Construction of a mini radial engine

This video shows the construction of a radial engine miniature.
To see this work go to 8m45.

A radial engine it works like that :

    That must be the same type of engine as propeller-driven aircraft.

    Namely, these engines widely used during WWII fighters and bombers in the real gems were technology and monsters power for the time (in 2400ch for the swiftest) such as the Pratt & Whitney R2800-type double star which equipped the legendary Republic P-47 Thunderbolt U.S.. Anyway, he had the power to be able to achieve 9000 at 10000m altitude, with the fall of oxygen, power literally falls by a factor 2 or even 3 at high altitudes and usually is the one who had the most “resources” engine that came out victorious in a duel…

    Say it is spoiled in music videos lately :)
    That the removal of trees was avant-garde, this one gives the impression that we are witnessing a birth

    This is a model not a real engine model ?
    There is no ignition system (candle + magneto) injection or (injectors or carburetor) and it starts up by itself without noise or smoke.
    I not understand the logic of making an engine as realistic but that does not really, but it is really impressive.

      yes, The Ensemble I, this one would work with compressed air then probably (finally, c Have I understood), it is true that both than done, he could have made the total, lazy will…

      I hope not say something stupid, but it seems that small engines like those used on model airplanes work by self-combustion, Having regard to the very high compression ratio which increases the temperature of the mixture in the cylinder. It avoids a costly and complex electrical system. This may be the case here.

    The modelers have mastered to perfection the art of kitsch-mounting, it is always delight for the eyes and ears.
    Going back to the bottom of the topic, Here are two videos of a radial engine which works. With the added emphasis Etienne many market we.
    Here they explain with emphasis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woDyIc_ZXpw

    It is superb and it was not his first engine. This is a beautiful work.
