Compressed Air Engine animation

[navishkotwal]

@trickenhead42: dumbo..can't u see a spring -piston arrangement there...when piston moves upwards it pushes the spring outside,therby opening the outlet valve .

[kakojnibud]

Tell me please what is the best and simple program to make animations like that ?

[chuguloco]

Hey this cant work. The compressed air stay inside, so the piston cant return...

[DancingSpiderman]

Nice modification : The Air Sybian

Jelena Jensen will LOVE this

[GamlGandalf]

Isn't it possible to recycle the air after it has passed the part where it spent momentum?

[thewebmaster93]

I'm building one of these from copper to run on stream.

[JunTaoMotorSports]

could just use a impact gun to spin shit instead of all this machining

[insanesk8123]

You can put a hole near the bottom of the piston cylinder that let's the air out after it goes down

[trickenhead42]

where does the air go after it push's the piston down?

[sabriath]

@trickenhead42 : it goes into a massive blackhole that is not visible on this version of the film....obviously. lol

[trickenhead42]

@sabriath you can not be that dum, obviously the air that comes in can't get out, in the video it is showing how the air go's in and not out.

[sabriath]

@trickenhead42 : I was being sarcastic...you asked where the air is going out at...and I said "blackhole" trying to make you laugh and at the same time let you know that I caught the error too.

No need to be mean, I'm on your side.

[trickenhead42]

sorry

[hondayamahafan]

look at my vid to see the exhaust ports its a 1986 tomy engine

[revolutionstudios2]

great design but there is a problem, by using the rod attached to the piston to let air in you will get good power at low rpm but as it increases speed the air being let into the cylinder will decrease resulting in a loss of power, it will also limit its peak rpm

[JDCubed789]

actually, the exhaust is from two small holes in the cylinder just above the piston seal when it is in the down position. However not shown on this vid drawing.

[FernandoPajero]

great!

[joaquinbln]

What is fucking great in that??? What yuou can see is an invention from 250 years ago. Eevery fucking steam engine runs on the same principle or any other engine, i.e. you use the expansion of a pressurized or energized medium in this case compressed to move a piston. But probably one has to be brain-amputated like you to find this "great" or think that is something "new" or even sth that reduces energy consumption.

[FernandoPajero]

Sir, take out your finger of your asshole :)

[joaquinbln]

Well said, Mr Wanker=Pajero.

[christopherhicks82]

Stupid people piss me off^^^^^^^^ joaquinbln=stupid people

[aa64126]

Is the "exhaust" thru that horizontal tube on the left. If not, where is the exhaust?

[Scorge120]

There are 4 exhaust holes located near the bottom of the vertical tube.

[madnesscombat5]

so when the piston goes down far enough the air escapes out small holes in the cylinder? kinda like a stroke?

[johnbunsenburner]

mind making it run for a bit longer, id like to have a nicer view of all the parts, liekthis its over befor you grasp the details

[viktoriomatta]

thanks a lot

[carolmoore]

Tata motors in india is producing first car end of 2009

[Xelmon]

That looks li- *checks info*

Yes it is really damn close to an airhog! Nice animiation :D

[davyjohn23]

if there was enough pressure, and a big enough cylinder, and maybe a few more cylinders would it be able to power a car, i know of other designs but not of this one? would it work?

[VanDeGraaff]

Of course, but you would need a monster supply of pressurized air...

[johnbunsenburner]

not really, i for example have a fix supply of 800psi, as much as i need any time, i am plannign to make an airplane or helicopter fly of a desighn like this...

[TopGunMan]

does anyone know if an airhogs engine can stand 200-300 degree F steam?

[bikercc]

not sure, i still have mine though its really cool

[scotty240sx]

This is an air engine straight out of an air hog toy plane it looks like. To answer the question of where the air exits, there are several small air holes in the cylinder wall (not shown in this model) that allow the pressurized air to exit at the bottom of the piston stroke.

[sixmagpies]

Ah.......

[nyshooter94]

nice what program and whre can i get it.

[xato909]

and of where air goes out? -_-"

[k0ent]

great, but wheres the exhaust? cause the air pressure also needs to get out somehow when used

[Kaspall]

Yeah, thanks for the mechanism, I built a working one...with LEGO!!!!

