Camry Idle Air Control Valve Cleaning
September 12th, 2009 | 
Author:
This is my Father’s 1999 Toyota Camry with the 3.0 liter V6 (1MZ-FE) engine. About every three years, the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve always gets clogged up causing the car to keep stalling when cold started unless the accelerator was depressed while the engine warms up.
It’s expensive to replace (someone quoted my dad $300) but I read that a shot of carburetor cleaner down the hole usually takes care of the problem.

HAAS TM-1P Air Solenoid Valve Utilizing M23 Relay
Demonstration video on how to utilize the M23 Relay on the HAAS TM-1P to turn on Air Blast nozzle. Use M53 to turn on the air blast and use M63 to turn off the air blast. This system can also be utilized to operate a Heinrich 5C Air Collet fixture to clamp and unclamp parts.

Train Horn (Video2)
By:Marc-André Blais:“How it works!?“
MORE INFOS: www.hornblasters.com
You want to buy Train Horns!? Go at www.ebay.com and search (Train Horns, Nathan Horns, Air Horns, Airchime…)
Hello! It is my second informative video. I compiled 4 vidéos together hoping it will help you has understand fonctionement. For the demonstration I used a small air receiver. Firstly the battery is connect to pressure switch allows an automatic remplisage between 110 psi and 144. Then pressure switch is connected to the 12V compressor. The 12V compressor can quickly fill a 5 Gallons tank (Maybe 5 minutes…) More the pressure in the tank is large plus the sound will be strong. Please use only plastic tube of 1/2inch because that increases the air flow what produces the power. Use an air pressure gage to know the pressure of air in your tank. (For your safety always use the Safety Valve! If the pressure is too high, it will let leave the air for not the tank explodes. Now, to activate your air horns while letting pass the air you will have the choice to take an electric valve(Solenoid Valve…High Flow Recommended!) or a manual valve like a ball valve or a true valve of train.
IF YOU WANT POWERFUL HORNS AT WEAK PRICE WITHOUT 12V COMPRESSOR INBORD( Between 150 and 200$!!:
1- Firstly find approximately 10 gallons air tank of preferance.(Between 50 and 90$)
2- Find Truck horns in a scrap of truck (between 30 and 60$)(I Strongly Recommended the same truck horn i have. Chrome Horns(2)
3- 20 feets of 1/2inch air tubes (around 10$)
4- Find a manual valve, an air pressure gage and the others fittings Steel or Brass. (Between 40 and 70$)
5- Finallement you filled your tank at a service station, a garage or at home starting from a compressor filling your inbord air tank using a Air Valve similar to a tire valve and the tool to inflate the tires…
Good luck in your projects!
With the pleasure of seeing you make Train Horn Videos!! =D

Horizontal 4-stroke Compressed Air Engine
This engine uses a valve of my own design to emulate a 4 stroke action, much like an internal combustion engine. However, this engine runs on Air. The intake valve is a standard poppet valve like an automobile engine uses. However, instead of a cam actuated exhaust valve, the engine uses a sliding piston in the head. When the intake valve is closed, a spring pushes the piston valve right and allows air out (and in) of the cylinder through the exhaust port. When the intake valve opens, the incoming pressurized air pushes the sliding piston to the left, closing the exhaust port and directing the input air to the cylinder where it pushes the piston down. A cam, which runs at 1/2 the speed of the crankshaft, admits air for a power stroke every other revolution of the crankshaft. The flywheels are about 3″ in diameter, the bore is 3/4″ and the stroke about an inch.

STEAM ENGINE FROM AN AIR COMPRESSOR Solar Engine for Future Tests
This is the engine that was converted from an old special tilt piston air compressor. This is the exact same principal from a certain type of “Air Hogs” plane engine. In the opener the engine was running at 35-50 psi and the second start was around 75-80 psi. Top RPMS so far is 1700 at 110 PSI. The timing still needs some work. Solenoid Valves with a Reed Switch and a Magnet are great ways of testing air/steam engines to perfect the timing. A slide valve will eventually be needed as the Solenoid Valve is rated at 100,000 - 1,000,000 cycles. This engine would wear it out in a day.
The flywheel is wafer board (simple easy but not balanced or perfected).
Not shown, top voltage from a permanent magnet motor (tread mill) 21 volts, top load 75 watts. The belt started slipping and the timing was hard to get back to perfect for the load.
This engine will run 4 minutes on a full 10 gallon tank of air. The last minute is slow around 500 rpms to 50 rpms.
