wish I had even a small amount of that guy's machine skills, wow!

ddweave · 11-29-2011, 08:52 PM

Very cool!

One thing, though. I didn't see any ignition system.

34Fordtk · 11-29-2011, 08:55 PM

Amazing!! BUT it was a little of a let down when I saw it ran on compressed air.......

ken ct · 11-29-2011, 08:56 PM

jojofilo88 · 11-29-2011, 10:18 PM

that was so cool! a friend of mine emailed it to me a few days ago as well

Terry, NJ · 11-30-2011, 10:09 AM

Very Good, However no ignition or lubrication system. I looks like an old WW1 Liberty eng, I didn't notice how he indexed the Crank and I would have liked to see how he ground the cam. Great Video!

That is a very interesting video.

Here is another that will blow you away: http://modelenginenews.org/gallery/c...gle/index.html

If you guys like that check this out. There's a whole museum for, cool, small engines.http://www.engine-museum.com/index.php

msmaron · 11-30-2011, 01:50 PM

Beyond amazing!

Doug in NJ · 11-30-2011, 11:40 PM

Look at the cam gears: the camshafts turn at the same sped as the crankshaft. So it is actually a compressed-air engine, or could also be an air compressor.

I always liked those little Cox .049 model airplane engines. Only three moving parts! (I guess four, if you count the reed.)

Gentlemen, check out ebay item 170736356808 for a functioning scaled-down Model A engine... a nice paper weight for your desk.
