You can build the engine without modifying the Cylinder, you will get around 60-100 rpm at 58psi which is very slow. You must also install a larger flywheel, otherwise it will not run. I recommend using one of my modified cylinders, available on my Store - greengeckoworkshop.com/pneuma...

This is my First Switchless Pneumatic Engine Design, they are extremely reliable and simple. I have designed normal 1 Cylinder Engines in the past and they have worked great, however this one far succeeds them in every way. The Switchless tube squeezing design allows for higher rpm and less friction. You also can avoid modifying the pneumatic switch, which is a complicated process, modifying the cylinder is easy in comparison. Overall, this is a great engine to build if you are starting out or need a simple 1 cylinder engine. It actually makes a lot of Torque and Power, I am quite surprised how smooth it is, with 2500 rpm.

I bought this and all I can say is, it’s incredible!
Thank you! It's my favorite 1 Cylinder LPE Engine I have made so far
put 6 of them together and you have a perfectly balanced engine
Is there supposed to be two exhaust
Sounds like a turbo spooling up, beautiful,
It does!
And the air surge is just beautiful. Love that sound! A 2 Cylinder version would be cool and probably sound even better.
Sounds like if someone turbocharged a lawnmower 😂
Do a v8 that be sweet imagine the sound
No it doesn’t lol
Who Wants to See this Engine in a Flying RC Plane or even a RC Boat? Let me know... Also make sure you're Subscribed for New Videos! 😀
I want!
RC flying ship. why not?
Also another question, With 8Bars of pressure, how light of a tank can you fit on it? because i think then a boat is more feasible
Oh yes
@Yadobler Might experiment with co2
When u let off the power it sounds like a turbo fluttering
Its my Favorite!
But I wouldnt recommend this sound on a real car because that means there is some damage on the pipe I think:p
ProfessionalGamerPhil it’s that there is less exhaust exiting when the throttle is released as there was entering when the throttle was open, which causes the blades to stutter, I think I’m not sure, and the whistling is just the turbo spooling down from a higher rpm
@@poboypowder7567 no
batoh cz ok
Using reverse cam on the break apart to show a build has to be the smoothest thing I’ve ever seen. Just like what they do for Lego commercials, only followable!
Thanks!
I also loved the reversed "jedi"- building. It's awsome! 😄
you reversed entropy before tenet ? :)
Nice man! this engine runs super smooth! It's definitely worth buying ;)
Thanks! Yes it runs super smooth, when you turn it by hand it's like butter
Sounds like an actual aircraft engine
Thanks!
You have clearly never heard i piston prop engine run if you think a pneumatic cylinder sounds like an aircraft engine lol
You' re right
Looks pretty cool, maybe try to make a W16 from the bugatti? I would buy that
So would i
Yes! That will be the next engine!
@@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop That would be awesome!
would be cool but also would be $$$$
It's fantastic
Next step is 1:1 engine 😏
Full Size! Yes!
yeah switchless ! I work on a same field now with a dual piston (90°) side by side with switchless mecanism, I try to make sliding valve but hard to do !
Awesome! Yes this Engine took many versions to get right, i think this ones like the 11th concept. A sliding valve would work nicely, i have experimented with them and they seem to work well also, the rocker valve style suited this engine better. Thanks!
What do you mean by "sliding valve" please elaborate
@@jamesc1932 check my switchlesd engine for that :-)
Buy this Engine on my Store - greengeckoworkshop.com/. Shipping out now!
It revs like a proper engine too! I just found your videos and they are super awesome. I don't have a ton of pneumatic parts yet but the single cylinder engines are super inspiring.
It would be sooooo cool if it was in a airplane and I love your vids
Thanks, Yes it would!
It sounds a lot like an old single cylinder, nice job! The added sound of the propeller is also nice
Great video! I love how you sell these! I’ve always wanted one of these but never have the time or the parts to make them. But you sell em! I think I’m gonna buy the V-8 one and RPM test it. Thanks for doing this!
Please make a plane with this engine.
This LPE is insane! The timing mechanism is something I could’ve never though of!
sounds smooth like butter
“For a challange, try to do a 4 cylinder or a 5 cylinder.”
Holy **** the sound is absolutely amazing
Good videos have no dislikes and this is an example.
I'm gonna buy this soon, love LPE's, wanna dip my toes into the Green Gecko LPE kits, and possibly get a V8 MK3 in the future... super cool machines! keep it up!
I LOVE IT SO MUCH BECAUSE IT IS SWITCHLESS AND I HAD PROBLEMS WITH SWITCHES. NOW IT WORKS !!!!! THANK YOU
Amazing! I am building a 1-cylinder LPE myself and it sure isn't easy! I admire all the masterpieces you've created! If anyone has any tips on how to build one, please be sure to tell me!
