Air Engine v2

[madjimms]

Now hook it up to a real compressor & watch the fun!

[TopARO]

@madjimms Haha! Yeah, this thing would fly!

[madjimms]

@TopARO Do you have other stuff like this?

[TopARO]

@madjimms Yes I do. Check my page. I have 3 other engines like this.

[Twistedpung1]

that one rly sucked, i mean gear it up a little so you get some speed.

[Alexandar1995]

@Twistedpung1

No one ever drove Formula 1 races with LEGO engines. This one is for fun,not for actual usage.

[loadedlover12]

@Alexandar1995 lol he legos would melt

[Alexandar1995]

@loadedlover12

Your brain did.

[loadedlover12]

@Alexandar1995 did you pull that one out of your ass too

[Alexandar1995]

@loadedlover12  xD

[endrachwer]

[AtvProjects]

Version 2...

[choosea44]

ow you maked that

[balls2yourface]

dude is that lego

[TopARO]

That it is.

[cocopopchoc]

i no how awsum is this

[forketo4]

i designed this type engine when im 12year old

[TopARO]

Cool. Same here, this is one of my older models. I made one about a year ago with only one cylnder.

[rotias1993]

v2? its a 2 cilinder not a v2

[TopARO]

lol. I've said this to many people. It's "version 2" not a V2. This one is the 2nd version out of 3 that I made.

[sheik480]

I like it:) Have you tried making an engine without pneumatics? They're fun.

[TopARO]

Awesome!

[sheik480]

Indeed.

[TopARO]

Of course!

[sheik480]

How long is going to go on?

[sheik480]

*this*

[TopARO]

How long would you like to continue it. I have posted some long comments...

[sheik480]

I never doubted that.

[TopARO]

Exactly

[randomguy9898]

lol my lego pnuematic engine went way slower.

[crgio13]

everybody said everything already, i just can say congratulations!!!

[TopARO]

XD A lot of people like this one.

[BobBobGobGob]

To those of you who are pessimistic when seeing this:

You're right. This Lego creation alone won't do anything. It won't power a car, but you're forgetting one very important thing. This is where it begins. Young minds like his is the start of a new era. Thinking in new ways that other people could never have imagined. A cleaner, green era that begins with little Lego creations like this.

[TopARO]

Thank you! Finally some one who gets the point of people my age playing with legos! Most little kids 5-12 play with legos for fun. Usually past 12 it becomes an entirely different learning expeience!

[airengine3000]

Well said and well done!

[TopARO]

Thanks? Just kidding. Check out v3!

[azerrlight]

where did you get your pneumatics from?

[TopARO]

They came from the backhoe turck kit.

[mabrekl]

hey, do you know a webside where i can get the 8455 backhoe (cheap)??? ore any pneumatic sets

thank

[TopARO]

Mmm... Try Ebay. Other than that, I wouldnt know.

[cbass2008]

What size reservoir do you use to power the two pistons, is it the lego one or a custom made tank? Have you figure out the optimal pressure for the system?

Thanks

Sebastian

[TopARO]

It's a pill bottle. Uh, Ive tries different models and the v3 is the fastest. I'm not quite sure, but I think this one is the optimal for speed and power.

[enadon1]

can you show me how you made it?

[fred21679]

whats the point?

[TopARO]

There is no point. Whats the point of you watching if your going to say its pointless?

[trahcceb]

most people who play with this stuff turn into marvellous inventers that may oneday fix our fossil fuel crisis and all other problems like that. Take a look at the first car ever built, it looks like junk but spawned alot of stuff you rely on today. So stop the numb brain criticism and think about what your looking at.

[gogugogu]

lol , lego became a toy for grown ups

[TopARO]

Sure did!

[NemesisCarClub]

The best motor out no chaging it up i want one

[TopARO]

They are fun to make. Teaches the basics of a 2 stroke engine.

[wolih]

Genius! Personally I never reached to having one of those "hydraulic" leg pieces myself, but, HUGE creation! Congratulations!

[Centrifugalsparks]

Cute lil thing!

[TopARO]

ya...

[Centrifugalsparks]

I like it. nice job

[reded20]

Forgot to say i gave it 5 stars, nice engine!!

[reded20]

Any plans on doing instructions for this, even if they are very basic it would still be nice. i have something i would like to put this engin in. thanks.

[GANTZ100pts]

Nice little Air Engine Model, any plans on making a full scale powered engine to add to cars or Bikes?

[TopARO]

na, just a small project of mine. Although it would be cool to run one on hydrogen...

[dietcoke3396]

Thats not a V2 its an inline 2 or L2

[TopARO]

No, it means version 2. Not a V2 engine. This it the second version of this pneumatic motor I have made.

[dietcoke3396]

oh SORRY

[TopARO]

Its ok.

[legonoitall]

i noticed that when you type this V8 it means the motor type then when you do a llowercas v it means version like v8 wierd

[TopARO]

basicly, ya

[jbarryt2007]

where do you get the pneumatic pieces? ive looked everywhere and cant find anything

[wrrider128]

are those legos. lol. nice

[TopARO]

Ya, thet are.

[wrrider128]

the power of legos solves global warming.

[TopARO]

uh, sure...

[corght]

Where does the air comes from (source)?

[TopARO]

a hand pump from an airhogs toy just off screen

[TopARO]

thanx

[atomicboy222]

awsomwe ilove the engine you should read the book "boys book of engine building" it teaches how to make steam engines.

[kougra1314]

I whana read it first! how much is it

[atomicboy222]

on ebay you can find it for $18.50 flat thats with ship i got it from amazon but amazon is not as cheap as ebay but its a good book on steam engines.
