Oscillating compressed air engine

[Chriske]

Hi guys,

Another finished project made by one of our students at GTI Duffel (6MT). This oscillating compressed air engine is made by 18 year old Matthias as his final exam in our school. At first he had some difficulties because one of the parts started to stall due to friction of the cylinder against its counterpart. After hardening and polishing (again) the cylinder's counterparts this engine runs very smoothly.

Chris...

Congratulations! You made and engine that didn't work properly, you diagnosed some problems and, corrected them. Now the engine operates.

Be proud.

Frank,

Matthias, the builder of this little engine should be proud and he actually is!
Due to some beginners errors his engine failed to run.
Main axis in its cylinderbody was angled so there was a gap between cylinder and it's counterpart(twice!) then there was that counterpart that had to be looked at due to some wear.
Point is he never gave up and started over again and again...he should get all the credits here for this engine...!
