Nice. Looks like A LOT of work. I took some machinist classes a couple years ago and went insane trying to get shit to 1/1000th of an inch on target.. I can't imagine what the specs for this thing is.

Apparently, you haven't seen this guy yet. He owns all mini engine builders!

that dude is DEDICATED if thats what he's done for this long. but I am honestly impressed by people who can make these tiny motors and make them run.

I wonder what the power output is on one of them, and how much fuel it uses an hour....

As soon as I saw this I thought of the ferrari guy. Both incredible feats.

20,000 hours!?!? For reference... on average, full time employment is considered 2,080 hours per year (@ 40 hrs/wk).

Holy SHIT!

He's gonna need a Stewart Little to drive that thing. Hope he doesn't get into genetic engineering to make a mini mouse jockey!
