gas mileage was like 1600lbs of fuel every hour

I tried finding a pic of the turbo for it (it says turbo charged) my question is, how do you spool a turbo at 102 rpm? It's so big they can't spin it much faster than that.

Actually I had found an audio clip of them firing up an engine just like that. Doesn't make all that much noise.

the engine has such high amounts of volumetric space in the combustion chamber that its able to push turbos that are a little smaller than the engine itself; even at such a low engine revolution it is still pushing tremendous force against the turbo which in turn makes more and more power, which a giant freight ship will harness this power to haul its gianormous assload of weight thru our worlds oceans.

it is a quiet engine, I saw discovery channel do a special on this and they had a video shot of the crew in the crank case as it was running...very cool to watch!
