Unique pneumatic drive for a bicycle from a shock absorber and bottles
By bicycle remains a source of inspiration for craftsmen who are trying, if not to reinvent it, then to modify it or come up with new ways to set the two-wheeled "horse" in motion. The author of the YouTube channel "PROFESSOR PARDAL BRASIL" managed to surprise viewers, because he came up with a design that combines old shock absorbers and bottles of compressed air.
The project is based on a regular bicycle, which the author rebuilt "on his knee" in his workshop. He reassembled the frame, hung the wheels, installed two shock absorbers in the front, and a whole battery of bottles with compressed air in the back. The improvised pneumatic drive is controlled by just one tap on the handlebar. Open it - the bicycle is set in motion. Close it, and the noisy "machine" falls silent. There is a pressure gauge right under the seat to control the pressure.
Find out more about how this unique mechanism works and what engineering tricks were used to create it. The full video will reveal all the secrets of this amazing invention. Perhaps this will inspire someone to make their own bicycle-based DIY.
