    The engine will create sprk, fire, ect, purely off of surrounding pressure.

    It might be a bit difficult to explain in text, so I'll give you this link to my extremely underdone prototype.


    I was planning on making the first air powered engine on PowderToy, but got sick of the idea. What? Even the great Leonardo da Vinci gave up on some of his ideas didn't he!?!? Also, I was going to use it as the first analog input simulation. (Using vac, you can control the direction you want the spark to go, like moving your thumb on a control stick.)

    Essentially, pressure from a direction send water to that direction and causes sprk on corresponding metal wing. Maybe you could use the idea to make such an engine, since I bet you'd do way better than I would have the patience or skill to do.

    That isn't exaclty powering it with pressure. It is using water.

    I conisder it a simulation because, you are right, it is using water. However, i consider the water to have absorbed the energy of the surrounding pressure and converted into electricity. (In my own little happy place, that makes sense.) Kinda like how your engines sometime use more than 1 spark to ignite the engine over an over.

    @pegosh2
    You mean kinetic energy of the water is turned into... Electricity?

    OH BTW:

    MERRY PANCAEKZ DAY!

    I WISH I'D HAD SOME PANCAKES!

    Basically. Pressure itself could never generate electricity the way PT is now. Pancekz!
