I own a model engine, named 'Merlin', which is 0.76cc displacement.

It has a stroke of almost exactly 1cm, and runs beautifully at around 12,000 rpm.

I believe there is another model, 'Dart', of 0.5cc displacement.

As these were commercially made, I am sure there are many other engines, some experimental, which are very much smaller than this.
