About this model
Single Cylinder Air Engine runs on compressed air, a vacuum cleaner, a balloon, or even lung power. I've included three adapters in the design to interface with each. The design incorporates two ports, one upper and one lower.

As pressure or vacuum is applied to the upper port, the lower port functions as an exhaust (when pressure is applied) or an intake (when vacuum is applied). The opposite occurs when the lower port is used for pressure or vacuum. Video of prototype on balloon power is here: Video of prototype on vacuum cleaner power in slow motion is here: I probably forg…
