Absolutely brilliant, we all know what the parts are and where they go but to watch this being put together is mesmorising, hard enough to make a V twin so a V12 incredible.
Could watch it over and over :D :D :D :D :D

Amazing. Was hoping to see it run on fuel, rather than air but very very amazing all the same!!

Very impressive engineering and a real joy to watch, but I can't help thinking that if they see this clip in China they will be knocking them out by the thousand for 12/6p.

Speak for yourself JP! I hardly know anything about engines and after watching that I still don't. However it's very impressive!

Brilliant video. Fascinating stuff. I'd love to have that sort of skill but my fingers are too fat, at least that's my excuse :D

Just had to watch it again, more critically this time, I cannot be sure if the collector pipes, exhaust manifolds, are solid, I am guessing that they are and that compressed air is just "lost" once it has been through the cylinders.
Still a brilliant piece of work. :D

The first one appears to be a compressed air driven model showing engine functions...

...however, here is a petrol one that is actually an engine
