AMAZiNG MOVMENT & well executed wood replica. I found another video of explaining a similar radial engine, THE ROTARY:

On the rotary engine instead of having a fixed cylinder block with rotating crankshaft as with a conventional radial engine, the crankshaft remains stationary and the entire cylinder block rotates around it. Another difference: the RADiAL engine is a 4 STROKE
(cilinders fire every two turns of the crankshaft) but the ROTARY is a 2 STROKE engine
(cilinders fire every turn of the crankshaft), & the lubricating oil is mixed in the gasoline. Since it was impossible to add an exhaust stack, exhaust was delivered into the slipstream... that hit the face of the pilot!! Castor Oil was used for engine lubricant &... to evacuate pilot bowels!! Dawn patrol ended at the WC
Starting rotarys, had its own risks:
