2. Compressed-air vehicle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed-air_vehicle

   The tanks must be designed to safety standards appropriate for a pressure vessel, such as ISO 11439. [7]The pressure vessels or air storage tanks that can be used in compressed-air vehicles can be made of low pressure (9 atm (130 psi)) or high pressure (more than 240 atm (3,500 psi)), and can be made of composite materials like thermoplastic and fiber reinforced thermoplastics, [6] [8] that ...

   Compressed air system with a PCM heat exchanger. [1] [2] Diagram of a compressed air system with a PCM heat exchanger. A compressed-air car is a compressed-air vehicle powered by pressure vessels filled with compressed air. It is propelled by the release and expansion of the air within a motor adapted to compressed air.

   The truck Oshkosh presented was unlike any other on the market to date, being the first fire truck equipped with pump and roll capabilities. [1] Although the MB-5 was designed for use on aircraft carriers, it had many features that made it an ideal fire truck for shore-based airports.

5. Retarder (mechanical engineering) - Wikipedia

   Exhaust brakes are simpler in operation than an engine brake.Essentially, the exhaust pipe of the vehicle is restricted by a valve.This raises the pressure in the exhaust system, forcing the engine to work harder on the exhaust stroke of its cylinders, so again the engine is acting as an air compressor, with the power required to compress the air being withheld from the exhaust pipe, retarding ...

6. 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.

7. Accessory drive - Wikipedia

   Klimov TV3-117 turboshaft engine. The accessory drive is the large casting on the top. The accessory drive is a gearbox that forms part of a gas turbine engine. [1] Although not part of the engine's core, it drives the accessories – such as generators, pumps for fuel and lubrication oil, air compressors, hydraulic pumps and engine starters – that are otherwise essential for the operation ...
