    I don't get it. How does it run without spark plugs? Or have I missed something? :-?

    +1 on compressed air - didnt see any spark plugs, or a piston ring being fitted?

    The little methanol r/c car engines can run on a glowplug system, but that is a 2cycle engine, not a 4cycle.

    Clever though! Very talented...

    Yeah, clever, but pointless if it's a diesel... ;D

    Was more impressed by the guy that built a perfect scale replica of a Ferrari racer, complete with running flat 12. The gearbox, pedals, suspension, all worked like the full size car. 8-)
