Diaphragm Air Engine 

@Tom Stanton what program did you use to generate the 3D? It's amazing!

How did you make the incredible animations @ 3:00

I think they were made in blender.

He's low-key applying to Pixar.

I think it's fusion

You're not the only one surely!

He tricked me into that a long time ago

Haha same

Hey

Sam

Honestly this guy should probably patent this or something. Maybe make his own air hog company.

@@matiastorres1510 I think you cannot patent anything anymore, after you publicly show it like that.

@@tenj00 like Volvo did with the 3 point seatbelt design, it is better for us to let others use new technology without worrying about patents and ownership. This speeds up the innovation process

He's only recreated some **very** old steam engine issues.. like.. the very first steam engine's issues! The Newcomen "atmospheric engine" only powered half of the stroke, just like this thing You can run a steam engine with pressurized air.. just do that lmao

Hi

I Iike yo videos

Hello there, Cody!

Heyyy. Love your channel Cody!

Huh

Its wild really. Never heard of anything like this. I know its a novelty, but true originality is not something you see alot of.

Came to say this as well. Certainly one of the more impressive original engineering designs I’ve seen on yt. This guy can do great things. and possibly patentable..?

@NightHawkInLight : he managed to pull off a thrust/weight ratio of >1! Yeah... that’s _extremely_ impressive when you’re working with a basic idea, a 3D printer, and a home-made thrust scale... I mean that’s incredible... It’s a crazy rare accomplishment and good onya for calling that out!

@@digus The problem with patents is you can’t take one once you made the idea public. Therefore Tom should be supported because he is in fact spreading these ideas in an open source community. I guess he will of course be pleased if you use his original ideas to also mention his name and/or channel.

I totally agree, this is very very good.

Moments like that make all the work totally worth it!

Wow how can you not know?

Looks like cad files that were made for printing used in fusion.

Boi

@@HaiderAli-vd5uk I think we're talking about the animations. Not the modeling software.

@@0xCAFEF00D in fusion there is an animation tool-set.

Hey MM, cool to see you here too!

I have an idea! A dry ice powered toy helicopter with this engine No rc Controls just let it go and fly on its own. It can self stabilize with that weight thing on the blades

Had you at any point tried using a turbine? Is a reciprocating engine as efficient as a rotary one?

@@minepaperstudio5683 bonus: creates a realistic smokey exhaust

@@minepaperstudio5683 enacademic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/1272265

Absolutely right, I have always been impressed with this young man’s creative mind.

Ok, so, it remains only 3D Printing Nerds to comment this video xD? This dude is fantastic!

'welcome to CNC kitchen' :)

I have my own air powered piston idea! Awesome to see some others seeing this idea nice.

Haha yes

Hey Integza, tomatoes are delicious. Come on at least I spelled your name correctly. Just joking, love your videos and channel.

Love your vids too integza.

look its pulsejet man i love you videos

I feel like he's throwing a slight at you with the "noisy engines don't always go faster" lol

hey Ronald ! Love your work ! Keep going, Love from France

Why are u even wasting time here, we want a fiero vídeo my friend

Love your Pontiac Fireo revival series!

impostor!

Im mean, wtf are you doing here 😃 I see so many youtubers I watch, commenting on other youtubers I watch videos.

He did them in Blender, which is pretty cool. If you know how to use blender, it's not super hard, but that's still pretty good. Looks great though, it was a nice touch. The hardest part probably was getting the diaphragm simulation to work.

Help me friends

as soon as this happened i checked comments XD

Help me

Its like "fartcan" exhaust vs Magnaflow in a way, right? The former is louder, but the latter is most likely faster.

@@Avetho Magnaflow can be loud though 😅

@@Avetho IMO that's a bad example cause they're both slower than the loudest option, straight pipes. And a fartcan isn't even an exhaust, its just sticking a megaphone on your tailpipe...

@@nickopedia5669 I think my last braincell after finish a lab report wasn't doing too good when I wrote that. It tried, though, and that's what counts X'D

In some cases I don't care though. Bring back the 2013 F1 sound!

And many more smart people do exist that haven't had the chance to realize their own potential. I like to think I am one of them!

There are a lot of smart people in this world. But unfortunately a lot of those people waste there gift and those who are not as smart but work harder surpass them in the long run

And vise versa.

The problem is that to find a smart design, you have to wade through dozens of idiots trying to scam us into believing that perpetual motion works. The ones who really won't give up are the guys trying to run an engine on hydrogen separated by electrolysis. A 30 second calculation shows that the energy taken to generate the hydrogen is at least 10 times more than it can produce. Simply disconnecting the tube and lighting the gas produces a flame smaller than a candle and we are expected to believe that this will power a car. Some of these guys have produced amazing fuel consumption improvements, totally oblivious to the fact that they were just turning down the fuel and the hydrogen was making no difference. The result was a 70hp engine producing 30hp and the life expectancy of the engine being reduced to a matter of hours.

@@MrLifeistoobusy huio

I laughed too hard at this

Whaddya do when you see a space man? You park in it man!

Agreed, which software is it that the animations is made in?

Looks like the cad files from fusion 360 stuck in blender or some such.

@@erecxx No matter the true answer to this question, Fusion360 is free and a very good way to kickstart your 3D modelling career.

@@braytonlarson1860 thanks for the tip.

@@SpaceMissile Blender is also a free, amazing way of getting into 3D (and 2D!) animation

Or how about a rotary engine!

@@Panzercommander121 and put it in a miata

@@Panzercommander121 which rotary? Spinning Dorito version or the one that looks like a radial engine but the entire crankcase spins? (The Sopwith Camel used one.)

