Assemble this engine on your workbench!

And, if this video is not a fake, it must be a diesel -- I don't see any ignition wires.

Maybe it is running on compressed air. That makes it a motor and NOT an engine. I just dont see any fuel hookup and the white hose could very well be compressed air.

Wow! that is amazing.
Looks like the lathe work and machining was all by hand, not CNC. That guy has some awesome fabrication skills!

You could be right -- that's kind of a bummer. I have seen vids of some pretty small engines that that did run. None quite this small.

I do think that it's still pretty good fab as tec**** mentioned.
