I would have said it was a fraud but look at the exhaust manifold, it's custom made
flywheel is on so you need some sort of excentric shaft, as well as main pulley.

put some turbo's on this and it'll make a tank fly

I bet it's fake. Where did you find the picture?

If it's real (which i doubt), the eccentric shaft better be made out of some miracle material...

exactly, there arent even any 'fat' irons for bearings, that thing would not work.

A friend from France made these pictures when he picked up his freshly built engine at Hurley rotary in the UK.

looks destined for an FD based on the front end. it has to have some sort of shaft in there since it has the front hub andthe flywheel on.

"fat" irons aren't required for bearings if one machines the iron to accept a bearing.

They must've done alot of work to get stationary gears in there for everything. Seeing as the center irons don't have a spot for them.

Yeah, it's possible, i wouldn't believe it until i saw it run though.

These pictures prove nothing. Have you guys ever wondered why you've never seen videos of this thing actually running, and only seen pictures of it mocked up on a stand?

For all we know, there are two regular 12A shafts in there, one on each end holding the flywheel and accessory drive pulley.
