Let me quess...

Hi, everyone.

Sorry, TRY, I had to use one of Your pictures ...
So, let's think ...


1. Compressed air is stored in vessel, marked as 1. As mentioned, 300 bars.
2. Then it is led through air reducer (mark 2). I assume, that You reduce it till 30-35 bars...
3. Then, through the solenoid (mark 3). It can be of a directional or propotional action. I think, propotional (to regulate air flow).
Guys, this is "right pedal" (in cars).
Or, another version, this is a powerful heater...
4. Position 4. Probably there are two pistons on one connecting rod ?
But for sure, double expansion is used (cylinders have different diameters).
5. Pos. 5. Honestly, I am not sure. It can be a temperature sensor or a shaft's angle magnetic detector ?
6. Positions 6. Wow. This motor has multiple PTO shafts. Or, or ..... may be even this is a motor without conrod (in this case all these wheels are used for kinematic schema).....? Or, (again) or, such kinematic is used to "delay"
pistons at TDC... ?
7. Very interesting "piece". Rotating damper ? Air vane motor ? Cooler / fan ?

8. And whole unit is placed on a heater (that white box) ?

Guys, sorry for too many ORs, MAY BEs, PROBABLYs.

TRY, please confirm / decline my expectations...

P.S. For those, who still did not get it...
If You have ever seen diesel engine, starting on compressed air ?
Imagine, that there is a lot of compressed air, what is efficiently used...
But diesel engine will not have fuel system at all. It will turn only on air...

But some problems to solve:
1. Compressing the air. Solved. (Use ENVIROMENTALY clean electricity to drive compressors).
2. Storage of big amounts of compressed air with such pressure (300 bars).
(That is why TRY reports us "usage in not big applications). Partially solved.
3. Effective usage of compressed air. TRY already mentioned some ways to do so. Well, ideas are still welcome !

TRY, please reply...

Best regards,
Andrei
