@BanditDragoon but while a supercharcged flat four can maybe make it 200-250k miles before a rebuild, some of these engines have run at full throttle for over 30+ years without shutting down.
You can see this engine run the last weekend of July and the first weekend in Aug at the Great Oregon Steam Up located at exit 263 off I-5 in Brooks Oregon. It is located in the Hilands Building along with other large engines. Very interesting place to visit and very family friendly, so bring the kids and let them ride the miniture steam trains!
It was used to pump water near Riverside, Calif. There were two of these engines setting side by side each pumping 2000 Gal. per minute over a 400 foot high hill, 8 miles into 7,500 acres of citrus orchards in Riverside County.
you can always increase the tq at the wheel by reducing the revolutions at which you make it do work. but how much tq you cna have at a certain veloicty/ rpm depends on power output. in which case its 200. So this engine would make the same wheel tq at same wheel rpm as any other 200hp motor. This one would have to increase the rpms to match a car motor, while a car motor would reduce its revs (increasing tq) to match this...dont think you understand the relationship of hpvs tq.
I think your off on this. The formula for HP is Torque x RPM Divided by 5252. This engine vertainly produces more torque than a modern 4 cyl economy engine. The Revs are much much lower, and so the HP # is lower too. This big engine would not be much use in a car.. But could power a small ship... the same HP 4 cyl car engine would not. The numbers get a little messed up making the HP number seem low, when the engine never turns more than 5252RPM.
There is an easy way to think about all this. Torque is a measure of power at a given instant in time. You can have 800lb/ft of torque at 0rpm. You could have a million even, and that would = 0 horse power. The reason an increase in rpm gives an increase in hp is essentially you are able to pump more fuel through it in a given amount of time, and thus, more power. Effeincy of course means that hp number vaires with rpm.
Is there any difference between a diesel, a petrol and a gas engine works? Because I'd like to know. The only difference I know is the fuel.

@keyboardjeff Petrol and Gas are the same thing. Otto cycle. Diesel is diffrent. Wikipedia will explain everything.

and to think you can now get the same 200 horsepower from a turbo charged flat 4 engine O.o

@BanditDragoon true, but Torque is the measure of an engines ability to do Work. The 4 banger may have @150pound feet...this has about 8-10,000.

any figures as to fuel consumption?
JAROSLAVAGINA 2 years ago
I forget the fule consumption, but I do know it is like 2million cubic inch displacement.

i wonder how much them rod bearings would cost ??? i know u would have to have them made :) but very cool engine :) 5 *

wheatever torq or power or rpm but its great piece of engineering which is still goin on smothly

Thank god Hit 'n miss engines never got that big.

That is a hit and miss engine. that is what is kind of crazy about it.

Nice find Harry.

its intersting how these old engines seem to make 1 horsepower per rpm, thus the constant 5252 that is used in the formula is also the torque as well

Super pump! Thanks for the video clip.

wow, that is interesting. that sounds like alot of water too. thanks

what rpm does it hit 200 horses?
tocaracer06 4 years ago
It is rated 200 HP at 200 RPM's, 17x24 bore and stroke.

GoLLY that's lovely

hehe, do the math on that folks, its a bit over 10,000 cubic inches of displacement.
Polybun 4 years ago
heh, heh. Do some more math on that, folks. That's also 5252 lb-ft of torque. Yeah, I'd have to agree it's quite a monster.
