- Giant machines are powered by the biggest engines ever made! They will blow your mind! Some of these engines are larger than multi-story buildings and power the largest trucks and vehicles you will ever see. We look at machines from companies like Caterpillar, Union Pacific Railroad, Boeing, MySE, Aerojet Rocketdyne, and Wärtsilä. Have you ever seen any of these in real life? In this episode of Xplained we take a look at the biggest machines ever created.

Caterpillar engine fits in a Miata for sure
😂😂
Nah it is a Miata
100%
I just imagined that and laughed my head of that would be sensational
Should you have a Miata to install that engine please let me know, I am willing to help with the installation, been there, done that.

Hammond: The ocean evaporates.
Engineer: No problem, also can do.
"We have spare ocean"😆
*I'm so glad* he referenced the "3 T-Rex's" weight, because just saying it weighs 23,400 kgs is so arbitrary and difficult to imagine.
the americans will use anything, but metric system
You can imagine it as 20 something medium sized cars for reference since cars on average weigh around a 1000 kgs.
cry harder
@@PushyPawn k.
@@PushyPawnMost Pacific Comment ever
1:13 Such a weird way to compare weight.... with a freakin' T-Rex???
Anything but the metric system
@iTs_Sunday FTW He used it here at least once 2:45. Not to mention, the metric system is superior in every way. Keep measuring with your thumb cave man style.
'Merica moment
@@BerserkeR._. how much that statue 🗽 wait?
:About 245 gorillas.
-How much 245 gorillas wait?
: About 30 thousand average human ass.
Yeah !! only dad my has seen t rex in my family!!
The most amazing engine in my world is the one on my motorcycle - it has never let me down.
What bike do you drive? :)
Yet 😊
I can feel you
The Big Boy locomotive, at that time in history was awesome. Most of the others were larger but at 82 years old, I saw some of the last steam locos, and they always fascinate me to this very day.
ya, i wish they would've done a breakdown of what's inside the engine itself. i know enough to get myself into trouble, but reckon most whippersnappers watching have no idea what's going on in there!
agreed😀

This train was born in 1986. It lit up the world that year, I was 43 years old at that time.
I am a retired Army Prime Power Production Specialist (was 52E, it has changed). Upon leaving the military I worked for Detroit Diesel as a field service technician. In those capacities I worked with and on very large generators up to 6.5 MW for land based power. Also marine generators, marine propulsion and switch gear. Great field to be in and I am glad that I had the education to qualify for that field. I was prior service Navy as a sonartech in the advanced electronics field. My Navy education allowed me the opportunity to graduate as Distinguished Honor Grad in school. With the schools in both branches totaling nearly four years, it made getting a great job after serving quite easy. Gotta love huge engines! 🙈🙉🙊

I absolutely adore anything engines what an amazing video I've watched it after times. Love it!!
Round of applause for the engineers and mechanic
Yes officer, it’s stock
Thanks for this Xplained, some really cool engines, I wonder if we could make a gravity drive.
Cool stat at about 6:54. The rocket using up 15 tons of fuel a second!!! With my old 2002 diesel Berlingo I get about 500 miles with 50 gallons.
Somebody once told me that the QE2 travelled 12 inches to the gallon.
Thois guy got no chill. Those wind turbine produces 80,000 FUCKING MEGA WATT he says at 5:13
@@jenilpatel7048 I would not fully trust this vid on accuracy. Several things he mentions in this vid sounded off and when checked it was wrong. Also, a turbine isn't an egnine, shouldn't be in this vid in the first place.
I like how you spell Xplained. Very rad.
That stat 15 tons of fuel per second must be a lie. There is not enough space in the body of that rocket for that amount of material. I call bs on that stat.
The New Jersey battleship gets 7 feet per gallon.
There are some amazing comments that are very educational in and of themselves.
These engines are just cool. All of them. I’m fascinated with the raw and absolutely power of all of these in general.
Apart from the T Rex comparison and even then why not I guess, great video! Thanks.
Everytime I encounter a video like this I stop and watch til the end, the world is such a amazing place with invention like these machines.
I cannot imagine how grand the Sea Dragon's engine would be if it was ever built, you should try and make a video about it!
rocket engine sea dragon, δεν μπορεί να κατασκευαστεί! Το είπαν για να εντυπωσιάσουν. Είναι εκτός πραγματικότητας.

