Handmade, world's smallest 12-cylinder engine:
I wonder how many MPG it would get?

Prodigit those videos were REALLY cool. I think it'd be cool if they had mini Chinese scoot engines like that, in the 3rd video---it'd be good practice with proper tools---ehh fun either way. Nice.
It reminded me that mini piston key chain I've been wanting. I want one with the rings included.
Never was a fan of plastic model cars, but that would be something I'd mess around with-- the mini 12-cylinder.

If you ask me, the mini 12 cylinder engine probably would not even be enough for driving a bicycle past 20MPH. But make it on a 2:1 scale, and it could be a super efficient bicycle engine!
Probably 3 to 4x bigger, and it might work on a scoot, but at the cost of 1200 hours of labor?
That thing costs over $25k to make!
