    I do not recall this being posted previously. If it has, please inform me and I will delete. If you can appreciate superb craftsmanship then this is a must view video. Titled as the world's tiniest operating V-12 engine.

    That guy is incredible. I've always wanted a 12 or 16 engine just to work on and rebuild but I don't have the machines to build all the tiny parts like that. How cool would it be to have a running engine right there on your desk. My hats off to that guy!!!!!!!!!!

    It's cool and it took amazing skill to build it but I kept worrying about the lubrication system as it sat there running.

    I saw this a while back. It reminds me of the video of the guy who made a fully functioning mini Ferrari.

    It is very nice for a small model of an engine. Nice work no doubt, but in no way is it anything like a real engine.

    It does not run. It does not burn fuel and make exhaust like a real miniature engine, and has no ignition or lubrication system.

    It makes no power, no HP and no torque.

    It sits there and spins on supplied compressed air and as such is nothing more than a conversation piece.

    There are plenty of better examples of small "real" engines that burn fuel and really run.
     
  19. That's lotsa trabajo for de nada!
     
  20. true craftsmanship, love it. i would build a flathead, love how the exhaust makes noise and everything. really cool.

    If you are referring to the V12 , all you are hearing is the exhaust note as it pumps out the compressed air it runs on. Whoopie :rolleyes:
