I wonder how that would compare to a Nuclear powered ship.

 

[Slimline]

Holy crap now that is a boat load of torque output!

 

[funkymatt]

This is a knife!

 

[mrSHEiK124]

So, if I were to just add wheels, I could go back in time?

 

[Goosemaster]

damnit...now I want an MB lorry.... stupid internet.

 

[Farang]

That's not an engine that's a spoon.

 

[destrekor]

That looks like the kind of engines that power the Shuttle Mover

10 second boat.

Holy moly...look at how many axles are on that truck.

Finally, a solution to bring our bulk beef home - with a bulk-sized engine!

price-wise, I'm sure conventional is cheaper

 

[npoe1]

No on the metric system

It's for the new Maibatzu Monstrosity SUV. It seats 12 and is equipped to drive on Arctic tundra, but most people will just commute with it.

 

[SlowSpyder]

I want to know the specs on that SUV sized turbo in the second link in the OP. My guess is it'd be a bit on the laggy side for the average 4cyl Honda application.

:laugh: at some of the replies here!

These engines are prime movers for ships. Modern ships use as many as six to generate electrical power. This power is used for everything onboard including propulsion and steering via bow tunnel thrusters and azipod propulsion systems. Large azipods can be over 30MW EACH.

Nuclear power requires a crew of nuclear certified engineers as well as a staggering budget secured by taxpayer funding. The obvious advantage is no bunkering (re-fueling) required for as long as TWO YEARS.
