Looks like it's being powered with air pressure.
Very impressive design and machining skills but if you're in it this deep shouldn't the SoB run on gas?

That's what I thought at first, but then, why? It is a machining excercise. :clap:

I guess the builder gets to choose what he does with the model, but YouTube has plenty of videos of mineature engines that do run on their own. The neat thing about the one in olde coney's link is all the detailed shots of the machining. Here's one that runs, from YouTube:

One of my bucket list projects, an AR 80, with a V 12 2 stroke (RC cylinders), 12 tiny chambers at 20,000rpm......... OH YEA!
