Not bad, must run on kerosene, acts like diesel.

I'll be impressed when the cylinders are integral with the block, 4V DHC EFI and electronic ignition.

Put a blower on it too and put it in a scale car while your at it. Or even better a monster truck.

Then it's not really an engine, just a model. It doesn't directly convert fuel into power.

Not discounting his efforts or craftsmanship which is impressive but there is a difference.

I agree entirely! I was pretty disappointed myself to see it "runs" on compressed air.

Go googling around, there are some YouTube videos of small V8 engines. Not as small as this V12 thing but they appear to be actual engines producing actual exhaust gases.

About the tenth time I drop one of them tiny screws, that engine would be worth a few pennies in scrap to me...

That is impressive though!

All that work and he couldn't jack some glow plugs from a nitro r/c and make it run on fuel?. Granted I'm not talented enough to pull off what he did and its still amazing but come on man go all the way with it
