Hi everyone! I didnt realize how close I was to finishing this, I had started a worklog, but Im *really* bad at keeping them. Ive also been busy planning another project, non model related (hint: Its a home energy monitor)
This engine can be "cleaned" up a little bit, but for some reason or another, I feel that the imperfections give it a little character. I didnt have 4-40 screws on hand, I actually had to make them, which was quite fun and gave it even more character in my mind. She wont run on anything less than 15ish PSI, and at 100 PSI it really flies! I did use a heavier flywheel after all.
I had to make a small hub for the flywheel because the hole was too big. I forgot I drilled for a through hole for a 1/4-20 screw to mount it for machining purposes.
This is the highest pressure to the lowest pressure. My Little Compressor cant manage to keep up.

And this video is it running at the minimum pressure that would barely operate it.
