wonderful craftsmanship. I find myself wondering if this could power a model aircraft with a compressed air tank. What a joy that would be to fly. . .silently. Again, thank you for sharing. It is beautiful man!
Use a battery to drive Compressor and the air motor to drive the wheels and charge the battery like an alternator in a car. You would also cut on the emissions of oil refinery as there’s no burning petrol to degrade the oil like in a car where burned/unburned fuel and high level of heat fowls the oil after 15000 k's. gearboxes have same friction i think as engine but the fluid only has to be changed after 120 000 kilometers because of lack of the above mentioned fowling. No emisions at all.
@woodchuckupchuck an air engine may even (dare i say it) be more efficient than an I.C.E. motor.
i would speculate that since the force on the piston is solely from a pressure differential, and not a gas expanding from combustion.
the draw back though is the (fuel) storage. it would go through compressed air rather quickly and there wouldn't be a (in our current technology) a feasible way to store enough to be practical for a car to run off an air motor
@thunder996 and woodchuckupchuck, you guys! an engine and a motor are the same! :/ It doesn't matter what kind of material is used to power up the engine or motor to do mechanical actions. Electricity, water, gasoline, air, you name it.
@JerryGiesler09 you are correct that an engine and motor are essentially the same.
however how the motor is powered greatly determines what it can be used for.
also when talking terms, engine is usually used to describe an internal combustion engine. motor normally is an electric motor. yes they are interchangeable but for the most part the name tends to go with either gas or electricity.
lol why are there cooling fins towards the base of the cylinders?? cant be that much heat with out the combustion... unless its from the pistons but even then i doubt the friction would be substantial enough to generate a great deal of heat... woo! i actually sounded smart :D
@powertour How do you know that it is not being powered by a tea pot or a solar boiler? There is plenty of reasons to create machines to convert pressurized fluids/gas into rotational movement- a fuel burning power plant is a good example.
@EgadsNo There is a reason why you don't see steam powered locomotives anymore. The energy used to make the heat to create the pressure to push the piston involves too many conversions of energy to be efficient. The only way it makes sense, like you say, is to use solar energy, or maybe geothermal heat. A fuel-burning power plant uses a very efficient and high RPM steam turbine to produce rotation to generate power. Piston type engines must be internal combustion to be even remotely efficient.
@powertour i don't know if that's entirly true. i think a well designed, simplified and heavily modular piston engine specifically designed to be run on compressed air could have potential. especially if a wind turbine was used to directly power the compressor to the refilling system.
@powertour Actually it is because of responsiveness and weight issues, why else would the vast majority of power utilites still be using steam if the carnot efficiency was such a huge loss vs a combustion displacement engine.
@EgadsNo dont tell me whit all the technology combine we cant do an evaporation valve .. like an element put in it and when water pass trought it get vaporise by the heat generated ...ând plus the thing is to get enough power to run a generator that would provide all the need in electricity of your house our vehicule .. the thing is its like if no one think of combining solution and technology .. and over all the keep there secret .. so they die with it and we got to rediscover it again
Cool engine. can you give us more information? what pressure you where running it at, what kind of RPM you got, and how much torque you had? It'd be cool to make a small car run off of compressed air.
you can compress the air with a hand pump,for clean energy i wonder if you make the motor compress more air...can you make it efficent enought to run on its own....i am starting at this ,and wont to make experiments with gravaty.i notice wen i put a weight on my bike weel it has a tendency to go 3/4 of a turn of the weel.....1/4 turn need to be aded for the weight to go back on top.....i am convinced with levers and or air and or weight displacement ...the motor can give out more air or etc help
hey buddy, this idea of yours is something me and a few mates argue about all the time. I have 2 mates who are mechanical engineers. and they both shoot me down every time lol.
It's called perpetual motion. And to date there is no way to really make it. There is ALWAYS something behind it. Like electricity still uses something else to produce it. Good luck though there is always a first time.
Excellent! I'm curious if I could use this instead of a fuel powered engine on my RC Trainer aircraft. All I would need is an air compressor to fill up the air tank :)
LOL its cool but all this talk about cars running like this is highly amusing, for one would need a large air compressor run by electric or fuel to drive a air motor big enough to power a car, the motor could not be 100% efficient so you would get out less power than you put in, so you would be better off using the engine/motor you are using to drive the compressor to power the car in the first place lol
You dont have to use an air compressor, instead you can use a carbon or glass fiber tanks of air compression...search on google this link , its a france company that make air cars: Moteur Development International or MDI :)
Its going to take 1 person WITH BIG ASS balls to come out with a efficient design for a air engine and Run the plans on the internet before he gets cought. He wont be able to Gain money off of it but Respect and Praise. then people will demand them being produced.
Air cars ? GREAT.... I AM READY FOR THEM and I'm NOT KIDDING.... and I'm not being sarcastic.
I am just asking you to tell me how this is going to happen without some CEO somewhere telling his Board of Directors and shareholders that there is MONEY to be made by putting these cars out there for sale, providing REFUELING STATIONS all over the place & incurring the HUGE EXPENSES that I spoke of which include:
Wingman DOESN'T STOP just because you don't like the message...And I'd like some OTHER answers that I requested from those who believe that air-powered cars, et cetera are being suppressed by CEO's & others, such as:
