Simple Machines: Jackhammer Gabriel Cuilan Drafting Ms. Carlisle
History of the jackhammer • A jack hammer is also known as a pneumatic drill • Its creator was Charles Brady King in 1848 • It usually runs on compressed air or electricity, but sometimes it can run on hydraulics • There are 3 types of jackhammers: pneumatic, electric and hydralic
Pneumatic jackhammer • This jackhammer is ran by compressed air • It would be a jackhammer attached to an air compressor which supplies the air needed to work • The compressor itself works on fuel though
Electric Jackhammer • The electric jackhammer runs on an external power source • It does not need an air compressor for it to work • But it is not as strong as a pneumatic jackhammer • Recently, the electronic jack hammer has been updated to improve its power
Hydraulic jackhammer • A hydraulic jackhammer is much larger than the portable jackhammers • It can sometimes be equipped to mechanical excavators • They are used for road work, demolitions and quarrying • This jackhammer is equipped to a machine called a Rig Mounted • They are able to break down vertical walls and ceilings, normal jackhammers can’t do that
