Lego 3 Cylinder Pneumatic Engine with Starter Motor

Welcome to my awesome Lego creation - the 3 Cylinder Pneumatic Engine with Starter Motor! I'm so excited to share this project with you on my website. It's all about harnessing the power of air to make things move, just like real engines do.

The engine gets its power from air stored in two big bottles - a 2.5-liter one and a 1.5-liter one. These bottles act as the main air reservoirs. When I release the air, it travels through tubes to the three cylinders in the engine. Each cylinder has a piston that gets pushed by the air pressure, and this creates a back-and-forth movement. It's super cool to see the pistons in action!

To start the engine, I added a Starter Motor, just like the ones in cars. When I activate the motor, it spins a flywheel and generates an initial burst of air pressure. Once the engine is running, it keeps going on its own. The air from the reservoirs keeps flowing to the cylinders, and the engine keeps turning. It's like having my own little power plant made of Lego!

I had so much fun building and experimenting with this project. It taught me a lot about pneumatics, mechanical engineering, and how engines work. I hope my creation inspires other kids to explore the world of Lego and engineering. It's amazing what we can build and learn with just a few simple bricks and some imagination. Check out my website for more details and videos of the engine in action. Let's keep building and dreaming big!