(1) WHO is going to spend the MONEY to build the infrastructure ( compressor stations at which to "refuel" these air-cars ) ?
I DON'T NEED MORE RHETORIC....
I NEED ANSWERS....
WHO IS GONNA' PAY FOR THIS ??
THE SAME CEO'S THAT you are crapping all over right now ?
I am back, and my questions which are VALID and are pivotal to the criticism of what I've said, ARE STILL UNANSWERED. (1) I NEVER SAID this "engine" / "motor" was JUNK. (2) I NEVER SAID that BIG OIL is GOOD.... (3) I NEVER SAID that air-powered cars, bikes, douchebags, et cetera were BAD, or were just pipe dreams !! My original questions were and are: (1) What are the NAMES of these air-cars ? (2) Price ? (3) Where are they ? (4) Where's the compressors ? (5) What are THEY powered by ? FACTS...
This is not an engine..... it is the equivalent of the turbine in ANY air-powered device - If you've ever used an air buffer, grinder, drill or whatever, you've used one of these..... just a different form.
just applying what I've been told by the engineering guys I've worked with who ALWAYS corrected us when we spoke of an engine as a "motor" or motor as an "engine". They hold that an "engine" as a device in which there is combustion/expansion exponentially above the ambient ( gasoline vapor introduced at ambient temp & pressure, then ignited ..... steam introduced at one pressure & expanding at a great rate ).
@ragnotgizmo Well... it's a motor and not an engine. And it is not turning the air into anything. The air is not a fuel. The air is simply the conduit of the energy. A fuel is consumed and converted in an engine. A motor is powered by energy from somewhere else. An engine converts a fuel to motion by burning it and applying that expansive force to mechanical (kinetic) energy. Here, the hose supplying the air is exactly the same as a wire carrying electricity to a motor. The air is "electrons".
@OregonDARRYL pressurized air is fuel, its expansive force is making it run, i don't believe you need something to be combusted for it to be called an engine... Steam engine is another example. Aslong as something pressurized is pushing that piston i call it an engine
@08Cuz08 Then all pneumatic tools are engines? I don't think so. They are motors. An engine converts a fuel to energy. A motor uses energy created elsewhere to run. And compressed air is simply a "spring" if you will. Stored mechanical energy. Would you consider a rubber-band powered airplane to be powered by fuel? Only if you consider the food (fuel) you ate to give you the energy to wind the rubber-band.... the food is the fuel. The rubber-band is a "battery"... stored energy.
@08Cuz08 A steam engine BURNS fuel to heat water... it's an engine. Now if the steam comes from say - an underground source.... then it's a motor. This is all actually very simple. If it takes mechanical energy from a compressor and that air is pushed through a hose to a ANY device that moves in any way.... you have a motor. You see this is just a transfer of mechanical energy from the compressor to the device. Just like a wire sends current to a motor.
@ragnotgizmo It is not turning the air into anything. It is not an engine. The air pressure in the hose is just like electrical pressure of electrons in a wire. The energy came from somewhere else. That makes this a motor just like all air-tools. Would you call an air-powered lug-nut wrench and "engine". Of course not. An engine converts one form of energy to another. Like changing the chemical energy stored in gasoline to mechanical energy by burning it and pushing on pistons to turn an engine.
@ragnotgizmo "In some sense of words"... WTF does that mean? It's a MOTOR, not an engine. You can "consider" it an engine... but it is NOT. You can consider it a goldfish if you want - it still won't swim. The air pressure here is like a spring - stored energy. Like a battery. That's what makes this a motor. The mechanical energy is NOT created by this "engine" it is created by the COMPRESSOR - sent through a hose to push on parts of this MOTOR. Mechanical energy to mechanical energy. No engine.
@OregonDARRYL - Shit sorry dude - I just posted a correction for ragsnot-jizmo, I agree with you, and now I see a trail of idiots you have slain - good work.
@tomview1 It would be an engine, if it had air- batteries and it would be driving a machine. Imagine a battery with air in it... and now try to sell it in the market. People would be like - are you nuts? It`s got air in it man!
@tomview1 A compressor needs to be driven to compress air, it needs energy. The air must also be filtered... not convenient at all. I am trying to figure out how you can use this though! It could be used as a pneumatic motor or a transformer from air pressure- energy to kinetic energy... fix some magents here and there with some coils and you got the electric energy!
How does it run? It's not a steam engine, and the compression stroke wouldn't be any use, as there would be no firing of mixture in the next. Does the inlet stroke let in compressed air and the exhaust valve open up on the 'compression' stroke?
perpetual motion is not possible, not in Newtons's world (where WE live).
Not possible due to friction wich becomes heat and so on.Since then you allready have a portion of your initial amount of energy wich had transform in other form of energy but that you can't re-utilize to keep the machine working.
To make perpetual motion you should not have ANY energy spend...i dont know how is that possible to be made."Rare earths" made magnets maybe...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
There is a way and i know how. It's with neodymium magnets. And dont start saying that it is impossible, i know you cant just set them up toward each other on a wheel but there is an other way which will actually work to keep an axel turning. Only thing is that i dont know how much energy the turning axel can deliver without stopping the engine.
for our purposes, no. when someone talks about perpetual motion, they're us, usually only interested in motion that we can take advantage of (ie. do work with). However, the first law of thermodynamics says that energy is conserved, so any energy we get out of a system (an engine lets say) must have come from somewhere, usually by burning a fuel (releasing the energy in the fuel). You cannot get kinetic energy out of a system without converting some form of potential energy.

