ingenious design and you can use structure of a gas turbine which has consecutive rotor and stator blades because turbines %30-40 more efficient than pistons after 2000 rpm which airplanes need ...

Well done sir! I'm quite impressed by your tenacity and diligence in prototyping. Keep on sciencing :D

Dear Tom - I'm very impressed by this achievement. However, I have a question on the way you can manage a pressure over 4 bars with a 3D printed PLA tank. Do you have any specials or trick to make it so air proof ? Thanks a lot !

That fucking confusing me but it was realy interesting

just be careful the Petroleum boys are keeping a close watch🤔

Great Invention. Maybe we need to utilize this concept to make our next jet engine model to cut off the need of fossil fuel or any other dirty fuel. Great works Tom Stanton! I salute you.

You maked me want to be a Mechanical ingeneer! Thanks!

Genius!, regards from Argentina !

You are amazing, Tom. Who did the 3d graphic design?! I wish to come and visit you Tom for one of your projects :) Thanks

Do You think about creating gas making chemical reactor? Its mean gas making chamber for suply engin for pressure for longer period of time?

How about putting that bend in the bottle connection instead of the gearbox?

This is really more interesting for using compressed air as energy storage instead of flying things.

Kiwi Co as in here New Zealand

Try to Make the engine with two one-way valves.In one go air to the engine and from other go air from the engine.

Вы молодец!

Very cool stuff!

Молодец! Позитивное видео!

very cool and amazind this agreen energy

Bro I want to know how the piston comes back to its initial place without spring or any force

Question. Did you try anything similar to steam valve regulation? Walschaerts' Valve Gear for example?

Nice work buddy!!!

@Tom Stanton This is JUST the type of problem-solving that I absolutely LOVE to do. I was wondering if you might have any recommendations (mostly tools/hardware/software) for someone trying to do similar things; ie. designing and developing my own creations/inventions. Personally, I have an Ender-3 printer that I upgraded a bunch (boro-silicate plate, vertical axis stabilizers, PTFE tubing, upgraded metal feeding parts). I have 0.2mm and 0.4mm nozzles and I use both PLA and ABS. For my 3D-modeling, I use Sketchup Pro (Originally Google Sketchup), mainly because I've used it so much that it's second nature to me. I have used Solidworks too but I am not NEARLY as good with it. From there I just use Ultimaker Cura, as I was recommended to by a friend. For finishing, I have plenty of hand tools and power tools with all types of driver bits and drill sizes. For a lubricant, the only thing I have is Remington Gun Oil; I have this for cleaning and fixing pocket knives, but I assume it's no good for plastic-on-plastic friction, and may even be slightly corrosive. It would really help if you could share what lubricants, adhesives, sealants, or screws you use for your projects. And the size of the holes you make for the screws. Please let me know if you have any tips or recommendations! Thank you so much!!

All I want to know is how did you render it with the layers like that

great vid! really enjoyed it!!

ни чего не понял, но сука интересно.

did you know that in Warsaw before WW2 they had air-powered trams!

Thanks

That is awesome and imagine if you led a team of engineers and 5 years of funded development! I think a gofundme should be on the cards or start talks with elon musk as this tech for sure is useful in space !

Do you patient your work?

What if you put dry ice inside the bottle with water? Could it potentially work?

thanx.

That was really nifty. I am surprised you couldn't get the brass and internal stainless the correct length by measuring. I am sure you probably did. Great work.

I swear to god this guy is about to be like elon musk but with air

you can also experiment with different propellers.

Ssssspo. /

could it run longer with hot air

interesting

If I buy one diaphragm engine to you how much it will cost

"Just look at that preformance" *plane imitates my GPA*

Tom, very, very cool! 3D printing is is just amazing, especially when used by bright, young engineers like you.

0.41 bar is 5.95 PSI 4.1 bar is 50.5 PSI--simple mistake

The steady earthquake especially bang because panty aboaly name notwithstanding a tested nepal. observant, ablaze belt

Науя всё это? Детство тяжёлое?

maybe I missed it. I didn't see the air that was to be expelled. Used a second time in a decompression cycle to help close off the valve. Seems like you could also use a spring mechanism to help with this as well. 3d printers are fantastic.

Awesome Engin. Hats off to the efforts and innovative design.

We use something similar to KiwiCo for homeschooling our children. Actually, they have done more science experiments than any other subject.

Wow!

You caught my interest, great fun.

What program did you use to make the animation?

Can we got th blueprints of the engine for 3d printing

Could you use one of those acetylene generators like the old miner’s lamps used to dramatically increase flight time? Maybe some other gas generator? Dry ice might be an interesting “fuel”.

Did you patent your design?

hahahah make that rocket mega big ,wanna see what will happen

nice work but make it undestructible ,thakyou for sharing your ideas

so useless lol

tom you probably wont see this but i have a challenge compressed air radial engine

gas engine more efficiently...

"Just look at that performance"

👏 amazing work very creative individual. Engineering is ART.

