Default Small Engine Project

A couple of guys modified a single cylinder engine and added a glass head so the combustion process is visible. It is a really interesting project covered by 17 videos. Here's a link to video 17 when they finally got it running. ヽ(€¢€¿€¢)ノ

I enjoyed it, thanks! I guess the "spark plug" is out of sight (or
doesn't it have one)?

It is plainly visible. That is, the spark and the spark gap is plainly
visible as is the wire.

While I know how an engine works, I've never seen it in action. That is
very interesting.

The spark plug is a small homemade spark gap in the side of the head and they're not using a conventional magneto small engine ignition. They cobbled together a buzz coil ignition like that of the old Model T Ford which produces a continuous spark when switched on. ヽ(ヅ)ノ
