This is a cool video, but how is it working if there's no combustion in the internal combustion engine? Oh well, it's a close replica, I guess.

Anyone who doesn't upvote this at least 10 times must be insane. Or blind. Or blindly insane.

I wonder if it has working cylinders and valves. Also that's a lot of fast moving plastic parts, what keeps the plastic from melting due to friction.

It's running on compressed air, if I'm not mistaken.

It's not a "working" V8 if it has to be powered externally. A "working" V8 powers OTHER things.

I would like to see a little more about how the internals work. Does it have valves that are timed to drive the pistons? Are the pistons in fact individually driven by compressed air? In that case, getting the timing right would be impressive. If the air is just driving a flywheel that turns the drive shaft with it, that isn't quite so cool. Still cool though, just not quite so cool.

If he could connect it to some CO2 cartridges controlled by a throttle, and then put it into a car (a Lotus 49 please) so the whole thing was self-contained, THAT would be cool.

Disappointing, i was expecting a working v8 engine. Maybe the title was a bit misleading.

maybe "functional V8 engine" instead?

Maybe it runs off of vegetable juice.

And the filming was horrible. The "engine" doesn't do anything, so the cameraman just moved all around while all I wanted to see was the "tachometer" when it sounded like it was going faster. Disappointment on top of poor quality = downvote.

(Well, it was supposed to be a downvote but I missed. Downvote for too much beer.)