The Wartsila RT-Flex is the most incredible engine, a few years ago I was lucky enough to see the RT crank shaft being machined at the Skoda Works in Plzen, Czech Republic.

while the 100,000 horsepower figure is impressive, thats not even the most impressive part. low revving large engines like this are meant to produce torque, by rotating that massive crankshaft and this engine makes about 5.6 million ft/lbs of torque, an absolutely insane figure.
Caterpillar engine fits in a Miata for sure. The engineering minds behind these are phenomenal.
"Weighs as much as 3 Tyrannosaurus's" I appreciate the American measurements.
i actually visit the Caterpillar plant where they make the C-175, and they do not use it to power the haul trucks. they’re used for hotel power on ships, or as generators.
Round of applause for the engineers and mechanic. Caterpillar engine fits in a Miata for sure.
I KNEW a large ship engine would be top of the list. The ones that are on cruise ships are absolutely insane
as a fan of trains im thanking this guy for adding an information of railfan's most favorite train called Union Pacific 4014
The first engine you showed cranking up is a CAT 3516, roughly the same size as its C175 counterparts but not the same and far more reliable. The largest CAT made engine is a 3600 Series which is much larger.
@@DeadChan67 For starters, the GCM as we call it in the oil/gas industry, is not actually a CAT engine but a German designed engine. I actively work on them in Northern Colorado and Nebraska, got sent to Germany to learn how to work on them. So once again, the largest CAT made engine is in fact the 3600.
@@DeadChan67 What are you saying "actually" for, like I'm wrong or something. I said they are a German made engine, MaK is a German company. If we really want to get down to the weeds CAT does in large own the engines. I work for Caterpillar, on all of the engines I have stated. CAT does not badge the engines as ours, they still have the MaK nameplate and coloring. Once again, the largest CAT made engine is in fact the 3600 series.
@@DCB1209 My fault, by “Actually”, I meant the GCM engines, not the 3600’s

