from an engineering perspective… linear to rotational motion through the use of compressed air is nothing close to new. Don’t forget “steam” is a fancy way of saying warm compressed air w/ moisture.

from a technological standpoint… it’s interesting to see it used in transportation

EDIT: that article is from 4 or 5 years ago…what has happend with this idea since?
