Cars that run on compressed air sound like a fantastic idea on paper, but bringing this technology to the masses has proven, well, a difficult road to travel. There's some positive news on the air-car ...

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 ...

Aside from ‘free energy’ devices which some claim are myths (even though the information is just being suppressed so that we use more oil), creating power out of nothing is next-to-impossible. The ...

Start-up General Compression looks to commercialize concept for storing electricity generated by wind turbines using compressed air. Image: Pumping wind power underground Martin LaMonica is a senior ...

Typically in the RC community, radio control boats rely on small nitro engines or electric motors to get around. Fitted with traditional propellers, they’re capable of great speed and performance. Of ...

Smaller engines with fewer cylinders and less displacement could produce more power and torque by turbocharging. A turbo or turbocharger is a forced-induction device that utilizes exhaust gasses to ...

A startup says its compressed-air technology could do a better job of storing the power generated by wind turbines. SustainX, a startup in West Lebanon, New Hampshire, has received $20 million in ...

During World War II, automotive companies inspired by advances in jet engines tried to adapt the technology for use in cars. Chrysler's so-called Turbine Car (left) used a rotary fan, propelled by ...
