@yachtieworld: Inside a 12,900 HP engine room 🤯⚓️ ⚡️ MYSTIQUE FAST FACTS: • Built: 2001 by Feadship (Originally named Detroit Eagle) • Total Power: 12,900 HP (7,300 HP from Diesels + 5,600 HP from Turbine) • Top Speed: 35 Knots (Roughly 40 mph / 65 km/h) • Turbine Speed: 18,500 RPM • Fuel Consumption: ~475 Gallons per hour at wide-open throttle ⛽️ Most superyachts use traditional diesel engines to cruise around. But the 153-foot Mystique is built different. She was originally custom-built for motorsport billionaire and racing legend Roger Penske, who gave the shipyard an “impossible brief”: create a luxury yacht that could cross the Atlantic, glide through shallow waters, and fly at 35 knots. To make it happen, he put a literal JET ENGINE right between her two massive diesels. Here’s how this crazy “hybrid” setup works: 👉 The Diesels: Two MTU 16V4000 M90 diesel engines engines handle 90% of the work. They spin standard propellers for quiet, efficient cruising. 👉 The Booster: A Vericor TF-50 gas turbine sits in the middle. When turned on, it spins at a mind-blowing 18,500 RPM to power a giant central waterjet. That massive gearbox you see? It translates that insane 18,500 RPM down so it doesn’t shred the water pump! The catch? When she’s flying at top speed (35 knots), this engine room burns 475 GALLONS of fuel every single hour. That’s roughly 8 gallons gone every single minute! 💸 Would you want a jet-powered superyacht? Drop your thoughts below! 👇 #superyacht #engineroom #jetengine #YachtieWorld #feadship

My question is, what does it take to keep an engine room so clean. After 500-1000 hours if it still looks like this what did that take?

Thee Observer :

Is the middle the generator?
