@blkcolas Take a look at "The Miser" engine (kits are/were available from Jerry Howell), They can run off of a small differential temperature in either direction depending upon if the lower plate is warmer or cooler than the top plate. I have some of the larger parts machined for one but am leery of machining the tiny parts enough to keep finding other things to make. There are commercial fans out there to mount on a wood stove to circulate the hot air.---don
@blkcolas Thank you for looking at the video. Yes a way to increase the usable torque from the engine would be to gear it down by belts and sheaves or chain and sprockets. Another way to acquire more power is to increase the size of the pistons but this would also use more air or increase the pressure which would also use more air.---don
WHY NOT POWER IT FROM AN AIR TEMP DIFFERENTIAL that is natural like say heat from underground to the ambient above ground temp or use a solar array to heat the air?
@xxx777aaa Thank you for looking at the video. Wow! You sure ambitious! Remember that this is just a model..Your idea would generate some pressure, possibly enough for a big friction free engine to run but probably not enough to extract any usable power to run much of anything. What you suggest would approach a Sterling cycle engine, they run but have a low power output. The collector would be quite large and elaborate to compress the air enough to get any power out of it.-----don
@FEAR6655: Thank you for looking at the video. You made me look! I think the knocking you hear at about 50 seconds into the video is just the base bouncing on the table top, I hope!--------don
@1000900903 Thank you for looking at the video. The cylinders oscillate or wiggle a bit as the piston/rod moves around the crank pin. This moves the inlet ports and the exhaust ports to their needed positions for letting air in or out of the cylinder. Thus I think you could say it is timed by the crank pin position. That is what makes a oscillating engine so simple as long as you get the ports to line up with the cylinder on it's swinging positions. Clear as mud, huh?----don
@327409427 Thank you for looking at the video. I would think this engine could run a model airplane if you had a big enough pressurized air supply. Many model boats were powered by oscillating double acting engines but they had a small boiler on board. I believe you might find something on these being raced mostly in England in the mid 1900's by model makers using flash steam boilers.------don
@kirby7979 Thank you for looking at the video. There are many model radial engines (mostly aeronautic) around in the model engineering shows.

@felipecorporation Thank you for looking at the video.

@fordbroncodave Thank you for looking at the video. Actually the way this engine works the forces on the rod part of the pistons is fairly linear when the power is coming from the piston end and not very much side force is transmitted to the rod.------don

Hello - you inspired me to create my own! :D i'm going to use old mamod steam engines - take the piston assembly off them and then hook the pipes up - file down the other end of the piston rod ( bit which goes on the fly wheel) so they all fit on the one rod without bending left or right, hook up some small air pipes and it should fire right up! :D

@parkerdjte i do not have a lathe or the materials needed to make decent pistons - if you could make me some pistons - i would be more than happy to buy them from you?
@bugz000 All you need to make pistons is some 1/4" diameter brazing rod cut to length and the rod end filed to thickness and drilled for the crank pin. That is how I made mine.------------don

