Engineer from Ukraine invented the engine that runs on air. According to the Ukrainian Einstein, this engine can destroy the richest corporations. Vitaly Frolov has designed unusual engine that runs on compressed air for 15 years, and offered to domestic industry. But the scientific council of USSR rejected the project - implementation of the invention threatened to closure of dozens of academic institutions working on energy-saving technologies.
The prototype for the engine was the Ferdinand Porsche car, but instead of fuel Vitaly uses air under pressure, which runs engine pistons and makes the car move. According to Vitaly Frolov: “If you put it into the car – you do not need a gearbox, a rear shift, you will have just a lever, one – back, one - forwards. It is especially convenient for women. And exhaust, which we will get, is more refined.” The car, which was with Frolov’s engine, was noted by VDNKh award, and in 1986 the inventor awarded Gorbachev award - 600 roubles for a victory in the competition for the project “environmentally friendly cars”.
The new engine was planned to be applied for the Antonov planes, first 300 engines were even produced for the experimental machine. But The Soviet leaders abandoned the environmental transport. However, the Ukrainian economy was interested by this engine. Vladimir Timoshenko, Engineer branch of “Yuzhmash”: “Because nothing similar have not yet been invented in the world, these machines have the highest efficiency - they spent just a little power, have minimum dimensions and minimum weight. You can get the maximum profit at minimum cost.”
