Turning over a BIG engine
« on: July 07, 2026, 06:49:19 pm »
Found a video where they are spinning what looks like a BIG Corliss.
This engine is almost as big as the model being built in the E.P. Allis 3000hp Quadruple Expansion Corliss Engine build thread.

Without pushing the boundaries, one never knows what can be achieved.

It will be amazing to see  it when its all back together,  in the video they sre 'just' spinning the flywheel.

What a monster and what an achievement. You only appreciate the size of it when you see it without the building around it and when they start to reconstruct it ....... amazing! :popcorn: :ThumbsUp:
Best regards
