Air-Electric Drive System

Tah!

Tah! = There you have it!

Ta-Ta = Eat your hearts out!

Rat-a-tat-tat- tah-ta-dah = Too bad, yanks,-
here's another manufacturing job that an American was "unwilling" to do.

Still Waiting For Hard Facts

What are the details of this agreement will they actually manufacture anything?
I have spent some time checking this project and in MHO the numbers do not add up!
I have yet to see anything special about what is basically an air compressor running in reverse with a slightly unusual crank and some electronics.

If we could turn some of the hot air we have seen generated about this machine into energy then we would really have something worth talking about.

Let me quess...

Hi, everyone.

Sorry, TRY, I had to use one of Your pictures ...
So, let's think ...


1. Compressed air is stored in vessel, marked as 1. As mentioned, 300 bars.
2. Then it is led through air reducer (mark 2). I assume, that You reduce it till 30-35 bars...
3. Then, through the solenoid (mark 3). It can be of a directional or propotional action. I think, propotional (to regulate air flow).
Guys, this is "right pedal" (in cars).
Or, another version, this is a powerful heater...
4. Position 4. Probably there are two pistons on one connecting rod ?
But for sure, double expansion is used (cylinders have different diameters).
5. Pos. 5. Honestly, I am not sure. It can be a temperature sensor or a shaft's angle magnetic detector ?
6. Positions 6. Wow. This motor has multiple PTO shafts. Or, or ..... may be even this is a motor without conrod (in this case all these wheels are used for kinematic schema).....? Or, (again) or, such kinematic is used to "delay"
pistons at TDC... ?
7. Very interesting "piece". Rotating damper ? Air vane motor ? Cooler / fan ?

8. And whole unit is placed on a heater (that white box) ?

Guys, sorry for too many ORs, MAY BEs, PROBABLYs.

TRY, please confirm / decline my expectations...

P.S. For those, who still did not get it...
If You have ever seen diesel engine, starting on compressed air ?
Imagine, that there is a lot of compressed air, what is efficiently used...
But diesel engine will not have fuel system at all. It will turn only on air...

But some problems to solve:
1. Compressing the air. Solved. (Use ENVIROMENTALY clean electricity to drive compressors).
2. Storage of big amounts of compressed air with such pressure (300 bars).
(That is why TRY reports us "usage in not big applications). Partially solved.
3. Effective usage of compressed air. TRY already mentioned some ways to do so. Well, ideas are still welcome !

TRY, please reply...

Best regards,
Andrei

OK, now I'm the skeptic!

I don't want to say too much, but this thing looks suspiciously like a conventional motor. Why all the bother?

Maybe I should practice reverse engineering, revisit that book; "In search of excellence." ...Book a bloody trip on "the Hovercraft," ...or 'Try' out for a role on "the Apprentice." Surely I've missed my calling.

The Di Pietro Solution

Can I interest you in an all sealed, stainless construction, ultra-light, vibrationless, low-noise, multi in-line, hot-swapable, direct-drive, 10-year *replacement* guaranteed, infinitately scalable solution?

(Sorry, I can't attach images from this mac, because the differences are astounding.)

Hi,

MaxRes- You posted that link in Post #57, What's changed since you first posted it?

Good Questions Andrei, There are more unanswered than answered questions here with this what another poster refers to as "miracle" we see displayed before us.TRY as he has said twice in this thread is a shareholder in the company that builds these, with this statement I can only assume he is not a member of the design or engineering team. This may be one reason why he doesn't answer many of the questions posed, preferring to post another promotional item instead.

Air Engine

There is some good info on air engines here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_engine

Please also check the talk page as there are some further valid comments

purrrrr

What's changed? My perspective. Actually I was hoping to insert that image because not everyone will click an outbound link, and the comparison is astounding. Here I thought I was dealing with the stone age, and yet I use this as an exlimplary study in -basic- mechanics. Why, it still needs that silly hose attached.

Wiki is lots of fun, but who has the time to scour the World Book. I've got 250 unchecked links on the free energy forums I need to attend to first, not to mention all the Mfg. boat sites.

Hi,

MaxRes- Here are a few images off the site so everyone who wants to can see if they are interestd enough to click the links you provided.

Check out the disclaimer

I love the banner atop your Wiki link. Can't quote it exactly, (that was yesterday,) but something to the effect that this technology remains debatably to be proven. I think we all just love fancy pictures, James Bond cars and sleek trophy 'models' to go with them.

Try,we're just having fun at your expense. I am proud to see anyone eager to push the envelope.

Hi,

Do you mean this disclaimer?

Hi,

TRY- The above statement made by on Thursday last week had me believing that we would finally be getting some answers to some of the questions about this too good to be true revolutionary new engine.

It was a little dissappointing to see that all you have managed to produce to fulfill this pledge other than another post praising yourself for having started a thread which has attracted so many views is to answer the questions posed by a very switched on YF Member which in reality is little more than a glorified parts list.

If you can't answer some of the questions that I am sure not only myself but a number of other subscribers to the Forum would like to have answered maybe you could pass them on to some of your colleagues in the engineering department of the company and revert with the answers that way.

I look forward to your response with interest.

The de Pietro (Oops, didn't realize that I didn't get a new window when I hit reply so I could refer to the actual text, so I appologize if I've mispelled the target. ) vaguely reminds me os the Wankel engine with the three pointed rotor that Masda used quite a few years ago. Had a 2nd cousin in California that put 150,000 miles on her her's.

Yes, but

Every savvy Ozzie knows about the 'Orbital Engine.' This involved a spherical piston. As she begins to move, she rolls head over heel, but as you achieve speed, it slips to a horizontal axis, thus serving as a gyro-stabilizer for the vehicle. (No trim levelers required.) Not only did it get 100mpg, but the afterburn was an inherent portion of its operating principle, so less exhaust. Lastly, the inventor had a very clever direct-transmission, giving it tremendous torque on demand. (Collision,...Mayday?) But, rather than compliment the line-up at Holden, she sits covered in dust on the shelves at Ford Motors. (Hari-kari?, Roll-over? ENRON?)

Electrical power driven propulsion

Hi,

Would you please be so kind to let me know if in the mean time you have any experience in electrical power driven propulsions?

I'am building a new light (10 ton) fast offshore sailboat.

It would be great if I could install just a powerfull enough genset to be able to supply some 40 kw power and still strong enough to supply ample power for the rest of my electrics and electronic systems.

Thanks for advice,

Red Max
