video of an Air Hogs Sky Commander helicopter’s engine (air-powered, not RC) running on compressed CO2 from dry ice & water in a 2 liter bottle high angular speeds occur around 1:10 & 2:00 turn up your volume to hear the pitch better! sorry for the abrupt ending :-Þ

In the YouTube or Google search, type ‘MYT engine’. Or go to angellabsllc,com. I also have a web page showing my Lego MYT engine with some details at ww w,geocities,com/drewh0208/Lego_MYT_engine,htm
Aww i had an airhogs plane with an air engine, back then I was too ignorant to know how fascinating they were and threw it out :’(
Well, be careful about what you consider ‘garbage’, because it might have useful parts in it (flyback transformers are an excellent example). Check out sixmhz,com.
What size are you looking for?
i love this motor
good engine, make an dry ice electric generator
put some wings on it… you know to see what will happen
thats awesome, My nephew had one of these air powered airhigs planes but he got rid of it i should have asked him if i could have it it was really cool the wings broke on it but the pump and air motor and tank were all good i shoulda kept it
dou think if u had like 4 of those engines u could power a bike for a min
I am I missing the point somehow? everyone seem kinda exited over this, dry ice looks more like a dry **** what’s the point? If it was flying I could maybe see it but it’s just a bottle with a propeller on it. In the words of Slim Pickens I’ve been to one world fair, a picnic, and a rodeo and that’s the stupidest thing I ever seen.
Is the bang valve setup on these engines efficient? I have an old weed wacker engine that I want to convert to air power, but I don’t know what kind of valve I should use. Help?
you ass, its a demonstration of the compressed air engine in a form anyone can do. Why don’t you learn the mechanics before you start imposing your humble opinion.
Does anyone know if these engines can handle 200-300 degree F steam?
to learn the mechanics would take to long I prefer to just poke fun at ***** like you
33 and your doing This? Get some fucking balls man. Either you are actually 13 or you have the anatomical maturity of a 13 year old. Either way it looks like you got some rethinking to do…
this can be done with a briggs and stratton lawn mower engine by adding two lobes to the cam so there are four equal(lift and duration) sized lobes all of which are 90 degrees seperation…add pressure directly through intake and giver’ we used to make those on the farm for go-karts, very slow but fun..
yea they can, its steam so it wont burn
O_o
time to destroy the world >=D
That guy just solved the energy crisis!
use a smaller bottle and let it fly!
pretty cool!
I didn’t know dry ice made pressure like that
thats pretty neat, someone could build a dry ice and water powered car or something and did you use hot water in this test?
it’s not the burning you would be worrying about.
The heat could melt/deform parts.
I doubt it, I wouldn’t try it.
when it melts it realeses a gas making pressure but its scary that the dry ice didnt blow up
that would be a good a/c
