Miniature W-32 engine (h/t Gordon)

Very cool. But on jalopnik a few months ago they had a miniature engine that actually ran - spark plugs and all. Very impressive.

That is impressive!! Beautiful workmanship.

Methinks this a diesel

Then there is the Napier Deltic diesel (with animation)

And a miniature

.

It runs on compressed air , there is no fuel , no ignition or spark plugs , so not truly an engine

I do love the intricate workmanship and detail

But a Swiss Watchmaker would consider it very large and cumbersome . (smile)

Yeah well you can never beat the sound of a big block......a mini....big....block....
