Air Engine - PREVIEW VERSION

I was watching a video from YouTuber Matthias Wandel about an air engine that he built a few years ago. In fact it was a rebuild of an earlier project which he didn’t film, so he made an updated version and made a video about it. I thought this was really interesting and I wanted to understand how it worked better so I thought I’d build my own version. Matthias sells plans for lots of the things his makes, and he also has software for generating gears, so you should check that out as well as his channel if you don’t already subscribe. I bought the plans for the air engine which come with lots of photos, plans to cut the parts out of wood, and also a 3D model which is for Sketchup. There wasn’t any indication of how much torque the engine would generate in Matthias’s video and I think I want to make a slightly higher power version, so I’m actually going to redraw all the parts in CAD from scratch.
