tiny V10 engine

We all love ICEs. They are some of the most impressive inventions of men. The sad thing is we are at the trilight of these machines that have a cumulative incremental engineering enhancements of 150 years.

Today I came across this video of a 1/3 scale V10 engine. The dedication and skills of the man who built it left me speechless.

There are always those that have the talent. Years ago when my brother and I raced snowmobiles, a guy took a 250cc and 340cc engine, both were twin cylinders. He took one cylinder from the 250 and one from the 340 and put them together. Amazing engine that won numerous races. The factory guys could not believe the man did it.
