Air Engine

[camiemengineer]

Are you involved in research - or just building for the fun of it - or are you seeking to/already commercialising this air motor? If the latter is the case how can one get in touch with you?

[Bloxkorner]

i got an idea!! make an airplane!!:D

[Lehcim1995]

now put you tongue in it :D

[islandfireballkill]

@atomikus37 you read my mimd

[SickAssSyke1]

pistons dont move, who you trying to fool

[35Berrin]

i shot 210psi into mine..

[mrbigrocky1]

ur 2 high tecky



[FANADICALCOWHEAD]

heh sounds like an old volks diesel.

[Crysis9800]

Start sound <3 !!!!!!

[arnoldaszlt]

one BIG QUESTION!!! HOW DID YOU MADE CYLINDERS OIL LUBRICATION???

[chaosorr]

beautiful it look like made in a fabric

[branders2589]

i was thinking that it was on gonna lift of, nice thing there

[ranoldoe]

wow, it's so quiet, and stable. Great job, it's beautiful.

[bijtheman]

do you know how much pressure is released on the piston each time to reach that speed? How many rpm was that? nice vid by the way

[oneeyedude20]

Ok question. Why spend the money on something u can never put in a rc plane??

[aForkandaSpoon]

@oneeyedude20 He could actually, just needs a small CO2 canister probably about 10 oz on a servo controlled valve.

[Timmusicify]

@aForkandaSpoon can you please tell me how i can power a small car using CO2?

[aForkandaSpoon]

@Timmusicify sure, just buy a paintball co2 canister, paintball co2 regulator, and a valve. Put the valve between the engine and the regulator and there you go. Use about 50 -100 psi I would assume, start at 20 to be safe. If you need to actually do the mod on the engine here is a good video for a larger one. watch?v=hwgQsF18NVM&feature=re­lated

[Timmusicify]

@aForkandaSpoon Thanks!

[Timmusicify]

@aForkandaSpoon i'll try this out!

[Timmusicify]

@aForkandaSpoon sorry, i forgot to mention one thing. My car model doesn't use an engine, the co2 comes from the reaction between 10g of baking soda and 40ml ethanoic acid. Is there any way i can power a small car through 5 metres with that? And thanks a lot for your reply!

[aForkandaSpoon]

@Timmusicify Could try it the same way, you would still need a little engine, but when your reaction occurs, its like vinegar and baking soda right, you would just use that pressure instead of compressed gas. You would need probably a 2 L bottle with the base filled to the seem with baking soda, then add about a cup and a half of acid. You may wan't something the acid will eat through between it and the base so the reaction doesn't occur before the cap is on.

[Timmusicify]

@aForkandaSpoon sorry but we're not allowed to use engines. There's also a maximum amount of vinegar and baking soda which we're allowed to use. 10g baking soda and 40ml vinegar. I've been having problems trying to move it. But thanks for your last idea, i was having trouble with that too.

[aForkandaSpoon]

@Timmusicify Ok, Get a syringe as big as you can. It is were your reaction will occur, try to go for a skinny long one instead of a wide short one (don't take the in the wrong way) Attach a string to the end and wrap it around an axle. As the piston of the syringe extends it pulls on the string turning the axle and moving the car.

[Timmusicify]

@aForkandaSpoon That's an amazing idea, i would never have thought of that! Thanks a lot! I've been trying to make it move for about a week now.

[aForkandaSpoon]

@oneeyedude20 actually regarding my last comment, this engine looks big enough to handle a 20 oz paintball canister.

[applxperience]

I bet if you put that tube in your ass you'll be thrust to the outer space faster than that propeller on the table!

[chuguloco]

man, can you explain the steps of the circumferential motion? i need to know how the air enter and exit. where the air comes out?

[PlasmaTwister]

betcha that thing could power a prius XD

[ControveryRising]

You need to use it to drive a generator and see if you can then run a compressor. would be interesting to see if there is a significant loss of energy. Some have claimed that a generator will produce enough to run the compressor and then some.

[MatachinMST]

@ControveryRising "You need to use it to drive a generator and see if you can then run a compressor. would be interesting to see if there is a significant loss of energy. Some have claimed that a generator will produce enough to run the compressor and then some."

???? O.o

This would be called perpetual motion. And is impossible. No one would claim to have done this. Fucktard

[bonnieboy53]

can you send me the blue prints?

[flugfahrrader]

Regarding the power output, that engine was able to push itself, the base and the air hose with a rotational direction backwards from the propeller. If the engine turned in the other direction, then real thrust must be possible.