Amazing engine!!!!!! I bought the instructions and built it with my own parts. It sounds amazing and on about 40PSI I get 1000 RPM out of i!!! incredible engine good job
That's Great! Glad you like it
It sounds like the engine from an ultralight of some sorts, potentially due to the propeller. I really love all these designs, they are so cool!!
It does! Thanks!
Have you actually ever heard an ultralight airplane run? They are two stroke in most cases. They sound nothing like this. This sounds like a steam engine at best lol
Found all the parts and was able to assemble it by pausing throughout this video. Just tested with a bicycle pump, and it works great! Time to take out the air compressor!
sound ,perfect
Imagine if this was connected to a compressor driven by one of your alternative buggy motors! Oh boy! I think I am going to incorporate this design in my robot. Thanks for the idea!
That would be cool!
I like how you set the engine up to measure torque and power
amazing sound
You’re really good at your hand movements taking it apart.
This man legit took this apart just to put it together in reverse. Legend
Sound 10/10
Nice video. It’s runs very smooth
Yes it does
Beautiful u have instructions can’t wait to add this to my
Collection I have ur lpe i3 built and on display
Awesome, yes i will also be making a new I3. It's such a cool design with the crank.
on highest RPM sounds amazing
Dude, that engine is frecken cool and it sounds like a proper air craft. Not to mention, what a professional video, well done. I like the reverse build.
Thanks! yea reverse video works a treat!
EPIC!!!
Love the entire video honestly, creative editing and of course the fascinating engine...
Thanks!
I really want someone to make a low resistance knewmatic switch for these lego motors, that would greatly reduce the shaking and power impulse stutters between valve changes, and make the entire require much less pressure to operate, that'll be the next big step in lego motors I think
Look at this absolute Jedi building some good LEGO.
I absolutely love the design and would love to see it on a Rc airplane maybe with a variable pitch prop. That would make it easy to find where the engines nice and happy at. The main issue I’d see would be finding a low weight air or CO2 storage method. Gearing up the drive shaft might help get longer flights if there’s enough torque out of it.
Cool 8/10
Good sound
I always wanted to have one of these
If it was a combustion engine, I'd say it has a MEAN compression/exhaust leak.
I'd prefer if the music was off during the engine sound and RPM tests, personally.
For being a single cylinder this is about as smooth as it gets! Would love to see this design expanded to a few more cylinders. 4? 6? 8 even? I'd love to see it power an RC car.
Thanks, yes i will be designing more switchless engines
Awesome technic video. 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Very breathy engine sound.
10 out of 10!! New sub
The engine sound great. Sounds like a diesel generator/detroit engine witch is turboed
I’ve built one of the 1 cylinder ones before but never for it running before I don’t have an air compressor. I was wondering what are the limits when it comes the building air compressors with Lego? Like the max PSI and Volume it can hold.
You can pair up lego pumps and they will run it
You absolutely have to make a v12! You could maybe fit it in the tatra chassis and double the power.
that flies
Nice 😉
Thank you! Cheers!
Using a switch you may increase effeciency of the engine. For a RC plane I recommend going at least 2800RPM with a variable pitch blade. Lot to ask but with the stuff I have seen from you previously I do believe you can do it
could you do a tutorial on how to set the engine up to work on compressed air? i couldn’t tell from the video how you did it.
I don’t know how you make these but it is insane 😯 I was wondering if you could make a engine with the cylinders from the set 42053
Nice Video
Thanks
I will say that it sounds very strong.
That engine sound is definetely R-rated
I love it
Hey you should make an automatic switch, maybe with a servo or mindstorm. Also I recommend to get his LEGO pneumatic kits they are very good
Wow I need to go make one of those. I would love to see it in a plane! Also, I followed your instructions for modifying the valves and cylinders which work great if you take your time! Anyways, I designed a very high powered v2 LPE using the large cylinders. Would you consider using the large cylinders? With my tests, it has extreme torque and can run at a very low PSI, which could probably work well for a tank or maybe a crawler.
Nice!
Hey green gecko, do you recommend this engine or your i6 for a vehicle?
Gonna try to make it with the small cylinder
Have you considered a W 12 pneumatic engine it would be quite the challenge
Can you make one with the small pneumatic cylinder?
so, what took me years to design and make, takes you minutes? good job!
When will you build ripsaw tank.I want to see it in action
10/10
It‘s a very cool creation !! I try to build a train that runs with pneumatic power. But I can‘t reach enough pressure with 8 of the Lego pneumatic pomps. Do you think I should try with an non-lego compressor ?
