Tiniest V-12 Diesel Engine

[Trevor2118]

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 a year and a half (some1220 hours) to make the 261 pieces.

Note the end-loaded crankshaft into the block (like an Offy),

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!

I wish I had half this guy's talent!!

Pretty cool, very similar design to a White Superior engine. Other than its gear driven and not chain and sprocket .

Yeah, I came across this last year. I still can't believe how awesome it is

I too remember seeing this a while back, but I was recently looking for it to share with a friend. Thanks for sharing this, Trevor, very much appreciated. It's such a cool endeavour.
