1220 hours of work, it says. No kidding. That was amazing!

awesome... that overused word is the only one I can think of for that

Freakin' amazing. I'm going to guess, due to the lack of an ignition system, that it's either a glow plug or diesel. No matter, it's a work of art.

couldbe compressed air for all we know. I see no place for glowplugs.. and the the noise is all wrong

Yeah.. It looks like the coolest compressed air engine ever!

For internal combustion... and way more.. Just deal with a very small increase in scale.. and look here..

That's still ridiculous, compressed air or no.

madmachine, you are right. I didn't consider compressed air. But still... that thing is fantastic. I've seen that Ferrari model vid before and it still boggles the mind.

I could loop the crankshaft turning, grinding and polishing portion of the video for hours and hours...and hours...and hours...