The first one is for sure not 3516😂
T-Rex reference really put things into perspective for me. thanks.
I wonder how good these are for off-roading…
Caterpillar works the best
just to think that the caterpillar engine is only 5 dodge demons... like only 5 that just seems insane
It produces 16,474 lb-ft torque. It doesn't rev very high thats why it's horsepower is low. But when moving a lot of weight you need torque not horsepower.
But the Torque is like 20 Demons
Man yall are smart all this going above my head
💁♀️"Let's compare the engine weight to something the viewers can relate to"...🤔
🙋♂️ "How about a dinosaur"
🤷♀️"Sure why not.. T-Rex it it is"
A T-rex weighed only 8 tons (just like a mammoth) : even not as heavy as 1 mid-size Wartsila piston !
Feeling proud to have worked on the mighty RT -FLEX 96C B Engine.
Seafarer Life
While it isn't a conventional "engine," they're still engines nonetheless. The AW4 reactor plant on Nimitz carriers produces well over 200,000 horsepower at the shaft.
Συμφωνώ.Θα έπρεπε να αναφερθούν και οι κινητήρες ατμού που λειτουργούν με πυρηνική ενέργεια.
Το βίντεο έχει πολλά λάθη.
Από όλες τις μηχανές που έδειξε η F1, είναι η ισχυρότερη! Εκατοντάδες φορές πιο ισχυρή!
By Nimitz are you referring to the Aircraft Carrier?
Worked on the Wartsila 96C engines. The size is hard to believe till you see it. Mine was rated at 77000BHP.
The engineering minds behind these are phenomenal
In a way... but they're just doing bigger versions of obsolete high-pollution tech. The engineering minds I respect are the ones trying to make propulsion clean again.
@@fugue137 It's very easy to say that, as much as i want clean energy as well. Combustion just has yet to be beat, especially at this scale. EV companies have made great breakthroughs, but I doubt they scale in size well, with that much power draw.
I cant believe a 2jz in a Toyota supra is not in this video
Very good and informative video
Wow, very impressed with your efforts
5:15 "can generate 80,000MW of electricity" Yeah, I don't think so, that would be equivalent to 40+ nuclear reactors. Should have said "80,000MWh per year" (the onscreen text does state MWh)
Exactly, there is a difference between Watt and Wh
In my opinion the last ship engine won!!!!
I've seen and worked on MAN B7W 6S70MC-C8 86,000 HP engine, was quite something else!
That Wind Turbine about to be Installed Early Next Year should be One of the 8th Wonders of Human Achievement. 118metre Blade WTF ! 😱. The Blades Rotation covers 6 Football Fields WTF! 😱, My Mind can't process that, its going to be a Huge Tourist Attraction for sure
Awsome stuff!
"Each piston is 5.4 tonnes" as they just casually chillen on rollerblade wheels!
I got to see the big boy 4014 2 times. A true sight and a once in a lifetime opportunity
these engines are insane
I like how he's specific about the number of homes they can power so we safe in an apocalypse.
Quadruple turbo is a classic modification for a jdm car
T-Rexes need to become the new standard of measurement in the USA we'll call em, FREEDOM UNITS
Keep it up because you are the best
According to myself, the most amazing engine, in your list, was MySE 16.0-242 the largest wind turbine engine the 16 MW off shore giant,
Top notch hangover content
"Thats as heavy as 3 T-rexes"
Thank you for translating it to american units
Imagine how loud that'd be if the mechanics missed a skill check
LMAOO, DBD reference?
@@theDon_Dre yup
@@Matcha_Biscuit That missed skill check would probably destroy our eardrums haha
The last one will fit in a miata for sure
those caterpillar trucks are so cool
remember folks, these caterpillar trucks transports cobolt to factories that produces the batteries for your little environmental disasters of electric cars.
5:16 megawatt hours and megawatts are two different metrics. The basic capability of the turbine is 8MW. 7:15 "high energy gun powder"?? PLEASE! Gun powder and solid rocket motor fuel aren't even close. 9:39 the RT-flex96C is the most powerful internal combustion engine, not what you said. Wartsila engines are built by a variety of heavy manufacturing companies around the world: Wartsila DESIGNED the engine.
Thank you for calling Him Out, My Mind was getting Blown Left , Right and Center .i was going "Wow" Wow" None Stop 😂 . He needs to do his Homework first before Posting, Now he lost Credibility
Well Wartsila themselves said that its the most powerful engine in the world and nothing else seems to compete. No you are also wrong for assuming a variety of heavy manufacturing companies around the world build the engine. That's true for some huge machinery but not in this case. Technically, Wartsila design and build their own engines. Sulzer builds Wartsila's engines and Wartsila owns Sulzer. that's why its called the Wartsila-Sulzer RT-flex96C. Also he just missed a word he meant to say megawatt hours which the subtitles suggest. He's trying to explain solid rocket motor fuel in layman terms because not everyone is so knowledgeable in rocket science. 🤷♂
I wonder how much 8MW is in football fields...
Actually, the bit about gun powder is right. The Long March rockets use gunpowder to get the rocket off the launch pad BEFORE the main (solid fuel) engine fires - saves having to harden/refurbish the pad.
@@andrewmcalister3462 Interesting, thanks.
Incrível!
This is the video that earned my subscription
I really like this trick thank you.
the last one fits in a Miata for sure
I have a 4000hp engine on my tugboat but I don’t consider the propellers a part of the engine. Yes it’s part of the whole drive train but it’s a separate component.
That dudes smile like " don't worry man we can fix all this 😁"
Some pretty cool stuff brehz!
Former Boeing Everett where giant planes are built in the biggest building on Earth..... I have been up close and personal with the GE9x turbofan engine used on our 777's and 787's. G stands for Gigantic, E stands for Engine, 9 stands for over nine foot diameter front bypass fan. By the time you add the engine cowling, engine is so big it won't fit inside a house. It is so large it would stick out through the roof.
Damn, you've seen some amazing stuff
@@Lord_Alhaitham Thanks for comment. Boeing puts 'Big' into a whole new perspective.
@@SJR_Media_Group Can you tell some more interesting stories (•‿•)
@@Lord_Alhaitham Thanks for comment. I do like telling stories.
I’m an intern there at the moment. Truly amazing.
in the Miata 8:50
Ship engines are incredible, but things like the Big Boy come with nostalgia from the age that inspired steampunk, hard to beat.
Was on a cruise ship 8 years ago and sat at dinner table with captain one evening. Asked him what kind of mileage our 975 ft. ship got... he paused a moment and said "as near as we can tell, we get around 1 gal. per foot"! I asked if passengers were allowed to see the engines and he politely said no.
At 5:12 A windturbine producing more than 80.000 MW? Sure. That would dwarf the largest power production facility in the world: the Three Gorges Dam at 22.000 MW.
MWh, not MW. I'm guessing it's the total energy produced by year. If we take this and do the calculations, we get a power of around 9.13 MW, which makes sense.
My favourite engine is the 1.5 litre V10 engine used in formula1. There is no match for it in terms of power to zise or weight ratio, or RPM redline.
Honda made the best 1.5 liter F1 engine.
The last one for me,facts are mind blowing thanks...
Supraowner's be like: "That'll fit! If not.. I'LL MAKE IT FIT"
what engines are bucket wheel excavators powered by? I was experiencing something like that to make it into the list
they are electric.
China solid booster numbers is only for a single segment. fully stacked, it actually performance only about the same as the spaceshuttle's SRB.
Q
some day I want to go see Big Brutus the largest electric shovel in the world. Its about a 2 hour drive from me. It looks very impressive
Thanks I got New CZcams Channel to learn more Knowledge from this video
I’m not sure if that windmill is considering an engine.
7:53 Is that Mercedes truck capable of pulling that monstrosity?
There are independent motors under the trailer.
That Rocket engine marvelous
instant subscibed for metric system. well done.
What nuclear reactors? If a wind turbine counts I don't see why that doesn't.
Don’t t let the supra mfs see 8:58
I've amazed what all these engines they are like something from the movie like really like the way they were build what we build these engines and kaywood this idea is a genius
Wow I love watching this
No Greta Thunberg was harmed in this video.
How is electricity going to replace these?
Same 🤷♂️
Motors , if you mean for the generators , then batteries , hydrogen , nuclear could do just as good of a job apart from jet and rocket engines
Alternate title: biggest things that will make just stop oil angry
You win the award for most bizarre weight comparison of 2023 for the 3 T-Rex's.
If stationary wind turbines are included then power plant gas and steam turbines should have been included as well. They can have 10x the power of that huge ship engine.
Shouldn't have been included, wind turbines aren't engines.
@@flybeep1661 And the most powerful gas turbine is a tossup with the most powerful diesel ship engine - though the ship engine has been around an extra decade or so.

