Abstract
A pneumatic propulsion system includes pneumatic powered motors coupled to a rotatable tubular inner drive member of an axle assembly. The rotatable tubular drive member, for example when installed in a ground traversing vehicle, will be coupled to drive wheels of the vehicle. The pneumatic propulsion system of the invention further includes a plurality of radial compressor units mounted upon the axle assembly, and rotated and driven by the tubular drive member. A controlled release of pressurized air from an included reservoir tank energizes the pneumatic powered motors, causing a rotating of the tubular drive member and a propelling of the vehicle. The rotating of tubular drive member additionally directly drives the compressor units causing air to be pressurized and regeneratively transferred into a pneumatic reservoir tank of the propulsion system.
