This German creation, another in the Werner (German cartoon Biker) series, uses 24 chainsaw engines to power it. "For use in the Dolmette the engines were tuned and tweaked to deliver 5.2 kW of power (7.1 PS) at 10,000 rpm. Maximum torque delivery is 5.5 Nm at 7,750 rpm. When all 24 are combined, the result is a 24-cylinder power plant with a total displacement of 1.9 litres, a power output of 125 kW (170 PS) and 130 Nm of torque at the centrifugal clutches" More info here: http://www.dolmette.com/ 1313 |

I'll bet starting that thing on a cold morning is time-consuming! |

Bomber, I'd love to hear it. Since you apparently have enough fingers left to run a lathe and a mill, I will assume in the meantime that you at least fought to a draw... rt |

I used to use a chain saw on stage with my band. One night I cut up my guitar amp pretty good, it was fun! |

actually, I won! the chainsaw didn't survive the 50-foot drop (or, more accurately, the swift decelleration at the end of the 50 foot drop) still, the scar on my forhead now looks like laugh lines (of which you know little, I understand!) it was a looonnnngggg trip to ground level, though ;-} |
