[Tom Stanton] has been messing around with compressed air power for a few years now, and most of his work focused on piston engines. He likes using 2-liter soda bottles as lightweight tanks but their ...

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 ...

A century after Nikola Tesla sketched a turbine with no blades, researchers are now using that same counterintuitive design to pull useful power out of static electricity. The latest experiments pair ...

The growth of renewable power generation is experiencing a remarkable surge worldwide. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), it is projected that by 2050, the share of wind ...

Researchers optimized the vane angle on a multivane air turbine with an eye toward powering motorcycles. Researchers at the SMS Institute of Technology in Lucknow, India have come up with the concept ...

California is set to be home to two new compressed-air energy storage facilities – each claiming the crown for the world’s largest non-hydro energy storage system. Developed by Hydrostor, the ...

In the years immediately following the Second World War, jet propulsion wrought rapid changes in combat aircraft design. Jet engines promised to push aircraft beyond any speed possible with propeller ...

Two new compressed air storage plants will soon rival the world’s largest non-hydroelectric facilities and hold up to 10 gigawatt hours of energy. But what is advanced compressed air energy storage (A ...