The GE90x is only 1/10 of the Soyuz rocket thrust..not the same…think metric….and is not doing too well..
But it's a rocket , the other is an actual jet engine
That's like comparing the energy released during a nuclear bomb
With the energy released in a nuclear reactor, it ain't fair
@@alexandrosandreou8585 there was an error of ten fold in the comparaison of thrust made btw One GE90x the largest jet engine and a Soyuz rocket and the thrust of a rocket or jet engine can be compared only to understand the enormous amount of energy required to put a given load into orbit.. yet not comparing them as mobility means since atmospheric and non atmospheric propulsion fundamentally is different,,,
And also for the energy of fission obtained by the the explosion of a nucleus of U235 by the collision of a neutron issued from a previous fission this energy is basically the same amount of MJ ending into the same residual smaller nucleons elements elements weather fission is inside a nuclear bomb or within a controlled reactor…it is only the amont far greater of moving neutrons captured by water and regulation barres which moderates drastically the controlled reactor number of reactions in a given period of time..while once started the non-interfered chain reaction of the bomb is exponential so fast with sufficient critical mass of enriched U or Pu that the chain fission reaction grow faster than physically the fissible uranium and fusing H2 or Lithium placed around can move away..and fission of heavy nucleus U and fusion of very small H, Li, is then completed in ms, and the resulting deficit of mass generated by both fission and fusion produces a tremendous amount of energy while mass converts to energy according to Einstein’s E= MC square…with C speed of light being very high at 300000kms per sec, energy is enormous..
This is how big the engines are in the car that always pass by my house at 6 am
Oh boy I need one of these engines for my car
In the US we use tons and feet, not kilometers.
I have to use google to know what they're talking about. Hit pause, change pages, and get the answers.
Good for you? The US is one of the few countries in the entire world that doesn’t use metric… everyone else shouldn’t have to accommodate us.
why should we have to accomadate you, you and a couple other countries are the only ones who use those
archaic measure units : it's not surprising, for a backwards country.
You fought for years, to get rid of the british colonisers in 1776,
and you're the only ones on earth to keep their stupid units...and their language :
it's so illogical that it looks like a bad joke... (is it what you call "freedom" ?!).
LOL !
powerful and powerful machines. I really like the machines at 04:46
T-Rexes is my new favorite unit of measurement.
Wouldn't be surprised if this all fits in a miata
using dinosaurs and statues as a weight comparison is wild 💀
Big boi 4014 made my mind blow
plz make a video of largest trains
I like how you use a comparison of weight with the T-Rex. Like all of us are familiar with T-Rex weights 😂
MEGAWATT! MEGAWATT! MEGAWATT!!
I really liked the train one
I liked the piston of Virtzilla RTflex 96c. Man, it's gigantic. One piston ignition will make a tsunami in the ocean.
The size of that piston is actually comical. It seems ridiculous to think it could even work. How could a combustion engine produce a large enough explosion without destroying the seals and such?
The firing pressure is around 140 bars, the piston liner and the cylinder head are also massive, so it can run continuously for many years without major cracks etc
beautiful. all of them
_Thank you!_
