Pneumatic propellers rely on compressed air to drive motors or mechanical systems, rather than using diesel, electricity, or battery power. The propulsion method involves high-pressure air tanks that ...

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 supposed to revolutionize the world but have fallen by the wayside. Except in hospitals.

A research team develops 3D-printed pneumatic logic modules that control the movements of soft robots using only air pressure. These modules enable logical switching of the air flow and can thus ...

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.
