HOLY $h!t . Over 5Million ft/lbs TORQUE!!! That would take like 10 years just to build let alone the tanker ship carrying whatever would take a tanker's entire cargo of oil to just fill it. Wanna talk about some pistons. That thing would never crack or bust!!!lol. But anyway that's truley amazing.

If its set up the same as heavy oil power stations you would have a "black start" gen set (say 200 kw). This provides power (240 volt or 110 volt ) for the control circuit and start circuits etc. Once the main engines are on line the black start unit can be shut down. You'd also have decompressors on the valves so the engine can be cranked with no compression and then the valves can be closed to give compression and fire.
