hey,
perhaps this is off topic, but ive never understood why huge machines such as submarines and trains use diesel engines to turn generators to charge batteries to power motors?

Off topic ;-)

also, what is the most high powered tesla coil (biggest) of all time?

Bill Wysock's Model 13.

it was tesla's right? if thats the case whats the biggest one of modern times?

Bill's coil does 125kW and just under 60 foot arcs.
Tesla's was around 40kW at about 30 feet.
The Electrum is up there too:
