An even bigger tiny engine
An evening pause: In 2012 I posted a video of this company’s V12 miniature engine. They’ve now built something even more impressive.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.
“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.

Was that motor running on fuel? Didn’t seem so. Looked like an electric motor or air pressure was turning it. After all, where was the distributors, plugs and fuel lines. I’m just curious as it looks amazing.
Mechanical in function, but in essence, an amazing work of art. Great Pause, Bob!
The engine appears to be running on compressed air. Even so, a remarkable piece of work. I’d like to see the turbo version.
