Between 2002 and 2003, my creative collaborator and I designed and fabricated a unique pneumatic engine. Almost all pneumatic motors are turbine based, but ours was/is "piston" based. Rather than using compressed air to spin a turbine, our design used the compressed air to operate linear actuators and then convert that linear motion into rotary motion by way of a crank shaft.
