MAE 3230: Pneumatic Wrench Dissection

About This Project

We were given a pneumatic impact wrench to dissect in a fluid dynamics context. We produced a video describing the function and fluid dynamic application of the pneumatic wrench. My contributions were dissecting the pneumatic impact wrench, helping with the math to compute the maximum torque, and editing the video. We found that the pneumatic impact wrench could generate torques of up to 900 lb * in, which is comparable to electric drills.
