wow, that is incredible. no spark plugs... do you think it uses heat of compression to ignite the fuel, like a diesel engine?

also, i didnt see any oil in the sump through those little windows in the block, i wonder if it has to be manually lubricated. id imagine it isnt meant to run for hours on end.

amazing video, but...
did anyone else think the music choices were a little strange? :lol:

That's pretty incredible. There's a V12 with very low fuel consumption! And, it probably produces more horsepower than a PRV!

Kidding :)

But wow, that takes some serious skill and some very steady hands. Cool video!

That one is probably run off of air pressure, most scale model engines are due to the complexity of getting the fuel/air mixture right in scale parts. If that one amazed you, this will rock your world
