those motors are prolly found in freighter ships they might be efficient but do you know how long i could drive my caddy on one piston firing of fuel?
prolly 2 weeks?
Let's actually figure it out. OK so IF 1,660 US gallons per hour to operate thats 6274.8 Litres per hour.
102rpm * 60 minutes = 6120 revolutions an hour.
Therefore, 6274.8 Litres/hour / 6120 revolutions an hour is just over 1 Litre per revolution for all 14 cylinders (which is nuts) so thats about 75 ml per cylinder each time it goes *bang* IF IT WERE TO FIRE ON EVERY CYLINDER ON EVERY REVOLUTION.
but it doesn't. It's a two stroke so every other stroke is a power stroke right?
so its more like 150ml per fire.
If my calculations are right :wink: ........... Duane.
don't look at me to bail you out on this ! besides i warned you! also i been out of school for over 25years now! my math really sucks at my old age! :shock:

Heheh! finally you respond!
Just pullin yer leg Duane!
Well, this isn't a 2-stroker but it is a V16. Picture shows the right bank of a locomotive engine. I was part of the team that designed it. Those team members including myself and other details of the engine and the test cell in which the pic was taken have been cropped out for security and NDA.
