Project Outcome: Miniature V8 Engine Inspired by Formula 1
Project Description:
This self-initiated project combined his passion for Formula 1 with engineering principles as he set out to design, 3D print, and construct a working miniature V8 combustion engine. Having researched the concept since the previous year, he spent this year bringing the idea to life through detailed study of engine mechanics, component design, and safe handling of fuels, ignition systems, and precision tools. Throughout the process, he deepened his understanding of advanced mechanical systems while applying hands-on problem-solving and engineering skills. The final outcome was a functional miniature V8 engine model that reflected extensive research, technical learning, and a strong connection between his enthusiasm for motorsport and his growing engineering expertise.
