Just Say N2O,
You'd need a 725" pitch prop, assuming no gearing.

On either TLC or Discovery not to long ago, there was a show about HYUNDAI, it's founder and this engine. It is used most commonly I believe in large ocean crossing ships. Great show if you get the chance to see it.

I've seen a few big recips in natural gas compressor stations...not quite that big but bigger than a locamotive .....kinda scary to ...pumping natural gas @ 900psi ..and when they do backfire , you crap your pants...
