I Made This Engine Myself — And Then Learned It Already Existed! (shortened version)

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

Hey everyone,

This is the craziest thing I've ever built! Since I was young, I dreamed of designing my own internal combustion engine. Back then, I had no knowledge, tools, or internet access—only an idea. Years later, I finally brought it to life.

Instead of traditional valves, this engine uses a camshaft with gas flow channels. It's an idea I generated long ago, and building it felt like a huge personal victory. When it worked... I was so inspired, I even filed for a patent! But just two months later, I discovered this concept already existed nearly a century ago.

Still, that doesn’t kill my enthusiasm. I came up with this system independently—and now, I’ve built it with my own hands.

Is it practical? Will it work long-term? We’re about to find out. Join me on this wild experimental journey, and let’s see what happens.
See the detailed step-by-step process of how a skilled machinist expertly uses a variety of tools and machinery to create a precise metal part. The video highlights the nuances of machining and the careful assembly required to produce a functional mechanical component. See the final product in action as the machinist does a test of the finished mechanical component.


Don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments—I read almost everything!
