Caterpillar C32
The Caterpillar C32 is a V12 diesel engine made by Caterpillar Inc. The engine displacement is 32.1 liters (1959 cubic inches). The cylinder size is 5.71 x 6.38 bore/stroke. The C32 is the most power-dense high-speed diesel engine[note 1] of Caterpillar. The engine can produce 600–1,800 horsepower at 2,300 rpm. The peak torque occurs at an engine speed of 1500 RPM. The engine weighs over three tons at 6780 pounds. The C32 is often used in locomotives[2] and ships.[3]

Notes
- To see what speed range is considered high speed, see:High-speed diesel engine.
gollark: Anyway, yes, FPGA good (for certain tasks).
gollark: (Scala/Haskell/C(++) etc)
gollark: There are higher level synthesis tools which compile it from more strongly typed languages apparently.
gollark: Verilog is, however, pure insanity.
gollark: Ideatic idea: purchase FPGA, do insanity.
