Dear students.
This is the first entrance for this new 2011-2012 course. I encourage you to take a look to the previous entrances, that could be very interesting for your technology knowledge and development.
Following the aim of curiosity about the topics in this blog, take a look to this video in which the author has developed and so it can be seen, a micro engine.
As it's described in spanish in the Youtube source this is:
It's a V-12 injection air-compressed engine hand-built by artisan way. Perhaps it's the smallest engine in the world of this kind. It has 12 cm3 cylinders, 10mm pistons and 11,3 mm cilynder diameter. It just works with 0,1 Kg/cm2 and it has been built of stainless steel, aluminum and bronze.
Enjoy it
