SilvrT Posted November 22, 2011 #1 Posted November 22, 2011 If that V4 ain't enuf for you, this V12 will surely fit .... http://www.wimp.com/tiniestengine/
jakester Posted November 22, 2011 #2 Posted November 22, 2011 I thought that was the new HD v12 rod engine? No cooling jacket, oilpump, or ignition? Underpowered but pretty cool looking. Maybe I am wrong cause the words made no sence to me ---just looked kinda forin? Bill
Yamamike Posted November 22, 2011 #3 Posted November 22, 2011 A few guys (like Jef) who build R/C planes will proly drool over that one!! I sure would!
Trader Posted November 22, 2011 #6 Posted November 22, 2011 Now that is craftsmanship! 1220 hrs of work
Sling Posted November 22, 2011 #7 Posted November 22, 2011 A few guys (like Jef) who build R/C planes will proly drool over that one!! I sure would! Actually I think he would prefer using one of the engines at this site http://www.agelessengines.com/ go down to the engine videos
ACE50 Posted November 22, 2011 #8 Posted November 22, 2011 No cooling jacket, oilpump, or ignition? Bill I think he is using the line in as a power source just to drive the engine. I don't think it's running on it's own. He never installed alot of things as in a normal engine. All pretty cool though!
viragofan Posted November 23, 2011 #9 Posted November 23, 2011 Being trained as a machinist this is just insane and I love it. I could watch the video a hundred times and marvel at it each and everytime.
Condor Posted November 23, 2011 #10 Posted November 23, 2011 Loved the whole video, but making that crank shaft was special..... Plus I thought slotted screws had been outlawed....
Rick Butler Posted November 23, 2011 #11 Posted November 23, 2011 This is pretty wild for old time machining, but did I miss the spark plugs? If that V4 ain't enuf for you, this V12 will surely fit .... http://www.wimp.com/tiniestengine/
MiCarl Posted November 23, 2011 #12 Posted November 23, 2011 I think he is using the line in as a power source just to drive the engine. I don't think it's running on it's own. He never installed alot of things as in a normal engine. All pretty cool though! Something about the camshaft gears didn't look right. You made me go back and look. The cams turn at the same speed as the crankshaft, not at half speed like an internal combustion engine. It's essentially a steam engine, but I bet he's running it with compressed air.
Cougar Posted November 23, 2011 #13 Posted November 23, 2011 http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXZVB2&P=0 Now were talk'in:big-grin-emoticon: http://www.osengines.com/engines/osmg1307-inset-1b.jpg http://www.osengines.com/engines/osmg1307-inset-3b.jpg
Semi-retired Posted November 23, 2011 #14 Posted November 23, 2011 This is pretty wild for old time machining, but did I miss the spark plugs? Yes you did (as did the builder).......and valves.......and piston rings. Cute little project, but definitely more of a Meccano set or miniature Lego than a 'working model'. Even if we could "assume" that he put in all those 'missing' items when we weren't looking...the shot at the end, with it running....'er, turning, was the dead give-away: she'd a been screamin like a little banshee if it were really "combusting". Yeah, whoever said it......big BOO on those slotted screws. (That was actually the first clue about non-authenticity!) Mike
Brake Pad Posted November 23, 2011 #15 Posted November 23, 2011 So, this what retiree's have to look forward to when they sign up to work in Santa's workshop. Screw that!!!!!!, I'll work at Mc Donalds:doh:
Mike G in SC Posted November 23, 2011 #16 Posted November 23, 2011 Talk about patience! 1200+ hours. I guess the music covered up all the cuss words.
SilvrT Posted November 23, 2011 Author #17 Posted November 23, 2011 Here's a couple more interesting ones... http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2008/10...or-rcs-in.html http://cellar.org/showthread.php?t=11609

It's essentially a steam engine, but I bet he's running it with compressed air. 2 strokes turn 1 to 1. 4 strokes turn 2 to 1.
flb_78 Posted November 24, 2011 #20 Posted November 24, 2011 Found a blog on it. It "runs" on compressed air so it's not really and engine, but instead a motor. http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/world-s-smallest-v12-engine-actually-runs
Ozlander Posted November 24, 2011 #21 Posted November 24, 2011 Found a blog on it. It "runs" on compressed air so it's not really and engine, but instead a motor. So, does it use motor oil instead of engine oil?????
Gary N. Posted November 24, 2011 #22 Posted November 24, 2011 This is pretty wild for old time machining, but did I miss the spark plugs? Maybe it's a diesel???
