Wow Cory you've come a long way since I referred you to the pneumatic options website. I haven't kept up with it myself being busy with work but kudos to you my friend.👍😎🍻🇨🇦
I've daydreamed about stuff like this for most of my life. Imagine having a few solar panels rigged to a tank and compressor/battery. You could refill for free :) Keep following your dreams buddy this is beautiful. Glad to see others act where I've only been able to imagine.
Glad to see you’re still working on it, and it looks like it’s put together pretty well. It will be interesting to see distance once you have it working with a new regulator. I’m wondering where you get your tanks ?are they bought new or used?
The tanks are all used and too old to be used for breathing apparatus, so I have to use my own compressor, which is currently just a paintball compressor that I keep braking and fixing. Eventually I hope to outfit this bike with all new tanks, and have a nice compressor, but I need to make a lot of money for that
Can the air be reclaimed into a set of other pressurized containers so there is minimal loss.?...Tesla built something along these lines a long time ago and was able to capture the pressure on the other side..-John
@Biokemist-o3k my second prototype air powered bike has a regeneration feature. It's entirely possible to reclaim lost inertia when braking and put energy back into the system. While under power it is best to run efficiently and not have any extra resistance. It would not be effective to use the compressed air to compress air, unless the velocity of the vehicle is being reduced.
Nic e work Cory. I wonder. Are you using a constant flow of the compressed air? How about if you where to use explosions instead of constant flow. That is how we do it in mdi.Lu Keep the good work. It is much better to have air tanks that use very pollutant batteries for fact.
Yes, using a constant flow controlled by a ball valve into the rotary valve, and it distributes the bursts in sequence with the rotation without any electronics at all. The rotary valve can be modified to optimize different pressures. Currently this machine is set to have optimal expansion at 15 psi, which is why I was so excited when it started moving at only 10. It was designed to run at 200 to attain highway speeds.. this could be done at lower pressure, but it would require much larger pistons. Eventually I will want to figure out a way to turn the lights on, ideally using thermoelectric power generation from or directly after the regulator.
@@Pneubike hi you can use a dynamo set up on your front wheel to power a headlight or you can use that to power a batter which in turn powers your headlight and taillights and indicator
@@Pneubikethink your current setup is brilliant, but how is the exhaust pressure? I think frankdelrincon’s point was that explosions can sometimes be more efficient, since the input air pressure and flow rate matches the expansion ratio of the piston/cylinder much better. Basically what I mean by that is that you can let air expand way more before it reaches the exhaust which minimizes exhaust pressure and increases the total efficiency of the system.
@@xmysef4920 I cannot imagine how one could think that it would be more effective to expand an explosion than metered pressure? I can perfectly dial in the intake pressure to allow for full expansion inside the cylinder in accordance with the valve timing. That would be nearly impossible to do with an explosion.
Pleasantly surprised I’ve lived in Vermont for the past 30 years. Back in the 1990s, I used to drive past that spot going to the Queens Building Department.
Definitely need a bigger regulator once you blow the regulator it will make that sound I'd try and find a 250psi to 2500psi regulator this will increase your speed and later on u just need to some how figure a way for it to slowly enter in where the air gets pushed threw I'm sure just giving it throttle slowly once in a while will just do fine but to refine it for distance I'm thinking your gonna need to mix nitrous oxide in one of the bottles to maintained speed and mileage
Super cool, If your still working on it, make the second cylinder have a larger surface area and use the exhaust air from the other cylinder and feed in with the air from the tanks, in theory this should make more efficient. The idea is from older steam engines, you can look more into it if your curious
I just don't see you getting more than a mile of distance out of something like this. Maybe if you had some built in compressor somehow. Also if the leak issue persists, is going to get exponentially worse as you scale things up, those fittings are going to be your weakest link and I just think they're to fragile for an application like this for any length of time. It's a cool concept though
You haven't seen me distance test the other bikes yet I am assuming? Your criticism falls in the category of ignorance and can be easily discarded as pointless gibberish. Hilarious comment actually. The regulator that was leaking in this video has been replaced and I am looking forward to doing distance tests to prove how wrong you are.. . .
