Had a friend back in the UK and his hobby was making model engines.He was a machinist by trade and made these tiny little enginwe in his home workshop.He made almost every thing for them except spark plugs and he could actually buy the miniature plugs.They all ran.

I had a little pickup once that I think had that very same engine in it from the factory.

Developed almost 1/100th of a horsepower.

Very cool, but I noticed it didn't have a lubrication system; he's going to have to hand lubricate the pistons pretty frequently i think.

Also I'd love to see him hook it up to some small... something, let's see what work it can do, and figure out the horsepower.

Info on displacement and such would be cool too.

Altogether though very fun watching.

Think it was air powered. At least I believe thats what we came up with the last time it was posted.