@@spamcan9208 An actual rotary engine, not a wankel engine. So yes, the WWI fighter style one.

make a rotary so you can have DORITO POWER

Hallo friend

That's funny.

no its not true that nosiy engien does not go faster

Lmao

@@riyasharma9082 well

Or indeed, that such a young man exists. The future looks rosy with brains like Tom's.

Absolutely! The true true.

Buuuuuut...its basically a turbo without a engine and is the engine soon....awesomeness hopefully with a flutter

Honestly, this is what I come to RU-vid for. People making stuff not just for likes and subscribers, but because they wanted to. And now it makes me want to try.

@@inutaro C

Would you prefer they don't? Tom deserves every bit of publicity

I have been looking at videos of miniature air engines, and have been thinking what performance or run-time can be achieved by using a small amount of liquid nitrogen that boils and comes up to pressure, still allowing the use of a lightweight tank

@@ianlehman8342 Use liquid hydrogen, if you can. Yes, it's flammable, but it's really light (14 times lighter than water) in comparison. Also you could probably use it's flame to heat a vaporization coil that sits between a liquid feed from the bottle, and the engine.

@@namibjDerEchte All these people who are way smarter than me...

@@namibjDerEchte or use that gas as an afterburner😆

@@Pascal_Robert--Rc_Creations that's what I was thinking, air piston engine at the fron, jet at the rear 😂

Well, diafragma engine is actually a very old concept. I think he have this ideia independent but it is not truly a novelty. Such concept is at leat 70 years old. 😅

>SI unit >based on psi

for me it's the kirk

LMAO severely underrated comment

@@ZaHandle Don’t worry, the pound and the inch are based off of the kilogram and the meter respectively (the pound is defined as 0.45359237 kg and the inch is 1/12 of a foot, which is defined as 0.3048 meters), making this a legitimate SI unit. I’m still waiting for a call back from the CGPM.

@@you_just i almost wrote a short comment explaining why you are wrong and warning you not to use inches in test when they specifically for the answers to be in SI units. then i read the last sentence and looked up what CGPM is lol i was this | | close to get whoosed

Even RU-vid's best civil engineer is impressed

Damn thats some civil engineering right there

An RCE sighting outside his habitat, we're lucky

:0

RCE what are you doing here go build some bridges and upload it 💕

The models were made in Fusion 360, then the textures and animations were done in Blender.

A channel with half a million subscribers is underrated?

Perfume is very underrated indeed

@@jospi2 yes, he needs more than half a million

@@jospi2 yes

@@jospi2 I don't know anyone IRL who watches his videos

Oh that’s good!

Briggs and Stanton

yeah, or h-d's without mufflers that have like 40 hp.

I had a Briggs & Stratton lawn motor that was 4 stroke. I hopped it up from 3 1/2 hp to 10 hp about 40 years ago. The exhaust was like a expansion chamber on a 2 stroke. It really loud at low rpm due to the extra long intake valves! At just off idle it made 5 hp. The ringing of the exhaust could be heard at a 1/4 mile away.

This is very good advice! Modular, easy-to-modify designs are wonderful for prototyping! Especially if you can use off the shelf parts. Then when you know the final designs, you can customize, make to measure and make any small improvements/refinements you feel are necessary

its better than imperial measurements. I propose its called 1 stanton. "how many stantons can that stanton cycle based air engine produce ? " is a question i want to hear eventually at a mechanical engineering lecture XD

It's worse, it's a mixture of Metric and imperial so noone understands what's happening

Lol

In this case the SI derived unit would be: N^2*m*s Or in SI base units: kg^2*m^3/s^3. Not very useful unless someone has a better way to represent the unit.

Liter is metric, and PSI is imperial... so...

Do you want the 12mm socket or the half inch? ;)

Yeah. In Canada, we use 3 systems: USCS, SI and Imperial. Luckily, an imperial inch is the same as an American inch.

Would be negligible compare to the weight of redirecting pipes to rear

@@olistanley5790 the diagram at 3:28 has the holes exiting orthoganlly to the drive shaft- so it maybe wouldn’t be too hard just to angle the holes 45 deg to the back and then open them up a little to allow for more pressure- of course the energy losses of redirecting the flow that direction probably reduce any noticeable thrust. But would be a fun little addition

The final version does vent rearwards.

@@Leadvest ahhh you’re right! Ignore me

@@OrionAerospace It just means that Tom though it was a good idea too (even before you thought of it)

That would be a perpetual motion machine. Have you built such an engine?

Hi

Bahahahaha!!!! Better sleep with one eye open! Never mind you’ll hear them coming

Hi!

@@Rick-the-Swift water under the fridge

All the thumbs-downers are Harley bikies.

If you have a well lubed cnc milled metal version you might as well ditch the diaphragm because then its probably airtight anyway.

might as well search for air-drills

Barnabydixon!! Omg. But yeah this was an awesome vid

Hi friends

Cool thing is it can be refuled mid air easily :-) who knows, perhaps a solar panel would do it.

@@katzda interesting idea. However you would have to limit your flight to sunny days only

@@thecommenter578 its still always sunny above the clouds.

@@katzda Why waste power using a solar panel to pump air into the air tank of a compressed air engine, when you could just hook up that solar panel directly to an electric motor?

Old air hogs actually had air powered engines, hence the brand name

Given the design of the engine that might be possible, though a 2 cylinder version first might be good

They probably had access to better springs and piston rings

Love this too

Hi friends

Part of that is he doesn't need to write a hundred page essay detailing the prototypes and decisions and just shows some of them with one or two lines of text.
