    This is a really neat video of a 70 year old man building a V12 compressed air motor. The workmanship in this is incredible!

    Sorry if its a bit o/t, but this is impressive non the less.

    if this is off topic, i'll just leave then. if whoever said this can't see the significant connection or appreciate this super talent, the hamb has no need to exist.

    Mad skills no doubt! Looked very much like an Allison V12.

    We have a local guy that does something similar except with scale radial gas engines, and they run. I'll have to dig up a link.

    Holy cow that was neat! I wonder if he worked from some kind of blueprint, or just free styled it?
