Nice piece of kit! I was a marine engineer in the 60s and 70s and one ship I had, had a triple expansion engine. You could tell it was working at anything over 40 RPM as the ship used to oscillate with the engine..... even the cook could tell you how many revs we were doing!

@artgoat2 жыл бұрын
@@Setsuna_Kyoura It might be somewhat louder, but consider, unlike a Toyota Corolla engine, this one weighs two hundred eighty thousand pounds. That's a lot of mass damping down vibrations. It also already compresses the incoming gas to 450PSI before it enters the combustion chamber. That's already halfway to the combustion chamber pressure of a car at full throttle, and that's BEFORE ignition. Just running as it is, there is already 114,000 pounds of pressure on the piston. I've heard big pumping station 2-stroke diesel engines operating at full output, and it honestly wasn't amazingly different. More noise when they throttle up, but once they're running at design speed under load, they smooth out. I'd be curious to hear it under full load, too, but I have a feeling I might be underwhelmed.
