That is some insane machine work. But I'm confused, if that thing is actually running at the end, HOW?

Both very cool - but that mini-v12 is beautiful.

Thank you I really enjoyed that. I wish the kids today could find this stuff fascinating. When all us old timers pass on who is going to carry on? Our generation grew up reading Tom Swift and watching Mr. Wizard and playing with erector sets. Today kids are watching "super hero's" and leaving the technical stuff for the Chinese.

I did not see any source of ignition....I think it was running on compressed air through the plastic tube.

I always like to surf You tube to see if there are any new videos on these engines.

This is one of my favorite you tube channels. http://www.youtube.com/user/rcWizzard?feature=chclk#p/u/3/xi7aQ9cylEA
This guy is building a 1/4 scale Grave Digger monster truck around a Connelly scale V8.
In this one, he has just installed the new supercharged Connelly Stinger 609, which is rated at 9hp.
If you can hang on, he starts the engine at about 4 minutes into the video, and it sounds NICE!!!
