Absolute work of art, you are truly a master craftsman. I've been building model engines for about 5 years now, you are an inspiration, I know I will never get to that level of excellence. Thank you for sharing.
My father is a diesel engineer and would always praise B&W engines.As a little boy I remembered how he would tell me about his experiences with these engines in ships.You are a genius to having built this engine with such precision and passion and fully functional.Thumbs up to you.Cheers from Guyana.
I have watched again and again and you are light years better than me---you have created art and beauty as well as craftmanship as well as using mechanical knowledge..
This is like a model ship in a way since these engines in real life were much larger and turning the wheels of industry producing power for machine tools and sewing shops as well as many other forms of manufacture including agriculture. That is a very impressive and artistic working model of an engine that drove industry at the turn of the century. Top notch craftsmanship and such detail in the mechanics. That right there is a testament to your machine skills. I remember seeing pictures of engines much like this one in a WWI era machine shop and even in miniature it looks like a nut for nut bolt for bolt copy except table top size.
Mr. Hansen' miniature engines are outstanding, he is obviously a highly skilled machinist and I suspect that he acquired those skills at Burmeister and Wayne.
Man that is BEAUTIFUL ! I could lower my blood-pressure just watching this vid. I would love to build such a thing, I have the skills, allas not the time, or patience. So I'll be content to adore yours!
This product admiration and respect for the author! I really enjoyed watching this movie. Moreover, this video shows how powerful the human mind. Thank you so much! Greetings from Russia!
@douro 20 Thank you for your comment. The engine could run on lamp oil or kerosene, but turpentine has a very god and clean combustion with very little smoke. I use 1% two stroke oil in the fuel to lubricate the fuel pump and the injector.
@andy26111 Yes you are right, and on my hot bulb engines I have a spring conected to flyball governor, to atjust the engine speed, the stronger spring, the more speed etc.
@tpvalley Thank you for your comment. The injection pump paremeters are made by many experiments, because you can not scale down the injection pump system from a " big " engine to a small engine. The only way to overfuel the engine is to use the injection pump handle, and with no engine load it will at first smoke a bit bit and at the same time speed up
are you a watch maker by any chance ? .. i'm jeweler and engraver also interested in mechanicks of old days . it cheer my heart to knoe that people like you exist ... you are genius !!
You sir are a man after my own heart--except a whole lot better--I am just starting model work as all my projects previously have been fairly large.. Tell me the fuel is it mineral turps or pine turps...Keep your models coming its so enjoyable..
Absolutely beautiful. Just one question.... why is it so quiet? I've played with a few miniature diesels before (model airplane engines) and they've always been extremely noisy. Admittedly they have reved a lot higher than yours and been air-cooled
Absolutely beautiful - what is with our love of small mechanical things? I'm half German/half French, so maybe I should build an tiny engine that runs on wine? But what a waste . . .
@valic000 Thank you for your fine comment. I never count the time it take to build an engine, but it takes a very long time, especially if it is a quit new model.
Wish to have him in my collection!...the sound allone is lovely! Moore than a beauty!! Do you know,how many houers it was to build it? (aprox) Thanks for share this masterpeace!

Very beautiful workmanship and machining. Well done sir!

Incredible! Fine, fine workmanship!
Absolutely stunning. As a home shop machinist I feel unworthy! Great work. I'm incredibly impressed by the valvetrain and the workmanship...
I've always liked these funny old engines. I think it's just the old world character that I like.Thanks for sharing this.
I have watched again and again and you are light years better than me---you have created art and beauty as well as craftmanship as well as using mechanical knowledge..
A remarkable engine by a remarkable man. Fantastic to see this sort of thing on the internet, for us all to enjoy. Well done Find!

I build big engines for a living . These little engines just amaze me , love the video .
This is marvellous. Even the governor works, which is particularly impressive as so many don't at this sort of scale.
I wish Dodge, Ford, and GM could get their diesel pickups to run with so little smoke!
Beautiful workmanship!!!!
Truly beautiful . I call that mechanical art , excellent work
Thank you for your fine comments.
install a 100litre tank and set it on... in 100years archeologists will find this engine still running !! amazing !!
why would archeologists find this in 100years? that's like 2 generations away
besides, it wouldn't last 100years, the fuel goes bad
Just have a maintenance guy mole looking after it lol
The oil supply will run out and the bearings will seize.
Beautiful
Hypnotic to watch and listen to. Like a musical instrument. Excellent creation.
Magnificent effort. Respect from Australia, friend.
This is art in my eyes, and it makes me thrilled to see such a fine engineered minature engine like this. I take my hat off for you, sir.
Man that is BEAUTIFUL ! I could lower my blood-pressure just watching this vid.
I would love to build such a thing, I have the skills, allas not the time, or patience.
So I'll be content to adore yours!
A truly beautiful model, both design and craftsmanship. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Nice work! As previous posters have commented, it is a thing of beauty and a work of art! Thanks for sharing that with us.
Beautiful! A work of art, a true masterpiece.
Your hands are made of gold, mr.Hansen!
I love seeing all the moving parts.
Wow, truly amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail. I would love to see video of you building one.
Truly a thing of beauty, I love this and thanks for posting the video so we can see it :)
The Engine is a credit to you! What I don't understand is why some people have to leave negative feedback. Cheers from John.
It's beautiful
Beautifully designed and constructed!
A beautiful little engine, some amazing intricate detail around the valvegear, well done!
Your engine is a work of art! Amazing.

What a pity what a pity.. You did not slow
Very nice work! Thank you for showing it.
very impressed, extremely well engineered , was a pleasure to watch and listen , thank you
That is an amazing work of art. Very precise yet simple. I want to build one and use it to power a pencil sharpener or a pepper grinder.
Amazing work. I support "aussieaermodeler", this is art! Best regards from a 1.engineer on a B/W 6S70MC.
everything you build is amazing.even the little oil can is like art.
I spent ten minutes of my life watching this marvelous thing tick away. Wonderful... just wonderful.

Tell me the fuel is it mineral turps or pine turps...Keep your models coming its so enjoyable..
Det var dog fantastisk, godt gået.
BRAVO ...big brain my friend realy big brain....it is a peace of art ....you should sell it my friend ...
Fascinating!
Magnifique !!!
awesome job!
Thats awesome man!
Very nice work! But next time please with a powerbreak like generator and ligth! POWER!
What a nice engine
Great job!
Nice!, Reminds me of stirling
Absolutely beautiful. Just one question.... why is it so quiet? I've played with a few miniature diesels before (model airplane engines) and they've always been extremely noisy. Admittedly they have reved a lot higher than yours and been air-cooled
Thank you for your fine comments
And thank you for such an erudite answer to my question
You ask about airplane engines model, maybe they're more noisy because they work with a propeller not?
I think its more that the engines I played with were two-strokes, air cooled and revved in the 12,000 rpm range and usually without a muffler
+Alan Carter Your miniature diesel probably has a greater compression ratio, so the exhaust gasses are coming out faster. This is just a guess...
Absolutely beautiful - what is with our love of small mechanical things? I'm half German/half French, so maybe I should build an tiny engine that runs on wine? But what a waste . . .
Thank you for your fine comments, I never count the houers when I build an engine.
