+niptodstan You're right, I do engineering as a hobby and make my own studio gear and composer music. What pisses me off about this video is the bought-in music over the top. It would be nice if someone in Italy (where this guy is from?) tracked him down and made a newer video in HD with proper sound and no annoying music.
A different version of this same video says "smallest working v12 diesel engine". The machining is amazing, but a working diesel it isn't. with all the machining to make this air engine, couldn't a little more have been done to make it an internal combustion engine?
x don't give up just built a better motor using the knowledge you have from the previous motors that work well I have faith in Dodge Chrysler Jeep products
Dreamed of doing this from scratch when fresh out of school for machine shop. Life gets in the way and dreams fall away. Glad to see someone doing it. Hats off.
I see that as of today (7/27/16) 884 people gave this video a "thumbs down." For the life of me I cannot see how something this amazing would be rated as such. In my opinion, the film was a little blurry, but the information, skills, and product was something that you can only say, BRAVO!
Jealousy!!That's why they thumbed down as these folks would much rather watch American Football, Basketball or WWW that to even come close to ever sitting their asses down and try to create something out of nothing?However..yes the dude is indeed a genius too!!Ha!
There are other similar videos of engines that run on fuel ("world's smallest running V-8" and such). I think a lot of people were disappointed after watching nine minutes of amazing construction to realize it runs only on compressed air.
As an old tool and die guy I have to say this is some of the most elegant engineering and fabrication I have ever seen. Now if he could build a transmission to mate up to it...
That is one of the best miniature engine's I have ever seen from scratch to finish, god knows how many hours he put into it,it must have been a labour of love.
Mahfuz Ahmed Dual cams have 2 cams, one for the intake valves and another one for the exhaust valves. What you mentioned above is a single overhead cam.
For the people who can't appreciate this master piece just because it isn't a fuel burner , you've totally missed the point of the talent and skill it takes to work ( and create) on this scale. It's like looking at a Rembrandt and saying it's no big beal because it's really only two dimensional.
+sandyt4343 Engines produce power. this is a v12 model. an amazing model, but that doesn't make it an engine. I doubt people don't appreciate the crafting skills, they (I included) just expected an engine because of the misleading title.
+mehashi admittedly I expected it to be an engine two from the standpoint of internally driven, however as the video progressed it seemed unlikely that that would be possible or realistic given fuel delivery and ignition problems. I understand your point that it was slightly miss title, I guess I'm just sometimes blown away by the vitriolic responses that you see on RUclips because people are anonymous. That certainly does not include your comment which I respect
+sandyt4343 And you too my friend, I see where you were coming from too. I managed to find a nice video of a miniature running v8 that satisfied my tickle :) All the best!
Religion is important in my opinion for the reason that it leads people to spirituality and spirituality is important in achieving tier 3 or higher. It also weeds out those that can and cannot think for themselves and who is stuck in the rut of religion. Red Winter I do agree in every other sense of what you said though
Nobody said you need to believe in religion to be spiritual, I said I feel in my opinion it is a stepping stone for many. They are made to feel like they are peons in the face of *insert god of choice here* but those that are ready will question that and a new path is revealed. Without religion many people would be ass holes and have no reason to live lol so in some ways its one of those things that should just be left alone as no matter what you do it is bigger than you and me so if we want it gone it takes the world to get rid of it and religious freedom is what makes this world great. I support freedom of choice, and that means I support freedom of belief. Just like I support your decision to want to abolish religion as it is your opinion, your free to make that choice. (religious freedom is not available in all areas, contents of package may have shifted during transit)
I can some up your entire comment in a few short words, freedom of belief is not your decision to make. If you don't like the way the world works you know you have the freedom to try and change that. Now ask yourself what version of humanity do you want to "evolve" yours or the one that truly exists? no offense but you kind of remind me of Hitler and how he felt about the jews lol
No you remind me of Hitler because you said "Freedom of religion is insidious". I want freedom for everyone also but I will not sacrifice someones freedom of belief to do it as that isn't truly freedom. Take a look at yourself before you even try to tie me into your species because I am all accepting and you appear to hate religion. Hate is like rust.
Calling it an engine is not misleading. As a steam engine is still an engine whether it is stationary or locomotive. The steam source (stored energy) for such an engine does not have to be be produced directly on the engine itself. Compressed air engines are still engines.
