I would have assumed a slave engine given the size of the flywheel, apparently this is the starter for a Wartsila, though it's not mentioned which specific engine its for.

 

Obviously a qualified marine engineer too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a thought, does anyone know how you start one of these things? I know about electric start and compressed air starters but this is a bit different. Does it have some form of donkey engine? Any ideas? I've had a quick look on the web and couldnt see anything.

 

search for the following document:              wartsila-RTA96C-engine-technology-review.pdf

On the contrary, I know as much about Marine Engineering as you know about Formula 1.

Nah , I think your knowledge of Formula 1 is on the par with your knowledge of Marine. Don't be too modest.

yeh I agree.

Boys,boys, boys! Please stop this 'mine is bigger than yours is' nonsense, it's not neccessary!

mo, how did your exam - or what ever it was - go today, you seemed to be saying it was life changing.

mo, how did you test, exam or whatever it was that was going to change your life go yesterday? Good feelings about it?

Thanks for asking. Didn't happened on Friday due to unavailability of the examiner!!!

By the way, I posted a brief details of starting the big diesel engine. It was sourced from the manufacturer of the engine. It is at the bottom of page 1 and the name of the document it came from.

Been away in Norfolk for a few days so been out of touch. I'll check it out.

I was curious, stigga, and had a look.  It's stupendous!  What a piece of machinery, how on earth did they build it.  Some of the parts would have to be cast wouldn't they?  Abolutely amazing !!!  I've attempted to add a picture, hope it works.

 

The cylinder deck (10 cylinder version).  Cylinder liners are die-cast ductile cast iron.  Look at the size of those head studs!:

 

That's a veritable banquet for an engineer to feast his eyes upon.

Reminds me of the Monty Python sketch with the two housewives:

"where you been?"

"I've been shopping"

"what you buy?"

"piston engine"

"you gonna cook it?"

" 'course I'm not gonna cook it"

"well you can't eat it raw!"

Rubens vindicated! Brawn are using tiny mechanics on his engine instead of the proper ones Button is getting
