A. I need this for when my neighbors fire up their bbqs. Sweet revenge for all the stink they produce.
B. Awesome design, I especially like the frantic valve rods. Never realised that such engines can't use a camshaft.
C. The propellor (?) is just for the cooling, I suppose. Fit a bigger one and this will take off! Next step, fit in on a biplane!

Can't see how this engine would last very long.There seems to be no lubricating system for the pushrods or rocker arm assemblies ,much less for the pistons, crankshaft and rod assemblies. The video does not show what cam mechanism is used for the valves either.
Looks like a fun project but it will probably spend it's life sitting on that stand as a showpiece.
Otherwise it would make a nice air-boat engine.
#7 He could have picked a less dangerous "rotating mass" than a prop if that is what it is for. A steel disc would make more sense.

All videos should be like this:
Step 1: Show how its made.
Step 2: Show how it works.
