Mega Diesel Engine made in germany. MTU (Engine and Turbine Union Friedrichshafen) is a brand of Rolls-Royce Power Systems. Their propulsion systems and large diesel engines, for example, neatly heat ships, heavy and military vehicles or railways. Not infrequently bring such drives namely achievements of up to 12,000 hp. The mega diesel engines are manufactured in the idyllic Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance, but the engines "Made in Germany" have long been used worldwide.

[@tjohnson9051]

[@painmagnet1]

The guy is probably a very good welder but still, this was a sloppy way to make a pipe. A single, hydroformed piece would be much better. Like the rest of the engine's construction, this part was crudely made.

[@ronen124]

@blackdaan , haha true

[@georgemurray8250]

Welding pieces like that is old hat. In my company that would have been bent to shape using a hydraulic manipulation tool. Constant repeatability and accuracy.. Ex British diesel engine company - much quicker. 3 hours to remove a cylinder assembly - very slow, Rustons could do it in 1.5 hours years ago.

[@wayneholzer4694]

I wish my father was alive to see this documentary. He was a Marine Engineer Diesel Mechanic he never worked on ships of this size he worked on prawn fishing trawlers. But he would of loved watching this as much as I did he would of told me a lot of what is going on behind the scenes R.I.P Dad but i have to say the amount of intelligence natural and artificial that has gone into its design then all the manual labor to build and maintain plus the special machinery to make it all happen mind blowing. Love documentaries showing how dar we have come as humans but how far engineering in all fields have come by means of people in the self quest to better things and ideas collaborating to make things like this happen.

MTU ship engines are usually coupled with Kamewa jets (both companies are owned by Rolls-Royce). It's amazing that it's even possible to build water jet impellers that can stand 10MW of power.

[@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO]

It's amazing that an engine like this actually produces megawatts of power. And it certainly cost Mega-$millions of dollars (or Euros) if this massive factory is only producing 25 (or 35?) engines a year.

I love this documentary. I actually wish it was more detailed, and showed more of the machining and testing of the engine at the MTU factory. I was amazed at the amount of special tools they use in the assembly of the engine. Every task has it's own fixture, lifting device, and wrench. Every lifting device perfectly balances the workpiece in the correct orientation for assembly. It's the German mania for perfection that makes this possible.

[@daleburrell6273]

...TRADE SECRETS(?)

Yes - it's crazy to think about how each step of the assembly has unique sub components, and even that overhead gantry system is a masterpiece of engineering in terms of both hardware and software within itself

It was very detailed, one of the best I've ever seen. However, I did notice the machining was skipped and thought the same thing. Did you notice 75000 Nm of torque? Thats roughly 55000 Ft Lbs.
