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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Called compressed air energy storage, or CAES for short, the new tech involves using compressed air to store surplus energy produced by wind turbines. While this isn't an entirely new idead, the ...

We've been taking a closer look at some of the standout blue-sky concepts presented by the likes of Mercedes and Cadillac at the recent LA Design Challenge – here's Volvo's take on the lightweight car ...

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 ...
