Worlds smallest v-12 engine

Im guessing the result of a retired machinist playing in his workshop

turning the crankshaft is what really blew my mind. getting the offsets perfect on the lathe for each section.. just baffled me completely. The cams as well.
 
That is amazing! I'm guessing it runs on model airplane fuel, thus the one hose going to the intake. No oil needed for the crankshaft, and I bet the cams were for show...I didn't see any valves, and a model airplane engine wouldn't use that anyway. Think of it as a 2 stroke diesel. But I think he'd go nuts trying to work with wood!!!!!:rofl: Jim.
 
I think it is certainly running on some kind of fuel, near the end some items are placed on the engine and are noted, I google translated the notations......

Tapa de Distribucion - Cover Distribution

Bombas de Refrigeracion - Cooling Pumps

Enfriador de Agua Dulce - Fresh Water Cooler

VERY cool indeed!
