Miniature running W32 engine, a work of art

http://jalopnik.com/this-mind-blowing-small-w32-engine-is-nothing-short-of-1684958172

I know this isn't politics but it is something that will be enjoyed by all of us mechanically minded individuals here.

Motores Patelo, the little one-man miniature engine shop that could, is a true gift to the world. Handcrafting real, working piston engines from scratch, and setting the assembly of those engines to swelling movie scores, is the kind of work that sets humanity apart from the animals. And its come up with its toughest challenge yet.


Peace

you'll find several other small engines that have been built.
I build things but nothing to compare with this