Free air with the purchase of gasoline at every gas station in cali, and at the very most, it's like $1.50 to $2.50 for five minutes of compressed air so it shouldn't ever cost more than a few bucks to fill up.
They are too busy covering up Trump's 15 year friendship with Epstein and their mutual love for "younger" girls. Not too mention Trump using the Lolita express on his campaign. Do ya think Ivanka is jealous? I mean yea, he dates his daughter, but isn't she too old for him?
Internal combustion production engines peak cylinder pressure during firing phase is 1000 to 1500 PSI of pressure and even higher for diesels in the 3000 PSI range so compressed air engines cannot out perform internal combustion engines but I have heard of people using compressed air bottles to super charge the engine instead of using a turbo or supercharger and what’s great about that is you have no turbo lag and can give you higher on demand power for any given range of the revs and there’s no parasitical loss of performance like you get from a supercharger. Perhaps you could have a go at supercharging an IC engine with compressed air.
@@Biketunerfy You have a very poor understanding of the potential of compressed air. While internal combustion requires massive weight to contain explosive force; a compressed air engine can be built to create an equivalent force at a small fraction of the weight.. The complexity and number of parts under constant stress in a combustion engine make them unreliable and prone to failure, as well as expensive to build and maintain. The efficiency of internal combustion will likely never achieve higher than 30%, because the amount of time given for expansion is not sufficient. A compressed air engine can have regulated pressure and valve timing set to achieve complete expansion before the exhaust is opened. I would continue, but it's likely you have your mind set and won't understand when I tell you that you can charge an air powered vehicle from solar panels and never pay for transportation again.. and no you are not limited to the power to weight ratios of a heavy fossil fuel vehicle.. a compressed air vehicle can be several magnitudes more powerful and still weigh less. Yes compressed air engines can out perform your gas powered engine..
@ You cannot contain enough compressed air for 300 mile journey and battery powered vehicles will win out before compressed air power is even given a seconds thought of development and to be honest even hydrogen fuel cell technology would come first before compressed air would be given any thought of development. You just cannot carry enough compressed air and you’re going to have to use a piston powered air compressor to recharge the air bottles so it’s pointless but I do wish you success in your endeavours but as you know I don’t think anything will come of it. You’re talking of regressing not progressing. Steam power would be better since water expands 1700 times its volume when converted to steam so finding a clean way to make steam is a better idea.
@Biketunerfy a battery powered infrastructure is not possible to maintain with the limited resources available on our planet. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE OUR ENTIRE INFRASTRUCTURE EVER TEN YEARS! WE CANNOT AFFORD HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS.. you are living a pipe dream if you think that we have any other realistic option to maintain a livable planet. Liquid nitrogen can have more range potential than even a fossil fuel, because it can be used to catalyze ambient heat extraction as the primary source of energy, and isn't limited to using only stored energy. I have already concluded that you are not the type worth arguing with, because it's clear you have already made up your mind and no amount of evidence will set you straight.. it's like arguing with a flat earther
@@Pneubike people who think oil will run out are living a pipe dream. You do know we can make crude oil synthetically it’s just more expensive. I’m always open to new ideas that have a tangible and reasonable chance of success. Oil is still needed even for compressed air systems and the steel and aluminium required to make them still costs fossil fuels, mining and leaves a carbon foot print. My mind is not made up just more down to earth. Producing cryogenic liquids is one if the most energy intensive things we can do. If anything steam power would be better since your pressures will be higher and maintainable and you will get the range plus the water is endlessly recyclable and you can get it from just about anywhere but turning it into steam cleanly is where the challenge is.
@Biketunerfy would you like to calculate the total btu emissions, the carbon emissions, and the darkening of glaciers, and then tell me that burning fossil fuels isn't melting the ice caps. If you don't even understand the problems then you are not qualified to assess the solutions, have a nice day.
@scrapahaulik5893 Trust me, it's frustrating to have put 9+ months into building an air powered motorcycle and have no way to charge it, and nobody with a high pressure compressor is willing to help.. I have lost most of my patrion supporters since my compressors went down, and it's only getting harder to survive, down to less than $40 a month.. it costs more than that for me to drive to the city. I have put myself in a tough spot being an open source researcher, and want to start producing air powered bikes for sale, but it's not easy to start when you have no capital to finance supplies. I am putting a new roof on the new pneubike laboratory.. soon, once that is done, I will be able to focus on air powered stuff again. This time using liquid nitrogen..
