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 ...

[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 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 ...

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 ...

As turbine blades experience high temperatures they can begin to elongate and rub up against the engine’s case wall. Credit: Australian Transport Safety Board Modern turbine engines are reliable when ...
