Many of you most likely, already know the nicjasno.com website from Alex Zorko.
But some certainly don't, and will find it just great!
That's all about motors, cars and off-course LEGO TECHNIC.
The website, integrates a forum where many TECHNIC fans, discuss their constructions, mechanics in detail, how things work and their LEGO creations.
Alex, made several high-speed pneumatic motors, from which you can find there the photos, videos and instuctions.
His top model (not the one on the video below) breaks the 1400 rpm!...
4 cylinder inline motor (1220 rpm).
Alex, also made several big detailed cars, which also incorporated its motors.
See below a few photos (many more cars/motors, can be found at the original website).
And many others,...
Just another great site where you can enjoy LEGO and the most important, LEGO TECHNIC!

That's some impressive stuff, I never imagined pneumatics could be so fast!
But I'd never be capable of building such a thing... not only because of its complexity, but also because it involves glueing some pieces together and cutting/drilling others apart.
Great stuff!Hope to be able to "MOC" like that...some day!
Forgive if this is a silly question, I am quite ignorant: what do these motors "run" on? What is their fuel? What does pneumatics have to do with it.
Hi,
it is no a silly question, once you don't know the answer.
These motors run with "compressed air" from maybe an industrial like compressor.
Thats why they are called as LPE ("LEGO Pneumatic Engine").
I believe this is more "academic" or funny experiments than practical ones. ;)
Thanks, Conchas, but for some reason I can't access nicjasno.com, the operation was "aborted". Does anyone have a detailed explanation?
Everything Ok, accessing nicjasno's website from here.
