That is very cool - but I have questions. Where can I find info on that in English?
Also, where are the spark plugs, or electrical wiring?
Second, they should put that in an RC something and make it useful and fun.

I'm pretty sure it's not "Firing/Running" it's just being rolled over i think. The little thumping exhaust note your hearing is just slightly compressed air from the stroke. There also is not any rings, oil pump etc.

Still rad as can be.

WOW, that is so dang amazing, I wish I was talented enough to make stuff like that. Great Find!

 

[gsalter]

WTF?? That's Amazing!!

 

[flatcurve]

seems like all the people building these model engines are older guys. That kind of craftsmanship is being lost

 

[DreadRock]

Very cool want one for my self !

 

[Kanticoy]

Amazing work on the engine, but this guy built a whole car. Talk about commitment and focus.

cool, but I don't know if it would ever run, I didn't see if there was an ignition system, but usually in things that small, normal combustion rules don't apply as well, which is why those little cox engines run on nitromethane, not diesel, or a special nitro diesel blend

I know that my 1/8th scale buggy doesn't need wires/ignition and the such. Once the glow plug is hot from the ignitor it stays hot, but I didn't see him make or install El Glow Plugos in his engine. They do make 1/5th scale 4 bangers for boats and helicopters now that look pretty sweet. I'd like to see some pull of a 1/5th scale honda twin, that would be sick!

 

[DreadRock]

Any way you look at it the man has mad skills to do something like that !

In how long its taken him to build that engine in the Ferrari, I still haven't completed my bike.

Seems the valve train was geared 1:1 !?

yeah, that's how a pneumatic engine would work, intake opens at tdc of the "intake stroke" and pressure pushes the piston down, it closes before bdc, "exhaust valve" opens at bdc, to let the spent air out. no need for a compression stroke because you're not burning anything
