He does state that an air engine does get cooled by the expanding gas. And that isn’t surprising, since the pressure regulator is where we have the largest pressure change that the gas gets to see in the whole contraption. He does however state that the air tank/regulator freezed over, but not the engine. Though personally, it is my native language….īut I do have to ask where you got “That’s also the reason why the engine freezes over.” from, he never states such in the video. Now, I do understand that watching a 20 minute long video in a weird language with frankly lackluster sub titles can make things a bit hard for most people to follow along.

We look forward to seeing it in its final form.įor more inspiration check out the DIY electric motorcycle, and the flying motorcycle that the Dubai police is testing. admits that it isn’t very good as a motorcycle, but the amount of creativity and resourcefulness required to make it functional at all is the mark of a true mechanical hacker. He plans to build a side-car to house a much larger tank to extend range and improve riding comfort. The engine is fed from an external air tank, which he wears on his back he admits it’s borderline torture to carry the thing for any length of time. It can run for about 3-5 minutes on a tank, so the mounted a big three-minute hour glass in the frame. Because it runs on compressed air it cools down instead of heating up, so an oil system is not needed.įor steering, the entire front of the bike swings side to side on hinges in the middle of the frame, which is quite tricky to ride with a top speed that’s just above walking speed.

The crank mechanism is from an old Harley and is mounted inside a piece of stainless steel pipe. The cylinders are clear glass tubes with custom pistons, seals, valves and push rods. The most eye-catching part of the motorcycle is the engine and drive train, with most of the mechanical components visible. If this isn’t hacker art, then we don’t know what is. Falling solidly in this category is ’s beautiful, barely functional steam punk motorcycle. Sometimes it’s ok to sacrifice some practicality for aesthetics, especially for passion projects.
