Air engine works!

I have build an air engine for a school project and it works at least. I used an old chainsaw engine and build some things on it to let it run on compressed air.

I did this with a leaf blower engine and It worked!

[tuningtinus]

That's pretty cool. now you can blow leafs on compressed air :D

It's nice to hear that other people are trying this at other engines and machines.

[ledfoot911]

how long can it run on a given supply of air?

[tuningtinus]

I don't know that exactely because I only tested it on a compressor. Unfortunately I don't have time left to work further on it. Because I do want to test a lot more with it.

you sped up the video to make it appear that it was working faster, cool idea of the valve for solving this common problem though, should have tried building a tesla turbine, that is where true compressed air driving efficiency lies.

[tuningtinus]

I didn't do anything to the video. This is really it's speed.

And about that tesla engine, that's way to complicated, I like to do something great like this in a simple way.

@tuningtinus Use steam and you can run a generator!

what is that electronics on your engine??? and how it works?

@NederSaks u could use an air tool inline oiler if u wanted to and put engine oil in i or something its not a big deal if u just squirt some oil in it every once and a while its not running very fast

[seelder]

do you just put the tube with the air into the spark plug hole? i do this and it just goes back and forth? how?

kool im making one out of a 4 stroke tecumseh.....i have my j-b weld dryin(more lobs on cam)

Its pretty cool, But 1 problem I do know of doing this with a piston engine. It requires so much presure to get power that it isnt worth it. I think a rotory engine would be a better suit. Anyway, nice work!

[albertsauce]

how do you rev it?

[Geminimissions]

@11supaman11 He was shooting in 60 fps, much smoother video

Sweet runs great! I'm thinking od doing this with a weedeater. Great job!
