This guy has far too much time & talent
 

I've seen micro engines made by hobbyist before, but it's pretty cool to see one built from ground up. I can't imagine how long this must of taken him to design and build.

edit..

just found another one the same guy built..

Wow that's amazing. Someone should take the design aspect out of it and put together a kit people can buy and build themselves. But I'm not sure if you could mass produce such small parts with all the fine detail involved?

interesting videos... looks like he makes all the parts manually instead of computerized.

Fucking awesome!

A little off topic but have you seen those tiny guns? I'm gonna buy one.

i am going to guess 1220 hours

amazing!

that's amazing!

amazing what human beings can do.

i once made an ashtray at day camp and a bowl in wood shop in junior high.

anyone notice there were no spark plugs in the build?

I thought this thread was about Paul Markham ...

he is real pro! nice!

[QUOTE=Jakez;18589494]small parts...[/qoute]

i like small parts...

Yea I was thinking that as well, wondering what he used. The only thing I could think of, is maybe he went with some sort of glow plug set up like they use with RC airplanes.

My truck doesn't have spark plugs.

.

would love to know how much power he gets out of those

Nifty shit

Mad skillzzzzzzzzz!

Or it's all pneumatic and the big mother tube leading to the air filter is actually what is driving it.

Diesel doesn't use a spark to create combustion........

Pretty sure it is as rowan said - pneumatic as it makes stuff all noise like a petrol powered engine would.

Yea probably the most likely bet as an engine is nothing more than a big air compressor.

I was waiting for his dog to start up a car a drive off :thumbsup

Now that would be amazing :2 cents:

I was wondering if maybe it was a diesel...

Rather elite indeed.

That just amazing. Beautiful work.

Wow, all I can say.

Big Money
 

These could be worth big money.
Just about every ship built gets a professional model built. They average about 10 feet long and highly detailed. Saw an article in Forbes years ago, had a US Navy Captain describe the one for the new ship he was to command. Saw one one in a law office. These go for $100,000 to $1,000,000 and there is a specialty collectible market.

Creative guy. Good for him as long as he enjoys it.
