    Re: This is a real engine....

    The diesel engine was on a container ship of abotu 800 or so feet. We were doing a hatch cover survey (it was my 2nd day on the job). The engine was made by Mitsubishi. I looked at the nameplate and took a pic, but I forgot the rating.

    The steam turbine was GE I think (or Westinghouse, but pretty sure ge) and at least the generator was only rated at 850-900mW. It was one of 6 units at Possum Point power station in VA. It was 3 stage.

    I posted a couple more pics here: http://filebox.vt.edu/users/jkrushin/jobs/

    but I also have more that aren't uploaded (including pictures and movies looking inside the boiler view holes under fire). More ship pics too.

    There was an article in the last issue of MCN on Kawasaki Heavy Industries- they build mammoth bunker oil diesels too, and there were some photos. Pistons three feet across. Max speed 150revs in the pins. Distance to crash stop boat? miles.
