Air Engine

CAD Design

Testing my air engine in the kinematics simulator in Creo. It works!

Parts - Engine part files modeled in Creo Parametric

Drawings - Drawing files created from modeled parts

Machining

Here is an image of the lathe used to machine the parts. Unfortunately I do not currently have a photo of the mill used to end mill the faces.

The controls of the lathe, I learned to calculate necessary spindle speeds for different materials and drill sizes.

A photo of the cutting tool that I sharpened and used to cut my parts.

I learned to use calipers to check and double check my cuts carefully.

Testing my air engine in on the shop setup. It passed!
