1Compressed air car — Tata/MDI OneCAT A compressed air car is a car that uses a motor powered by compressed air. The car can be powered solely by air, or combined (as in a hybrid electric vehicle) with gasoline, diesel, ethanol, or an electric plant with regenerative… …
2Compressed-air vehicle — The Victor Tatin airplane of 1879 used a compressed air engine for propulsion. Original craft, at Musée de l Air et de l Espace …
3Compressed-air car — A Compressed air car is an alternative fuel car that uses a motor powered by compressed air. The car can be powered solely by air, or combined (as in a hybrid electric vehicle) with gasoline/diesel/ethanol or electric plant and regenerative… …
4Compressed air energy storage — Conceptual representation of the compressed air energy storage concept. Off peak (low cost) electrical power compresses air into an underground air storage “vessel” (the Norton mine), and later the air feeds a gas fired turbine generator complex… …
5Air-independent propulsion — (AIP) is a term that encompasses technologies which allow a submarine to operate without the need to surface or use a snorkel to access atmospheric oxygen. The term usually excludes the use of nuclear power, and describes augmenting or replacing… …
6Compressed natural gas — CNG redirects here. For other uses, see CNG (disambiguation). Blue diamond symbol used on CNG powered vehicles in North America …
7Air start system — An air start system is a power source used to provide the initial rotation to start large diesel and gas turbine engines. Compared to a gasoline (petrol) engine, diesel engines have very high compression ratios to provide for reliable and… …
8air impingement starter — A type of starting system for gas turbine engines in which initial rotation to the compressor is produced by compressed air. The compressed air is supplied by either a running engine or a ground power unit and is directed onto the turbine blades… …
9air start — i. Starting or restarting a wind milling engine of an aircraft in flight. ii. A starting system in which initial rotation to the engine is provided by high pressure compressed air. The source of this air can be from either a ground external… …
