    Mesmerizes me, as these things always do. Amazing. But one question -- where was the spark coming from for this to run on it's own? It had fuel, but no spark. I don't understand.

    I think that it is running on compressed air. But what I want to know is what oil is he using to keep that thing from seizing?

    Alot of those minature engines run off compressed air. If you take the time to look you can find real ones running off fuel with real ignition systems. Below are a few that I have favorited from youtube.