until a eco-friendly car performs the exact same as a petroleum powered car, we won't be seeing much to them. And they still look like ass. Somebody needs to tell them they *can* make a hybrid car without making it stand out as much as possible from the rest of the cars. I would be assumed gay if I ever sat in a car like Toyota Prius or any electric car.
Beautiful creation, nice work. How is it lubricated?
I love how people say that a compressed air motor is pollution free.
Widen your viewpoint. How do you think that air got compressed in the first place. Right, a dirty great compressor using either elctricity or gas. Bang for bang an air motor is more expensive to run and produces more pollution when you include the prior process of compressing the air, which you MUST do..
Exactly correct, Virgil, people need to start using their heads, and the research capabilities of the internet before they start spouting off oil company inspired talking spin & propaganda.
There are unlimited green possibilities here stifled by oil company greed, and a complicit media greedy for advertising dollars. They HAVE to change, though, become nationalized, or just go out of business due to being anti-American/world.
Part II: An air powered car can run off air generated by any alternate power source (wind, solar, geothermal, wave, etc) that can convert electricity to compressed air. Excess production, not sold back to the grid, can be stored underground in drained oil wells, mines, caves, etc, then piped to filling stations or even used to generate turbine created electricity during peak demand.
Sure, there is a loss converting from electricity to compressed air, and more when back to electricity when needed, but since it is a limitless virtually free resource...who gives a rat's ass about some loss?
You WILL give a rat's ass when you get THE BILL for the electricity used to compress that air, OR the bill for the EQUIPMENT to convert that wind, solar or wave / etc. power to a form that you can use.....
NOTHING is "virtually free".....
Where is YOUR float assembly & generator to turn wave power to electricity ? Where's your ATTORNEY to get the operating permits you would need ? Where's your INSURANCE policy for when someone gets mashed in the machinery ? Capitalists should pay for it, right?
opperating permits my ass the goverment controls enough already we dont want them getting there hands on these kinds of things becuse theyl either make it there own and make MORE money or shut the people making these things up so the oil companys will be able to continue to sell there gasoline and keep our so preciuos economy from crumbling all the while we fill the air we breath with toxic chemicals that soon enough will come back to bite us in the ass
If the power comes from hydroelectric, wind or nuclear power, it is pollution free. However the process of compressing air and delivering it is terribly inefficient. Compressed air motors are only good for shop tools.
Well gee, that's funny, then why are India, France, and Australia coming out with mass produced air cars in 2009. For all the nay sayers who prefer terribly inefficient, oil using, polluting internal combustion engines I say, "It's better to remain silent, and be thought a fool than to open your mouth, and prove it". Open your minds & do your homework!
I agree, pluto, but the real problem isn't Americans per se, but dominance by a very few corporate heads. I also agree with your previous post, and a need to educate Americans on how to drive, perhaps making the driving tests much, much, much harder & more comprehensive to include such things as energy conservation.
Burnoutsarestupid, you need to do your homework/research. India, France, & Australia have mass produced air cars hitting the market THIS year.
I agree, pluto, most Americans are complete wimps when dealing with new things, especially technology that makes their life easier, but they have to think for a minute to get it going. Are you aware of MS Tag yet, another hard sell to the ignorant.
Thanks for looking up MS Tag, Pluto, and my partner in Sweden thinks it's the wave of the future. Americans like to brag a lot, but we are way behind in out IT because of corporate greed. Yes, I've also heard about the new HVD (called blue something or other). I'm looking forward to it because I film & process a lot of videos, and that takes about 13 gig per hour of storage. I have over 300 hours left to process, and only about 1,300 gig of hard drive storage, so it's a boon (HVD I mean).
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Hey Pluto, I'm an American and I came up with the idea to create a pnuematic car 21 years ago as a twenty year old. I think i't a greatn idea with a lot of potential. I guess this American isn't a closed minded as the dolts you hang out with. BTW American ingenuity and free enterprise has been doing the heavy lifting of tech progress for the world for 200+ years you euro ass licker
It's OK to disagree and express your opinion, but you don't need to use coarse language in the process.
I wasn't referring to the scientists of America, but to the typical citizen.
Even if the citizens are willing to try-out new technologies, if it's a threat to CEOs' profits, it'll be killed, suppressed and/or projected to seem inferior.
I think GM's EV1 is a good example. Time says it was among the 50 worst cars of all time, yet other sources suggest otherwise.
That's what I hate about American Capitalism is stupid spending, to few competition, and greedy CEO's not wanting to better the world. I believe competition makes a better product on both sides. Think of it as leap frog. They'll end up trying to make a better product therefore higher quality...

