Miniature W-32 Engine is Mind Blowing

An absolute thing of beauty! Thanks Rixter.

Poetry in motion.

A thing of beauty.

Oh boy oh boy, mount this on an Rc sub or ship that would be fantastic.

Did I miss seeing the spark plugs installed? Looks like it runs off compressed air. In any event, it is a beautiful piece of machining.

Since it appears to have intake valves and exhaust operating on cams, and intake air filters, is this not essentially a 32-cylinder diesel engine of Liilliputian dimensions?

It is finely crafted, a work of art, and a labor of love, not a beast of burden. Perhaps it is being fueled by RC plane engine fuel (which is after a form - diesel with a highly combustive nitrate fuel additive to increase self-ignition at top stroke.

It looks like an air line feeding it. Maybe with an oiler?

Anything that looks that good, shouldn't have to do any work.

Second thought, it does appear to be running on compressed air. Still a very attractive piece for a millionaire's office.

On third thought, the exact location of the air (vacuum?) line fitting is not revealed in the video. Another detail of note is that the fans appear to be for cosmetics as there is nothing behind them except housing.

Wonderful.

What would have toped it off is some pictures of it being made/machined.
