Very nice. But what ignites the fuel for combustion?

"All the V-12's workings can clearly be seen, from its pushrod-actuated tappets to the reciprocation of the connecting rods, thanks to a perspex window in the crank case. ... documenting Patelo's entire design and construction process. Assembling the V-12 is a fiddly tweezers and magnifying glass-assisted process and the attention to detail predictably stunning. With 1,220 hours of work into the engine though, we doubt Patelo is making many more tiny V-12s. "

thanks martin very cool

Does it actually run? I see no intake or exhaust or cooling mechanisms or spark plugs.

OK, if I’ve ever saw anything that deserves an OMG, this is it.

OMG. Some people just have way too much time on their hands.

OUTSTANDING piece of work, but let’s hope the President and the Democrats don’t get any ideas, if they see it.
