  Fw: Tiniest V12 diesel Engine



 

For anyone who ever turned a wrench on a

motor large or small, this is

impressive.
YOU HAVE GOT

TO WATCH THIS CLIP, IT’S AN AMAZING VIDEO OF TRUE

CRAFTSMANSHIP.

AN OPERATIONAL V-12 DIESEL

ENGINE THAT FITS IN THE PALM OF YOUR

HAND.

This is not CNC technology;

this guy made everything at home on
his lathe and

drill press. Took 1220 hours (a year and a half?)

to
make the 261 pieces. Note the end-loaded

crankshaft into the block
(like an Offy), 12

individual cylinder heads, TINY rods and

pistons,
dual "underhead" cams with pushrods to

rockers in the heads. And, he
did break-in runs

using an electric drill driving the

crankshaft!

Even if you're not an engineer,

you'll love this!

Thanks John, a great visual demonstration of the most admirable qualities that every person would greatly benefit to emulate.
Planning, Goal seeking, identification of components needed for success, creating each step faithfully, assembling and proceeding in a logical construction from the foundation upwards, testing the finished creation for verification of meeting the initial goal. A very strong example of what is doable when one sets an objective and persists until the goal is achieved and lovingly done. A spiritual being who came to show humanity what is possible. A significant human teacher to applaud and admire.
