That Napier Deltic looks fantastic , based on the 18/7 A that I worked on back in the eighties. It was fitted to the British minesweepers,Truly stunning feet of engineering.

It's like finding gold if you ever find one running!

It's always fun researching this stuff, lot's of talented builders out there. So what is your favorite engine? Also I will try to narrate a little less and show more engine running next time.

I enjoyed the video. However to call that a mini F-35 engine because it has an afterburner isn’t entirely accurate lol. But I think you know that. Lol again good video.

It's even more amazing to see such engines in person. If you get a chance, go to some show that has them. They are even better in person. Also, you will see an entire range of things small to large, simple to complex. They are called things like "Model Engineering Shows" with "Cabin Fever" perhaps being one of the most famous in the U.S.

This is mechanical art of a very high class, the construction time shows how highly specialized this is.

That Napier! When told to 'get a hobby' that guy went off the charts and never looked back. DAYUM!!

I'm really amazed with the skills of crafters who mades these beautifull machines !

I'm still not getting credit for making the castings that were used to build the quarter-scale Merlin. It's rather irritating. My company was called Dynamotive, and I sold many sets of castings (not a hundred, but more than fifty). The project was so complicated that only a few were built - so there are a whole lot of casting sets out there.. In Terry Mayhugh's build blog, he says he bought the castings. But somehow, when someone sees the finished engine, that fact gets lost. - Richard Maheu (pronounced the same as Mayhugh)

Thanks for your work, is their a website or any sources I can link to?

The Auto Union V-16 was weird in that as an OHC engine it used pushrods for the exhaust valves. Some you missed are the H-24 Roll Royce Eagle, the H-16 Nsiper Dagger and the 1/4 scale Offy built in the 70s

Creators are a genius

The paper engine is basically a duct fan wich housing looks like a 4 stroke, so do we consider it as top ten?

Great job!

Travail d’Ingénieur ! Mille Bravos !

Verry nice videos.

I admire people that can build these engines. It's amazing!

Would be nice to hear them though...

Seriously, the auto industry needs to hire these guys and BUILD what they've design in homebuilts that actually work.

Should have said something about the dude that built the engine at 0:01. He's a madman.

Very interesting

You missed some classics! Go back to 1936 gold medal winner of London model engineering exhibition the18 cylinder double Bank radial made on a treadle lathe by Gerald Smith. In the early 80's Barry Hares completed a 1/5 scale running merlin. This was a true copy of the full size merlin which even had working magnetos. As fabulous as the merlin you feature is, it's simplified internally from the full size. Barry Hares again about 15 yrs ago with Rolls Royce Eagle. Mike Sayers 1/3 scale supercharged Bentley is another. Lew Blackmore in Australia made a beautiful Bentley 9 cyl rotary (and published a book on how to do so). There are quite a few super talented builders, top 10 is a hard choice!

Should be classified as a work of art.

nice piece, I wish however that you would have had audio tracks on as many of them as were available, and let those tracks you did have run longer.

If you like the miniature stuff, you might care to look at Find Hansen's work. He is the jeweller of the diesel world: kzread.infovideos

No doubt very skilled engineering, but if you check out Barry Hines's 1/4 scale Rolls Royce Merlin, then you will gasp at this mans achievement. 😉👍👌

Impressive

I've never seen the BF 109 engine in replica, always the Merlin engine. The BF 109 was an outstanding engine as well.

You are right, even in full scale licensed japanese and italian replicas wasn't so perfect like german ones, it seems to me that german engines - as Db or Junkers engines - are really difficult to build even with modern 3 axis machines.

The sound if the engines are important

I ❤ it

these will be the blunderbusses of the future... everyone will love their look and the noise... but no one will actually use one for anything but demonstrations.

Amazing stuff, but Running on fuel is an order of magnitude more impressive than one that just pretends to run (air). I've the plans for the 18cyl radial and is on my build list along with an offy engine designed by Ron.

If I had the talent to build a small, detailed running engine I would build my own one of a kind full size engine and put it in a car

.... At what point do we stop calling these "model engines" and just call them actual custom built engines? 😂

I should've taken metal shop

I'm undecided as to what this voice belongs to. Human or robot. Would've been nice to HEAR them run.

Shit up dude! Let’s hear the engines run

I hope rolls Royce appreciate the merlin model 👌👍👍

Hearing them would have been nice

I will try to show every one running next time, I wasn't sure about adding the first two. I just narrate to keep it under fair use but it was probably a little too much. Thanks for the feedback.

You got permission from everyone to post these, right?

That one with the pennies is way out of balance ! 🤣

I followed the Napier build years ago and it was reportedly plagued with overheating issues. A 55-gallon barrel of Ice water could keep it runnin awhile with proper plumbing.

Kein Motor kann 10 Minuten Vollgas aushalten , also ins Museum und ruhig sein !

"It runs on air." Then it's not an engine.

JUST !! ENLARGE !! IT !! NOW !! AND !! PUT !! THAT !! IN !! YOUR !! CAR !! NUMBER SIX !! ( MAD !! MAX !! )

I'm poor boy in florida if someone would send or send me a small lathe I would have my dream I promise I'll make small nitro engines and hopefully get pateryon to sponser me i use to take lawn engines at 9 years old and advanced the cam shaft just wanted to say help me ill help u thanks

I want the engine sound to work. fool

Hey hears a thought. How about get to hear the motors instead of your mouth

Too much blabla, not enough engine sound!

Great video but ads ads ads ads ads!!!!

Bro, missed the point. Engines sound and not your voice. Keep short.

the guy spoke all the way.. shut up and let us hear the engine.

die hälfte ist quatsch.

Far too much talking, not enough engine noise....

I never heard the Cirrus or the V-16, I only heard annoying commentary. Thumbs DOWN.

Spoilt by narration. It assumes the viewer is dumb.

Your video sucks. Can't hear the engines!
