"v-12 engine with compressed air injection,hand made using taditional
methods:12 cm3 of displacement,the diameter of the cyllinder is 11,3 
mm,the
stroke of the pistons 10mm,it works with only 0,1kg/cm2.Is 
constructed with
stainless steel,aluminum and bronze.Patelo dedicate 
this engine to his
grandchildren:Sara,Carmen,Jose and Pablo.This engine

Eric -
Since his only objective here is to get the motor running (i.e. there's no
power rating needed), he could simply time the intake and exhaust valves to
approximate a standard two stroke cycle.  All he'd need to do is get in just
enough fuel on the downstroke to keep the engine turning.  The cycle would be
upstroke > spark > fire > TDC > piston starts going down > exhaust opens ~ 20
deg ATDC and then closes shortly thereafter, then intake opens in the last bit
 to get just enough fuel in before going back up on the upstroke.  If you
note, the flywheel is quite big for this motor which suggests it might need
the inertia to keep the engine running because it is too week.
