World's Largest Crankshaft



This photo is not fake in any way. It's a 300-ton crankshaft from a Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C turbocharged two-stroke diesel engine, the largest engine of its kind in the world.

Each cylinder of the engine displaces 1820 liters to produce a total engine horsepower of 108,920 hp at 102 rpm. Read all about it here.
