing machines
Such a giant of an engine and engine room, and not a speck of dust or oil anywhere and not a pin out of place. the place is so clean that I wouldn't mind sleeping on the floor with the sound of these giant engines buzzing all around. people responsible for their upkeep deserve a medal for their hard work. I just love the whole technical area.
True but the wooden pallet storage leaves a bit of room for improvement.

Pretty dang cool. thanks for posting this.
Respects to the marine merchant navy engineers in the engine room my father was one for 9 years in the 1960's respects respects hundred times over
Wonder how many quarts of oil it takes for an oil change. ;D
They don't really change oil on these. It is a continuous consumption of oil, and they have a tank with 650 m3 of engine oil onboard.... Massive numbers.
@@andresteinum
Honestly I thought it might have a dry sump oil system due to the size. A crankshaft that big with a giant oil sump pan would hold thousands of gallons of oil.
It has a sump but the crankcase is dry and the sump is located beneath the crankcase and it's pumped into the engine with the help of pumps
@@sathyanarayanan4032
So does the oil drip off the crank into the sump or is it pumped through the crank into the sump? If the latter, that is a "Dry Sump" system.
@BuckJackson-kc8pb the oil drips into the crankcase which is placed above the sump, thus oil reaches the sump, and then again it's pumped back to the engine, but before it's pumped to the engine its filtered and cooled down.
I think it is about 12 t per hour ! But it is also more than 100 000 hp !
Yes originally 13,3 ton an hour. This one had been modified to reduce the oil consumption. Don't know how much it now use. 108 000 hp.
Amazing how clean everything is. Love to know what ship it is
well its not the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales because the drive shaft isn't broken.
clean before filming
@@damirzamirKeeping an engine room clean is just good seamanship. Helps a lot with spotting leaking pipes...
time 2:19 it is 80,080 kW at 102 rpm. and
1 hp = 0.745699872 kilowatts;
so 80080 kw= 80080/0.745699872= 107 389 horse Power or hp.
Turbos are the loudest source of noise, just like big rigs.
Do you have a clip of the v-tech kicking in?
Hats of to the person who has shot this video, superbly maintained engine room
Thank you Mohamed. Stay tuned, a new video is coming any day now. From a very special ship..
How nice of you to say so sir 😎
@@andresteinum hoping for a reply, but how did you aquire a job like this? Like how did you get into this field?
@@C_Burke Hi Cody. I have been working as a service engineer since 2004. Started as electrician in a company that made maritime equipment like switchboards etc.
To get the spec's on this engine ,Google the largest diesel engine in the world , it weighs 2300 tons, the crankshaft alone weighs 300 tons, it puts out over 100,000 HP and turns over around 100 RPM, the fuel is so thick it has to be heated 1'st, note the size of the injectors and the lines feeding them😱.
Engineers wet dreams. Mechanics worst nightmare.
Big and heavy but easy to work on
@@nainitalism easy by shore service team?)
Engines like this run on bunker crude oil. This oil is thick and has impurities like water and sand in it, therefore the oil is first heated to make it flow easier, then spun in a centrifuge to strain out impurities, and finally injected into the cylinders where compression detonates it. With a low 100 rpm, the engine is coupled directly to the controllable pitch propellor eliminating the need for a transmission or clutch.
These engines now run on either Marine Gas Oil (MGO), Marine Diesel Oil (MDO) or Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO). Bunker C is a true heavy fuel oil. It hasn't been used in a long time. For years it was IFO 380-700. (Intermediate Fuel Oil). Now emissions standards require less than 0.5% sulphur, hence VLSFO. And MDO or MGO must be burned within 200 miles of a US port, unless the ship is outfitted with a catalytic scrubber. With a scrubber I believe it is acceptable to run this engine on IFO fuels if I remember correctly.
@@mattpowell409 Interesting. I hope the big container ships will all use cleaner fuel soon, but according to Wikipedia the Emma Maersk and similar ships still run on HFO, or heavy fuel oil. HFO is prohibited in Antarctica however. I toured my cousins ship 20 years ago, which ran on HVO in a Sulzer 2 stroke cross head engine making 20 thousand HP. That's where I saw the veritable refinery of equipment needed to condition the fuel oil.
@@TheGbab I work on containerships for a living and have for 11 years. Heavy Fuel Oil is a term thrown around alot. It literally says IFO on the fuel oil report from the barges. Or at least it did. Now VLSFO is mandated without a scrubber. Ive worked on these exact engines in the video before as well. The fuel oil is filtered and purified through centrifuges called purifiers. The heaviest oil I've ever seen used in 11 years is IFO 700.
No CPP on vessels with engines like this... FPP for sure.
@@mattpowell409 My wife and i have done cruses around USA and the ship would transition from MGO to Bunker C at night until early in the morning when it would shift back. The deck crews were out well before dawn cleaning the decks and railings from soot as a result of the Bunker. This was a few years back and yes, we were well off shore, but has that changed now? Bunker is supposed to be 20% cost of MGO and worth the trouble to transition.
I would imagine the clutch needs hydraulic assist to engage/disengage the propeller shaft! (like my dad's Austin Westminster in the 60's!!) - just kidding, of course...Thanks for the tour and for NOT putting dreadful music over the ship's ambient 'sound track'!
No Clutch, direct drive by the shaft to the propeller
@@colinthompson4715 Hi Colin...Ok, I was just kidding about the clutch - but does that mean that the engine must be shut down to stop the propeller? Or, perhaps the prop has a mechanical 'feathering' function like aircraft propellers? I was trying to imagine the ship coming up to dock and having the literally shut off the engine to stop forward motion...
@@MimicoBungalow Direct drive, fixed pitch.
@@MimicoBungalow Good question about whether the engine must be stopped in order to stop the prop. I’d imagine it does, being that this is direct drive. It would take a serious clutch to disengage that driveshaft!
Am I right in thinking that the high pitched sound is from the turbochargers?
Absolutely 🙂
Yes
You are correct!
On the typsign of the machine i read 80.000Kw at 102 U/Min. This would be a torque of 7493.000 Nm. Am i right? This means, the machine pulls up 749 Tons with a Speed of 10,7m/sec = 37km/h. I imagine: 19 Trucks, eachone of 40 tons, tied together one tight rope, free hanging, with 10,6m/sec.pulled up. So 19 Heavy trucks, free hanging, could be liftetd by this machine on the highest german mountain (Zugspitze, 3000m) in round about 3 Minutes.
unvorstellbar oder?
Duuuuddee, Nooo, wayyyyyy, man!😎
This whole thing is so massive, I can hardly process the fact that this is a moving object swimming on water
You forgot the manufacturer: "Wärtsilä 14RT Flex96C"
Phone always calls when you are on the bottom floor...
Can I fit this into my Toyota Corolla and if so what fuel consumption can I expect?
Yes it will fit right in. Expect a fuel consumtion of about 190 tons a day... Maybe consider a Supra engine instead..
@@andresteinum 🤣