Air cars ? GREAT.... I AM READY FOR THEM and I'm NOT KIDDING.... and I'm not being sarcastic.
I am just asking you to tell me how this is going to happen without some CEO somewhere telling his Board of Directors and shareholders that there is MONEY to be made by putting these cars out there for sale, providing REFUELING STATIONS all over the place & incurring the HUGE EXPENSES that I spoke of which include:
(1) insurance costs
(2) air compressors
(3) electric motors to power compressors
SEE ???

Wingman DOESN'T STOP just because you don't like the message...And I'd like some OTHER answers that I requested from those who believe that air-powered cars, et cetera are being suppressed by CEO's & others, such as:
(1) WHO is going to spend the MONEY to build the infrastructure ( compressor stations at which to "refuel" these air-cars ) ?
I DON'T NEED MORE RHETORIC....
I NEED ANSWERS....
WHO IS GONNA' PAY FOR THIS ??
THE SAME CEO'S THAT you are crapping all over right now ?

THIS is what an engine is.
"A machine that converts energy into mechanical force or motion."
Examples:
1. The engine in your car.
2. A Jet Engine.
3. A lego Pneumatic Turbine.

This is not an engine..... it is the equivalent of the turbine in ANY air-powered device - If you've ever used an air buffer, grinder, drill or whatever, you've used one of these..... just a different form.
wingman345 2 years ago
well maybe in some sense of words.... it is turning the air (fuel) into working/mechanic energy..... so I view it as an engine.
ragnotgizmo 2 years ago 19
just applying what I've been told by the engineering guys I've worked with who ALWAYS corrected us when we spoke of an engine as a "motor" or motor as an "engine". They hold that an "engine" as a device in which there is combustion/expansion exponentially above the ambient ( gasoline vapor introduced at ambient temp & pressure, then ignited ..... steam introduced at one pressure & expanding at a great rate ).
CDS: What are you flyin' around in ?
wingman345 2 years ago
@ragnotgizmo Well... it's a motor and not an engine. And it is not turning the air into anything. The air is not a fuel. The air is simply the conduit of the energy. A fuel is consumed and converted in an engine. A motor is powered by energy from somewhere else. An engine converts a fuel to motion by burning it and applying that expansive force to mechanical (kinetic) energy. Here, the hose supplying the air is exactly the same as a wire carrying electricity to a motor. The air is "electrons".

