Worlds Smallest V12 Engine

All that has to do with the power train, gearbox, clutch, fuels and lubricants, etc. Generally the mechanical side of Formula One.

Worlds Smallest V12 Engine

Post

Not sure if everyone has seen this before, but today was the first time for me, so I figure I'd post it for you engine nuts. Absolutely awesome and the attention to detail is amazing. Obviously there's no ignition or combustion and it runs off of compressed air, but still awesome nonetheless. Cheers!

Only V8 but running on real fuel.

And here's the whole thread in the CamBam CAM software forum. If you feel like it you can follow the process of making the engine from start to finish.

For the last few years I've gone deep into DIY CNC machinery that's the reason I participate there. And I really admire those craftsmen.

There is another thread, the same person now building a blown V8.

How much horsepower does it have :P?

Awesome video Crucial. And learnful: quite a few components I don't understandd which function they have, so I'll have to do some research.
