Using off-peak electricity, air is compressed to around 1,000 psi (or 70 times atmospheric pressure), which raises its temperature to more than 600 degrees Celsius (1,100 degrees Fahrenheit).

That means compressed air, and that means a pressure vessel. Since just about everything else on this robot is 3D printed, they asked the obvious question.

Compressed workweeks and flextime are two options to the traditional 9 to 5 workweek that are becoming increasingly popular. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, by 1997 27.6 percent ...

Using compressed air as a power adder (supercharger) is in vogue again! Younger readers may be wondering what we mean by this and argue that forcing super-cold, highly pressurized air into an ...
