Very, very cool. 8) 8) 8)


Reminds me of the late Nevil Shute novel,
"Trustee from the Toolroom." The main
character in that story makes model engines
and writes about them for a magazine. It's
a good read if ya can still find a copy.

That fellow is a master craftsman. Very impressive.

In non-technical english... WOW!

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Unbelieveable talent, but I've got a couple of questions. No spark plugs, glow plugs or type of fuel injection short of the intake manifold. What's it run on?

I believe compressed air.

So if it's running on compressed air, it is nothing more than a VERY fancy "Whirly Gig"...........A very nice piece of machining, but no distributor, valve timing, compression rings, oil pump, etc.........

Don't get me wrong, it's impressive, but there are much smaller air powered motors out there and there are comparable sized, fully operational, 4 cycle internal combustion engines.

I recently was made aware of a jet engine, formed from ceramics, that spins at a couple hundred thousand RPMs that is the size of a pencil eraser!

Personally, I don't consider a machine that runs on compressed air a fully functioning engine. As I said in my first post, it's impressive, but it's not an engine.
