Thought that this might prompt some discussion on here. I understand that some might be upset, whilst others will appreciate the engineering required to produce this engine. The link below is to the original Facebook posting by Gregory Rathe on 8th, February 2024. I have no connection to Gregory Rathe.

Impressive engineering, but does it run? Is it any use for anything? I bet Taglioni would have been interested!
Cheers,
Colin

That can't work.......there's no sign of offset on the cylinders and the bottom cylinder would hydraulic lock....its just a bit of sculpture/conversation piece. Cheers George

Maybe it has a master and slave connecting rods, but I'm inclined to agree with you George. There are many questions one could ask.

It looks like there's oil in the clear tubing "sump".
For a working model, the big ends could have been reduced in width with suitable offsets?