***** Ah, I see. But I also saw a video where someone took 12 R/C car gas engines and made a special block and crank, etc. and put them together and the thing runs nicely. The footage was from an R/C plane meeting and I think the person might be planning on putting it into a fairly large scale R/C plane. I gotta look through my history and find that video and see if the person has actually done it yet. That would be cool to see a fairly large scale R/C P-51 or Spitfire with that 12 cylinder engine in it.
Whoa there guys. Settle down. Nothing to start a flame war over. I watched the whole video closely, and I think Moshing Bird is right. If you look closely, the intake tube is not connected to anything, and, roughly translated, it has a distributer, and that tank holds what he calls "agua de dulce." Or sweet water. Or candy water. Obviously a pseudonym for fuel. Watch the whole thing closely and try to follow the translations. Again, the intake tube is not connected to anything, it's just dangling on the table, and again it has the distributer and fuel tank.
***** I watched and listened to it yet again, and it even said "enfriardor de agua dulce." Enfriador translates to refrigerator. I think he came up with some diesel concoction that needs to be cold, then when it leaves the tank it starts an exothermic reaction and combined with high compression, goes off. There is some definite internal combustion going on there. Listen towards the end. It sounds almost like the firing pattern of a V-Twin. And I think you're mistaking that hissing noise which is almost definitely coming from the rocker arms for air. There was a definite couple of moments where the mic caught some internal combustion sound. Again, like a V-Twin chu-chunk-chu-chunk-chu-chunk-chu-chunk. I think he made a super volatile diesel mix and used high compression so once the flywheel is turned it just keeps going until that switch on the side cuts off the air supply. I'm not trying to start a fight here. This is like joint investigation stuff. Have another look and listen.
***** I'll ignore the smoking thing, but I still don't know. Didn't you hear that v-twin sound for a few seconds? Whatever, I've already invested enough time on this one. I'll just put this one in the "really doesn't matter" file. I tried to help ya Moshing Bird, but no one's gonna budge. Next video.
***** Maybe you're right. You win actually. I think if it were really running on fuel it would sound all buzzy like an R/C gas motor. Ok you won! No need for further replies. Just do a celebratory fist pump. :)
Mr. Wilder is not only an unbelievably talented artisan for his machining and creation of the parts, but he must be an exceptional engineer as well. I often tell my students, to get them to appreciate a construction, whether it's a wristwatch or a building....'Before that thing is made, it must be conceived of and planned, and the more complex the structure or creation, the more detailed and meticulous the planning must be.' This guy is awesome.
"That... That!" *tears up* "Was amazing!" *breaks down* "Just like my grandfather" *weeping on the floor* "Before the war" "I will devote my life to becomeing a prostitute now" "Thanks guys"
The cam shaft needs to be a half slower than the crankshaft!! I saw a gear ratio of 1/1 --- Result: It wouldn´t work as combustion engine. But well done: it is a tiny engine-looking model of an v-12 engine! :)
Not exactly 4 stroke engines need 1/2 slower cam shafts it could be a 2 stroke diesel like a Detroit v12-71 or 92 series engines the cam shaft spin at a 1-1 with the crank shaft due to having combustion every time the piston comes up on the compression stroke
I've added liked. As I am will impressed not just with the engineering side, but the passion he put into making it. Thanks for sharing.Those who give bad feedback. Show us better on what you can build!
One constructs some device, and feels quite proud of the achievement, then along comes this chap, showing one how ordinary was his own effort. That, of course does not include the knockers, the non-doers. His was totally brilliant!
+SouthProduct74 Even while running on air, surely it would still have some measure of power, using air as fuel instead of gasoline. There is a formula for air flow horsepower as well.
What a beautiful little work of art.....or WORKS of art,all working together.This little guy does not have to take a back seat to any Rolex or Brietbart or Tag.....absolutely great!
No, I thought all that work and exacting machining going into the crank and all the other parts... It's like a fake out job, You're thinking "man I want to hear this thing run". Then at the end with no spark plugs, magneto, carburetors... they just stuff an air tube in it to spin it around. But hey I like the exhaust pipes, keeps you fooled to the very end.. That's hilarious.
Lol. You do know I wasn't being serious RIGHT? If you take 2 seconds to use your eyes and read you'll notice I put 12V not V12 as in 12 volt. Duhhhhhhh/
justin slater And how about model fuel based on ether? It doesn't need a spark (some people call it a model-diesel fuel, but it's wrong, since diesel engine are high-pressure devices and model engine doesn't need this much pressure to start - even if it's smaller)
interesting i would recommend it but also i is unstable and how would you store it and keep i cool enought so the tank or container it is in to prevent it from exploding
No I don't. The valves are working. If they didn't that thing would do nothing because the force of the air would push every piston down with the same force at the same time. Of course, you are the god of engines and know everything.
