That same engine vid is on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YfTt...ature=youtu.be And in English the description says: "v-12 engine with compressed air injection,hand made using taditional methods:12 cm3 of displacement,the diameter of the cyllinder is 11,3 mm,the stroke of the pistons 10mm,it works with only 0,1kg/cm2.Is constructed with stainless steel,aluminum and bronze.Patelo dedicate this engine to his grandchildren:Sara,Carmen,Jose and Pablo.This engine is for education,exhibitons,etc.,that is the reason to work with compressed air, to avoid contamination.He has made the plans and all parts, except the screws.The engine is not for sale.Thanks to everybody for the comments and sorry for my bad English." Solves that problem. Thanks, Tim. |

As to the "ignition", it really looks to me like it is run on compressed air, no ignition system, no carb, no plugs, no battery, no fuel rails..... One plastic line coming in, I assume it's pressurized air Deisel? I dunno, the cylinders are tight but there are no compression rings. I still don't think it's internal combustinon... No glow plugs either... You could be right, I'm going to watch it again, but you don't need glow plugs to fire off a fuel and air mixture. Just compression. |
