The biggest diesel engine I know of is a 2300 ton, 14 cylinder, turbocharged 110,000 hp monster in the Emma Maersk class of container ships. It's built in Finland.

Seen that beast here in Felixstowe, she is massive! Sadly now she is (I think!) not even in the top five biggest container ships in the world. The MSC Loreto berthed here a couple of weeks ago and I could see her from our office window (second floor, Cosco Shipping house!) and my jaw hit the floor when I saw her. Huge? The words "she's f*****g enormous!" left my lips a few times.........Dont you just LOVE videos like these...........

Interesting video. Pity there are so many errors of fact in it. The furnace was initially said to be a blast furnace (not) then an induction furnace (yes). The metal was said to be steel, actually its cast iron. The piston diameter is not 720mm (as already pointed out by another). There are many other errors of fact, but the overall message of good engineering still comes across.

I’m just thankful that it’s being built in Germany, a place where the people are highly intelligent and diligent. American industry’s quality and excellence is currently being further eroded by “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.” The ill effects of DEI are soaking into every facet of American society. The low IQ “workers” we import from third world nations are causing more harm than good. For example, dozens more US citizens are killed each year by semi truck drivers in fatal accidents involving the driver’s inability to perform his job safety and responsibility on the road. This rise in deaths is directly related to the increase in imported labor and “DEI” hiring policies in America that overlook more qualified workers simply because the melanin levels of their skin aren’t plentiful enough. Even the errors in this video can be attributed to DEI .. did you notice who they chose to narrate the video? The Marxists are on the rise once again.

Diesel fuel literally got named such because of the engine not the other way around.

Three times between 2006 and 2018 I worked for several months across the street from MTU in Friedrichshafen Germany, with Zeppelin. (A different MTU facility from that shown here) The two companies even share a parking garage. Later this year I finally get to go inside MTU for training on a similar 20 cylinder 2.6 megawatt (3,500HP) engine that is the heart of a compressor system we sell to boost the power of Gas turbine generators. Kind of ironic using a reciprocating engine driving a multi-stage intercooled compressor to boost a 100 Mw turbine when the engine itself is turbocharged and intercooled. Nice presentation.

The engine you've shown were the same size as the diesel generators.

Any way you can not compare engine power without engine rpm. The MTU 8000 series produces the power at 1,150 rpm and the car engine you mentioned at much higher rpm therefore the power values are not comparable at all. Those car engines at 1,150 rpm will have much less power than 340 HP.