(as a request!)
@bugz000 @ bugz000: Go to a welding supply store and get some 1/4" diameter brazing rod and cut it to length. File the rod ends of the "pistons" to a flat from each side to the required thickness and drill for the crank pin. I left the rod end 1/4" wide and about 1/8" or a little more thick, this can be done with a file. (===) This makes the hole for the crank pin much easier to drill. No need for a lathe on these parts, just a hacksaw,file and drill. ----don
@Braeden123698745 Thank you for looking at my video. I have a 33 gallon Craftsman 2 HP compressor in the garage and I run the hose into the shop when needed. The model does not require much air though as the cylinders are quite small, only 1/4" diameter and the stroke is a little less than 1", so not much air consumption and I like to run it slow to see the action anyways so am using a low pressure.
@factorythai Thank you for looking at my video. I build these kind of engines for fun only not to sell, sorry. As mentioned in previous comments I gave the site where plans could be seen and copied if desired.
need to make the struts/shocks on cars little compressors and just start making bumpy roads then we wont need gas any more just a good push/bounce to get moving
@tintinfan007 Thank you for looking at my video. The plans for this engine (without my slight modifications ) is at ----npmccabe.tripod.com/ezengine.htm--- I added ball bearings on both sides of the flywheel for more stability.
Respond to this video... The plans for the original engine are from the site-------npmccabe.tripod.com/ezengine.htm------ I made a couple of slight exceptions, such as adding ball bearings to both sides of the flywheel for stability and longevity and modified the air supply manifold to be more compact.
@MrBurnTec Thank you for looking at the video. The power in this engine is quite small as it is just a model to show the concept ( pistons are only 1/4" in diameter ). The power could be increased with larger diameter pistons , but this would also demand more air from the compressor so not a very useful engine for doing any amount of useful work.
@parkerdjte Do you think there is a version that could work to power a scooter? Considering you would only really be able to carry a Scuba-tank sized air canister, you air supply would be limited to that. Are you able to measure the Nm output of the one in the video?
muy muy buen trabajo PARKER nosotros trabajamos con motores trifasicos y y encontrado que no es fácil el hacer energía con cualquier cosa por regla se debe de vencer de 4 a 6 hp de fuerza mecánica con 700 o 1000rpm para que sea viable y creo que tu trabajo v por buen camino no tendrás dificultad en ponerle un generador que alimente al sistema y te sobre energía ya seap para cargar bancos de batieras o directo saludos
@sliksQQ Thank you for looking at my video. This technology is very simple but also very inefficient as you need a compressor or boiler to supply the air or steam at a high enough pressure to be able to draw power from the engine to run anything. The amount of fuel to produce power at a gas or diesel engine is much less than that of the fuel for a compressor or boiler and much more portable.
@parkerdjte thanks for explaning , seems like you really do learn something new everyday...guess we're stuck with petrol for now , eh? oh well things could be worst..
@parkerdjte That's not entirely true. The compressed air engine is inefficient, but a well designed steam engine can easily best a standard piston engine and be so clean as not to need a catalytic converter to boot. Steamers burn at higher temps and higher efficiency. It's just that development stopped when the internal combustion engine came online. With the tech then, steam was a tough nut to crack. Not so today but it's too late.

