Balloon Powered Single Cylinder Air Engine Toy Train

Balloon Powered Single Cylinder Air Engine Toy Train is a balloon-powered toy train engine that builds on my earlier air engine designs to deliver improved performance. To handle the increased weight of this design, I incorporated a 4-to-1 gear reduction system, providing a driven-to-drive ratio that enhances efficiency even further. When well-tuned and running smoothly, this vehicle can cover distances exceeding 40 feet, albeit at a more leisurely pace.

My wife's reaction to this toy train engine chugging through the kitchen and into the family room was nothing short of hilarious, prompting a cascade of orders for more of these models – much to her delight. Children and grandchildren alike are enamored with them, and their gentle hum closely resembles that of an old steam engine when in operation. To assemble Balloon Powered Single Cylinder Air Engine Toy Train, you will need to acquire four "AS568" #219 o-rings (1 5/16" I.D., 1 9/16" O.D, 1/8" section) for the tires and at least one "punch balloon" – which can be found at local party supply stores or online. As with all my projects, it's likely that I've overlooked a critical file or component, so don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. After all, mistakes are an inevitable part of the design process. Balloon Powered Single Cylinder Air Engine Toy Train was designed using Autodesk Fusion 360, sliced with Cura 3.3.1, and printed in PLA on both an Ultimaker 2+ Extended and an Ultimaker 3 Extended.
