Briggs and Stratton Compressed Air Conversion

My friend and I built this for a school project. We were researching compressed air motors, so we decided to build one. I have seen several of these on the internet, but nobody wants to say how they built it, so here is how I built mine.

HUGE thanks to Travelstead Auto Supply for donating the old Briggs for the project.

I don't know what your background is, what sort of experience you have, just as you don't know what my background is or what sort of experience I really have. I know my stuff, having even worked in professional motorsports before even turning 20 years old. I have absolutely nothing to prove to you, and I'm sorry this video completely ruined your day. As my buddy waslig said, go do some more oil changes and feel better about yourself.

You have it running wrong. You put the air on the exhaust port and so now the intake is exhaust. You switched it.

Nice job kids......tinkering is a gift from God......thre Wright Brothers only had 1 hs degree between the two of them and invented the airplane parttime in 3 years...making everything from the engine to the props....a good engineer/inventor has to have a lot of patience and this project proved it to you. Nice job......in 1962 when I was 12 I as sketching machines while everyone else was playing ball..... and it is so nice to see you minds working to make something.

Best to you both

@MXmaniac237 hey man not cool lots of us know the same amount about engines some don't but the fact 4 strokes are even around kills me but me and lots of people know how a 4 stroke works and what and how a cam shaft works including many of use work on these day by day so you don't half to talk as if we are retarded and also the fact you wasted a nice old b&s engine is annoying but the fact is the people who don't know about engines will never even head of this crap or be looking it up so...

@queefjeremy I suppose that in your view: Bob Pease, Jim Williams, Bob Widlar, Nikola Tesla, Guglielmo Marconi, Gottlieb Daimler, Nikolaus August Otto, and Many, many others are dumbasses, yet you are using modern technology that they all played a part in making it possible?? What exactly have you done for society that is useful? From the videos I have seen you are just a little punk screaming out your car like an idiot. I would say that YOU are the dumbass that will never go anywhere in life.

why did you put the air in the exhaust valve instead of the intake?
