This is pretty incredible, I'm an old fashoined toolmaker now working in a fast paced cnc company, but this turns the clock back to real engineering.
THIS IS A MUST WATCH
----- Original Tiniest V-12 Diesel Engine
YOU HAVE GOT TO WATCH THIS CLIP, IT’S AMAZING VIDEO OF TRUE
CRAFTSMANSHIP.
AN OPERATIONAL V-12 DIESEL ENGINE THAT FITS IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND.
This is not CNC technology; this guy made everything at home on his lathe and drill press.
Took 1220 hours (a year and a half?) to make the 261 pieces.
12 individual cylinder heads, TINY rods and pistons, dual "underhead" cams with pushrods to rockers in the heads.
And, he did break-in runs using an electric drill driving the crankshaft!
Even if you're not an engineer, you'll love this!
