Small is beautiful?


I've just had this link sent to me:-

http://www.wimp.com/tiniestengine/

It is a video of the construction, assembly and working of the World's smallest v12 engine. confuse

I haven't sussed if it's diesel or petrol - but it's interesting. wink

I reckon it's neither - compressed air?

Yeah compressed air. When I was in Canada I saw a RC model plane with a radial engine about that size and that was petrol and ran. Cool engineering whatever!

Yes, it would have to be compressed air, as the cams are running a 1:1 ratio with the crank, and of course there's no cooling system - or injectors, or ignition.

Very nice piece of work anyway.
