The dedication and passion some people put into engineering perfection sometimes boggles the mind. We are not talking about a Ferrari 90 degree V8, but about something much much cooler, of which there is probably only one in the world.
Yesus Wilder uploaded a clip to Youtube that has already almost reached one million views, and for good reason. It shows how the world’s smallest V12 engine is constructed from scratch from stainless steel, aluminum, and bronze.
The video is almost 10 minutes long, but the construction and thought process that went into the miniature V12 must have lasted about a year. Helped by some epic/heroic background music, we watched in awe how he puts together a miniature cam shaft, 12 small pistons and rods and other small components. It’s even got an exhaust system and works like a charm. The video is definitely worth 10 minutes out of your day, especially if you like engines.
Number of parts -261
Number of screws - 222
Number of labour hours - 1220
