What's your favourite engine that can't be found in a car?

I was recently talking to one of our freelancers about 1000bhp wood-chippers (as you do), and it got me wondering about other non-car things that have big-power engines.

I was recently talking to one of our freelancers about 1000bhp wood-chippers (as you do), and it got me wondering about other non-car things that have big-power engines. Then Brittany Ferries released a (frankly bizarre) press release boasting about how its ferries have four 12-cylinder engines making 65,000bhp, and I felt like I wanted to know more.

So, what are your suggestions for cool, big engines found outside the car world?
