Talk:Compressed-air engine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Wikia

I think one could create a CA Wikia (compressed air engine and vehicle Wikia). --Mac (talk) 15:04, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] This page should not exist

It is a single purpose article devoted to Quasiturbine, which already has its own article, and yet the main topic of compressed air engines is covered in CAES. So either we move ALL that air engine stuff here (maybe not a bad idea) or kill this page. Greg Locock (talk) 09:34, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Actually I think the first option is a good one. Greg Locock (talk) 09:47, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

So, I need to find all the stuff about other air engines (the article makes some completely ridiculous statements) and stick it in. And then scale the quasiturbine puffery back in proportion. Greg Locock (talk) 02:22, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Technical details missing

• How do you check the efficiency of air powered motors?
• What is the output (in one place horse-power in another torque...)?
• More details are needed, so that we can compare these motors to other types (electric, combustion, hydro).
• What are the benefits and drawbacks of these engines? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pashute (talk • contribs) 14:06, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
