It's wonderful work, but it appears to be a compressed-air motor, not
burning fuel.

I know a fellow who built a real, running, fuel-guzzling V8 smaller than
your palm. And... it actually runs quite well.

I wasn't sure so I figured I'd post the link and let everyone chime in on
whether it was really running or not.

Whatever it is, it's good work. I don't think it's an actual fuel burner,
because there is not much noise or heat discoloration. My little .049
airplane engines used to have a piston about that big, and hooey, they made
a racket.

He should put it in a chain saw. ;-)

You can't have a sense of humor, if you have no sense.

When flying a 2 meter sail plane on the west coast some years ago,
a friend had a small diesel in his airplane. To many parts to stay
working very long but it sounded neat.

I think he traded the plane in a swap meet.

I remember the .049 was like - but the .015 or .017 - can't remember -
was even nerve wracking.

I don't get that.

I have a nice 4-stroker in a .61 size. It's got as many parts as a
diesel, and its running life is rated in hundreds of hours at power.

None of the model engines have extremely long lives, but I've not seen a
decent brand that wasn't good for over 100 hours of useful flight time.

I hope you meant that YOU had a sailplane, and HE had a stinkpot. I'd
hate to think of putting a fuel motor on a silent-flight aircraft.

Cool, but I liked seeing all the parts of the V12 diesel.

This guy, Steve Hucks, has the whole thing documented on his web site.
All the parts, all the work, and finally the test run, then a "tuned"
run.
