video not working for me.....

i know that coin... eu conheço essa moeda... :D

I'm wondering, is the pivot screw for the pistons completely below the air chamber, or over it somehow?

[Rickydado]

Hi, yes it is below the air chamber.

[DjinnJuggler]

That's not a very large stroke then... I've been making oscillator engines out of Styrene plastic recently, so I'm looking for some ideas worthy of aluminum :P Very nice engine btw.

[Rickydado]

This is a very little engine. Cylinders are made of single alluminium piece with mill and lathe works. As you can see it runs well and smoothly.

Thank you.

[CaptainAburame]

do you know what RPM it got up? are the pistons moving too fast for the camera to see properly?

[superfunnyman123]

do you have plans for this engine?

[LATIMachineTool]

that is a neat little motor.

...what is the largest PSI you have put on it? 30? 50? 2000?

[Rickydado]

About 30 PSI. With this air pressure the engine runs very fast! I can't test it now because I make it for a friend of mine and it is no more in my collection.

[immuki]

ah, i see. well, you did a great job on it and congrats on making something this neat!

[emp94]

can u tell me how to make this plz

[henryneilson]

is it a continus air supply?

if not what do you use to make it oscillate

[Rickydado]

Hi. This is an engine, so if you give it a minimum of 0.5 bar air pressure, it will run; keeping its cilinders oscillating.
