Hardly a reputable scientific source.   Read also about "Vaccines are the true weapons of mass destruction." free energy and how Hitler may have been right after all.

Well since you ask the bil was a diesel fitter and ships engineer in an earlier life and sends me useless pics of interesting lil motors and big jeeps and stuff and when I googled 'worlds smallest motor' for more info that link came up. So I naturally figured it runs on a wing and a prayer just like some vehicles of mine from my youth  :angel:

Alas the eternal problem of youth, spending one's meagre silver wisely on racing motorbikes, wine, women and song is you have to waste the rest on food rent and bills  :'(

Amazing what some people are able to achieve, however maybe didn't quite reach there forecasts on this one.

SCIENTISTS have built the smallest petrol engine ? tiny enough to power a WATCH.

...Experts believe it could be phasing out batteriesin such items  within just six years...

Very cool though.

That V12 is amazing.  Was it 1220 hours to build?
