Self Oscillating Pneumatic Machine Prototype

- This is a pneumatic oscillator that I made. It doesn't serve a purpose as it was more of a personal challenge for me to make a self oscillating air powered machine. It uses two pneumatic toggle switches, two push button air valves, two air rams and one magnetically coupled rodless cylinder.

Proto G thumbs down for begging for money.
You're an artist. I enjoy seeing your creations.
Thank you!
That was awesome!
Useful in a simple pick and place application :D
Wow , really impressive.
That’s awesome man
I like the floor anchors and the one two three blocks.
would be neat to see a chart of the osc. speed increase per air-pressure increase
Cool build! Today I was just rebuilding an old bellows valvair motor. trying to get oscillation with bad poppet seals is a draw.
Nice. It's an air version of an electronic "h-bridge!"
A single 4 way shuttle valve would do all that without extra cylinders and all those switches. Can do amazing things with air logic. Need to watch though.
That was awesome...
Congratulations. Sounds like a steam locomotive.
Omg I was thinking that same thing when it got sped up lol
Cool machine. You should use it as an egg hatcher for Pokemon GO
Good idea!
Whats the cycle life of those switches?
Very good.
This reminds me of a multi-vibrator circuit I used to make as a kid for alternate flashing lights.
It's very similar to a multi-vibrator!
mad scientist!!
That is awesome
Absolutely amazing. Great work! Now i have this weird idea for an Atari Punk console with an 8-step baby sequence that is powered by air ... wonder if you could somehow make a crude 555 timer with this ...
Thank you, that would be cool!
cool i like it
I was wondering how was it works, now I know
oh and could the magnets get off if it moves too fast ?
If I pressurize it to one side with a higher pressure than usual, I can pull them apart but they reconnect when I let go.
Wow that is really nice ! I am guessing that the air that exits the first cylinder's "exhaust" port and feeds into the second cylinder is a a pressure too low to counteract the pressurized air that makes the second cylinder act in reverse ?
Exactly but the air doesnt releases the cylinder, instead it just compresses and joins the next cycle with new air intake. But i think it will lessen the air valve life
you should put some rubber padding on the points of contact, because right now it's super fucking loud. lol great thinking though, just found your channel and I already love your work
Thank you!
what is the purpose of this???
I like the idea, But wont that be easier to create a pulse generator circuit and use it to toggle the input of the magnetic coupled cylinder using a 5/2 solenoid?
You’re correct but that would require electricity and there are many situations in factories where pneumatic is the only option. Even still, this could be done with a simpler pneumatic circuit. This is more of a Rube Goldberg showcasing the magnetically coupled rodless cylinder at the top.
Where did you find those buttons?
It's beat boxing
What is pneumatic cylinder tipe?
What name?
cool! are there any practical uses?
Use it as a paint shaker.
Throw a magnet on there, build a stator and you have a air pressure-powered generator
Vulcancritic - you could do that so much easier by connecting any pneumatic drill to a generator
There is like 12 or more pieces of hardware that do not need to exist. Confused. Must be just for demo or educational purpose. All this needs to be is 1 double cylinder with a few valves.
Harika. 👌
rodless is 25mm ?
can we control pneumatic system by arduino full control like plc ?
You sure can, with solenoids
pretty cool! be careful of your fingers!
How much does one of those pneumatic rams and toggle switches cost?
Starts at $12 depending on the brand and quality. I bought them used.
It's just like some sort of fancy steam engine.
Would the magnetically coupled rodless cylinder have any issues with induction-current losses of energy when it moves back and forth along the non-magnetic, seemingly metallic, cylinder body of the piston? I am thinking that the moving magnets would induce a current in the body of the piston. If so, that would be interesting to see, maybe if you somehow used that current. Just curious.
that is a crazy compressor but cool
thanx!
i want you to make a machine for me - how do i contact you
What is the purpose of that machine?
it's cool and all but i think i saw this contraption in a reccurring nightmare
What is the top shaft called? And it is magnetic why it's magnetic?
Subhajit Aich magnetically coupled rodless cylinder
it has a magnets in the cylinder tube and cylinder cairrage . this will magnetically couple the plunger on the inside to the cairrage on the out side were you will mount what ever you want to move. if to much force is applied , the magnetic couple will separate, instead of doing damage to the cylinder, you can reset it and continue the opperation.
damn, i miss my vocational school moment
You could probably "purpose" this for maybe a paint can agitator type of rig or the like.
Next stage a Flip-flop (electronics), a building block of computers :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip-flop_(electronics)
Yeah, I realized it looks exactly like a multivibrator after I made it
I do all the travel and reversal sensing using a Arduino with common optical sensors. The sensors sense when a infrared beam has been broken. You can then use a common 12 volt pneumatic valve to reverse the air flow to the cylinder. You cab greatly simplify the system you have doing something like that. No need for all the components that do the reversing on this machine :)
This guy shows the air valve in action

The idea behind this was to make a Rube Goldberg type machine. It’s overly complicated on purpose without electronics.
This is all you hear in manufacturing kitchens lol
Why is this exciting?
It's an overly complicated machine with no purpose. What's not to love?
Thumbs up :)
Thanks!
Proto G 👍👍
Now run it at 200 PSI...
Coleman Christy 200 psi is too high operating pressure for components used .
It can be done by using air-logic components to control air pilot operated valves rated for the 200 psi operating pressure.
Pneumatic control products for pressures over 150 psi are limited.

hi
hey!
sir all specifion all part name
so what?
Astable
Hello brother...I'm from India.. I want a device that will automatically ocsilate continously with out help of power or gas or fuel... That should work with natural resources.
BROKEN
Huh?
ummm......no
congrats, you effectively recreated tesla's earthquake machine, except you have the pressure flip a manual switch instead of having the pressure automatically change the movement direction (and of course, no airspring to conserve momentum and not slam into the wall)
