    Could be diesel. Small model aircraft engines can be diesel. No injectors, just a fuel- air vapor and compression. As a tool maker I really appreciate the fine intricate machining that was shown. Certainly would be either a watch maker or should be one. Have in the past machined small parts, but not to make some thing as intricate as a motor. That is one of the reasons I were glasses now.

    I watched the vid the first time this was posted. The camshafts seem to be geared to crankshaft speed, so are probably set for air motor timing.

    With combustion happening it would promptly self destruct as no provision has been made for cooling. And all oiling seemed to be by oil can too. How would you cross drill a crank that small?

    Thats what it looked like to me. No ignition system, no rings just a groove in the piston and the big tell tale, not enough noise and no exhaust.

    That said, it is brilliant. A lot of work involved but, not to impune this work, it looks like he has some pretty impressive milling and cutting machines. The lathe looks computer controlled so just need to programme the CAD drawing in and the lathe does all the work. Still impressive.

    Now all he needs is a miniature V12 Jaguar to fit it into.
