The world's smallest W32 engine - mechanical

The retired mechanic in Spain spends 2,520 hours working on a 32-cylinder, ultra-smooth machine.

Making a 1: 1 engine block from waste is hard enough and requires more investment, more elaborate. But to make a miniature W32 machine full of detail and able to operate smoothly, it seems that only José Manuel Hermo Barreiro, or the friendly name Patelo, can do.

Technically, Patelo's W32 engine is powered by compressed air rather than gasoline, but every movement of detail is accurate.

This retired engineer spent several years creating a mechanical masterpiece with a series of cylinders and everything else was small. Before that, he built a miniature V12 engine with 1,220 hours of work to complete. " I'm not a patient person, I'm very impatient, I do it because I love it," Patelo said. This man has 11 miniature engine blocks, all inspired by marine engines, according to Autoweek.

Patelo designs everything then shakes hands. The orange shaft is made first, then the cylinder block. The next thing is the cylinder, the cylinder head. All 850 separate pieces are assembled with 650 screws to create the final work.
