We had pressure boosters that used much the same operations. Much larger air cylinder piston driving a small hydraulic piston with the same stroke length. 100 psi air could easily generate 2000 psi hydraulic pressure.
Boot strap pumps, used in aviation, for helicopter floats emergency preasure bottles, filled with nitrogen. Pump powered with100 psi shop air , boosted to 3000 psi
RIGHT ON!!!!
When I made this motor I simply had 2 metal flat bar plates stuck on the shafts sticking out at each end of the piston. There was a 6cm gap between these plates and the ends of the valve rod. The way it worked was that at the end of the stroke the momentum of the piston would push the valve over with this plate and the piston would reverse direction. Basically it was a full linear motor in operation. It was much simpler and did not need a yoke or crank or any other stuff. The only crank needed was to turn the linear motion into rotary motion if rotary motion was what was needed. Btw making a smaller version out of steel using a lathe and some fancy tools and with a powerful compressor got me an rpm of 6400 before the piston smacked the one end off the cylinder and popped out of the end at high speed :). I guess I did not make it strong enough. A simple one using my idea for the valves and without the rotary valve bit could be printed with a 3D printer as long as the cylinder was made using a smooth plexiglass tube.
Hey and thank you a lot for sharing and creating such an amazing RUclips channel, and showing people that they can make a change if we unite. For me you are an inspiration, hero. I'm 23 years old and I love all the content that you show.
Thank you for making this video, there's a hurricane down here in the south and this the time I used to catch up on the latest and greatest of old technology revive
Always a pleasure. That was both enjoyable and entertaining. Still get such a kick out of it when you see it and laugh delightedly. So refreshing.
That laugh at end, was a reward in itself!!!
I love it when he cracks up laughing.
I've been working on opposition motor designs and been writing about it on substack. This video really helped me understand timing better.
🙏
Mr. Murray-Smith would get along swimmingly with the likes of Mr. Newcomen😂
Nice !! Now let make one working with the sun's heat !
Imagine the world if the world wasent run bye oilgarks, rich elite
But this guy... Amaze me in every video :D thx for the showcase
Ocean Kite Engine video from 2 weeks ago, had rob as a camero! Surely thats a sign off recognition congratulations hahaha
I made a large steel and Teflon rotary valve that can handle about 25,000 PSI which eventually I aim to use to make an air motor from.
Congratulations! You've invented the steam locomotive engine.
that design predates steam....
@@thekaxmax Perhaps, but it is the exact design used in steam locomotives.
If you could have one of those waterfall air compressors, you would have almost infinite free energy to run on!
You never disappoint 👍
Easy to simplify by adding magnets to the moving shaft and arrange it so that they move through coils....a linear generator
For those who enjoy this will be interested with ingenious RUclipsr PROFESSOR PARDAL BRASIL videos, working air engines ans steam engines diy-ed into a working steam trike and compressed air bicycle using sallvaged parts. Dont forget the CC translations options if you dont understand Portuguese
Scotch yokes are also easier to balance.
Power it on vinegar and baking soda (co2)
Or yeast
@@10sheds21 or use at as a fermentation lock on wort
Cool, of course, compressed air cylinders are very cheap and much easier. I use one with a 2/5 control valve, and it's cheap.
It would be really cool if you built a two cycle, direct injection, air heated, liquid air engine. (GM 2 cycle diesel with liquid nitrogen in the tank)
Thanks for sharing this but of information now to go get a tank of air and save on gas 😁😎👍🏼🤣🤷🏼
A spritz of light oil would improve its performance quite a bit.
Could be faster to compress air to tanks for a car than to recharge batteries lol, is the energy potential relatable? Not that super-caps or en-route scraping chargers, like trains have, aren't likely better options to solve that, but I love exploring possibilities! Sorry to change the comment number away from 42.
I would like to see you do a car engine. I have a project for just such a thing.
You built a steam engine. Lol. Very good!
Nice contraption even if the explanations are not always clear but what the heck, the interested person will explore.
BTW, have Robert sold all his nifty 3D printers as he reverted to builder board and acrylic plates ?
Can the next step in relation to the scotch yoke also have a switch that's alternating poles?
Would that be same as Stirling engine? Just need hot air rite? As always great things here...thanks👍
Interesting
Do original steam engines work this way?
yes
Nice 👌
First comment!
❤you can do that to a truck engine😳⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️😁🥰
Of course, but you have to carry pressurized air with you to push something like a truck. It's been tried, but low range and danger of explosion in an accident
@@kingofnothing2260 why would there be danger of explosion? trucks already use compress air for its airbrakes and starting and there are trucks and cars that have propane tanks fitted for running on lpg and cng
@@dantronics1682 a large number of compressed air tanks would be needed to drive even a few miles, no payload, just a lot of potential energy stored in pressurized tanks. In an accident, if some vales pop off tanks, or there's punctures, the tanks go off like rockets. If punctured in the middle, they may explode. Chain reaction, all these tanks letting loose will damage more tanks. Limited range because tanks don't fill themselves. You'd need an electric or petrol powered air compressor. Brakes/horn use a relatively small amount of air, and the compressor is powered by tge diesel engine.
@@dantronics1682 a huge reservoir of thousands of psi air would be needed for any real range. Same reason hydrogen cars aren't used. Carbon fiber containment is best under testing as it will split in an accident rather than crumple, but still
@@dantronics1682 there's a lot of research into air driven cars and lots of reasons they aren't common
The operation is no different to a steam engine then.
Might be good to put magnets on the piston and a coil on the cylinder then you could regain some of your electric energy and make it more efficient. Love the motor and the way you have designed it.
Thanks for making this video.
Glad it was helpful!
