Ну нифига себе! 48-и цилиндровый мотоцикл!
Пишут, что он еще даже и ездить может!
48 cylinder motorcycle engine.
This is guaranteed not photoshopped.
It is a 48 cylinder, 4200cc engine made from s1/kh250 cylinders, by Simon
Whitlock.
"Each motor is basically 8 "s1 /KH250" cylinders bolted on to cut up standard
casings, with a 8 cyl built up crank, in turn they are bolted to a housing,
gear linked and driven thru a BMW road bike gearbox, as the bike is pretty
long already it would be difficult to put a transverse drive thru a gearbox.
It has taken almost three years of hard work and he has overcome some
huge problems to get here - - where do you even start to think about building
a bike like this? . . . Oh, by the way, Simon is not an engineer of any
kind - he oversees the building of shopping precincts etc
Don't look at it as a bike, look at it as a pure feat of engineering .
. . and Simon built a Nitrous injected, fuel injected, water cooled, supercharged
H1 about 5 years ago! . . . . How will he top this one? He can't - WHO
CAN? I think as you say, his next project may be reverting back to a small
engine and gaining the maximum horsepower from it "
"The bike has a small 75cc "Donkey" engine undr the seat to start it."
"The ignition is by 6 x 8cyl E-Type Jaguar distributers."
"Oh, and not only does it run - but it is rideable - JUST! - the engine
and box alone weight just over a ton! "
