That's pretty damn cool! Those micro macining steps were interesting to watch. It would be so easy to screw that up.

  That's incredible, 1220 hours of work.  That's like 100 12-hour days, or a year of spare time.  I would love to have a fraction of his talent in engineering and machining.

With all the rest of the detail and time I am surprised he didnt try and make it actually on fuel.

What was it running on?  It looked like it had fuel lines to me.  Huh

Looks like its running on compressed air to me.  The intake to the heads looks like those long tubes that then connect at the ends to the air cleaner thing which I suspect has a solid top and the compressed air is coming threw that line.  I didnt see any ignition system or injectors.  Its a 4 stroke so that rules out being a 2 stroke diesel that could work without injectors.  I guess there could be some sort of basic injection thing going on with that cam thing.  Anyone translate the captions?  Thinking about it now I dont see what that cam thing does.  Is it based on a real engine?  Maybe that cam thing was part of the real thing and in this case does not do anything.
