    1.Can you explain the working of this engine i.e from input of air to output of energy using this engine
    2.What is the need of spring in this engine?

    • @MattDenton
      @MattDenton  3 года назад +1

      It's just co pressed air forcing the piston down and the inertia of the flywheel continuing motion until the next piston cycyle. The spring is there to keep the piston against the face as a simple air seal.
