[DeTomaso] Engine concept

[Will Kooiman]

Interesting idea, but this has been done before.  Engines and compressors are really old.

You just need to find the tests, and see how it turned out.

    It's a lot of energy to pump 150lbs, I think back to pv=nr^t and
    thermo that I can't remember from college.  My air compressor needs
    5HP and *time* to compress 30 gallons to 150lbs so that's probably
    something like 450HP seconds to get the volume of air needed for 20
    revolutions (about 1.5 gallons per revolution) and an incredible...
    like hot as the sun amount of heat.  I still think it would be neat
    and someone should definitely do it.   Those pumpkin chucker
    compressors run up a lot of aair pressure and dump it all at once.
    You might get a few seconds of run time and it would be amazing!