What if you harvest some air pressure in the bottle to run the engine using a chemical reaction for the pressure, something like Mentos in Coke, but without the bubbles? So you can run it longer.

I'm a new subscriber so haven't seen many videos, been watching for a few days now, could you perhaps create a multiple cylinder engine similar to this one? Or any links to previous videos if you have done so already, I find these really interesting 😁

How about the "anti-gravity" subject?

What if you make a tube (by not filling a bit of the enhine wall) so the used air will go out the "back"? This will reduce the weight and might boost the performance a bit

Bravo! Just one idea: take Latex instead of butyl rubber, then another 300% power increase is possible (maybe). And then make the engine heat resistant, that would give a pretty interesting steam engine (have you seen this fantastic engine?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccjTMQwKWNs). A lot of similarities to your engine!

Kids fantasy?

Olá, estive vendo seu projeto e gostei, porém penso que pode melhorar com um circuito simples de geração de ar comprimido: "nas pontas da hélice poderá ser fixadas pequenas mangueiras (afastadas um pouco) para coletar ar, aproveitando o movimento de rotação das mesmas, este ar entrará para dentro de uma válvula de pressão sensível, onde por pressão hidráulica poderá gerar mais ar comprimido, fácil de fazer, vale a pena tentar...ok?

Thumbnail looks like a smile

Schauberger that baby

Mate.

Had this come out some years ago, this would have saved Air Hogs

🔵 What we never found out was, which is the better motor?... your design or Air Hogs?

REALLY BEAUTIFUL

+1LIKE!

I really want to be like you. So talent!

That's so cool!

Dude just reinvented Airhogs.

You're one smart ginger!!! Holy crap!

Take this design, make it bigger and put it in a car. Then add an air compressor to the car so that u can compress the air canisters again through powering the compressor, then u got what appears to be an electric car that charges in 10 minutes!

6:25 idk why but those engines for me looked like personality cores from portal or P-body from the multi-player portal

I want the design from the paramotor. how can i have it

What is the power density of the engine? How many kilowatts of power are produced per kilogram of mass of the engine at a specified input pressure of air? What is the specific output of the engine in joules per mass of compressed input air used or in kilowatts per mass flow rate of air (kilograms per second of air flow) Compare your test figures to a steam locomotive. Remove the boiler and replace with a humongous tank of compressed air. You have designed a Rankine cycle engine which relies upon energy consumed outside the engine to compress air to drive the piston.

This will someday be used on a environment friendly plane, anyways great job, this design is revolutionary

Awesome, I really enjoyed.

now try and find transparent plastic to print with so we can see what is going on inside

This is a motor, an engine uses a fuel internally to create mechanical energy, a motor uses an externally generated energy source

Not taking anything from the quality of the device, just pointing out the difference between what it was being called, and what it is.

You have a diaphragm air compressor. It's smart because it doesn't use OIL. However, the pressure is low. ineffective. Life is short. It would be nice if we could create an engine / motor with technology that overcomes these problems. All that remains is a way to store air.

6:27 that beautiful lineup just feels.. engineery. Just right :)

I saw this model on Thingiverse, downloaded it and i now i have a fun project for the new year=) Thanks alot Tom! By the way, ever considered turning this into an airpowered dremel tool?

The first impression I got was... """An engine driven by air?"""｣ "Model???" But towards the end of the video, I was very surprised by the idea of using a beverage container to move it.

Hey Stom Tanton. Could you connect this to a small gear box and have this spin a propeller faster?

what a great job¡¡¡¡ have you ever measured air engines from dental micromotors? it would be nice to see an eficience comparision

Make 3d printed radial engine

We already have efficient pneumatic motors. Keep trying to reinvent the wheel.

Amazing job!!!

Great Work Man!!!

I give you major props (no pun intended) for finishing this. You solved a problem for a design I have been making of my own. I can just imagine how much time you spent. Between the designing, the printing, redesigning and reprinting.

8:42-8:49 a pioneer are we ?

This would be so cool if it was scaled up, and attached to a small R/C car

Great vids Tom...Check out the beautiful little CO2 powered motors made by the Czech genius engineer Stephan (?) Gasparin. They use a similar ball check valve but are a much simpler design. He made many different sizes and configurations from single cylinder, horizontally opposed twins , 4 cylinder, straight 4 and 6 cylinder, as well as 3, 5, 7, 9 cylinder radial motors. He even made 18 cylinder radials to order as well as V8 and V12 engines. Sadly he is not alive any more and these engines arerare collectors pieces. I have 3 engines and one of them is the second smallest he made....It has a bore of 1.5 mm and a stroke of 2 mm !!! It turns a beautiful little 2 inch , hand carved wooden prop at 5700 rpm and powers my 8 inch span Santos Dumont "Demoiselle" which weighs just 13 grams...Flies beautifully at a fast walking pace for well over 2 min. Keep these wonderful projects a comming...well done.

👍
