Built by Wärtsilä in Finland, the RTA96-C is a two-stroke turbocharged diesel engine designed to power the world’s largest container ships, such as the Emma Maersk. This engineering marvel stands over four stories high, measures 89 feet in length, and weighs more than 2,300 tons — heavier than a fully loaded Boeing 747.

Each of its 14 cylinders displaces 1,820 liters — that’s more than a typical car engine’s total displacement multiplied by 100. It consumes about 1,660 gallons of fuel per hour, but thanks to its slow-speed efficiency, it can move enormous vessels carrying over 20,000 shipping containers across oceans.

The engine produces 107,390 horsepower and 5.6 million Newton-meters of torque, allowing these colossal ships to travel at steady speeds for weeks. Despite its immense power, it’s built for efficiency — using heavy fuel oil and operating at low RPMs to maximize fuel economy and reduce emissions.

The RTA96-C remains a symbol of extreme mechanical engineering — a masterpiece of precision that keeps global trade moving. Its reliability and scale demonstrate how industrial innovation fuels the backbone of modern logistics.

She doesn’t smile in this photograph, and she doesn’t need to. The woman known as Big Nose Kate—born Mary Katherine Haroney—had already outlived most of the legends around her by 1880. You can almost feel the desert wind in her hair and the pistol’s weight beneath her skirts. A Hungarian aristocrat turned outlaw nurse, she was no sidekick or saloon girl. She was Doc Holliday’s equal, his lover, and sometimes his savior—sharp-tongued, unflinching, and unpredictable as a six-shooter at midnight.
That same year in Tombstone, while others were busy becoming myths, Kate was writing her own. When Doc was locked up and left to hang, she didn’t cry—she lit a fire. Literally. She set a blaze as a distraction, grabbed a shotgun, and bluffed lawmen into releasing him. It wasn’t just love—it was war. Their romance was volcanic, riddled with arguments, whiskey, and whispered threats. But no one ever dared question her loyalty. She walked through smoke and blood to bring Doc back from the edge more than once.
What became of her after the gunfights faded and the legends took root? She lived long enough to watch men turn into stories and lies become history. But she held tight to one truth: “I was Doc Holliday’s woman.” And in this photo—posture unbending, gaze full of unspoken fire—you don’t just see her. You feel her. A woman carved out of grit and rumor, who never blinked when the bullets started flying.

Designed in Belarus, the BelAZ 75710 isn't just massive—it redefines industrial scale. Powered by two 65-liter diesel engines and equipped with eight massive tires, each nearly 4 meters tall, it operates using an electric transmission system that helps distribute its enormous load. The truck is primarily used in iron ore and coal mines where efficiency and sheer volume are everything.

To put its size in perspective, the 450-ton payload is equivalent to carrying seven fully loaded Airbus A320s. Its turning radius is about 20 meters—larger than some streets—and it consumes up to 1,300 liters of fuel per 100 km. But in mining operations where time is money, the BelAZ 75710’s ability to cut trips in half makes every drop worth it.
