The idea is simple enough. Compress and store a large volume of air into a high-pressure tank. Use a pressure regulator to control the air coming out of the tank, and step it down to a traditional ...

For many projects that require control of air pressure, the usual option ... his own electronically controlled, closed-loop pressure regulator. The metal block is a custom manifold with valve ...

And, conversely, regions of warm air can bend the jet stream and produce regions of high pressure. Regardless of mechanism, once the high forms, warm air surges north. A large region of high ...

High pressure often represents stable air, while low pressure can signify instability. On a cold, sunny day there will be a significantly higher atmospheric pressure than when a big storm is ...

We’re surrounded by interesting engineering, but some of it is sealed inside a housing, away from easy inspection. A case in point; the humble gas regulator. It’s in equipment all around us ...

the stretched rubber helps push the high pressure air out. And this is how pneumatic devices work. Pneumatic devices use air pressure to create movement, but let’s go back to the balloon.

and at the point where the heat and pressure are highest, some air is diverted. Some of the hot, high-pressure air, called bleed air, is sent to de-ice wings and other surfaces, some goes to ...

The air above the poles is cold. The cold air sinks creating high pressure. The air moves towards the equatorial low-pressure zone, and warms up when it meets the land or ocean. At around 60 ...
