Pneumatic motor success with pneumatic motors in the locomotive industry. In 1911 he designed a pneumatic locomotive and sold the patent to the H.K. Porter Company in Pittsburgh for use in coal mines. Because pneumatic motors do not use combustion they were a much safer option in the coal industry. Many companies claim to be developing Compressed air cars, but none are actually available for purchase or even independent testing. Impact wrenches, pulse tools, nutrunners, screwdrivers, drills, grinders, die grinders, sanders, dental drills and other pneumatic tools use a variety of air motors. These include vane type motors, turbines and piston motors.
Potential energy pipeline. In some cases the kinetic energy obtained from potential energy of descent may be used to start ascending the next grade such as what happens when a road is undulating and has frequent dips. The commercialization of stored energy (in the form of rail cars raised to higher elevations) that is then converted to electrical energy when needed by an electrical grid, is being undertaken in the United States in a system called Advanced Rail Energy Storage (ARES). Chemical potential energy is a form of potential energy related to the structural arrangement of atoms or molecules. This arrangement may
