Air Engine (Updated 1/25/09)
This is a very short video less than 10 seconds.
This is the better video.
This was the semester long project we did in class for Machine Tool Technology at the University of Central Missouri. I would like to hook the engine up to something and do tests.
The base is made out of a 3/4 in thick aluminum and the body and cylinder is mild steel. The flywheel and crank is made out of brass. I used most tools that you would use with metals. Vertical mill, horizontal mill, metal lathe, drill press and grinding machine, thread tap. I even machined the threads on the wrist pin.
Here are the plans if any one is interested in making them or for some info on how this was made.

1-2MB .ZIP file with 8 .PDF files for parts. (Link Updated 3-24-15)
