[SrpskiMetak]

Ball valve :)

[silentsniper441]

a servo that cut airflow off

[Axbent]

A Co2 cartridge would make it sound for ages !

[reaction1000]

cute little thing:)

[HalfCockedMD]

I haven't seen this design before, was it something you designed yourself?

[Rickydado]

No, the plans for this and other very good engine, are from "Elmer's Engine" book author Elmer Verburg.

[salemcripple]

Looks to be the same type of engine used in those "Air Hogs" air planes that they useto have.

[legonoitall]

na this is ocilating. airhogs has a pin on the cylinder that would push open a valve to let air in on the top stroke.

[DEWGUY333333]

[Rickydado]

Happy to be of some help, and jolly good luck with your engines!

[emp94]

[DEWGUY333333]

i have i small lathe and am looking to build a little steam engine like that but i have a hard time finding plans if anyone could help that would be great.

[SnowyAstra]

Very nice, I like this :-) You should try a rotary air motor, no pistons.

[BigBananaMan]

I'm impressed, this is the smallest micro air engine I've seen yet. Any idea on how much power it puts out? Perhaps you could drive a little boat for hours with a paintball HPA tank and regulator.

[rodri0990]

muy bueno!!!

[blinkybill85]

what is it powered on?

where does the air pressure coming from?

[Rickydado]

For my engines I use the air compressor of my shop. The pressure here is about 0.5 bar.

[alec246]

jeeze thats loud and the other one is very quite

[THEEBGB]

I am assuming i am writing to the maker of this little wonder? Could you tell us the currancy of the coin please so i can figure the scale a little better, i am currently making a 1 and 3/4 inch mini monster.... still some time till compleation though!

[Rickydado]

Hi. Yes I made this little engine. The currency of the coin showing is one Euro and for your reference, the brass base is 1 inch and the total height of the engine included base is 1.38 inch. The flyweel is 0.6 inch, piston is about 0.2 inch

Jolly good luck with your micro mini monster!

[kmostoff]

Cooooooooooool!
