This is not CNC technology; this guy made everything at home on

make the 261 pieces. Note the end-loaded crankshaft into the block
(like an Offy), 12 individual cylinder heads, TINY rods and pistons,
dual "underhead" cams with pushrods to rockers in the heads. And, he
did break-in runs using an electric drill driving the crankshaft.

The world's tiniest V12 engine.

I wonder if you put 4 of these together if you would be able to charge a hybrid battery at a more efficient rate of less fuel.
