Topless Air motor

[michaelj199]

Hi all
just completed an air motor i designed and built myself. it has no head but instead the crankshaft is also a valve that pressurizes the crank case. i have no build photos but i have some completed photos and two videos. all of which are terrible (camera phone pics).
my motors not the best looking but it runs.

I like it! Strange...outside the box...OK, but I like it. Where did it come from?

That is a very slick design. I like it!

Very cool idea. It's gotta be a twist on a two stroke crankcase.

Outside the box or not...it runs and runs well from what I see. Nice job Michael!

thanks guys
i came up with the design myself. i wanted a simple motor that had valving. it doesn't run super fast or super slow but it starts easy and runs like a champ.
