When I was younger I worked after I left the military, I worked as a mechanic, and i rebuilt my share of engines, but could not imagine making a miniature working V-12 engine by hand in my wildest dreams.

What the man does in this video, is similar to those Cubans who build boats out of "57" Chevy's to get to America. No amount of tyranny will ever stop the human spirit from accomplishing what it desires.

This is why Obama and the rest of the totalitarian minded thugs will lose in the end, regardless the country they rule.

Incredibly Cool video of a working miniature V-12 engine being made by hand.

This is the V-12 that will be in new cars. Just think of the mileage!

There are two things which have always struck me as literally beyond belief. One is the workings of an old Swiss, or any other country for that matter, watch.

The other is a crankshaft. Those things just have to be incredibly complex to manufacture, yet they have been making them for a very long time.

3/4 CID or, if you prefer, about .1 liters. Nice.

This guy makes building an engine look easy. This is a fun project.

That is a work of art, but is not a true engine. It's only a compressed air driven model. It doesn't burn fuel and run by itself.

This one does.

I just moved and bought all new furniture, a few pieces which required assembly.

I am sadly the sort of person who looks at an open box with 4 large parts, 3 screws and 2 bolts (and 2 illustrated pages of instructions in bad English) and says “I’ll never get this put together.”

Kinda the polar, stellar, and universal opposite of this guy ;)

I collect miniatures, and I would just love to have that engine. A car around it would make it just perfect.

Thanks so much for sharing that cool video. It's amazing.

I agree with you. We are indomitable and we will win.

Cuba has the oppression but not the benefits of this obastard tyranny. So long as obastard and his ilk don’t run out of our money to give to the swine that support him the oppression of the working class will continue until we respond is a violent clash and some winner emerges.

The only people who will run from the S... Hole the United States has become are the people who deserve to stay and be liberated from theft by the taking entitlement class aided and given succor by the ruling class of thug thief and crook politicians. That group seems to include just about all politicians.

Where do you run to? Reagan said this is the last hope of the world. Well, that hope is fading fast.

That is very cool. What is it about your threads that brings out all the stupid comments though?
