Amazing the degree of miniaturization that can be achieved. Maybe that's the answer to the oil situation. I wonder if you might get 300 -400 HP out of one.

My guess is that it is probably not too efficient with respect to power versus size and weight and performance. Still the fact that it is miniature and it actually runs is quite awesome. . The only type of engines that I have seen miniaturized and looking like their full size counterparts with regards to appearance, power, and efficiency and performance are jet turbine engines.Originally Posted by K7SGJ
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
My bad, did I say V12s? I meant flat 12s.
Also, the power problem in the models is one of mass flow and the scale effect. That's why the most powerful small engines (think model airplanes) are the two-strokes.

Did we see this before? If I recall, it was a 2 stroke unless this one is different.
I remember someone posted a link to a scaled engine that was not operable. This is a thing of beauty (to me).

Now what that guy needs to do is to build a 'vette to put it in, then genetically engineer a driver that'll fit in it! THAT'd be AWESOME!
Kinda like that 12" Pianist!

No, I remember the REALLY tiny one that ran on compressed air at the time the video was made. I'm taking about another (or same?) Chevy engine that ran but was operating as a 2 stroke.
Feh! Check this guy out. This is what happens when you leave an engineer with mad machine tool skills and too much time on his hands alone in the machine shop. He has built two 1:3 scale Ferrari 312pb race cars with running V-12 engines. His next was a Ferrari 330p4 and he has completed the engine for a Ferrari 250 GTO as a start to building the complete car. The 330s have gasoline-fuel 103 cc v-12s, scale operational 5 speed transaxles, hydraulic disc brakes, correct, operational steering and suspensions and molded rubber tires. It took him over a year to tune the exhausts so they sounded like a real 312 but a couple of octaves higher. Fiat/Ferrari has given him access to factory documentation and specs so that the cars will be as exact as possible.
