Very cool. You suppose it works off model airplane fuel? I didn't see any method of lubricating the bottom end.

It's running off compressed air. Or at least how I read the description.

It is dual cam OHV at least! Getting closer to having the completely excessive mass of DOHC architecture!

When I saw it my first thought was "why go to all that trouble to build a scaled down version....build a full sized one that you can actually DRIVE!"

Craftsmanship! :up: Model making is becoming a lost art. Not talking about the injection molded glue together kits but building from scratch. In industry we used to have people building scaled down models of refineries and industrial plants. With computer modeling much of that skill has been rendered obsolete.

I have great admiration for those who can take a lump of steel and a lathe and make something out of it. (Besides a paperweight or door stop)

Ahorita te digo que si...si el video si esta en Spanish...hasta la proxima caballeros! I read it was a V-12 for a model boat, pretty amazing.
