Incredible! Though, I couldn't tell... was it actually running, or was it being spun by something? I don't think I could get a penny to stand on it's edge on just a table!

Absolutely cool

( I don't think I could get a penny to stand on it's edge on just a table![/QUOTE]) I just took 12 pennies from a penny jar and tried to stand them up, 6 stood,6 did not. If you don't see it live you have to wonder.

very interesting, would love to have the time and patience to build some thing like that,

my current machinery would not hardly be accurate enough to do that, it is amazing, IMO

Very impressive. I suspect it's running on compressed air.

That web site was sent to me via email & it did say engine running on compressed air. The 1st I had heard of such.

It is, but it's still quite a motor. I imagine it must be a lot simpler to make the valving and cams for an air motor, than an internal combustion engine. Plus no ignition system.

I wonder what kind of torque it has?

Whatever it is running on, it is still impressive!

Quite impressive.

That being said, if I had those kind of skills I can't imagine spending those many hours on a tiny model just to look at...
