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.
@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…
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?
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.......!
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").
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.
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.
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).
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 .
If it’s electric, it’s called a motor, not an engine. An engine burns fuel to convert chemical energy into heat through combustion, while an electric motor turns electrical energy into mechanical energy, usually using electromagnetic principles.

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!
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
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.
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..
Hey, Did you ever go to a physics class?? No! I thought to. Well weight moved over distance in time requires Horse Power. That is a fact, So an electric, Diesel, Coal fired, Oil fired engine (Admittedly depending on efficiency) requires the SAME AMOUNT OF ENERGY to move 1 ton, one mile in one minute. Trains do it more efficiently because of steel rails. Big boy produced 7000 - or more - horse power from one LOCOMOTIVE and there is no diesel engine capable of that today. In fact trains usually have FOUR diesel engines or = 4 times the pollution. The only reason they are popular is maintenance. It still takes TWO guys to run them safely. NOW they are running 1 or 2 more DPU engines in the middle of the trains. Don't dare talk about polluting when it comes to oil fired locomotives. Especially the Big Boys. As far as electrical energy - The grid can not support the load it has today never mind adding electric rail equipment to it. It could have been done before they shut down the nuke stations and the coal fired stations but no more, buddy - live with the truth, not the fantasy. Green is actually very brown.
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.
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!
An atomic bomb test in Australia blew a Centurion tank 10 feet. It became Australia's first nuclear tank. It later saw service in Vietnam. The tank still exists. Centurion 169041 is likely the only tank in history to have been hit by an atomic blast and not only survive, but fight in combat afterwards. This tough old tank was designed to fight the Germans in WWII, but proved itself capable of standing up to a nuclear bomb too. This particular Centurion was subjected to a 10 kiloton nuclear bomb from a distance of around 400 meters in the Australian Outback. Test crews returned expecting to find pieces of what was once a Centurion scattered around the site, but they were shocked to the tank in one piece and still functional. Once refueled it drove off. Centurion 169041’s unique distinction of living through the test was reflected by its well-earned nickname: The Atomic Tank. Centurions were designed during WW2 to take on German Tiger and other tanks. To make it go they used a version of the Rolls Royce Merlin fighter engine. The war ended before they saw action.
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 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.
Hey Scary Cherry 🍒, I heard you quantify the engine’s torque output in “pounds-per-foot.” That’s not correct; torque is a force applied to the end of a lever in a direction normal to the radius 🦴 represented by the lever, in this case, centered @ the axis of the engine’s crankshaft.
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
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.
Heavy oil powered. Sort of like cold, used motor oil. Must be pre-heated before use. Heavy oil is preferred for these large engines because it has a higher energy output per liter than diesel.
@@8546Ken it is ignited in the same manner as diesel no difference. The pressure approx. 1000 bar will ignite the fuel when its pump into the cylinder. HFO (Heavy fuel Oil) is preheated and send through a centrifuge and into a fuel plunger ready to push it in the cylinder when the piston has reach TDC.
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.
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.
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. 🤓🤓
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.
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?? 👍
Title says "Most powerful in the world", I didn't see such a thing. Didn't even see the Wartzilla (ap?), the enormous container ship engine. The one ship engine at the beginning was substantially smaller.
The engine that is demonstrated in Copenhagen was built in 1930, and was the largest engine THEN! The thing only weighed in at 1400 tons. The largest current ship's diesel engine (as at 2023) weighs in at 2,320 tonnes, and develops 109,000 hp!
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.
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.

The wind turbines considered motors? I thought that they were simply called generators.
The Koenigsegg is not naturally aspirated as stated or the pics are a different engine? Those are obviously turbos on both sides
I stopped watching when you muted the word "war" for the second time. Why?
YT demonetizes vids with unhappy or non left wing content.🤔
Clickbait. The Most Powerful Engine In The World?
SO WHERE IS IT? Not in your video, that's for sure! 😎
@ 4:35 it looks like the outside engine backfires
Energy is not created.
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.
One R-4360 Wasp Major put out 4300 HP with the addition of two turbochargers along with it's supercharger. Wikipedia.
Beautiful engines, although not the most powerful as the title suggests. And for a windmill its called a generator and MW is MegaWatt.
Used in ships or cities.