D4RKBRU73 Not Mr Smiley today?well, we live in a world of super-technology,unfotunately it is mostly manned by monkeys ,getting peanuts, is it any wonder we love such beautiful mechanisms
Yes, some of us do know it runs on compressed air. Are you from AOL or Yahoo. How do you know what I know or don't know? What is amazing, to me, is the machine work. This guy is a freaking master of all masters of machining - just my opinion. I'm sure you, already, knew that. "Knew what? That the guy is more that a great machinist? Or, that that is your opinion? Will you try to be more succinct with your statements?" But, butt, buttercup. I don't know what "succinct" means. Is that like trying to set my watch to the correct time? I'm succincting them up. "You're a dumb azz. He said, "seems". It seems to me that someone is an arrogant fool." Don't call me "Shirley".
There is fuel, it comes in through the clear tube from a reservoir in the base, the exhaust comes out the two pipes at the end. First of, ignition has nothing to do with it being an engine. That is a car battery and an electric motor in a real car. Nothing to do with the petrol engine. If you really wanted to get picky, in his case, I am willing to assume he used the drill to start the motor. So according to your definition of an engine, the build showed fits every parameter you set.
Sorry, but it's not an 'engine'. An engine converts an energy form (chemical, thermal) into mechanical force. This has no petrochemical or thermal energy source. It's more of a V12 machine, or contrivance, or device. Really, it's no more than a wonderfully intricate and expensive rattle, to sit on a desk and amuse an affluent executive. Can't say I've seen a twin cam pushrod device before - miniature or otherwise. I'm sure someone has done a mini straight 6 before, so the novelty here is that it's just 2 of those combined. Quite a bit of _new_ design work might've been required to actually put the cam in the V, much less crafting a SOHC or DOHC device.
matthewpeter which makes it an air driven machine, or steam driven machine if you like, that's far from an engine or motor. a "steam engine" refers to the part that produces steam...
perhaps the gentleman from this particular video is from Italy...maybe?? Thank you very much, that is well worth 9 minutes of watching. Kind of the likeness of a watchmaker, with ALL the intricate parts of the engine...no doubt alone a V12. Well done!!
am I the only one here who admires how piston engines and the whole combustion technology works...How individual pistons come together to contribute the little motion and torque they can to the prime mover... its just awesome...
i made a stirling engine a couple of years ago....and felt this was quite some milling/drilling work that went on forever..but what you show here is just amazing....chapeau! next year a couple of carburators?
It would have been nice if he would have designed the engine with all the components to be a scaled down fully functional V12 combustion engine. It is still a fine work of art. A masterpiece! This gentleman is a master machinist and craftsman. I can’t imagine why anyone might choose to criticize him for sharing the creation of his work. I want to thank him for doing so.
Awesome! Hats off to you and your build! I could just see me dropping little parts every where with my giant hands. I think its pretty awesome the things one can create with a work shop and be one of a kind machines. Kudos to you sir!
I can't help but admire the work and dedication it took to produce this wonderful piece of art. I was speechless at how much work he put into making the crankshaft alone. I would love to see it actually power something like a scale model of an exotic car.
People that give negative comments obviously don't understand engineering. This is amazing.

Technically most engines run with compressed air kinda

click bait
I got a macro for it
That's a single cam since there is only one cam per bank. Also note it's a pushrod set up and that can't have dual cams.

runs on compressed air not internal combustion, still absolutly amazing
That's not how you would define 'running'... Driven, It's being driven by compressed air.
I thought calling it an engine was deceptive that is why I mentioned it runs on compressed air, but you are right "runs" may also be misleading.
Aaron Reichert I thought it was actually running on fuel (gasoline or what have you)...still pretty damn impressive though!
Calling it an engine is not misleading. As a steam engine is still an engine whether it is stationary or locomotive. The steam source (stored energy) for such an engine does not have to be be produced directly on the engine itself. Compressed air engines are still engines.
This video could have been 10 hours long and I still would have watched it from beginning to end.
Make it a V6 and you've got Formula 1's next engine.
I wonder if the guy has ever thought of incorporating it into an R/C car? That would be awesome.
