Material: Aluminum, Steel, and Brass Units: (in) If you're looking for a simple engine to build that runs on compressed air, here's a nice set of plans for you. Here's what Rob had to say about his plans:

"This was the semester long project we did in class for Machine Tool Technology at the University of Central Missouri . I would like to hook the engine up to something and do tests. The base is made out of a 3/4 in thick aluminum and the body and cylinder is mild steel. The flywheel and crank is made out of brass. I used most tools that you would use with metals. Vertical mill, horizontal mill, metal lathe, drill press and grinding machine, thread tap. I even machined the threads on the wrist pin." - Rob K.

Here's a video of the little engine in action:

Thanks for sharing your plans Rob!
