Six-cylinder engine powered by compressed air - 3rd entry

Greetings reader! In this post, I'll introduce you to a six-cylinder engine powered by compressed air. To operate it, simply use compressed air and apply force to initiate. The backside houses a chamber composed of various parts; the valve and shaft are crucial as they direct air towards cylinders and move the valve and pistons, respectively. When the chamber is filled with air, the valve channels it into the cylinder. This action pushes the cylinders, which in turn move counterweights via connecting rods. The process forms a closed loop, similar to other internal combustion engines. For printing, parts are saved as STL files. Most other components are standard ISO or DIN, easy to acquire. Metal parts will be made by you, using Al+ material. Key features of this model include its use of air as "fuel," educational benefits, affordability, potential for powering smaller planes (with increased motor size), and included MathCAD, FEA, and production drawings saved in Croatian. Translation is available upon request. This was my final work at Mechanical University Slavonski Brod but unfortunately, it remained unfinished due to time constraints, existing only digitally.