***** Ah, I see. But I also saw a video where someone took 12 R/C car gas engines and made a special block and crank, etc. and put them together and the thing runs nicely. The footage was from an R/C plane meeting and I think the person might be planning on putting it into a fairly large scale R/C plane. I gotta look through my history and find that video and see if the person has actually done it yet.

Will it blend?
DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT BLENDING IT... XD
That is the question
it will blend your blender broh.. this is a fuckin masterpiece e.e
I've added liked. As I am will impressed not just with the engineering side, but the passion he put into making it. Thanks for sharing.Those who give bad feedback. Show us better on what you can build!

WOW !....l Makes me wonder how many hours went into it's construction.
1220 hours (end of video)
How would he achive ignition though. there is no spark plug. Is it a diesel? Can such compression tempretures be reached in such a small engine?
It's a Stirling. Which, like a diesel, uses heat to combust. A Stirling can be powered with almost any energy source.
Paul Mauser it's not Stirling. Stirling engines have a different construction. It needs a heat source at one end.
Maybe it's compressed air?
Anukool Karvir Or those are spark plugs at the top that generate a spark from the spring energy somehow.
Paul Mauser Yes. It is compressed air.
That's just... wow! How much horse power does it have?
None...no carbs or FI...no oil pump...no distributor...spark plugs...piston rings and what ever else i missed...still,its truly a marvel of ingenuity

That's hilarious.
I was impressed, but disappointed, too, because it wasn't gasoline powered. I don't know where you'd get spark plugs that small.

I've got 12V engine that's smaller than this.
SpudHead you do know this was posted in 2011 right?
Lol. You do know I wasn't being serious RIGHT? If you take 2 seconds to use your eyes and read you'll notice I put 12V not V12 as in 12 volt. Duhhhhhhh/
You mean 12V motor. So much for being clever.
I take it you guys are actually being sarcastic? If not then you might want to look the word up.
SpudHead You were being facetious, I was (am) being pedantic ;)
It runs on compressed air. Crap. :(
ty_ger it was a horrible ending and waste of time and materials :/
because then u need to get spark plugs and fuel injection system, which is 2 difficult for this guy i think
chechennyboiiy you wouldnt need fuel injection make it run like a diesel but u would need spark plugs
justin slater And how about model fuel based on ether? It doesn't need a spark (some people call it a model-diesel fuel, but it's wrong, since diesel engine are high-pressure devices and model engine doesn't need this much pressure to start - even if it's smaller)
interesting i would recommend it but also i is unstable and how would you store it and keep i cool enought so the tank or container it is in to prevent it from exploding
This model is really amazing even Ehen it runs in compressed air. Getting this thing running that perfect is pretty amazing.
Crazy good work.
Andi
it,s being driven by compressed air,i wd think as there is no gas or ignition involved so couldn,t power anything
it has no real intakes eeither, the valves arent real as well, just up and down moving springs for the illusion
@D4RKBRU73
Oh you genius...
Please tell us how the engine could work in this way without working valves!
BennyJJO
you are just stating what i said. what you want now, a cookie ? go back to your toy corner kiddo
No I don't.
The valves are working. If they didn't that thing would do nothing because the force of the air would push every piston down with the same force at the same time.
Of course, you are the god of engines and know everything.
D4RKBRU73 Not Mr Smiley today?well, we live in a world of super-technology,unfotunately it is mostly manned by monkeys ,getting peanuts, is it any wonder we love such beautiful mechanisms
No one in the comments seems to understand its driven by compressed air, it does not work.
Yes, some of us do know it runs on compressed air. Are you from AOL or Yahoo. How do you know what I know or don't know?
What is amazing, to me, is the machine work. This guy is a freaking master of all masters of machining - just my opinion. I'm sure you, already, knew that.
"Knew what? That the guy is more that a great machinist? Or, that that is your opinion? Will you try to be more succinct with your statements?"
But, butt, buttercup. I don't know what "succinct" means. Is that like trying to set my watch to the correct time? I'm succincting them up.
"You're a dumb azz. He said, "seems". It seems to me that someone is an arrogant fool."
Don't call me "Shirley".
very nice build, but its NOT an engine. it is a pump. there is no ignition ,exhaust or fuel.
There is fuel, it comes in through the clear tube from a reservoir in the base, the exhaust comes out the two pipes at the end.
First of, ignition has nothing to do with it being an engine. That is a car battery and an electric motor in a real car. Nothing to do with the petrol engine. If you really wanted to get picky, in his case, I am willing to assume he used the drill to start the motor. So according to your definition of an engine, the build showed fits every parameter you set.
