worlds smallest V-12

some of you gearheads might enjoy this...I couldn't help but watch it all. I've seen some similar builds posted here but don't think I saw this one.

This is exactly the kind of stuff I would do if I didn't have to make money.

I've seen this before. That is some amazing machining skill.

awe inspiring. 1,220 hours of fab and assembly time condensed into less than ten minutes of excellent filmwork.

When I FINALLY get ALL my bills, mortgage, etc, & have bought all the Toys I think I want, I sure would like to buy one of those 1/4 scale V-8s I've seen on there...I think they're like $4-5K...

Insanely great machinist, but it would be even cooler if it ran on fuel instead of air..

Having spent 35 years with now 5 full-sized V12s (with one new in the crate in the garage), I'm well acquainted with the complexity. That tiny thing is truly the most amazing bit of miniature engineering and fabrication I've ever seen.

I bet it would rather simple to run it on nitro methanol. Needs some glow plugs. Fuel delivery would be a bit of a trick. I bet that thing would be about 20hp running on that kind of fuel.

Yep, not quit a year ago in this thread: http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=408137&highlight=smallest+engine.

And yes, it's still cool :yes:.
