air can also be utilized to displace a piston. This is the basic working principle of the Air Driven Engine. It uses the expansion of compressed air to drive the pistons of the engine. So an Air Driven Engine is basically a pneumatic actuator that creates useful work by expanding compressed air. This work provided by the air is utilized to supply power to the crankshaft of the engine. In the case of an Air Driven Engine‚ there is no combustion taking place within the engine. So it is non-polluting

supply of PGMs is influenced by cost of production‚ environmental consequences‚ government policies‚ industry decisions‚ market price‚ sociocultural trends‚ substitution issues‚ and technological factors. After studying these factors‚ this study projects that world platinum production capacity‚ an approximation of maximum supply‚ could increase by as much as 69‚000 kg from primary capacity and 22‚000 kg from recycling‚ or 38 percent between 2003 and 2010. World production capacity of palladium could

Project The system comprises three major components a sand bed‚ a pair of concrete slabs‚ an arrey of springs and shock absorbers. A sand bed seismic absorption system is used to minimize and absorb the seismic waves during an earthquake. The system compromises of a bed of damp sand between two polymer membranes. The membrane consists of polyane‚ a flexible and durable material used mainly in trash bags and onsite construction. The polymer membrane also keeps the sand damp and maintains the moisture
