Using Integza's compressed air powered wankel engine, I built an old-fashioned paddleboat. But because I over-do everything, I also designed a 3D printed air regulator to significantly increase engine runtime, and I learned how to run CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analyses in order to over-optimize my hull and paddle design. The CFD was definitely overkill, but it was fun to learn and really cool to see how minor design changes can significantly impact fluid dynamics.
