LEGO Pneumatic Engine (LPE) 3 cylinder inline - Techbricks.nl

http://www.techbricks.nl rebuild a LEGO Pneumatic Engine 3 cylinder inline (LPE). This design was original made by LPEpower.com, but it is not a exact copy. Several changes were made . This video is made after I modified pneumatic cylinders and pneumatic switches. The switch now can move with much less friction and the switches and cylinders now have 2mm diameter inlets/outlets to let the air flow fast enough. Check my site to learn more about the problems I had to overcome for this model to rebuild and to get it run fast: http://www.techbricks.nl/My-pneumatic-LEGO-projects/lego-pneumatic-engine-lpe...

that's almost the design on LPEpower isn't it? do you have any pics of the valve side?

@jorhoerst : I have made a web page and a video about opening and modifying pneumatic switches. Check my web site and my youtube video's!

love it! and i liked how you made it all yellow, looks like a CAT

handpump XD

handy harry pocket generator!!!!!!

@WpA09 just add some grease to the switches, i used chain oil (normally for a bike)

i made a similar engine. nico71s design. it jams and i know that it is because of the switch that is closest to his 40-teeth gear (watch his videos and you'll understand which gear) but i dont know how to fix it. all pneumatic parts are unmodified and the switches are kinda stiff if that's the problem. i dont want to take the switch apart so how do i solve it?

that is like a steam engine running on compressed air!!! Great job

[5deiomma5]

great work how many rpms does it have

[PowKa154]

great engine  how much psi are you using

[TheIceychill2]

awesome id really like to see those yoke guides in more detail i have a brick scotch yoke engine and i use brick for the guides and that design would really reduce the friction

[headshot965]

how much power has it?
