Home made air engine from scrap metal.
« on: January 05, 2014, 11:32:52 PM »
This is an engine I made from bits and pieces in my workshop. Other engines were made from chunks of steel and cut to the shape I wanted, it took  a long time so I speeded up the process by using parts from other engines.

The alternator was a washing machine motor.

 Have a look at the video.   http://youtu.be/7LlM182hD9w

Good stuff. That is some good thinking right there.
Do not be like the cat who wanted a fish but was afraid to get his paws wet.
