I'm new to engines but am I correct in thinking that this is a double over head cam engine and as it's a V it has 4 cams because it has two banks of cylinders?
there is no combustion... it's just compressed air being fed through pneumatic cylinders. And if you read the description it would tell you that the source of power is an air compressor (air pump).
Yeah I know it's pretty awesome as to what you can do with lego.

They do- you can see the pistons moving inside them. The cylinders are held stationary and link to the crankshaft by the thin liftarms, so the cylinders don't rock from side to side in this engine- this makes it stronger and more stable
Question for the builder: Is the point to simply mimic a gasoline engine and make it look cool (which it does)? Wouldn't it have less energy waste if you made a simpler engine for whatever lego object you are running...meaning more power is converted and transferred? Am I missing something, or is this simply for looks?
This looked uselessly complex, but probably because I had no idea what was happening. It looked neat though. I thought I was cool making a rubber band powered Lego cannon. =/
this sounds exactly like the engine in my dads car, very cool by the way!

thats awesome! thumbs up if you think lego stores should start selling gears and lego should start producing more pnematics!

these engines are not official LEGO sets. these were homemade and take alot of time and is probably too complicated to post instructions in a video

If you could try to send more power to it, like 15000 rpm, that would be awesome! 5*

that would cause a catastrophic failure. it would become unstable and catch fire.

What scares me is that it really would catch on fire if it didn't melt fast enough.
