THAT is impressive!  :bugeye: :jaw:

If my understanding is correct it says in the end that it took 1220 hours of work.
I'm not sure my patience would be enough...

Fabulous!

One question...bombas de refrigerant?

Fridge bombs? :lol: :lol: :lol:

I can't see how he starts it going, or keeps it going running on air; exhaust valves must open at bottom dead centre.

Hehe!  Coolant pump actually, but probably not necessary on an air engine.  :scratch:  Nice work though!  :drool:

I have seen a lot of things made and I have seen some very good presentations but that one is so far over the top. It has been said by someone here "I may never make anything again." That is unbelievable and I only wish I was 1 tenth as good as he is.
