Decided to finish the gluing and sanding of the new air engine today. It has intake and exhaust ports on the back side you can’t see, plus a crank handle for the kids to turn so they watch the engine work. Pretty cool little project for a lathe and drill press.
Nice work! Not readily apparent to me how it works. Please enlighten me. Thanks.
If you ever have the chance an in action video would be awesome 🙂
thats pretty cool!
oh I see all you do is turn the handle and the crank and cylinder move
I did make a short video but it’s not formatted correctly to post. I’ll work on it and try to post it later. But your right Jronman, turn the handle and the piston moves in and out of the cylinder. It also works on compressed air, or at least should. I haven’t had a chance to try that part out since I don’t have an air compressor in my apartment yet.
