This is a 12 cylinder double acting Vacuum/Steam Engine made out of LEGO
It uses my own invention the "John Piston"

This engine is so massive and so big I had to use two vacuum cleaners to power this monster. It's so slow it's a miracle it actually wants to run.
The only modification I have used that isn't LEGO is food OIL to smoothen the cylinders to make it run better.

This LEGO Engine is probably the biggest on YouTube todate!

  • did you use any glue or something to keep your piston and valves together on your engines?

  • @TheIceychill2 Nop. The only thing I've used that isn't LEGO is food OIL.

  • by the way what country do you live in im just wondering you seem to speak a german or swedish finnish language but the intro your using is korean

  • @TheIceychill2 It is Norwegian currently I am in Hong Kong

  • Oh my.... WOW! :) That is the most impressive engine I have yet seen!! Two vacuums, oh my, thats awsome! I think I see how the John piston works now, and it has given me a new engine idea! That has to be the biggest vacuum engine on Youtube! Looks great and runs great! I can't believe what I am seeing, excellent work!

  • @mechanicsnut Thanks for the comment and regarding the John Piston as if you seen my movie with the John Piston. There is a picture there. It's two flat blocks one is the piston and the other is at the bottom to stop air from escaping.

    My cut-away is being built right now. But if you understand how it works, that is great

see all
