Pneumatic Engine
Basic Machining March 2015 In a weekend course at George Brown College, I was able to apply basic machining skills to build a pneumatic piston engine. Using provided engineering drawings, each of the parts were machined on the lathe and mill, with tolerances of 10 thousandths of an inch. The engine is powered using compressed air, producing speeds in the hundreds of RPM. With parts accurately manufactured to within tolerances, I was able to rank in the top 3 in revolutions per minute. |
