does it have a throttle? like can it rev up? aint sayin like a car just sayin can it do more then 115rpm?
-
fairbanks and morse engines are used in ships but they were used in submarines more than locomotives and this engine type here was used in ships also I think.
BTW F&M did not in any way invent the opposed piston concept.
-
Actually F-M didn't sell that many OP (opposed-piston) diesels for locos. Mainly for WWII and subsequent submarines. Some have been salvaged, and some are used on Port Jefferson ferry on Long Island Sound.
For 3-crank OP diesel, check out Vickers' "Deltic" engines for patrol boats & locos.

This is a true egneein master piece from the past,not like the new electronic stuff we have today.Of course it was not as powerfull as recent engine,but I just can to kneel before a such of beauty like this.
-
An engine this big requires over 200 gallons of starting air at 300psi dumped all at once through a 1" receiver line. Automatic switching gear directs the air to the proper starting cylinder- there's no way to turn the engine by hand to the proper starting position.
-
I meant,there is one or two crankshaft linked by a gearbox?I know than the Fairbanks-Morse 2 crank shaft concept was mainly used for railroad engine but I'm wondering if it's can be use for a powerplant or a vessel engine too?

It's a double acting engine

In 2003, when the citizens of Copenhagen, experienced a power failure, due to reactor failure in Sweden (where most of the power was - and, I believe, still is - supplied from), this engine was taken in use, and helped to restore the power line once again (being able to start, independently). Now THAT is amazing, so many years after - talk about machinery, build to last... It has since been taken out of the power grid, and is now a part of the Diesel House Museum at the H.C. Ørstedværket.

It is truly a remarkable piece of engineering, both holding the record for so many years and that it's still going, the guy's back then, they could build engines ;-)

It's a 8 cylinder,double acting two stroke engine, with a 840mm bore and a 1500mm stroke, wich add upp to 22500 Hp, at 115 rpm.
It was built in 1933, and the next 30 years it was the most powerfull engine in the world.

What is this huge thing from ? Some big ship ?

No it's a power plant, it has been running a 15000 kW generator, powering Copenhagen.
