Those really are amazing little engines!

Also referred to as a "Mini Wiggers", which I can definitely see why, and with the high-speed action being too fast for the camera, you don't even need to go slo-mo to see the wonderful motions of this little gem!

Just a tip that makes running most of these little engines easier for me is that I drill out the burner's vent hole just enough to allow my smallest syringe needle to go in, so I don't have to fiddle with unscrewing and re-screwing the lid for every run!
