The Magnetic Air Car: a Step Towards Free Energy Devices?
San Jose’s West Coast Green conference from last week had a point of attraction: the world’s first fuel-less car, made by Magnetic Air Car. They even say it will be produced beginning with 2010.
Air Powered Motors: Small as Watermelons, More Efficient than Diesel
If you watch The Green Optimistic you already know that we covered air cars in previous posts, both MDI CAT’s and the Angelo DiPietro air motor. The first time we wrote about these inventions was about 6 months ago. Now, MDI and Angelo DiPietro have contracts all over the world with auto makers to sell them the compressed air technology so automakers do what they do best: cars.
Tata Motors is Expected to Release an Air-Powered Nano
For those who don’t now, Nano is a car from the Indian company Tata Motors. This mini car would sell at $2500 and will have new green features that would please many eco-savvy people. As some latest news say, Tata will release an air-powered model, running a compressed air engine from MDI Enterprises.
Air Powered Motoscooter
The TV presenter Jem Stansfield modified this small moped to function on compressed air stored in two high pressure carbon fiber tanks, like the ones that the firefighters use. The engine has been replaced by two rotary air engines.
OneCAT - the car that runs on air!
Remember an older article about a small company, called MDI, who had a plan in building a car that runs totally on air? Now they did it. OneCAT is a five-seat car, with a fiberglass body, weighting about 350kg and costing about… 4800$! And that’s cheaper than any car (maybe except the recent car from [...]

How To Build a Tesla Turbine From a Hard Disk Drive
Please note that I am not a Physicist or a machinist (yet). I have been interested in Nikola Tesla for some time, and I was looking for a project to gain some experience in the machine shop. My job is to provide Lecture Demonstrations, so my goal was to produce a [...]
How a Slotted Disk Turbine Engine Works
Introduction.
The purpose of this paper is to offer the reader some insight into how a bladeless steam turbine can be constructed and used. The use of inexpensive slotted disc turbines in place of much more expensive bladed turbines can fill a void in the need to convert heat energy to electrical energy, and can help [...]
