  • How did you do it? I'm wanting to build one and I need to know how, I hear you have to add a extra lobe to the cam or something So How would I go about doing that

  • @14omega28ok You got it! Get out the mig welder and a grinder. Blob weld opposite of the original lobes until it looks a little bigger then the other lobed and grind it to the same profile. Polish it smooth and put it back together. Should run on air!

  • Air should be going in the sparkplug hole.Go to Pneumatic options (library) he has a huge site on air powered engines with about 30 yrs of experience. Good luck & don't be discouraged by negative people!!! ps; air powered car by Leroy Rogers

  • @Tinkrr1 right but then id have to have a timed valve running to the sparkplug hole, it was just easier to do it this way. Thanks for the site, it may come in handy for a future project. I want to make something steam powered next!

  • umm u have a problom u got the air going in to the wrong hole its all backwards the intake should be were the exsast is

  • @dragata1 every if you were right, when i switch them around the motor just runs backwards...

see all

  • hey...i have a senior which is making an air compressed engine car..so if you have any related topics and sites for help id be so thankfull....please contact me on m.hemady@hotmail.com

  • Could you please do a complete video on how to convert the 4 stroke engine to run on compressed air?

  • @666elcam Did you do a steam engine yet? I think a 2 stroke would be best for conversion.

  • CAN YOU CONVERT A CAR ENGINE TO RUN ON COMPRESSED AIR ?

  • this would be a crazy steam engine haha

  • Good luck with your steam project too. Keep in mind that most steam engines will run on compressed air just as well as steam which you can use as a test pressure!!