do you know how much pressure is exerted on the piston each time to reach that type of rpm? Do you know of any proportion of air pressure released on piston to rpm? thanks, and nice vid
@PimpXXXGuitarist : Thanks for looking at the video. I have made double acting oscillating engines but you must make inlet and exhaust ports on the other side of the pivot point and have a gland to seal around the rod. Many designs have been made this way on the more complex engine models and it does improve the power but also increases the use of compressed air to run them.----don
i can see this working on a car maybe like another 3 cylinders with a bigger bore, and cylinder a customized crank shaft and a lot more air it might just be able to produce enough power
from my knowledge of the drawing there must be only one port in cylinder that also i dont know whether its exhaust or inlet.and now in standard also its not given were the two 0.07 holes are to be drilled and also whether the hole from side[0.07 .51dp]is to intersect with the main exhaust port of the right side or only upto the 0.07,.26dp please reply fast...
actually we have made the cylinder and engine and dont know how to proceed
Note concerning the two 0.07" holes in the right side drawing above. The hole on the right is "thru"....this is the exhaust port. The hole on the left is ".26 deep". It intersects another 0.07" that is drilled in from the side (and is .51 deep). These two intersecting holes form the intake port. The side hole (the one that is .51 deep) should be tapped 10-32 at it's "mouth". This is where the air supply connectors thread in. can un please exlain me this in detail
@3535jumper : Thank you for your interest. The exhaust for each cylinder is out the back of the stationary support arm. It has a inlet port and a exhaust port to atmosphere for each arm that line up with a port into the cylinder depending on the swing position the cylinder is in. Actually it is just 3 oscillating engines on a single crank shaft.
@DownBy5ive Thank you for looking at my video. The engine is three oscillating engines driving one crank. Each cylinder has 2 holes in the stationary part and 1 hole in the cylinder. The cylinder takes in air from one of the ports and the cylinder swings the other direction the hole in the cylinder is uncovering the exhaust port. Simple but inefficient, as there is no way to adjust the duration of the inlet or exhaust as they could on other types of engines -----------don
@parkerdjte ah i see. i think if you put your head to it you can find a way to make it more efficient. i wanted to ask how did you make the parts for this as im planning to build one similar.
@MaximusMountain : Thank you for your interest. I think I was running it slow and the pressure was about 5psi, more pressure would give more RPM. The output power is quite minimal as the pistons are only 1/4" Dia. It was built from plans on McCabe's model engine site and slightly altered by me as to using ball bearings and a outer bearing to make the crankshaft more stable.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
good job make it power a car genrator and charge batterys and you will have another free energy machine but don't tell anyone just make and sell them trust me
@IMPERIALILLUMINAT it wouldent work. it could be an assist to make it run longer but any drag from the bearings would make it eventualy stop. even air restinstance on the flywheel will make it stop plus many other countless things
and were were you bright spark when they invented the sewing machine they could have used that in the old days could have run a compressor off of a push bike lol.
The 3 cylinder engine is really no more than three separate oscillating engines on a single crank on the end of the shaft. The inlet is through a passage way in each backing plate for the cylinder and the exhaust is out the side of the backing plate also.
yes the pistons are 1/4" brass rod and the "rod" ends are the same piece but milled flat on both sides to give enough clearance on the crankshaft pin for all three piston/rods.
Great work, it appears to run very smoothly. I am not able to try this idea out, but you have a setup very close to what i have in my head.
Basicly, you have air go into the first cylendar, and when it pushes out, it goes into a 2nd one timed just right for it to be intaking. This way you keep the power from the air passing by for a longer time. In your setup, i would guess if my idea is efficent, it would use 1/3 the air, but i could be very wrong.
thank You for the interest. I just got from for the hospital and am still on painkillers. This engine is really a simple 3 cyl oscillator each cyl is exhausting back to atmosphere, (no compounding, therefore, not very efficient)
I thought it looked like a nice engine so I made a few minor adjustments to fit my ideas and built it. Pretty good plans and a interesting engine to watch. If I remember many arts were made of keystock and flat plate.
i hope your better, i miss your great creations. from a former addict of pain killers (leg surgery) and former smoker. PLEASE avoid pain drugs as best you can, they make your life hell and i dont want to see another human's life tormented by them
I think it would use 1/3 of the air, but would require 3 times the pressure to get the same amount of power, therefore needing about the same amount of energy.
This design came from the same site that the Mc Cabe Runner came from I believe it it is called the "Three Sisters Engine Nice running engine, self starting and I put a out rigger bearing also with ball bearings on the crankshaft to help it run smoother. I did a little sweating making the flywheel but it could be made much simpeler way if desired.
nice engineering, and yes...u don't have to thank everyone for watching, thank you for making this engine and putting video on youtube :)

@parkerdjte true, true... just a thought ; )
So, would be a way to improve power without having to build twice as much... ; \

i can see this working on a car maybe like another 3 cylinders with a bigger bore, and cylinder a customized crank shaft and a lot more air it might just be able to produce enough power

from my knowledge of the drawing there must be only one port in cylinder that also i dont know whether its exhaust or inlet.and now in standard also its not given were the two 0.07 holes are to be drilled and also whether the hole from side[0.07 .51dp]is to intersect with the main exhaust port of the right side or only upto the 0.07,.26dp please reply fast...
actually we have made the cylinder and engine and dont know how to proceed
narutochisasu 1 year ago
Note concerning the two 0.07" holes in the right side drawing above. The hole on the right is "thru"....this is the exhaust port. The hole on the left is ".26 deep". It intersects another 0.07" that is drilled in from the side (and is .51 deep). These two intersecting holes form the intake port. The side hole (the one that is .51 deep) should be tapped 10-32 at it's "mouth". This is where the air supply connectors thread in. can un please exlain me this in detail

I don't see any valves. Having a little difficulty understanding how it operates without valves for the exhaust air.
3535jumper 1 year ago
@3535jumper : Thank you for your interest. The exhaust for each cylinder is out the back of the stationary support arm. It has a inlet port and a exhaust port to atmosphere for each arm that line up with a port into the cylinder depending on the swing position the cylinder is in. Actually it is just 3 oscillating engines on a single crank shaft.

