super-heavy

A Starship Super Heavy booster pushes with roughly 74 meganewtons, a force equal to the weight of about 7,500 tonnes. Three Gorges Dam can generate 22,500 megawatts. The LHC stores 362 megajoules in a single proton beam. Each is a record, and none of them is measuring the same thing. This article sorts the contenders by thrust, power, stored energy, and mass moved, shows the arithmetic that links them, and corrects a few popular comparisons that do not survive the numbers.
