  2. Abstract The radial compressor is a mechanism that generates power from oscillatory motion of multiple piston-cylinder combinations. Torque is applied to a cam shaft, which oscillates the pistons armature(s) simultaneously from one extreme position to the other. The armature movement, which appears to be complex, can be broken down into simpler components. This device actually breaks down into three classical, slider-crank, mechanisms. By analyzing each slider crank individually values for position, velocity and acceleration can be obtained.

  3. Introduction The radial compressor can be used in many applications. This device was created to be used on the job site as an actual air compressor. It worked well in that respect because it was compact and portable. This mechanism is very applicable for generating power for many instances, and it has a very simple set up. Power can be generated many ways using the radial compressor. You could even power a small vehicle or air craft. This is a very practical device that could be useful in many situations.

  10. Critical Parameters One of the critical parameters for the radial compressor is the length of the piston armature because if they are too long then the pistons will hit the heads. If they are too short then some of the power input will be loss. Another critical parameter is the speed of the cam shaft because if it spins too fast the piston armature could break and seize the engine. There is an endless list of critical parameters to consider. Choosing the parameters that matter the most takes precedence.

  12. Conclusion By observing the mechanism on more simpler terms, theoretical values for the dynamic properties of the piston armature(s) could be derived. Many other more complex mechanisms can be handled in the same manner for the most part. It is just a matter of what is observed during analysis.
