I expect to see them in Formula One one day, making 900 horsepower. LOL

Looks like it was just running on compressed air, I didn't see any fuel or ignition, not even glow plugs. The compressed air line was running down into the wood block.

Here's something along the same lines, flat 12 Ferrari

It makes the Ferrari music. That's pretty darn cool, alright. :thmbsp: It really sucks that he'd need to sell the 1st one, to build the next one. Surely some rich person can finance him, can't they?

Exactly, no internal combustion going on there.

OTOH, here is one of Ullman's earliest videos of a running internal combustion v-12 engine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mutb7KgA9NM

Then there's this fella's V-8: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=N8TXMUaC9Os
