Neat little V-12, and I mean little.
« on: November 26, 2011, 04:29:06 PM »
I just love seeing how some people entertain their hobby.
Most of these guys are highly skilled, and retired tool & die makers, and or machinists.
You have to admit it would be cool to have this on your desk,
and if the day is going bad, just fire that thing up, and watch it run for awhile.
Hope you enjoy.  :-)

Thanks, that one is cool! I like trying to catch the local miniature show here when I can.

Cool, but it needs a turbocharger.

I got that video from a friend in Austria, and it was in German.  I didn't watch this one -- but I assume it, too, is in a language I don't understand.  But -- I think I noticed that the engine runs on compressed air, right?  So - a turbo wouldn't do much good, would it? :evil:

Slim, more compressor always helps!  :-D
