LOL...well that poster obviously used the wrong wording. It's not "smallest"....its "tiniest". THEN I would have found it!!

Yeah thats nuts. According to the last bit, 1220hours, with 220 moving parts.

It looks pretty straightforward, just very time consuming. One thing that Im curious about is the rocker arms. It looks like those were just cast, then had their pivot shaft bore, bored out using a machine.

Either way, sure is cool that it runs. I wonder what it runs on? Almost seems to be a pure fuel without air.

There's actually no "combustion". It just moves with compressed air. He uses it for teaching and demonstrations to kids, hence no actual fuel is used.

^ Ah, thanks. That would be worlds simpler then dealing with carb, compression & fuel mixture issues.

lack of sparks plugs seems detrimental to the existence of an internal combustion motor.

Agreed. The air compressor driven one is well.. interesting, but I can buy toys at Toys r us that do similar.. the tiny ICE is FAR cooler.
