Turbojet engines are an incredible piece of 20th century engineering that except for some edge cases, have mostly been replaced by Turbofans. Still, even the most basic early designs were ...

A stream of compressed air does not look like a power source. In factories, it usually hisses through pipes, drives tools, then disappears as waste. But under the right conditions, that same airflow ...

A bladeless turbine design converts the static electricity naturally generated by dust particles in compressed air into usable power while neutralizing the hazardous charges. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Most ...

Researchers have introduced a contactless electricity generation method using only practical compressed air and a Tesla turbine structure. This system achieves peak outputs of 800 V and 2.5 A at 325 ...

Two scientists in India have conceptually designed a new, cleaner motorcycle engine that uses compressed air to turn a small air turbine, generating enough power to run a motorcycle for up to 40 ...

A pneumatic motor (air motor), or compressed air engine, is a type of motor which does mechanical work by expanding compressed air. Pneumatic motors generally convert the compressed air energy to ...

[Tom Stanton] has been experimenting with compressed air motors on model aircraft for a good few years, but keeping them aloft (and intact) for more than a few seconds has proven a tough nut to crack.

Newly formed firm Energy Storage and Power plans to make compressed-air energy storage machines for utilities that need storage for wind and solar power sources. Martin LaMonica is a senior writer ...

The fundamentals of compressed air are basic and easy to understand. The very definition of this air power is that it is “the use of compressed air, either naturally or artificially, for the ...

A novel but not new kind of engine is figuring more and more often in engineering literature and bull sessions. Last week the Cleveland Diesel Engine Division of General Motors Corp. gave details ...
