Pneumatic Motor Information

[S. Herzman]

To enhance life through the use of air pressure it is now available to produce energy with compressed air. I know. i have done it. A turbine, a generator and an air compressor is all you need. Any questions? e-mail me

If you are not willing to answer questions here, this becomes unpaid advertising, which we don't allow. I understand you have a patent on this motor. Any reasons why you can't discuss it here?

People receive patents for stuff that doesn't work all the time. Not saying Herzman's negative friction pneumatic motor falls into that category though.

My point is that a utility patent would protect him so there is no reason why we should have to email him for info as opposed to discussing it here.

[S. Herzman]

none, It is just loads of information. I am not trying to be in anyway uncoth or derogitory. I just want to let everyone know. Will discuss where ever and answer whatever questions whenever i can

[S. Herzman]

J. C. McSwell, it is true that it produces a great deal of friction, oil and a few bearings settled that early on. It does work, and to that end I am working on a page with a friend to show it in action and how it is built.

[S. Herzman]

again my apologies Phi, just trying to simplify the sending of information.

And you certainly weren't. I had it in mind that you either didn't want to talk about it in the forums for fear of someone stealing your idea, or that you were soliciting an email list for marketing purposes.

 

Enough of that. Tell us how you get around the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics violation this type of motor would seem to engender.

[S. Herzman]

this motor utilizes shaft bearings and a large oil pan. These items reduce fritcion and Bertiolli's (I think that is right) principle takes over. The larger the reduction in the travel path of a fluid or gas the more the increase in speed. The frictional problem is taken care of by a good number of bearings and oil

Does your turbine provide energy beyond what's needed for the generator to keep the compressor going? I am assuming the compressor powers the turbine, is that right?

[S. Herzman]

compressor powers the turbine, the generator produces more than enough energy to supply both the compressor and several auxillary functions as required or desired. I ran a small boat radio and depth sounder in the boston whaler I built with it and it ran well and powered those two devices with little effort.

So you're saying you get a surplus of energy?

[S. Herzman]

phi if you e-mail your address I will mail youa copy of my brochure and press release so that you can see one instance of the motor.

[S. Herzman]

blike,

the motor does produce a bit more energy than it requires to run and to move the apparatus that it powers. not much but some. on my original prototype I was running the motor and a small ship board radio on a 19' Boston Whaler out of Kings Point. We moved at about 24 knots and was able to increase to about 30 before we saw a small decrease in the efficency. Have since worked out a few new perks that should increase the sea speed drastically

I'm reluctant to give you my address. If you can scan the pages (black & white, 100-200 dpi) I can walk you through how to attach it to one of your posts here, so everyone can see it.

[S. Herzman]

I would be happy to show it to you. It is also on a web site now at http://xibo.info/PFM it is a pdf file so you will need acrobat reader. sorry it was the best I could do at short notice.
