It's the first time I post in the forum, so take the opportunity to greet everyone.
Since I met this engine, fell in love with them for their simplicity and efficiency, and I decided to build one of them, using recycled materials.
I invite you to visit my gallery on youtube, I hope you like them.

Welcome to the forum.
Very nice little engine. What did you make the pistons out of ? What do you think the RPM is?

Thanks for your comment.
The pistons are glass syringes, the rpm I have not measured yet.
greetings.

Welcome. Great work!

What are you using for con rods?

Can you get some close-up photos?

Rods are hard brass strips. You can see the engines in more detail in internet if you search "youtube airemotor". They are high resolution videos and they look pretty good.

really nice engine!
You use glass syringes for pistons and you cover it with copper pipe for the look ?
How did you weld you copper and metal , it's look like you use metal epoxy ( like JB Weld ).

jeringillas are covered by the copper tube heating.
Tin solder is held well because the nuts are brass, and coins are covered with a layer of copper.

Hello
Flywheels are hard or head VHS VCRs discs.
The pistons are glass syringes 2 milliliters.

A greeting.
