I saw it posted on the local metalworkers club mailing list. Since it didn't run on fuel some of the guys weren't impressed. Those that weren't impressed have built a few model engines that do. One of them even makes the tiny spark plugs for them (1/4"-3/8" tall).
I should add, I was impressed regardless of what it runs on!

Just the lack of vibration in that mass of parts is impressive alone.
Many moons ago I was wandering around on the sales floor of a Honda motorcycle dealership looking at a new CB550-F(our). A salesman walked over and opened up a set of double doors to the parking lot. Then he came over and grabbed the bike and backed it up to the open doors. He asked me if I had a nickle in my pocket.
I gave him a nickle and he stood it up on end on top of the fuel tank cap. He hit the starter button and wrapped up the throttle several times and I bought the bike.
I'm pretty sure my wife (then girlfriend) fell asleep on the back of that bike more than once on long rides.
I have to admit though, when looking at some of the blown and injected miniature V-8 models on YouTube, it stirs something in my blood.

Is that not the scariest thing or what?

Yep! Thank goodness for sissy bars. That was a really comfortable bike to ride. A little too comfortable apparently.
But.... I'm getting off track and off topic.
