Elbow - Right Angle Drive - Machinist School

Here's a cute item made by our mentor, Marvin Klotz. The quarter provides a frame of reference, indicating size. This "Elbow" demonstrates that there is more than one way to skin a cat. This unique device changes the axis of rotation (horizontal to vertical) without changing the direction (clockwise/counterclockwise) of rotation. Has anyone made this little engine run using compressed air, internal combustion, etc? Check out the video at:

Happy Motoring!

Now all I need is an airhose 50 miles long; and I can put this engine on my bicycle and go 50 miles?
