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 ...

Scientists say they have created a methodology that could replace two diesel engines powering a ferry boat with pneumatic propellers. The two air motors replacing the diesel engines, according to the ...

The scientists created a pneumatic drive system consisting of two 40-liter compressed air tanks that are connected to a 6-hp "air motor," which is in turn coupled to a propeller via a steel shaft. As ...

Just several weeks ago, we told you about the Spaniard who invented the first water engine in history half a century ago. Mysteriously (or not), it ended up being a failure, and now the closest thing ...

Here’s something only ’90s kids will remember. In 1998, the Air Hogs Sky Shark, a free-flying model airplane powered by compressed air was released. This plane featured foam stabilizers, wings, a ...
