The project consisted of designing, building, and analyzing the creation of a personalized oscillating air engine. This engine, also called a wobbler engine, uses compressed air to move pistons which then engage a crank disk which in turn moves a crankshaft and wheel. The project required the following parts:

1) Create a conceptual design
2) Find the variables of certain parts using known equations and importing them into a spreadsheet until they were logical and desired measurements.
3) Utilize a list of raw materials and their cost to create a Bill Of Materials and stay under budget. (Pg 5, figure 1.1)
4) Create engineering hand drawings that feature hole callouts, measurements, and material used
5) Model the engine via Solidworks
6) Create engineering drawings via Solidworks(Pg 5, figure 1.2)
7) Machine parts from raw stock and assemble engine
8) Create an Excel spreadsheet that displays the torque at different oscillation points of the engine stroke.(Pg 6, figure 1.3)
9) Finish and troubleshoot the engine until it ran