I look forward to the next video, really cool concept. Must have taken a lot of work! I wonder how far compressed air can be pushed in terms of practical range and power output beyond your tests to date. The weight of the tanks must be quite an obstacle.
Incredibly, most of the biggest, baddest reciprocating steam locomotives operate in the modest 120 psi range. This is reflected in the cylinder diameters.
you kinda look like rob zombie ngl. also this is really cool, ive seen models and toys and stuff built to run off pneumatic power, but this is the first full size vehicle i think
I will need to replace the regulator before I can do a distance test. If you know anyone willing to help please send them to the patrion link at pneubike.com
@@thedubwhisperer2157 yes I have a patrion.. I got $17 from it this month.. I have spent thousands of dollars of my own money to build these projects, thousands more on supplies like fittings, lines, regulator, valves and liquid nitrogen storage vessels for future projects, I share the lessons that I learn and open sourced the rotary valve I invented. Everything I have done has helped to removed the stumbling blocks for others to be able to successfully travel on compressed air. I welcome anyone to reproduce what I am doing, and they work well. I have a bike that can travel a distance of over four miles without peddling. I am currently struggling to be able to focus on the research because I have exhausted my resources to share this knowledge with you and don't get enough support to stay alive. This motorcycle has been upgraded dramatically with a regulator that has a four digit replacement cost, that I was lucky to score for a good deal after months of searching, and it still wasn't cheap. I saved for months and traveled hundreds of miles to get an Invacare oxygen compressor to be able to run it, only to have the compressor fail before it even fully charged it once.. it put enough pressure in it to maybe make one short video, not enough to do a distance test. So yes, there's a patrion for those who would like to see this technology advance to the next step, or if they want to help build liquid nitrogen powered bikes, or to support my ocean wave energy convertor..
sounds like that regulator got oil in the diaphragm or it blew it out. i stumbled on a news video on your bike, very interesting design but how long is it really gonna run? what pressure is in the tanks? i might be able to get a few regulators from work that are for the big steel cylinders.
@petestsck7774 I have destroyed two of them filling air powered bikes.. it's not a good investment because they are not engineered to fill full-size scba tanks.. the motorcycle has 6 tanks, so filling it once or twice is about as much as you can expect out of a $350 compressor.
It's interesting at the same time.If one of those carbon fiber tanks gets damaged in the crash it's going to be like a handful of grenade, For each tank. And I think the tanks are supposed to be checked every five years and discarded every fifteen years
@ronbakertileco it's a honda cm200.. titled in my name, so if I can ever afford insurance and tags, and find a way to charge it, it can be legally driven down the road.
@billyicon13 that's cheating when the goal is to prove distance and speed with compressed air.. lol.. my next big project is to build a liquid nitrogen powered boat using a thick steel hull as a heat sink.. follow my channel for updates. I have just been putting a roof on my new research facility, so haven't been posting much, but my intentions are still fully focused on developing sustainable transportation and power infrastructure technologies.
This bike has 3" diameter pistons. This equals approximately 7 sq inches of displacement. At 15 psi the pistons will push with over 100 lbs of pressure and can easily move the bike on flat ground with its current gearing. The system can be turned up to 200 psi before the pressure release valve opens, and at that pressure, the pistons will create over 1400 lbs of force.
@@dominicgandy8360 yes, I have already invested thousands of dollars into liquid gas storage vessels. I am planning several projects that will run on liquid nitrogen, starting with a boat, since it's got the best potential for ambient heat extraction.
Noticed you talking about a battery setup to use for the lights...I'm by no means a electrical engineer or anything, but you literally have a giant rotating mass there. Couldn't you make some sort of charging system with magnets and copper or such using the rotating assembly somehow? Magnets behind that huge sprocket or such? Or a stator setup somehow?
