Pneumatic motor low engine temperatures. The Pneumatic Quasiturbine engine is a compressed air pistonless rotary engine using a rhomboidal-shaped rotor whose sides are hinged at the vertices. The Quasiturbine has demonstrated as a pneumatic engine using stored compressed air It can also take advantage of the energy amplification possible from using available external heat, such as solar energy. The Quasiturbine rotates from pressure as low as 0.1 atm (1.47psi). Since the Quasiturbine is a pure expansion engine, while the Wankel and most other rotary engines are not, it is well-suited as a compressed fluid engine, air engine or air motor. Armando Regusci's
Potential energy the gravitational potential, often denoted by formula_47 or formula_48, corresponding to the energy per unit mass as a function of position. The gravitational potential energy of two particles of mass "M" and "m" separated by a distance "r" is The gravitational potential (specific energy) of the two bodies is where formula_51 is the reduced mass. The work done against gravity by moving an infinitesimal mass from point A with formula_52 to point B with formula_53 is formula_54 and the work done going back the other way is formula_55 so that the total work done in moving from A to B
