Will this air engine push me along?

Please build a leaf blower air engine car. Please do it.

really, this is a steam engine, so pressure is important

Create a foot-powered bellow to power this!

Use an air tank and compressed air. This would be lighter and more efficient than trying to use a powered air source.

There is an application for every invention ever made ...sometimes not so obvious to most ...but that hardly matters at all.
Vacuum motors are nothing new ...the concept is quite old ...but the fun derived from building variations cannot be topped.👏👏

SAY IT WITH ME AH - LOOM - AH - NUM not AL U MINI UHM

jesus christ you forigners cant stop getting EVERYTHING wrong

make it steam powered

what if you make a V8 version of this air engine

Very Nice!

Now try to make it move from compressed air in soda bottles or something like that...

Isn't "System Mechanic" pretty much malware that will wreck your PC?

instead of adding weight to the flywheel remove material from it on the opposite side,

You could use graphite powder as it is a good lubricant

Could you make a Henry vacuum that walks around like doctor octopus and acts like a roomba but that traverses stairs

Do not ever use these "auto clean up" downloads. EVER.

Using a electric metal motor to move a plastic piston yes completely worth

Aliens are looking down upon us and seeing us using 3D printers to make little fun toys and just lmao at us saying haha they could Stop the world burning but they got to make their little toys that they will play with one time and . Either throw the plastic away or put it on a shelf never to be used again

feels like steam engine

u should make a 4 speed transmission

The vacuums have a suction safety to prevent overamping the motor. It’s just a bypass valve. If you disable that valve temporarily, you’ll get much more available vacuum.

Nice work, James. I feel like your suck and stroke machine could be useful for the pleasure droid I'm building. We're really living in an exciting future.

Interesting idea. The only bad thing is that DYSON is very LOUD machine. I have tested many of them but the irritable whine is so terrible that I can’t stand for it. In the thumbnail you have nice looking hoover. Didn’t it work well enough?

run it with a leaf blower.

Pressure instead of vacuum.

Using the electric motor from the shop vac to directly power the wheely thingy is far more energy efficient than the "air power" machine you're using.

the whole reason that pistons in conventional engines are round is because of blowby being easier to deal with not only that but the square piston engines are simply useless compared to regular ones because there is excessive stress on the edges and most of the fuel is combusted in the centre of the cylinder

Build onr from Lego 4 years ago. Didnt manage to power an lego car xD

"box-shaped cylinder"

why not used a metal tube as a sleeve?

why do brits talk until they run out of breath? lol its like every last word of a sentence is said in slow motionnnnn

Doesn’t matter how much sucky the Henry is you only get 14.9 psi no vacuum can pull above that in this case, I believe it’s more about volume then vacuum

Essentially works like a steam engine

very cool!
however. not a camshaft. that's a crankshaft.

Imagine walking in on this lol😂 guy riding a hoover

wow, this car sucks.

3 sponsors on a 13min video hmmm is that not a bit to many ?

Make a more powerful one with a leaf blower

nah it is still electric engine as long as you power it with electricity to use air to flow

Good start for a f*ck machine

What a waste of time.😳

Still not too clear if you're powering the thing with vacuum or air pressure. You keep saying "give it some air" and then attach a vacuum cleaner to it so I'm confused.
If its vacuum driven, thats an entirely different beast than an air engine.

Project idea to expand this: Electric motor, belt driven air compressor, relief valve and ball valve with compressor tank rated for 400 psi or more, this "air engine" (which is really just a basic steam engine motor) attached on both REAR wheels, now you have an electric compressor live steam engine. Also the inlet and outlet are together like that for a reason. Another component called a slide box to move the air to the other inlet will give you forward and reverse control.

3 different mentions of sponsors? is this cable television and some commercials fuck off

Ideas!!! High output battery on a cordless something. Maybe add volts like the guy does to toys and speeds them up until they break. And then add a bicycle disk brake, or make it work in reverse somehow like a throttle.

It would have been funny to see if it could be driven with a bicycle hand pump

it’s cooler made of wood…fuck all this plastic polluting our earth that you’re contributing to

I remade this, but using lego i got it to work after many hours of testing

Nice work have you thought about adding a valve gear

Nice work 3D printing that air engine. Piston/cylinder blow-by was the biggest problem for me, probably the same on yours. The more precise you make it, the better it works. I think your piston was more precise than mine. But something a bit like piston rings would be what gives it torque.
