  • 3D printed air engines, pumps. Pushing the limits to highest pressure - plastic pump limits with 3d printed o-rings. With commercial o-rings and ceramic liner, 10ksi should be easy.
  • High pressure testing - 5000 psi small pump - to modify for hydrogen pumping
  • Spark chamber + gasoline or alcohol
  • Alcohol lab - distillation and wood to ethanol
  • Fischer-Tropf Fluid with iron catalyst at 300C and 25 bar
  • Hydrogen production
  • Oxygen production
  • Cutting oxygen compression
  • Other industrial gas production - argon and nitrogen
  • Pistons
  • Rotary engines - turbines and rotary piston
  • Gearing and chains
  • Rockets
  • Jet engines
  • Electric motors