@JR-Rollin that is a possibility, but thermoelectric generation is potentially a better way to draw energy from a compressed air powered vehicle. It wouldn't require any additional resistance to the mechanics and should be able to create a sufficient temperature variance between the regulated pressure and the ambient heat of the atmosphere.
I won't know the top speed or range until I get the tanks charged. The regulator has had a dramatic upgrade since this video was made, but the paintball compressor I was using has self destructed. I recently picked up an Invacare oxygen compressor, and am now waiting for fitting to show up in the mail.
There's always a caveat or an excuse when the question of range/speed/efficiency comes up... Dude, just admit you're doing it for fun, not to be an eco-warrior...
There must be better ways to waste electricity than to compress air and use it as an energy store, but I can't think of one off the top of my head... At least you can heat your house with the huge thermal losses!
You're smart enough to understand how to repurpose the waste heat from compression, but apparently not smart enough to see solar power as an option to perpetually run it? Hmmm...
@@Pneubike Are you suggesting that solar power is more efficiently used in compressing air than, say, charging batteries? Have you any published and peer-reviewed papers you can link to?
Why does everyone think that this is "zero emissions"? Same as an electric vehicle, the power does not come from nowhere! It is a neat project, but the energy storage capacity of compressed air is very low, and in fact, one of the most expensive to produce.
It's only boomers who are stuck in the fossil fuel Era who think the energy source is an issue.. It's common knowledge for those who are keeping up with technology to understand that solar energy is the lowest cost source of energy. The challenge is finding a sustainable way to store and use the energy, and compressed air is completely sustainable, while batteries are not. I hope that helps you understand?
@@Pneubike Each windmill needs about 700 gallons of fossil derived oil to be changed on a regular basis. There are large maintenance costs for windmills, not to mention new cost and installation. They take up huge swaths of land, kill lots of birds, and are a noisy eyesore, just to mention a few things. Solar has its own issues, works ok in some parts of the planet, but very poorly in others, as it only works when the sun is shining, again........batteries. Compressed air is one of the least efficient energy sources, expensive to produce and store. I commend your project, it is definitely interesting, but in my humble opinion, not going to be the planet saving miracle? I agree that until there are new breakthroughs, batteries don't work, but I also think that high pressure air is not a safe and viable energy storage medium. Just my opinions, because we disagree, doesn't mean I dislike you or your project. You may have already found ways to overcome any shortcomings?
@larrythompson2967 yes, check my other videos for my ocean wave energy convertor. I am just awaiting patent examination and I hope to be supplying the world with nearly infinite completely sustainable energy. The. It's understandable that you can have issues with solar panels and large scale wind turbines are just a scam for tax subsidies, and will not ever pay back the tax pay payers.
@@Sometimesimfishing the space under the seat is reserved for a battery, which could be potentially charged using thermoelectric devices that draw ambient heat energy with the icy cold high pressure lines, the regulator, or the low pressure lines prior to the large heat exchanger.
@jakerazmataz852 you are not considering that a compressed air vehicle can be charged by solar, and the whole system can be created for less than a battery powered vehicle or the ongoing cost of fuel. Making compressed air the lowest cost, as well as the longest lasting and most environmentally friendly method of transportation. How is that not practical? What isn't practical is constant replacement of batteries, a vehicle most people can't afford, or paying hundreds of dollars a month in fuel.
@jakerazmataz852 Plenty enough range to cover over 90% of what people need. Getting groceries and going to work or school is easily within the range of a compressed air vehicle. Liquid nitrogen will have the range potential for long haul deliveries. The inefficiencies of compressed air have been an insurmountable hurdle until the price of solar has dropped off enough to make buying all the energy needed in a one-time investment possible at a lower cost than other transportation options. The motor design I developed creates the opportunity for the creation of compressed air vehicles at a lower cost than any other option.. so there are going to be compressed air vehicles on the road soon. It's currently the path of least resistance, but our society is still flowing in the wrong direction.
cory you are a absolute genius and when it's available I would love to own one. You may and you shall. Succeed my man, the world needs this

So yes, there's a patrion for those who would like to see this technology advance to the next step, or if they want to help build liquid nitrogen powered bikes, or to support my ocean wave energy convertor..
