Air Engine

This is an air engine designed by Matthias Wandel. I purchased his plans and recreated the parts in Solidworks. The project was assembled in SolidWorks and I made sure to design the parts with tolerances so It would slide and have play at the concentric mates.

The Base plate is about 7.56 inches and the rest of the parts are realtive and stay within the base plate when assembled. I suggest assembling this with super glue, small screws, and possibly paper clips(This is so the piston shaft and connecting rod can rotate.

Some parts may need to be sanded in order to move freely.

This air engine works with a can of compressed air
