QUOTE(johannes @ Apr 2 2007, 06:05 AM)  I used to have some really big pistons. They were 24" tall and about 12" in diameter. I thought those were big. Think about starting that engine. That alone is probably no easy task. |

QUOTE(Bartlett 914 @ Apr 2 2007, 06:56 AM) I used to have some really big pistons. They were 24" tall and about 12" in diameter. I saw some of those 'garbage cans' on a junk heap at a compressor station for natural gas. The crankcase had access doors. Newer stations had gas turbine engines. I was told that half the gas from the wells was used to power the engines to deliver the other half of the gas to consumers. |
