Single Cylinder Air Engine

youmagine

Single Cylinder Air Engine roars to life with compressed air, a vacuum cleaner, or even the power of lungs. Three versatile adapters have been incorporated into the design for seamless integration with each. The ingenious design boasts two ports - one upper and one lower - that work in harmony to harness energy. When viewed from the port side, the Wheel Piston rotates smoothly clockwise under pressure applied to the upper port, while a counter-clockwise motion is achieved when a vacuum is drawn into the upper port. Simultaneously, the lower port functions as an exhaust when pressure is applied and an intake when vacuum is applied. In a thrilling display of dynamics, the opposite occurs when the lower port is used for pressure or vacuum. This clever design allows for a range of possibilities, making it a true marvel of engineering.

After all, this project was designed using Fusion 360 and sliced with Cura 2.3.1 before being printed in PLA on an Ultimaker 3 Extended.
