NYCHA building gets new state-of-the-art trash system NEW YORK — A new state-of-the-art trash system in NYCHA's Polo Grounds Towers in Harlem promises to tackle energy, rodent and recycling issues.

The scientists created a pneumatic drive system consisting of two 40-liter compressed air tanks that are connected to a 6-hp "air motor," which is in turn coupled to a propeller via a steel shaft.

Engineers develop air-powered propeller to replace diesel engines in ferries The pneumatic system offered a 6% boost in propulsion force and reduced carbon footprint by 307 kgCO2/year compared to ...

Pneumatic tubes were touted as something that would revolutionize the world. In science fiction, they were envisioned as a fundamental part of the future—even in dystopias like George Orwell’s ...

Compared to other pneumatic systems, they have a fast response time of around 100 milliseconds. Wide range of applications "The potential applications of these modules are enormous.

Pneumatic conveying is an important technology in industries to transport bulk materials from one location to another. Different flow regimes have been observed in such a transportation process ...

The NYCHA project is the first residential pneumatic trash system in the United States in nearly 50 years, since Roosevelt Island built one in 1975 as part of the community’s master plan.