Cool build
sounds like that regulator got oil in the diaphragm or it blew it out. i stumbled on a news video on your bike, very interesting design but how long is it really gonna run? what pressure is in the tanks? i might be able to get a few regulators from work that are for the big steel cylinders.
It's lightning fast.
it works while also looks good too,
Wonderful 👏
What about those Chinese psp air pumps. Super high pressure pumps
@petestsck7774 I have destroyed two of them filling air powered bikes.. it's not a good investment because they are not engineered to fill full-size scba tanks.. the motorcycle has 6 tanks, so filling it once or twice is about as much as you can expect out of a $350 compressor.
I don't need air tanks. All I need is cabbage and some beans. No range anxiety either.
It's interesting at the same time.If one of those carbon fiber tanks gets damaged in the crash it's going to be like a handful of grenade, For each tank. And I think the tanks are supposed to be checked every five years and discarded every fifteen years
I believe Forklifts have used this concept as well.
Brilliant? What kind of range do you get from full tanks?
That's a bomb!!
I call it the "Ball Bomber".
Imagine if you could use the rotation energy to power a compressor so you can always have full air tanks.
yeah like operating a fan behind a sail 🤡
Now you need a generator and air compressor on the back....
pedal compressor😁
What have I stumbled upon!
It would probably have much more range if compressed steam was used, like the fireless locomotives.
me just farting like alot. how much did that add to the distance??
Put a oiler in your air system.vegitable oil one drip at a time.
It has a lubrication system. See my other videos for an explanation of the system I developed that recycles the lubricant.
Is that a real bob harley bike
@ronbakertileco it's a honda cm200.. titled in my name, so if I can ever afford insurance and tags, and find a way to charge it, it can be legally driven down the road.
I hope the camera man raised enough money for his eye surgery
try nitrogen, If I understand it, you can out a lot more nitrogen in a tank than you can air, for a much longer supply
@billyicon13 that's cheating when the goal is to prove distance and speed with compressed air.. lol.. my next big project is to build a liquid nitrogen powered boat using a thick steel hull as a heat sink.. follow my channel for updates. I have just been putting a roof on my new research facility, so haven't been posting much, but my intentions are still fully focused on developing sustainable transportation and power infrastructure technologies.
how many psi to work the engine properly?
This bike has 3" diameter pistons. This equals approximately 7 sq inches of displacement. At 15 psi the pistons will push with over 100 lbs of pressure and can easily move the bike on flat ground with its current gearing. The system can be turned up to 200 psi before the pressure release valve opens, and at that pressure, the pistons will create over 1400 lbs of force.
HOPFULY ONE DAY WE WILL HAVE AIR BICYCLES

If you used a liquified gas
It’s expansion could be by 1500
Then you would have enough gas to get somewhere
@@dominicgandy8360 yes, I have already invested thousands of dollars into liquid gas storage vessels. I am planning several projects that will run on liquid nitrogen, starting with a boat, since it's got the best potential for ambient heat extraction.
Airpunk 😊
Noticed you talking about a battery setup to use for the lights...I'm by no means a electrical engineer or anything, but you literally have a giant rotating mass there. Couldn't you make some sort of charging system with magnets and copper or such using the rotating assembly somehow? Magnets behind that huge sprocket or such? Or a stator setup somehow?
@JR-Rollin that is a possibility, but thermoelectric generation is potentially a better way to draw energy from a compressed air powered vehicle. It wouldn't require any additional resistance to the mechanics and should be able to create a sufficient temperature variance between the regulated pressure and the ambient heat of the atmosphere.
top speed? bout 40mph isnt it? also whats the range?
I won't know the top speed or range until I get the tanks charged. The regulator has had a dramatic upgrade since this video was made, but the paintball compressor I was using has self destructed. I recently picked up an Invacare oxygen compressor, and am now waiting for fitting to show up in the mail.
There's always a caveat or an excuse when the question of range/speed/efficiency comes up...
Dude, just admit you're doing it for fun, not to be an eco-warrior...