[ramicaza]

awesome, cant wait for my cnc too

[Pyronics]

AWESOME project!!! A+

[chuguloco]

Please man, i need to know how do you control the air injection in each piston. Thank you very much!

[onefastcavi]

@chuguloco on an ICE, the air isnt injected into the cylinder. Air is pulled in by the piston going down and creating a vacuum.

[RFTAEC100]

@onefastcavi This is not an Internal Combustion Engine... And this engine NEEDS to get perfect timing of air injection to work, otherwise it will kick.

[ProPoPlayer]

Hello, thats awesome what you've made or bought ,,, could you explain how to get this, buy it or build it, and if build it, where to get the parts? Thank you id really appreaciate it , id like to do a school project on reinventing the steam airplane which includes the mechanism of an air car.

Thank you

[commanderplyers]

you really should attch that to a boiler, make it a steam engine, then see if it can fly

[DancingSpiderman]

You oughtta sell the concept to Ron Popeil... a device, that SUCKS and BLOWS at the same time

Serious note: Very nice design effort ! Kudos, Terry !

[MrCongate]

great, know all you need is a compressor for the air.

[offspringfanman96]

lubrication?

[jewishcrimenetwork]

Impressive. I wish I could learn your skills.

[aerobatic500]

Cool motor,, your propeller is running backwards tho.,, but not that it matters. lol

[baaztube]

Sir i like ur creation very much. i also want to make or purchase this. will u pls guide or help me. Pls reply.

[chicknoob2010]

i think air engine isn't useful for everythings because you neeb a power by Pneumatic

[fahidkapur]

hello..sir..its a great piece of art..i was wonderdering...if you can help me making one..kindly..reply..! thankyu!

[gizmoguyar]

Wow that sounds really nice. Do you know any specs about it? what the Rpm was? How much pressure it was at? Torque?

[bontromium]

nice



[nadeem5476]

thts useless , no work can  b done with this little power.

[donahuerules]

where can i get one 

[1971SuperLead]

Now if you attached a motor to the output shaft and spun it backwards...wouldn't it become a compressor and refill the air tank?

[legox50]

This is the best radial engine in my opinion!

[luisbeck007]

Hi you can watch my website with the most complete Humanoid Robot list in the World and interesting issues...

[Canadafuckyeah]

Excellent job!

[satvikjadhav4]

whre can you make this kind of things plz reply back!

[vguerra76]

awesome!!!!

[superfunnyman123]

how does the valve work?

[lastravenable]

Awesome!!!

[Tomthetoolman100]

who farted lol

[xPunkRockDamn]

how it works..

can explain the concept..?

i'm in a middle of project which needs to design an air motor..

something like this but only with 3 cylinders..

conceptual design is helpful though..

[aikaslbab]

It work like gasoline engine.

[19BlackLord91]

this takes years of university study not just any fag in home can do this

[madnesscombat5]

what kind of classes do you suggest.

[DodgeD150guy]

@19BlackLord91 really? shit I better throw mine out and go to university... I mean I am a Tool and Die Maker and Precision Machinist but i never went to school for it... does that mean i did it wrong?

[sixzerosdotcom]

wow this thing is pretty.. imagine if it were running from a 9ftx9ft solar concentrator, focused on a pressure cooker/boiler.

[CBMXX]

upgrade steam angine?

[cutenukkah]

max it out

[robotpredator8]

nice how did u make this?can u make a video and show me?

[SR722]

Radial engines nearly always look and sound great, and this one is no exception.

[shadowhunter45s]

Unless your a master macinest you wont be able to

[wiz2111]

That's actually a really neat design

[Tecnogas69]

usually i dont like air engines, but this one is cool ^^

[CFrostyTheSnowman]

Any idea on power output?

[Chevypower265]

I'm gonne be like Dave, "Take er' to redline YAAAA" lol...Really though, its a great little engine you've got there!

[KMnO4dalla]

Very Nice!

[cek100]

great +nice looking :)

[beethoven02]

how much thruse does that thing give

[denmarkguy1]

that sounds sweet

[fangus503]

that thing sounds cool.

[fre2fly]

what kind of valves does it use?

[TheAbrahamlincoln]

I'd think it uses air pistons, just like in a compressor.

[johnpbache]

Now I think you might mean lathe. And I'm pretty sure that seing as you can't even spell lathe, that you probably couldnt use one either ! IT's a smashing model and I'm betting that it took a lot of time to make !

[omrek]

i don't belive that this is home made. it's just too... perfect:D its cool

[lasanders1]

I want one, and by the way, does anyone have any tips on a homemade jet engine?