Yes I Would
Awesome engine. That can run Even at 5psi!
Yes it does!
Can it be more compact if you change the dark Grey gears for grey gears ? The blue pieces wont hit themselves
It sounds exactly like 50 ccm engine in my first quad bike 😀
How did you calculate the power of this engine. Can you please explain it
this is a nice design because its significantly easier to mod the pistons than the switches, i have a whole bunch of dead switches from my attempts.
i considered 3d printing some lego compatible rotary valves, but its probably not possible with an fdm machine (which i own). perhaps a resin printer would do a better job.
Thanks, yeah resin printing is the way to go. I have access to a professional resin printer and am also certified for it, I will try print some this year when i get round to it.
Can you use a car tire air compressor to run it like the hand held ones? Please let me know I want to buy one
Really nice glad your back buddy do u still think u could possibly make the opposed twin engine I asked about before
Thanks! Yes you've been with my channel for years, I've seen you comment a lot. I'm making a W16, Radial and a New V12 turbo and new I3 engine. Plus a special experiment engine too. I will try do a opposed twin after those
Green Gecko Lego Technic Workshop no problem glad I can help
when do we get that ripsaw tank finished
Make an engine that revs even higher like an F1 engine. Would be good for a fast car.
Yup, once I get more money, I’m going to buy this and the pumps because I don’t have an air compressor
Awesome!
I wonder if playing with the timing increases rpm or low end torque
Lol I bought one, can’t wait for it to get here.
Thanks!
Green Gecko Lego Technic Workshop do you know about how long it takes for it to be shipped? I’m a bit anxious cuz of the wait lol.
Is it possible to build an engine that works with a very small tank so you can use it for lego RC cars (Thinking about 2-4 cylinders)
The Sound and the RPM are great, but the engine won't be that reliable, cause of the squeezed tubes, or?
Thanks, switchless engines are reliable, the tubing is fine and rated for it
I think I remember a while back you said you found some legitimate “turbo charging method,” did this ever go anywhere? Also how’s the Porsche coming along?
Yeah it's still in progress with the turbo, going to post a video on it as soon as i can
I made a helicopter type thing with this engine, it’s powerful enough to lift about 250g not even at full speed
Awesome!
Bet it can lift 450g at full speed
I think I might buy from your store man, I'm pretty new to Lego pneumatics (also your videos are really helpful :) )
and hey how does a switchless engine work if it has no switch to make the piston go in and out?
This Switchless 1 Cylinder Engine uses Silicone tubes that are squeezed in the Switchless Valve on the Engine. Basically the Air is directed into each end of the cylinder at the correct timing, which makes the engine run. If you place an order for this Engine, It will be shipped the same day. I will send you an email with the tracking information once shipped. Any questions let me know.
@@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop Alright! thank you! Btw can it work with lego hand pumps?
@@zachp1687 Yes it can, if you have a few of them combined together. For the best result I recommend using an Compressed Air Can (Air Duster Can) or Diy Soda Bottle air tank. Check out my other videos for the diy air tank.
@@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop Is two enough or should I get more? Thank you so much for help :)
@@zachp1687 I would recommend 4 Air Pumps. If you have any more questions let me know
I rate the sound 10/10 sounds like a turbo diesel
when will you turbo charge or supercharge this engine
If that thing spins any faster it’ll start taking off
does it actually power a plane? especially Tom's
idk how these work so what stops the pneumatic cylinder from just going down and staying at the most pushed position? how does it come back uo?
The Switch or Switchless Valve in this Engine changes the direction of the cylinder. It Works similar to a real engine.
You can buy this engine on my store if you want to experiment with these Lego Pneumatic Engines, I included everything needed to run the engine in the Kit - www.greengeckoworkshop.com/
How fast have you made it go?
Sounds like an old two stroke diesel
Maybe try making it more than one cylinder
r u still working on that rip saw been waiting on that
Yes, it will be out this few months
@@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop sweet
U smart
Hi. I modded my cylinder and it works
Awesome!
@@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop thanks but how does yours hold pressure?
@@superbaldi1260 Yes
Make a RC Gecko!
I recently bought one of these engines and used a soda bottle as an air tank by hooking it up to a pneumatic switch. Do you know why the tubing blows off when I pump it up past 2 bar? I have tried to fix this issue but nothing seems to work.
Hi, I recommend using zip ties to hold the air tank tubes on for high pressure.
Thanks
With switchless design, is that how to make turbo Chargers for your newer engines?
Yes
