Compressed Air Car

Now this is interesting… A rotary engine that runs on compressed air.

“There is no other motor as efficient as the Di Pietro Rotary Air Engine. It is 100% more efficient than any other air powered engine built to date and its high torque makes it the first air engine suitable for mobile applications. The invention has the capacity to revolutionise transportation, plus offer a multitude of energy-saving benefits in stationary applications. The engine has no emissions, is very quiet, has constant high torque, a low parts count, no vibration and is very efficient – only 1 PSI of pressure is needed to overcome the friction to enable movement.”

  Right. And how many PSI to output useful amounts of torque? Where does that pressure come from? Compressors require energy input, continual monitoring, are quite loud and vibrate a LOT.

  There may be some overall energy savings, but zero pollution? I don’t think so.

  The concept is pretty neat, though.

  zero pollution once you get the tank filled… kinda like zero carbs until you put that breaded chicken and dressing on top of it.

  I think I made one of those in elementary school with a balloon and some popsicle sticks.