[lotusiotus]

try using a old turbo for a jet. It might not produce any thrust though.

[pleasejustfixit]

How many psi are you putting into this thing, it is possible to get a small ram air compressor fed by the speed at which it travels, or directly behind the prop to give it circular force - extended range. Possibly hook up a magnetic motor to drive the compressor and you have free motion.

[fangus503]

hahahaha

[filtrete867]

WHY?

[Nabo00o]

Very nice looking and sounding too ;)

[skootb2]

where did u get that

[Xviol]

w3hats the rpm max on it?

[StackApp]

yeah looks great 5*

[Bandicoot803]

Five Star rating for a five cylinder engine. Awesome work! Awesome engine sound!

[superfunnyman123]

sounded like a fart lol

[CIAAGENT100]

When it first starts, thats the most beautiful sound ever...

[Oamaok]

That sounds freaky!

[k0ent]

what type of engine is it? is it like a co2 engine with a ball at the top of the cyl that gets pushed up every time the piston reaches tdc? please reply

[eddynou]

how does it work if you put it on an air plane?cause wont the air tanks wieght be to heavy?

[gunghojoeno]

He is just displaying a proof of concept that a drive shaft is being propelled by compressed air. You are right in your speculation that it might be infeasible on an airplane but it sure can work in a car, albeit after much improved efficiency to drive a gearbox and wheels.

[s172mch]

that was not easy to make but it pays off!

[Volga2402]

sound nice

[ARR016a]

u mean like a fart a little bit?

[chinadude123]

You know how amazingly cool that is?

Its amazingly cool, thats how. ;p

The fact that it is a miniature radial engine

just makes it that much better, too.

[JakesArnoose]

Love your work. Amazing piece. Is the valve timing done with a rotating vane? Or do you have poppet valves or something?

[chasehuntington]

a big air hogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thumbus2003]

ROFL!

[GeneralAhuja]

Brilliant, will a real sized version work? and how exactly does it work, (im want to build a homemade airplane

[warmingtone]

Yes a work of art and runs so smooth. I love the idle and the lack of vibration plus the clean workmanship is superb.

Now...ask yourselves, why do all the garage "free energy" guys don't scale things down to prove their principles with models like this!

I'd like to know the psi too, but regardless, a work of art!

[alex681219]

how looks like inside?, can you xplain how it works?

[verdaches]

"Superbe"! have you plans of this bautiful machine (i am french!)? regards

[mike4clements]

Beautiful ! What a work of art. You have done well.

[Keveeee2000]

I've been a pilot for years. It seems like compressed air power for an aircraft is a no brainer. The compressed air tanks would weight a lot less than tanks of fuel. You could run all of the electronics with solar on wing mounted panels. The airports would be able to have the compressors needed to refill (making them REAL AIR-PORTS) The motor would become more efficient with altitude. Quiet, clean cheap powerful ... what's not good about that?

[fb2800]

Sorry mate, but 1 liter by weight of compressed air vs 1 litre by weight of petrol is a no contest. The calorific value of 1 litre of Petrol is very very high compared to compressed air. I'd say as and engineer you'd make a great pilot!

[stoffekamm]

nice sound

[TommeyLeeReed]

Nice..Myt rotary i,m still working on.

[sheik480]

I have two things to say:

1) It is definitley not an airhogs engine. I know because he said it's homemade.

2)(This is actually a question) What psi are you running it at?

[shitstickliker1]

could you show me hoow the valving works

[fanofCOH]

how much power does that output?

[michaelmayhugh]

I don't know. The point of building the engine wasn't to create something that would power an airplane or a car. The amount of power produced is irrelevant and I'm sure insignificant. The engine was created as an exercise in using SolidWorks as a design package and a CNC mill to machine it. The engine is a display piece for show, but obviously can also run.

[v12revolver]

um hi this is fanofcoh on a dif account. id imagine yoou could output a small amount of energy and that a damnnice engine. and do you have valves like a 2 stroke or is it a ball type vavle at the top ot the cylinder with a little spike thing on the piston. but niceengine again

[legonoitall]

just say AirHogs style or gasperin style motor because there like the only brands out there that make the Co2 motors with the pin and ball valve

[v12revolver]

o, thanks mate, i did not know what it was called. but i built a 6 cylander engine of the airhog specs. and it outputs 5 hp.

[pointless14]

ive got an air hogs air engine. i want to get an elaectric pump and pump it up to bout 120 psi and see how long it will go untill it breaks - hopefull explode or something along those lines
