The engine, | ==Information== | ||
This device was a large machine built by [[Kamandol]] that ran on burning oil, an idea unheard of in [[Toran (region)|Toran]] at the time. The development of said engine was apparently very noisy, disturbing the residents of [[Teien]]. Kamandol stated that the engine, when attached to a boat, would allow it to traverse the [[Rapids of Dunan]], which it duly did. | |||
The engine, which was considered fragile, had to be carried from Teien to [[Rikon]] to be attached to the boat in question. Due to the weight of the machine and the difficulty in carrying it, this was not a popular task. | |||
The technology behind the engine was later applied to create a speedboat able to traverse the rapids blocking access to [[Kirov]]. | |||
