2. Air compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_compressor

   Air compressor supplies air into a nail gun.. An air compressor is a machine that takes ambient air from the surroundings and discharges it at a higher pressure. It is an application of a gas compressor and a pneumatic device that converts mechanical power (from an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc.) into potential energy stored in compressed air, which has many uses.

3. Pneumatic motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_motor

   A pneumatic motor (air motor), or compressed-air engine, is a type of motor which does mechanical work by expanding compressed air. Pneumatic motors generally convert the compressed-air energy to mechanical work through either linear or rotary motion.

4. Compressed-air vehicle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed-air_vehicle

   Dipietro eccentric shaft, rotary vane air engine. There have been several dubious claims with undisclosed information. However, the "Di Pietro" engine has been partially tested with CAD and finite element analysis program and published in scientific papers by Jarosław Zwierzchowski from Lodz University of Technology in 2017, [4] which is an eccentric shaft vane motor that uses low air pressure.

5. Compressed-air car - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed-air_car

   The compressed air for such vehicles might be produced easily by common types of renewable energy. For example, multistage air compressors and intercoolers or hydraulic pumps might be attached directly to trompes, hydropower, VAWT wind turbines or stirling engines using a solar concentrator. Direct mechanical compression avoids the Carnot ...

6. Compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor

   Submarines use compressors to store air for later use in displacing water from buoyancy chambers to adjust buoyancy. Turbochargers and superchargers are compressors that increase internal combustion engine performance by increasing the mass flow of air inside the cylinder, so the engine can burn more fuel and hence produce more power.

7. Compressed air - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air

   Compressed air is an important medium for the transfer of energy in industrial processes and is used for power tools such as air hammers, drills, wrenches, and others, as well as to atomize paint, to operate air cylinders for automation, and can also be used to propel vehicles. Brakes applied by compressed air made large railway trains safer ...
