2. Lycoming O-290 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycoming_O-290

   The Lycoming O-290 is a dual ignition, four-cylinder, air-cooled, horizontally opposed aircraft engine.It was first run in 1939, and entered production three years later. A common variant of the type is the O-290-G, a single ignition model which was designed to drive a generator as part of a ground power unit.

3. Variable-speed air compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-speed_air_compressor

   A variable-speed drive (VSD) air compressor is an air compressor that takes advantage of variable-speed drive technology. This type of compressor uses a special drive to control the speed ( RPM ) of the unit, which in turn saves energy compared to a fixed speed equivalent. [ 1 ]

4. Opposed-piston engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposed-piston_engine

   A variation of the opposed-piston design is the free-piston engine, which was first patented in 1934. Free piston engines have no crankshaft, and the pistons are returned after each firing stroke by compression and expansion of air in a separate cylinder. Early applications were for use as an air compressor or as a gas generator for a gas turbine.

5. Pneumatic tool - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_tool

   A pneumatic tool, air tool, air-powered tool or pneumatic-powered tool is a type of power tool, driven by compressed air supplied by an air compressor. Pneumatic tools can also be driven by compressed carbon dioxide (CO 2) stored in small cylinders allowing for portability. [1]

6. Indicator diagram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicator_diagram

   An indicator chart records the pressure in the cylinder versus the volume swept by the piston, throughout the two or four strokes of the piston which constitute the engine, or compressor, cycle. The indicator diagram is used to calculate the work done and the power produced in an engine cylinder [2] or used in a compressor cylinder.

7. Compressor map - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_map

   The exit area is sized to pass the specific volume at the design condition. [1] Second, all the rotor and stator blades in an axial compressor, and impeller inducer and diffuser vanes in a centrifugal compressor, [2] [3] are angled to meet approaching air head-on at the design condition to minimize incidence losses. Incidence losses reduce the ...
