#1...VW Beetle/Porsche/Subaru flat boxer engine
#2...Mazda "Wankle" rotary engine, made famous in the RX-7. What a fun engine to drive...silky smooth and high revving
#5...Radial engine such as common in some WWI and WWII era planes
Looking around the 'web for a few minutes..can't find a good one of a Harley Twin Cam 88!

Yeah that Battleship turret is pretty cool.
Always loved the flat twin BMW engine, like the R90s models. Would love to find an old one and fix it up.
I remember as kid that was into modeling, my dad got me that Revell Visible V-8 model you put together and it was battery powered and moved.

I have a bunch of
motors on my shelf. I’ve been thinking about putting one of those visible motors together with my son.

The BMW is a wasted spark motor, which is common, the spark plug fires on the power and exhaust stroke.
