guest192473-justkidding Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I want to make an engine. I don't care what kind, as long as I can build it with simple tools and very little money. I am looking for any kind of engine, but what I am looking for is a good storage medium that I can transfer and then release energy from. Does anybody have any ideas or past luck? p.s. the whole point is for it to be powerful, such as powering a scooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydoaPs Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 What kind of power source do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guest192473-justkidding Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 I don't want to use a battery, so that is sort of what I am looking for; I need a good storage medium that I could use to release energy into some kind of engine. I was thinking about using solar panels or just rechargeable batteries or anything safe to produce the HHO but I don't know how possible it would be for me to make an engine for that.

imatfaal Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 if you want to avoid batteries, and I guess internal combustion is not acceptable (otherwise you wouldn't be asking); solar will work but I believe it would be an expensive build and you would have to lose weight everywhere, for a short distance you could use a flywheel to store energy (after spinning it up using some interesting energy source), and if you love engineering and want a silly build - what about steam/compressed gas? And, if by HHO you mean the electrolysis products of water, be ridiculously careful; hydrogen is not easy to store - it tends to leak. maybe give the board more of an idea of what your project is - and you will surely get some suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
