Tiny V12 engine.
Not a Conspiracy or anything just thought I would share with the GLP'ers. the craftsmanship is absolutely amazing. I wish they would sell them as a kit or something.

a few other sites out there with some other engine types like the v6, and a v8, just as amazing.

Re: Tiny V12 engine.
Oh no problem, I was totally fascinated by this. All the work that went into it.

Like i said would be awesome if they sold these things. but from all the investigating i did, they are all hand crafted and one of a kind, I am sure if they did sell them. they would cost A LOT lol

Holy crap, how do you even balance something like that.

Looks to be running maybe alcohol as fuel?

from what i read on some forums, there was a debate as to weather it was alcohol or compressed air. not much of a gearhead myself so can't answer that with any accuracy.

Why aren't Chinese suicide factory slaves making these? materials can't be but a few dollars. Add 2000 chinese slaves hours and the cost should be about 25 dollars. Which is a ripoff considering that they sell Chinese suicide factory slave organs for high dollars after the Chinese suicide factory slave commits suicide.

Not necessarily. Many tiny engines use a nitro-meth glow plug system. Since this is a demonstration engine you could leave out things like a throttle using a fixed port size for air intake combined with carefully metered fuel instead.

Probably diesel, ignition by compression.

On an unrelated note, you could never run that engine very long unless you manualy oil the valves. I didn't see any oiling mechanism for them and I'm not even sure there is any in the crank case to lube the pistons.

No, aside from the small amount of oil he used when installing the pieces i didn't see anything else that would assist in lubricating it.

I'm still sticking with nitro-meth glow plugs. The exhaust is invisible. Nitro-meth flames when burning are also invisible. It's also a very common RC fuel here in the states anyway.

Your right about the lubrication, but I still say it's just a demonstration engine.

And a very well done one at that.
