Adaptation of Classic Combustion Engines To Compressed Air Supply

This paper presents the issue of the construction and operation of the pneumatic piston engines. We analyzed different options for design solutions, as well as their applicability. It proposes its own solutions based on reciprocating internal combustion engines JAWA 50 and FIAT 126P, which was obtained during the adaptation of two-stroke engines air. The first attempts were successful operation. We showed the process of adaptation each of engines, their specifications and set the scope for further work related to the improvement of operational characteristics, as well as guidelines for developing a mathematical model of action.
