    Floating around a Ducati/Guzzi blog this evening and found some 'big stuff' images. Feel free to add to this (I give it three posts before there are boobs.....)

    The RTA96C-14 turbocharged two-stroke diesel engine is produced by Swiss company Wartsila-Sulzer and is the largest and most powerful diesel engine in the world today.
    The peak capabilities of the 14-cylinder RTA96C engine now exceed 80 MW, making it adequate for a single-screw Post-Panamax container liner, which is as large as container liners will get considering their greater cost-effectiveness.
    The RTA96C-14 can achieve a maximum power output of 108,920 hp at 102 rpm and astonishingly, at maximum economy the engine exceeds 50% thermal efficiency. That means, more than 50% of the energy in the fuel is converted to motion.
    Its Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) at maximum power is 0.278 lbs/hp/hr.
    Fuel consumption at maximum economy is 0.260 lbs/hp/hour. Comparatively, most automotive and small aircraft engines can only achieve BSFC figures in the 0.40-0.60 lbs/hp/hr range and 25-30% thermal efficiency range

    Saturn V, Atlas rockets. the list goes on. Sure there is stuff that's bigger, but not much that's cooler.
