Oh dear god it's huge! What's that from, a boat or something?

EDIT: Just found it - http://www.bath.ac.uk/~ccsshb/12cyl/

The cylinder bore is just under 38" and the stroke is just over 98". Each cylinder displaces 111,143 cubic inches (1820 liters) and produces 7780 horsepower. Total displacement comes out to 1,556,002 cubic inches (25,480 liters) for the fourteen cylinder version.
Some facts on the 14 cylinder version:
Total engine weight: 2300 tons (The crankshaft alone weighs 300 tons.)
Length: 89 feet
Height: 44 feet
Maximum power: 108,920 hp (81,221kW) at 102 rpm
Maximum torque: 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm

(edit)That's the website, yes. Now I'm sure it's a ship. How did you find that so fast? (edit)- I found it Google ship crankshaft, Japan.