That was hard time but now i miss that.

Every engineer should have nervous reaction to this telephone ring while around main shaft! :0
I'd be nervous even being around a machine like that. Bigass engines like these are awesome yet terrifying. The forces behind driving the engine and main shaft are just incomprehensible. Lol
Yes, first thought...is something wrong? Low oil pressure?
The guy that came up to me in the video, said the fire alarm had gone of... but I think the sound actually was the phone in the engine control room calling.
What a beast!
Would it fit in a my Camaro? Lolol. Huge engine. Love the sound of powerful engines
Is it the Emma Maersk? 400m!
That's a great tour of the engine and auxiliaries rooms! Thanks.
Amazing technology. My last ship was a first generation Ro-Ro built by Wilhelmsen. 3 SEMT Pielstick engines looked tiny compared to this engine.
Question,how they were those engines? I have heard a lot of negative notes....
I started as a wiper in 1988 and retired 1A/E. Thanks for the videos!
which country's fleet were you working at sir?
My house has walk-in closets..Yea my house has walk-in cylinder bores..
With 107 thousand bhp and 7.6 million Nm of torque, that engine is the definition of absolute power.
nameplate is deficient. need to be four times bigger and made of brass.

@@anggorotriatmojo1200 less
About the same as my old Toyota😬
They need electricity to power the electric heaters for heating the fuel, centrifuging the fuel and pumping it, to drive air compressors, operate pumps to keep fire main pressurised and all the ships water systems operating, the refrigeration for the ships food and all the refrigerated containers. Then there are all the lighting and instruments and navigation aids and radios. The engine probably need electricity for fuel injection also.
The fuel is heated with steam, and the steam is made by burning fuel. The big generators is mostly for powering refrigerated containers among the cargo. The rest of the ship need peanuts in compare.
@@andresteinum . I'll like to see that sizes of the boilers. Please.

Two stroke diesel engine
3:58 why is the turbo not connected to the exhaust manifold?
Slow steaming?
On this specific ship, they had it downgraded to save fuel. One turbine has been blinded off, and there is a new designed propeller. The rpm has been lowered from 102 to 90 rpm I think it was (don't remember excact numbers). This reduced the fuel consumption from 250 tons a day to 160 tons I believe it was. Correct me if I am wrong here. Also reduced the speed of the ship with 10 knots. Down to 25...

@Mathias Elslidnul well a large marine diesel engine weighs 2500 tons -is over 30 metres long and 15 metres high .It makes more sense to build them where the ships are built than ship then half way around the world to the ship builder for installation in the vessel .For example we build Hitachi railway locomotives in the UK as it is much more sensible than shipping fully assembled 100 ton locomotives from Japan .
How many barrels of oil goes in that monster?
10 tons/28.5 thousand liter of heavy fuel per day at 19 to 20 knots at the start of sea passage...
@Geo Thomas
Yes. But it's a crosshead design. It actually does have oil in the crankcase for lubricating.
Doesn't work like a weed whacker engine where it draws the fuel air mix thru the crankcase
It has superchargers that blow air into the side ports of the cylinders, and has one large exhaust valve at the top of the head .
Similar to a old Detroit diesel setup.
But the crosshead design eliminates side loading on the bored.
I am just curious about how to start this kind of big engine