Sorry pal. It's not a running engine
I'm pretty sure he could make it run with a miniature ignition. He's probably working on it 'cause he's just a genius.
Felix111ize I bet he could also. The guy is a master and would love to see it really run on fuel not air
This is the exact thing I dreamt of doing as a young kid playing with those little hot wheels. Incredible work!!!
Sorry, but it's not an 'engine'. An engine converts an energy form (chemical, thermal) into mechanical force. This has no petrochemical or thermal energy source. It's more of a V12 machine, or contrivance, or device. Really, it's no more than a wonderfully intricate and expensive rattle, to sit on a desk and amuse an affluent executive.
Can't say I've seen a twin cam pushrod device before - miniature or otherwise. I'm sure someone has done a mini straight 6 before, so the novelty here is that it's just 2 of those combined. Quite a bit of _new_ design work might've been required to actually put the cam in the V, much less crafting a SOHC or DOHC device.
it runs on air, so by token it will run on steam.
grow up you fool
matthewpeter Huh? That isn't even a sentence. Your grammar is nearly as poor as your grasp of basic engineering facts.
matthewpeter
which makes it an air driven machine, or steam driven machine if you like, that's far from an engine or motor.
a "steam engine" refers to the part that produces steam...
Asinine Comment you know you lost the argument when you focus on poor grammar instead of the content. Thanks for playing though.
You, sir, are not only a great engineer but also an excellent artist.
Beautiful masterpiece of craftmanship, in every single mechanical piece. Very good job.
That is simply, incredible! The attention to detail and skill it took is crazy. A whole lot of respect for this guy!
Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship! Thank you for sharing. :)
SUPERB ! The dedication and hard work that must have been put to accomplish making such a small working engine model is commendable.
YOU ARE THE MAN......! SUCH VISION AND CRAFT , AND I HOPE YOU BUILD MORE TO SHARE.
Hondas new v12 motor and most torque of any motor they have built, awesome that they went to hand building every motor.
This is an exceptional piece of engineering, it doesn't matter what is used to power it, there should be no negative comments for this. Well done Sir.
The builder of this engine is incredible. I tip my hat to you!
I have been a machinist for almost 40 years...WOW! The skill , its...this guy could machine anything!
perhaps the gentleman from this particular video is from Italy...maybe?? Thank you very much, that is well worth 9 minutes of watching. Kind of the likeness of a watchmaker, with ALL the intricate parts of the engine...no doubt alone a V12. Well done!!
As a machinist myself this is incredible. It's also one of the finest examples I've ever seen of tinkering.
He's a proper engineer. What a superb thing to watch.
am I the only one here who admires how piston engines and the whole combustion technology works...How individual pistons come together to contribute the little motion and torque they can to the prime mover... its just awesome...
Hats off for this kind of precise engineering
i made a stirling engine a couple of years ago....and felt this was quite some milling/drilling work that went on forever..but what you show here is just amazing....chapeau!
next year a couple of carburators?
This gentleman is a genius, outstanding craftsmanship
If anyone's wondering, the second song is called "Rescue" by Harry Gregson-Williams
I respect ur hard work bro.....I can understand how difficult it is to produce that small v12 engine.... professionally
Sir, you are amazing! A big salute to you. Classic V12.
It would have been nice if he would have designed the engine with all the components to be a scaled down fully functional V12 combustion engine. It is still a fine work of art. A masterpiece! This gentleman is a master machinist and craftsman. I can’t imagine why anyone might choose to criticize him for sharing the creation of his work. I want to thank him for doing so.
OMG! That was FANTASTIC! The skill needed to accomplish this just leaves me stunned.
Now THAT what I call a great job! And an amazing choice of music
Awesome! Hats off to you and your build! I could just see me dropping little parts every where with my giant hands. I think its pretty awesome the things one can create with a work shop and be one of a kind machines. Kudos to you sir!
I love to see people like this "awesome person" can built art like this! Make me feel i must respect them.
The most fascinating thing I've ever seen is a crankshaft made on the lathe! So much you can do
The level of engineering and craftsmanship is Master Engineer
Never get sick of this real engineering
I can't help but admire the work and dedication it took to produce this wonderful piece of art. I was speechless at how much work he put into making the crankshaft alone. I would love to see it actually power something like a scale model of an exotic car.
Absolute joy to watch this being crafted. 1220 hours involved. Possibility it would be worth more money than a full size version. 😁
That is seriously one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my life.
