Its an air motor. Runs on compressed air. No combustion. Interesting that they machined main bearing journals all the way along the crank & none were fitted. Chances are that if an either/kero mix was sprayed in the inlet with the air, provided the crank didnt break, it would run without needing compressed air. Similar principal to a model aircraft diesel engine.
