The V12 Engine

[DoogyRev]

Only a very tiny one. Have to admire the workmanship that has gone in to this

But still very impresive

seen that before but watched it again because its so cool.

 

shame it doesnt run proper fuel tho.

[ioneabee]

as I was watching it, I though there is no way this is going to run......its just a model !!

 

wow - what is fueling it ?

Nothing combustible

[Hennerz]

That is very cool

[rtbiscuit]

i'd say its running off nitro fuel same stuff you use in little single piston RC car engines

[sparky370z]

i think its just air. not nitro. he would have clouds of smoke comin out of it. trust me!!

[rtbiscuit]

i was trying to work out what was driving the fly wheel at the end, as there was no drive belt visible, and just the little white hose. but i suppose air could be right, as you say there is no cloud of smoke. but the exhaust is making a noise which is more than just being driven like earlier when it was on the drill.

 

either way a clever bit of tool work.

The fuel would have to be a petroil mix to lube everything. I thought it was amazing how the crankshaft was turned and honed - great skills working at that scale.

[wackosr]

Wow, that is amazying.

Would look great on my desk!!

(But pretty distracting)

This. They are just blowing compressed air through it
