World's Tiniest Functional Diesel Engine

[mfennema]

Am I missing something here? Where's the diesel fuel and all of the black smoke?

He's got built in EGR. You must have missed that part.

If I would do such a small thing, I'd probably do it in a smaller amount of cylinders, no more than 6 cylinders...

cant you just say cool?






Cool!!!!

An EGR actually increases the soot issue, since it lowers the combustion chambers temperature

Sometimes, you just have to resist.

Anybody got an RC truck we can drop this beast in?

RC Nitro/methane engines are glow engines...

I had my Traxxas 2.5R running on diesel... Smoked like a bastard!

But the glow plug wasn't made of the right material... It needed the methanol to run properly

The only way I could get the plug to stay hot enough to rev over 10k RPM was to keep the ignitor on it... But in the limited RPM range... It ran good!

Well enough for me to look at finding diesel glow plugs for it

And yes, that V12 is damned cool

That think is cool as hell!

Is this engine a 2-stroke, right?

Correct!