@parkerdjte is the air always going into the piston or is it like timed?
DownBy5ive 6 months ago
@DownBy5ive Thank you for looking at my video. The engine is three oscillating engines driving one crank. Each cylinder has 2 holes in the stationary part and 1 hole in the cylinder. The cylinder takes in air from one of the ports and the cylinder swings the other direction the hole in the cylinder is uncovering the exhaust port. Simple but inefficient, as there is no way to adjust the duration of the inlet or exhaust as they could on other types of engines -----------don

@parkerdjte ah i see. i think if you put your head to it you can find a way to make it more efficient. i wanted to ask how did you make the parts for this as im planning to build one similar.

few questions, what kind of PSI were you running it on? What kind of power can you get off of it? Do you have any CAD models of it?
MaximusMountain 1 year ago
@MaximusMountain : Thank you for your interest. I think I was running it slow and the pressure was about 5psi, more pressure would give more RPM. The output power is quite minimal as the pistons are only 1/4" Dia. It was built from plans on McCabe's model engine site and slightly altered by me as to using ball bearings and a outer bearing to make the crankshaft more stable.

Well that's an air motor now isn't it? Spoiler alert: it is.

good job make it power a car genrator and charge batterys and you will have another free energy machine but don't tell anyone just make and sell them trust me

Connect this with alternator and use 12-220w converter and power the compressor.And it could be Perpetuum.
IMPERIALILLUMINAT 2 years ago
@IMPERIALILLUMINAT it wouldent work. it could be an assist to make it run longer but any drag from the bearings would make it eventualy stop. even air restinstance on the flywheel will make it stop plus many other countless things

Great Job
Can you tell us how the
Pressure is switched in the cylinders?
Thanks.
Art4Law 2 years ago
Art4law: Thank you for looking.
The 3 cylinder engine is really no more than three separate oscillating engines on a single crank on the end of the shaft. The inlet is through a passage way in each backing plate for the cylinder and the exhaust is out the side of the backing plate also.

Are the rods and pistons the same part?
popcatzoo 2 years ago
yes the pistons are 1/4" brass rod and the "rod" ends are the same piece but milled flat on both sides to give enough clearance on the crankshaft pin for all three piston/rods.

Great work, it appears to run very smoothly. I am not able to try this idea out, but you have a setup very close to what i have in my head.
Basicly, you have air go into the first cylendar, and when it pushes out, it goes into a 2nd one timed just right for it to be intaking. This way you keep the power from the air passing by for a longer time. In your setup, i would guess if my idea is efficent, it would use 1/3 the air, but i could be very wrong.
cmd19872002 3 years ago
thank You for the interest. I just got from for the hospital and am still on painkillers. This engine is really a simple 3 cyl oscillator each cyl is exhausting back to atmosphere, (no compounding, therefore, not very efficient)
I thought it looked like a nice engine so I made a few minor adjustments to fit my ideas and built it. Pretty good plans and a interesting engine to watch. If I remember many arts were made of keystock and flat plate.
Thank You----don

I think it would use 1/3 of the air, but would require 3 times the pressure to get the same amount of power, therefore needing about the same amount of energy.

good design, all the other ones look too complicated. i may try building one of my own.
walikai 3 years ago
This design came from the same site that the Mc Cabe Runner came from I believe it it is called the "Three Sisters Engine Nice running engine, self starting and I put a out rigger bearing also with ball bearings on the crankshaft to help it run smoother. I did a little sweating making the flywheel but it could be made much simpeler way if desired.
Good Luck------don
