It’s not designed for the showroom, but kilometres under it.

October 23, 2013
A coal miner’s daily commute can mean travelling nearly 15 kilometres beneath the earth’s surface. It can be hot, challenging and dangerous.
Some mines use steel cages to transport their workers straight down into the maze of tunnels. Others use steep roads - known as drifts - that descend from the surface. Miners use these portals to travel in a dolly car to reach what is known as the pit floor.

But simply reaching the pit floor of an underground coal mine is only half the journey. Miners still have to make their way to the rock face.

Pumping up the silent engine

September 14, 2013
Italian-born engineer Angelo Di Pietro is looking to harness the same inspiration that served his famous ancestors.
For a quarter of his life, Angelo has been fascinated with the potential to redesign the automotive engine and create something infinitely more efficient, green and essentially silent.

The result is an incredible feat of engineering.

An invention that would have earned a nod from Da Vinci himself, Angelo’s engine uses a single rotary unit, running on compressed air that virtually eliminates vibration, internal wear and friction.
