@ 24 hours per day that's pretty much 51 days non stop working
@ 8 hours per day it's 153 days work !

What fuel would that be running on!

What a brilliant effort.

Even if you connect the fuel supply to the engine and add spark plugs and ignition system, it would never run, as the crank sprocket needs to be half the size of the cam sprockets. In this case they are all the same size. However, he's done a brilliant job constructing something like that from scratch. I wouldn't even know where to start if I attempted something like that.

I need to watch the video again but I wondered if it was running on compressed air!

I think so since not a carburettor or similar in sight. I also wondered about no bearing shells etc. and long it would last. But with no internal combustion; much less heat! Very impressive though!

Yes, and as muganb20b pointed out the odd camshaft ratio supports this too. I get the impression that guy would do nothing by accident so re-configuring the camshaft with 1:1 gearing to make a 2 Cycle air powered engine would make a lot of sense.

Clues.
Static rev's no exhaust smoke No starter no carb Single feed line on the back Exhaust pipes don't change color Valve rockers shift in & out of balance /sequence randomly with no change in engine note No spark plugs
BRILLIANT workmanship

A suggested use might be for the ''older women's" marital aid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch!v=SeUMDY01uUA while we're on the subject of scale model 12 cylinder engines and for those that have'nt seen this awesome piece of workmanship
There seems to be a simple fuel into the cylinder arrangement under the airfilter. It doesn't seem to be able to be able to be adjusted though - so only a one speed engine.

How would it be atomized! As above posters also point out; no ratio with cams so valves going continuously!

Would this be the engine for the future cars etc.

Only if it runs on water.

Just wish my net was going properly so I could re-visit the video.

No one is going to step in and criticize a pushrod engine!

Maybee I've got old eyes but for me the clue was that there diddn't seem to be piston rings.My bet would be that it runs on lubed compressed air for now.
