Soooo impressive. And I thought Folgers in your cup was a great way to wakeup.
Approximately, how many RPMs were you accelerating to?

That is intense! Super fun to watch (if you're a gearhead that is). I wonder what he does with all this stuff when he's done with it.

Maybe he has one section of a room for mechanical displays - just opposite his guitars. I would like to see that room if one does exist.

Very cool. Now he has to put it in model car and race it around. Next, I want to see someone build a 9-piston radial engine, stick it in a radio-controlled model plane, and then fly the thing. :geek:

Timo, were there vacuum tubes on those old biplanes? I'm thinking no. But, having said that, I'd love to see someone make an RC (no tubes, thank you) mini biplane. A mini radial engine like GG was suggesting would of course be the centerpiece of such a beastie, but wow! What a project that'd be.
