I found the perfect engine to swap into my car.

0.1cc model diesel engine

inner workings would be similar to a nitro RC engine.

The little wrench on top is for varying the compression ratio by reducing or increasing cylinder volume.

Neat stuff.

This would also make an awesome pencil sharpener. Imagine how many people you could piss off with that.

Wow, that reminds me of a toy I had when I was little. One Christmas, I received a control-line model airplane that I never got running because I was too busy playing with Legos all the time.

I think the plane’s long gone now, but I’m pretty sure I still have the little engine laying around somewhere. I’m going to go through some boxes this weekend and see if I can find it.

Can I make it roll coal?

Probably.

To infinity uses a different way to adjust compression ratio, they could use a wrench to simplify it.

The engine that fuels my shitposts. That’s what it sounds like.

I have one. Not that specific one, but a Taplin Twin:

The T-screws are indeed to vary the compression ratio, which was done to set the ignition timing. Typically you would start the engine on low compression to minimize the risk of kick-back and oscillation, then turn the screws in after it was running to advance the timing.

However, they weren’t very powerful, they only made about 0.3-0.4 horsepower out of 7cc. In contrast, I have a 7.5cc CMB HR nitro engine like this:

Which makes nearly 5 horsepower out of the same displacement.

I want one for no good reason.

if you build a coal rolling pencil sharpener, you will be my hero

Very nice. I have a McCoy Diesel, but haven’t ran it a lot.
