The Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C turbocharged 14 cylinder two-stroke diesel engine is the

most powerful and most efficient prime-mover in the world today. The Aioi Works of

Japan's Diesel United, Ltd built the first engines.

At maximum economy the engine exceeds 50% thermal efficiency. Even at its most

efficient power setting, the big 14 consumes 1,660 gallons of heavy fuel oil per hour.

How do you mix 3000 lb concrete?

There is a type of truck called a cement mixer, which carries a large, rotating container in which cement or concrete can be mixed. That's what I would use, if I needed to mix 3000 pounds of concrete. Alternatively, to mix by hand, I would put it in a large container and stir it with a canoe paddle. But that would be very strenuous. Also, it is a lot easier to pour, if it has been mixed in a cement mixer. If you mix it in some other container, pouring it is going to be a major challenge.
