Mega Diesel Engine made in germany. MTU (Engine and Turbine Union Friedrichshafen) is a brand of Rolls-Royce Power Systems. Their propulsion systems and large diesel engines, for example, neatly heat ships, heavy and military vehicles or railways. Not infrequently bring such drives namely achievements of up to 12,000 hp. The mega diesel engines are manufactured in the idyllic Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance, but the engines "Made in Germany" have long been used worldwide.

    "It's a job which calls for a lot of experience" - Shows a guy kicking sand around with his feet.

    "Cannot be perceived with the naked eye" -> guy inspects block with eyes

    I wish my father was alive to see this documentary. He was a Marine Engineer Diesel Mechanic he never worked on ships of this size he worked on prawn fishing trawlers. But he would of loved watching this as much as I did he would of told me a lot of what is going on behind the scenes R.I.P Dad but i have to say the amount of intelligence natural and artificial that has gone into its design then all the manual labor to build and maintain plus the special machinery to make it all happen mind blowing. Love documentaries showing how dar we have come as humans but how far engineering in all fields have come by means of people in the self quest to better things and ideas collaborating to make things like this happen.

    18:34 "The tolerances to be adhered to are so minute, that they can no longer be perceived with the naked eye." Cut to man visually inspecting it.

    A couple of things. 1. What is being referred to as crank case is actually an engine block. Crank case is part of the engine block 2. It was stated that these big engines do not require maintenance for 35 years. Well they require maintenance at every 4000 hours of operation and scope of maintenance keeps increasing with age.

    41:10 welding curved sections while the work piece is turning is a challenge for every welder. no .. it makes the job 100 times easier !!!
  • @Antipodean33
    I've always wondered how money is made out of shipping when you factor in all the man hours, the expertise and the materials to build such a thing. Then on top of that the running costs, fuel, wages etc etc. This clip has only confirmed in my mind how any money is made. It is truly amazing on a myriad of levels
  • @skater9653
    I love how they said won’t need servicing for 35 years then cuts back to clip of two of the power units being replaced
  • @andyharman3022
    I love this documentary.  I actually wish it was more detailed, and showed more of the machining and testing of the engine at the MTU factory.  I was amazed at the amount of special tools they use in the assembly of the engine.  Every task has it's own fixture, lifting device, and wrench.  Every lifting device perfectly balances the workpiece in the correct orientation for assembly.  It's the German mania for perfection that makes this possible.
  • @shaunoneill3727
    Nice video. The difference between European and American documentary without bullshit drama is refreshing
  • @rickyheath7607
    I want to give props to the team that had to painstakingly model that entire engine.
  • @SirPrizeMF
    You know you've got a quality, informative documentary when three minutes in, the word 'extreme' has been uttered 7 times already. And then there's the other superlatives of course.
  • @Lonely_Waffle
    I love these kind of documentaries that are straight up and not dramatized in any way
  • @gheumann
    As a hobbyist machinist, fan of engineering and motorhead - I LOVED this. What a monster motor! 75,000 hour life between rebuilds!!!!
  • @rwright3395
    Those Germans know how to build a motor for sure. Hats off to Those Guys !
  • @MM-fq9gi
    I spent 3 weeks training in the Friedrichshafen Germany MTU factory, it is amazing! I operated the 12,200 SHP MTU V20-8000 series engines, they are incredible power plants.

    "The tolerances to be adhered to are so minute that they can no longer be perceived to the naked eye" - Cut to guy using his naked eye to inspect the engine.
  • @DangarMarine
    Watching this puts my boat engine problems into perspective.
  • @MrLaTEchno
    ''man, I do love the Tech of it all'' Diesel-power is forever power .................. Thank You for sharing this beautiful ''gem'' of a Docu. You made a 57y. old guy smile knowing what a Diesel-motor can do when you turn that ''key'' - START - and put the ''BEAST'' to the test.
