V engines. The piston with a hole is from a cummins. Similar to that of a semi truck. The big engines are 3,000hp and up. The big motors waiting for fuel are 4,400hp. All of which drive generators that power electric motors. Here's a link to the cummins engine. Each genset has three of those. The big motors are single engine. Here's a promo from GE about the new engines http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_U3ZsVP1VY

Sooo... Herc mind sending me one of decommissioned turbos. Were gonna strap it to my GTP. I'm sure after a few hours we'll get it spooled up.

That's such an interesting job, but I think I'd have more fun with smaller motors.

How many KWs do those things push out? The big boys put out just over 3200KW.

Sounds like the monsters I saw out on the more austere reaches of Kandahar AB.
