How To Make a Lego Technic high rpm 1 Cylinder Pneumatic Engine - Parts list now available

[@legomasterbuilder9118]

It was disappointing at first because it didn’t work... but then I set it up correctly and it worked so well!!!! Amazing creation bro

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Thanks

Wich compressor are you using? A MOC lego compressor? Anyway I appreciate this kind of small construction simple but so nice to look at. Lego should be inspired.

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

i am using a air tank, i made a video on it... Thanks

[@smallenginesgarage7168]

I dont know the issue. It can do 180 degrees, but it cant complete the full circle and it doesnt turn so smoothly. I am using a hand pump to operate it. Whats wrong?

[@JaceN3D]

Well, maybe you need more psi

[@supertuber7821]

Watch you all the time!😜😁😆

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Awesome!

[@ninus17]

can i build it without modifying my parts and can it run slower than shown in the video ( i dont have the money to buy more cylinders if they break while being modified )

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

If you want to build it without modifying the cylinder the fly wheel will need to be geared up higher. Modifying the cylinders is real easy and you cant really break them easily so i wouldn't worry about breaking them. Just search it up on YT to see how to do it. Is you switch modded? Thanks

[@superbaldi1260]

@@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop i used the non modded cylinder and used the 1.666:1 ratio and it works

[@hunter7476]

wow i moded my switch and cylinder its a beast can it power a tractor if i gear it down really low?

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Nice!, probably but a engine with 2 or more cylinders would be better for a tractor.

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Check out my LPE powered Tractor i made a while back, it has a inline 3 cylinder

[@hunter7476]

will it work with a modded cylinder and not a switch ?

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

I am not sure, probably would

[@TunikaTante]

hello have a question you can also use the new pneumatic distributor included in volvo pneumatic excavators for this 1 cylinder engine (sorry for my english) hallo habe eine frage kann man auch mit den neuen pneumatic verteiler der in volvo pneumatic bagger enhalten ist benutzen für diese 1 zylinder motor

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Pneumatic Pumps don't work in LPE's, but the large cylinder will

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

thanks a lot

[@redstonegod296]

Wow this engine works on a single can of air duster. It is my 8th engine

[@Jay-kc2pm]

Can you run it off of a handpump?

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

i dont know, i run my engines off a air tank

[@Jay-kc2pm]

Okay, I'll gather all of the pieces ant try it. Also, if you have time, would you be able to do a tutorial on how to attach a compressor to LEGO pneumatic tubing? Thanks in advance!

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

lego tubing fits over a needle attachment for pumping up balls

[@superbaldi1260]

@@Jay-kc2pm yes you can run it off a hand pump

[@leoweber3629]

Can you make a version for the larger cylinders? Like the ones that were more recently made?

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

yes, i am planning that

[@samzheng2433]

Could you tell me what you use to supply air at a constant 40 PSI? And maybe do a turtorial on modding the switches and cylinders

[@kaapporaivio]

Is the cylinder modified?

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Kaappo Raivio yes

[@mrhemsworth6601]

It does not work?? what kind of engine do they use or a pumper

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

you need at least 10-15 psi with good flow to run this engine, it will run best on 30-40 psi. i am making a video on the air supply setups for LPE's like this. it is coming soon

[@hunter7476]

does it work better if i would super glue the hoses on??

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

you only need to super glue hoses when running over 60psi

[@grzegorzgrzyb2570]

good engine 👍

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Thanks 👍

[@theblinkstykrab3106]

How would I go about powering this creation?

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Using an airtank, check out my DIY air tank video on my channel

[@royan.jdm2]

The other one cylinder LPE it can go very slow, can this engine go on 10 psi, i d prefer slow rpm engines, it is more realistic like steam engine "

[@LluisTheWoodWorker]

what air supply do you use?

[@toecuttergpx]

thanks man for the instruction video,s they really help,i made the i3 engine and copyd your tractor

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

no problem, a new tractor is almost finished and it will have instructions probably. it uses Lego power functions rather than a pneumatic engine. might post some WIP photos on google + today

[@elhancho1255]

Can you link the parts to this? I want to build one

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

there is no parts list sorry, i am making parts lists in my latest engines.

[@cripplekid0902]

Green Gecko Lego Technic Workshop can u please make a version of this same thing but with the newer bigger pneumatic cylinder PLEASE

[@cripplekid0902]

Green Gecko Lego Technic Workshop I can see you are very talented in this LEGO stuff This is really cool, thank you for making this

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

no problem, thanks

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

i have that on my list already, will make it sometime.

[@smallenginesgarage7168]

New switch type please? Please????

[@materdoit5667]

If you have a 3d printer you should make a pneumatic switch that doesn't have a center point

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Good Idea

[@mussdroid]

is the air coming from fanta bottle again or connected to pump motor

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

yes it is coming from a custom air tank " soda bottle "

[@jacobbreanna9530]

How do you not have to switch it??

[@obsidian9998]

Air hog engine replacments.

[@obsidian9998]

Or more as a improvement to the toy. Or make a Lego plane that flies.

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

i have heard of these air hog things, but never had any

[@Uly_24]

i dont have the old pnumatic cylinder can i use the new one

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

yes

[@gameboy-rz9cs]

What kind of air source do you have for the engine want to realy know it

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

i pump up soda bottles and run it off that or i run it off a air compressor sometimes

[@TheMobilityMechanic]

Green Gecko Lego Technic Creations how many psi ?

[@TheMobilityMechanic]

Oh it said in the vid

please do this engine with pneumatic system v2

[@joshjlmgproductions3313]

Would it be possible to make an internalized pneumatic lego engine, similar to the design of a 2 stroke gasoline engine? (Air pushes piston down from the top, and escapes when it reaches the bottom)

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

not with the current lego pneumatic parts, good thinking tho

[@joshjlmgproductions3313]

Green Gecko Lego Technic Workshop Ah ok. Thanks. (Also thanks for replying quickly) But ya, like what you said, I don't know if there's the right kind of parts made yet. What I was thinking was the intake and exhaust would use a similar brick to the valve bricks you currently use, except there would only be one prong/hole, and it would be a circular, hollow brick. The piston would go down a hollow 2 × 2 brick or 3 × 3 brick. (It would depend on the circumstances of building capabilities) Then it the air would exit the lower valve, and the cylinder would lose pressure, allowing it to return back upwards. (By the force of other pistons) Since there's no way to test this, theoretically, (after using an external force to initiate rotation) the piston (maybe 2) with the most pressure would force itself down, and as previously said, retire after the stroke, (That could be taken darkly out of context) and then repeat. It would have to work on an engine with at least 4 cylinders though, (Maybe actually only 2) as 1 cylinder cannot push itself back up. Anyways, thanks for replying man. 👍
