I believe this type of engine is called a ”head-valve” engine. It’s so interesting how incredibly simple it is and that it’s used in co2 plane and airhogs planes engines! (basically engines that have the piston hit the valve)

@heinrighbeukes6010 10 місяців тому

@Tom, good work on the engine design and printing. As for the Formlabs printer, I recommend you print the cylinder barrel slightly under by 0.1mm then use a sized rheem to get it to the correct size but remember to use rotate the rheem backward otherwise, you'll crack the resin print. (have made many smooth formlabs printed cylinders now)

maybe an Idea? firstly you could increase the piston total movement (increasing chamber/cylinder length), when piston is going down and reach in middle of chamber the piston also reach in the chamber roles, releasing the air pressure and after that this roles will close (maybe using more rubber valves) and the piston will continue its movement going down, at this moment it will create a vacuum in the chamber when piston reach on bottom of cylinder helping the piston up again with vacuum in the chamber, this could create more power?

Then, you can cut the engine weight down by making the walls thinner and using ribs and whatnot. Once you have an engine that has a long run time and is very light, you can make a plane out of light materials such as balsa wood and mylar.

It will also go some way to eliminate the requirement for the flywheel to create the cylinder compression, since the other cylinder can now provide that. Unfortunately a V2 would probably be a bit unreliable (especially on a plane) because the ball valve is sealed by gravity as well as pressure - although maybe the effect of gravity isn't very much given the high pressure air pushing the ball out? Either way, I'd vote for an inline 2 engine.

@@TrollingAround Double expansion makes it worth it. Steam engines used this technique, works on air engines too. Basically you just run a second engine optimized for lower pressure and feed it off the exhaust of the first engine. You're not consuming additional air, friction is still fairly minimal, and you extract way more power because your two cylinders are tuned to run at the pressures they'll normally see. Only real downside is complexity.

Hi Tom, you might consider glancing at the piston heads used in airsoft cylinders. They use pressure to expand standard-sized nitrile o-rings outward which delivers very good sealing and high speed/cycle wear life. The design tolerances around the o-ring would need altering because existing designs only seal while the piston slides in the forward (for your engines, upward) direction. Not sure it's applicable for your engine but it does its job very well.

@theawesomebrick 10 місяців тому

It’s so easy to get caught up in one half of the R&D process that you completely forget about and neglect the other. This video is a good reminder of the strides you can make when you remember to stop and do a little more research, or a couple more iterations. On a different note, I’m very interested in seeing how much further you can improve the engine! The Air Hogs design is likely optimized for mass production rather than performance, so there’s probably many strides you can make on that front. It’d be interesting to see the effect of adjusting bore&stroke measurements, but that’d be a lot of printing… I’m sure there’s probably some equation for that somewhere 😊

First video I have seen from you. Wow, honestly intriguing beyond words. Was not expecting to be so interested in your work when I randomly stumbled across it.
