A few years ago when I was in school down south, they had an aviation 
program, and outside the building, they had a big radial engine out of a 
very big, old airplane.  It was mounted to a test stand, with a prop, and 
when started, made a great noise, and alot of wind.  It had a variable 
pitch prop, so they could set it to not move any air at all, or they 
could adjust it to move alot of air.
	It always stands me in awe to see thousands of HP instead of the 
usual 100s that we deal with in the automotive industry.