@thedubwhisperer2157 the guy has a brilliant mind your just jealous that psychedelics didn't help you in anyway
U meet a high flow reg
This guy is about 150 years to late. And we know from history that this is a dead dock
Nice steambike
You can get 7000psi nitrogen bottles...
Eh its better if you turn up the pressure on the shower and actually wash that mop
Is this filmed by a blind guy?
And Now for something completely different.
There must be better ways to waste electricity than to compress air and use it as an energy store, but I can't think of one off the top of my head...
At least you can heat your house with the huge thermal losses!
You're smart enough to understand how to repurpose the waste heat from compression, but apparently not smart enough to see solar power as an option to perpetually run it? Hmmm...
@@Pneubike Are you suggesting that solar power is more efficiently used in compressing air than, say, charging batteries?
Have you any published and peer-reviewed papers you can link to?
Why does everyone think that this is "zero emissions"? Same as an electric vehicle, the power does not come from nowhere! It is a neat project, but the energy storage capacity of compressed air is very low, and in fact, one of the most expensive to produce.
It's only boomers who are stuck in the fossil fuel Era who think the energy source is an issue.. It's common knowledge for those who are keeping up with technology to understand that solar energy is the lowest cost source of energy. The challenge is finding a sustainable way to store and use the energy, and compressed air is completely sustainable, while batteries are not. I hope that helps you understand?
@@Pneubike Each windmill needs about 700 gallons of fossil derived oil to be changed on a regular basis. There are large maintenance costs for windmills, not to mention new cost and installation. They take up huge swaths of land, kill lots of birds, and are a noisy eyesore, just to mention a few things. Solar has its own issues, works ok in some parts of the planet, but very poorly in others, as it only works when the sun is shining, again........batteries. Compressed air is one of the least efficient energy sources, expensive to produce and store. I commend your project, it is definitely interesting, but in my humble opinion, not going to be the planet saving miracle? I agree that until there are new breakthroughs, batteries don't work, but I also think that high pressure air is not a safe and viable energy storage medium. Just my opinions, because we disagree, doesn't mean I dislike you or your project. You may have already found ways to overcome any shortcomings?
@larrythompson2967 yes, check my other videos for my ocean wave energy convertor. I am just awaiting patent examination and I hope to be supplying the world with nearly infinite completely sustainable energy. The. It's understandable that you can have issues with solar panels and large scale wind turbines are just a scam for tax subsidies, and will not ever pay back the tax pay payers.
The motorcycle should be able to fly if you blow the air onto the ground.
It's almost like someone is pushing it
Where is the battery for lights? All air tanks😂
@@Sometimesimfishing the space under the seat is reserved for a battery, which could be potentially charged using thermoelectric devices that draw ambient heat energy with the icy cold high pressure lines, the regulator, or the low pressure lines prior to the large heat exchanger.
Guy filming is not taking it seriously as you can see
So, is it air cooled? 😂
Heard he got a flat
Camera guy dropped the ball every 10 seconds
Dude hold the damn camera normal
Hippies...lol
looks like it will explode
I'm pretty sure I could cycle faster and longer than that machine.
Steampunk cool, but not practical.
@jakerazmataz852 you are not considering that a compressed air vehicle can be charged by solar, and the whole system can be created for less than a battery powered vehicle or the ongoing cost of fuel. Making compressed air the lowest cost, as well as the longest lasting and most environmentally friendly method of transportation. How is that not practical? What isn't practical is constant replacement of batteries, a vehicle most people can't afford, or paying hundreds of dollars a month in fuel.
@@Pneubike What kind of range do they have? If they are so great, where are they?
@jakerazmataz852 Plenty enough range to cover over 90% of what people need. Getting groceries and going to work or school is easily within the range of a compressed air vehicle. Liquid nitrogen will have the range potential for long haul deliveries. The inefficiencies of compressed air have been an insurmountable hurdle until the price of solar has dropped off enough to make buying all the energy needed in a one-time investment possible at a lower cost than other transportation options. The motor design I developed creates the opportunity for the creation of compressed air vehicles at a lower cost than any other option.. so there are going to be compressed air vehicles on the road soon. It's currently the path of least resistance, but our society is still flowing in the wrong direction.
@@PneubikeWrong direction, according to you.
