Ekoskuter powered by compressed air
A student from RMIT University (Melbourne) has developed an innovative ekoskuter, which as fuel uses compressed air.
Darby Bicheno developed a three-dimensional model of scooter called "EcoMoto 2013". Most parts of ecometer made of bamboo. The final 3D model has helped to make designers ArdenDesign. They proposed to simplify the original version, due to which the functionality and endurance of the scooter increased.
Based on the unusual engine maker took over the development of her compatriot Angelo Di Pietro, who in the late 70-ies of the last century proposed a fundamentally new engine that runs on compressed air. He doesn't have the usual pistons and cylinders. Camera, thanks to a special system of changing their volume, and the rollers transmit the rotation of the shaft from which the wheels of the vehicle. Compressed air is carried out by special channels with petals. This engine needs no gearbox, because the maximum rotation can be achieved even at low revs.
