i recently found a broken auto air compressor in the dumpster today:
the compressor mechanism just seemed to look like an engine to me:
so on further inspection I found that it has most of the parts that a steam engine has. I found that it has:
a piston
a cylinder
a crank shaft
and so on...
about the only parts this compressor does not have is a good flywheel which I already have (got it from an old tape player):
any advice for this build?
p.s. sorry for the lousy pics all I have is a $20 webcam
