Was it actually running?It sounded like it but I didnt see any spark plugs or anything electrical at all.
Still,it was an amazing piece of machining that even a master watch smith would be proud of.
 
It looked to be set up on the diesel format of the old Alco locomotives that were very popular in the 60s and 70s not sure on the OILING figured they were using some type of synthetic that did not take much remarkable the time it took to make parts that small just wondered how many months he spent building it excellent video
 
12 cylinder engine

Its running on compressed air,
Still works exactly the same as a regular engine except that compressed air is what pushes the pistons down, and not combustion.
However it still an impressive bit of machine work.
 
Wow! being a mechanic I was interested, brilliant,
How about sending the video to Triumph maybe plant a Seed !! can you see it ?

2014 Triumph release the New Rocket 12 Cruiser, powered by tiheir 4300 cc V12 :D
 
Impressive piece of model engineering - but I'm puzzled, all three timing gears look the same size, how did it work with the camshafts running at crankshaft speed :confused:.
