  • God help us! What a great idea. It was like using a missile to shoot a mosquito.

  • during the winter the excess heat is used to heat the house.

    you can make windmills to create compressed air..

  • Neat idea, but, the conversion factor from one form of energy to another....then back again has to hurt the overall efficiency. Did this motor/generator have magnetic bearings installed? What did you do to reduce the drag on the compressor pistons? What is the overall efficiency for this device......Pout/Pin???

  • I was on the team that developed this project and filmed the video. Yes...it's a Tesla Turbine.  Fun project to work on.

  • cool :P

  • noise issues will need to be addressed adding ancillary costs

  • i want to know about the compressed air energy storage report...can you send it to me?

  • Is that a Tesla turbine?

  • awsome! id like to see the efficiency specs of the power-in/power out~
