Title: compressed air engine
Post by: boutje on February 26, 2010, 12:14:35 PM

For the first time i have made some parts with the cnc mill.
The cnc milling machine is a brother TC225 converted to mach 3.
I have build a engine running on compressed air.

The a have made with the cnc machine are the cilinderhead and big aluminum engine base.

Here the engine is running for the first time:

The next one is almost ready.
It will be a turbine running on compressed air.

I just love little engines and that is a beauty. Can't wait to see the next one.
