What are the most powerful engines ever built? It's a question that quite a few of us have probably wondered at some point. YouTube legend Simon Whistler has attempted to answer that question on a video for his Side Projects channel and the result is a pretty entertaining watch! There's engines from all sorts of different vehicles in there, from container ships to jet airliners to space rockets. Expect some pretty massive engines, pretty massive power outputs and pretty massive fuel bills!

Woowwwwww! That first one is just amazing! The others, too, of course, but that first one made my jaw drop!
Container ships have MASSIVE engines
And that Maersk is like a floating skyscraper! Someone else on DT once posted a story about it that prompted me to look into them a bit. I knew they were (by necessity) enormous but, gosh, I didn't realize just *how* enormous! 🤯
Fantastic video. The scale and power of the ships engine is just unbelievable.