[sb6lb3]

i wonder if you do that with exahuast holes similar to that of a uniflow steam engine, you may get the simplest yet form of a steam engine

[warmingtone]

This is a cool vid, thanks!

Every time people come up with alternatives, the conspiracy theories come out. Air power is well worth investigating but the power is not free. However, an empty tank is a better storage device than toxic batteries and compressor technology widely available.

The beauty is that what is to stop people compressing their own air? It also centralizes the power generation...so if the electric industry were to be cleaned up...perhaps a winner.

Nice demo of the principle!

[Triple88a]

the toxic batteries are much more efficient man. Also they are fully recyclable :).

You have to compress the air which is still electricity.

Basically you store electricity then run it only once through a much more efficient (electric) motor while with air.. you run it twice in an inefficient motor. Once to compress it, then second time to run it and power your car.

[mrgolfcar]

Did that need to be all in caps?

[Triple88a]

You can clearly see he screwed up.  He had the caps locks on. This is why everything that is suppose to be with capital letters is little ones and everything that's suppose to be with little letters is capitals :D

[nbm34]

WHY WOULD NOT A TESSLA TURBINE DO THE SAME WITH COMPRESSEDED AIR.

it seems COMPPRESSED AIR IS THE SOLUTION AND THE TECHNOLOGY UNDISPUTABLE. tHE PROBLEM IS DOES ANYONE THINK THE GOVERNMENT WILL LET YOU HAVE EVEN AIR FREE.

IN BRITAIN WE PAY 85% TAX ON FUEL. THE STATE

LEGALISES THEFT. iT WILL DO THE SAME WITH AIR OR GET MONEY OUT OF IS INCREASING TAXES JUST FOR THE USE OF AN AIR CAR. eITHER WAY NONE OF US WILL SERIOUSLY BENIFIT FROM AIR CARS OTHER THAN THE POLLUTION ADVANTAGE.

[0ddba11s]

We pay 300% TAX on fuel in the UK the tax costs more than the fuel by about 3 times hence 300% it was 400% once. Yes we pay near 4 times as much as the US. Labour want a satellite road tax system so they can debit straight out your bank, then lose the account info every few months. Why do we pay a road congestion charge because labour imported millions of people to make the country congested so they could tax us more. Also cheap labour for big business and the banks we all work for.;-)

[jaekib]

I'd say that sums it up nicely. I feel for you Brits. That hyper-taxation (fuel and other) must put a serious drag on your economy!  You'll have to get lucky, find a gang of good guys to run for election and get some changes through. How do they say it, "Throw the bums out!" :^P

Good luck,

H

[0ddba11s]

I think we do have one party that could sort all this out,(BNP)they are not perfect but what is in this life. Many would think me way off the mark for promoting the BNP over here but that is because the UK press is supported by anti BNP support that print lies and hide the truth. It's hard to find the truth when there are so many prepared to hide it, and the general population who doesn't want to believe it.

[aleckermit]

What they need to make is a compressed air engine that sucks in more air as it uses it up. For example it could have an air compressor attached to the back end of the car compressing air into the air tank as it is being driven. A constant loop if you will.

That way you would never have to "fill up".

Copyright aleckermit ;p

[fangus503]

Physically impossible. The first layers of overunity have barely been peeled. Friction, along with gravity, makes such a concept impossible. perpetual motion machines are not of this world yet.

[jaekib]

But nice that you try.

[slh950]

Its a shame the spring isnt mounted underneath the piston somehow.

That would maximize the efficiency of airflow.

[randomguy9898]

isn't the program 3ds max like a couple thousand dollars?

[mxjf]

not if you use a keygen:)

[GoldenElite]

HAI ALEX

[kougra1314]

the thing is on airhogz type motors or type a as i like to call them have no exhaust.Or do they escape through a gap and out the big back tube?

[randomguy9898]

i have one next to me right now, that is an upsidedown representasiton of one, the top tube fill the tank, not exsaust.

[fldz]

Cool. I take it exhaust vents just like a two-stroke.

[yonaoimete]

Nice but too fast.
