metaljunkie Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jronman Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 oh I see all you do is turn the handle and the crank and cylinder move 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaljunkie Posted November 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
