Air Powered Motors: Small as Watermelons, More Efficient than Diesel

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.

OneCAT – the car that runs on air!

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

How To Build a Tesla Turbine From a Hard Disk Drive

Disks At first I tried using CDs because of their large surface areas, but they didn’t hold up too well under the milling machine. I also had a stack of platters from old and defective hard drives, but I didn’t know if the smaller diameter disks would work as well. One problem I ran into [...]

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 [...]
