After receiving a litany of abuse from fellow hot rodders and mechanics about my lack of pneumatic capabilities in my shop in the past, I decided once and for all that it was time to get real and set ...

British scientists have developed an experimental compressed air system for the simultaneous cleaning and cooling of PV modules. The system was built with a compressed-air unit which was made of a ...

For consumable parts a typical shielded plasma torch has an electrode, a nozzle, and a shield. Many other torches are unshielded with an exposed nozzle and an electrode. The two consumable parts in ...

Many facilities have issues with compressor room temperature regulation. This is due in large part to poor planning. Too often the compressor room is the last part of the facility considered when ...

In a disused mine-site cavern in the Australian outback, a 200 MW/1,600 MWh compressed air energy storage project is being developed by Canadian company Hydrostor. The facility came about after a deal ...