@OregonDARRYL pressurized air is fuel, its expansive force is making it run, i don't believe you need something to be combusted for it to be called an engine... Steam engine is another example. Aslong as something pressurized is pushing that piston i call it an engine
08Cuz08 10 months ago
@08Cuz08 Then all pneumatic tools are engines? I don't think so. They are motors. An engine converts a fuel to energy. A motor uses energy created elsewhere to run. And compressed air is simply a "spring" if you will. Stored mechanical energy. Would you consider a rubber-band powered airplane to be powered by fuel? Only if you consider the food (fuel) you ate to give you the energy to wind the rubber-band.... the food is the fuel. The rubber-band is a "battery"... stored energy.
OregonDARRYL 10 months ago
@08Cuz08 A steam engine BURNS fuel to heat water... it's an engine. Now if the steam comes from say - an underground source.... then it's a motor. This is all actually very simple. If it takes mechanical energy from a compressor and that air is pushed through a hose to a ANY device that moves in any way.... you have a motor. You see this is just a transfer of mechanical energy from the compressor to the device. Just like a wire sends current to a motor.
OregonDARRYL 10 months ago
@ragnotgizmo It is not turning the air into anything. It is not an engine. The air pressure in the hose is just like electrical pressure of electrons in a wire. The energy came from somewhere else. That makes this a motor just like all air-tools. Would you call an air-powered lug-nut wrench and "engine". Of course not. An engine converts one form of energy to another. Like changing the chemical energy stored in gasoline to mechanical energy by burning it and pushing on pistons to turn an engine.
OregonDARRYL 10 months ago
@ragnotgizmo "In some sense of words"... WTF does that mean? It's a MOTOR, not an engine. You can "consider" it an engine... but it is NOT. You can consider it a goldfish if you want - it still won't swim. The air pressure here is like a spring - stored energy. Like a battery. That's what makes this a motor. The mechanical energy is NOT created by this "engine" it is created by the COMPRESSOR - sent through a hose to push on parts of this MOTOR. Mechanical energy to mechanical energy. No engine.

@tomview1 A compressor needs to be driven to compress air, it needs energy. The air must also be filtered... not convenient at all. I am trying to figure out how you can use this though! It could be used as a pneumatic motor or a transformer from air pressure- energy to kinetic energy... fix some magents here and there with some coils and you got the electric energy!

How does it run? It's not a steam engine, and the compression stroke wouldn't be any use, as there would be no firing of mixture in the next. Does the inlet stroke let in compressed air and the exhaust valve open up on the 'compression' stroke?

perpetual motion is not possible, not in Newtons's world (where WE live).
Not possible due to friction wich becomes heat and so on.Since then you allready have a portion of your initial amount of energy wich had transform in other form of energy but that you can't re-utilize to keep the machine working.
To make perpetual motion you should not have ANY energy spend...i dont know how is that possible to be made."Rare earths" made magnets maybe...

There is a way and i know how. It's with neodymium magnets. And dont start saying that it is impossible, i know you cant just set them up toward each other on a wheel but there is an other way which will actually work to keep an axel turning. Only thing is that i dont know how much energy the turning axel can deliver without stopping the engine.

for our purposes, no. when someone talks about perpetual motion, they're us, usually only interested in motion that we can take advantage of (ie. do work with). However, the first law of thermodynamics says that energy is conserved, so any energy we get out of a system (an engine lets say) must have come from somewhere, usually by burning a fuel (releasing the energy in the fuel). You cannot get kinetic energy out of a system without converting some form of potential energy.

Widen your viewpoint. How do you think that air got compressed in the first place. Right, a dirty great compressor using either elctricity or gas. Bang for bang an air motor is more expensive to run and produces more pollution when you include the prior process of compressing the air, which you MUST do..

Part II: An air powered car can run off air generated by any alternate power source (wind, solar, geothermal, wave, etc) that can convert electricity to compressed air. Excess production, not sold back to the grid, can be stored underground in drained oil wells, mines, caves, etc, then piped to filling stations or even used to generate turbine created electricity during peak demand.

Sure, there is a loss converting from electricity to compressed air, and more when back to electricity when needed, but since it is a limitless virtually free resource...who gives a rat's ass about some loss?

If the power comes from hydroelectric, wind or nuclear power, it is pollution free. However the process of compressing air and delivering it is terribly inefficient. Compressed air motors are only good for shop tools.

I agree, pluto, but the real problem isn't Americans per se, but dominance by a very few corporate heads.
