Clean Power from AIR.
Airstorm Powertrains’ pioneering liquid Nitrogen engine technology signals a major shift toward sustainable energy generation.
Properties of Nitrogen
Nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that makes up about 78% of Earth's atmosphere. It is a non-metal, and its diatomic form (N₂) is relatively unreactive due to a strong triple bond between the two Nitrogen atoms. Nitrogen has a low boiling point.
Nitrogen gas is also used as a spring medium, offering advantages over traditional coil springs or air due to its stability and resistance to temperaturechanges.
This rapid expansion is due to the large difference in density between liquid and gaseous nitrogen. The expansion ratio makes liquid nitrogen ideal for use in positive displacement engines
Because the liquid-to-gas expansion ratio of nitrogen is 1:694 at 20 °C (68 °F), a tremendous amount of force can be generated if liquid nitrogen is vaporized in an enclosed space.
The clean energy solution is already in the air.
As the world continues its transition away from fossil fuels, Airstorm Powertrains stands ready to lead the way, empowering communities, industries, and governments to embrace cleaner, greener alternatives for generations to come.

The company's new product line includes a system for producing liquid nitrogen with clean energy, an engine for power generation equipment for industrial and commercial electricity generation. The engine works by expanding liquid nitrogen into gas, which drives pistons or turbines, resulting in mechanical energy with zero carbon emissions. The only byproduct is harmless nitrogen gas released back into the atmosphere.
