CO2powered
CO2powered is a term used to describe devices or systems that derive energy, propulsion, or actuation from carbon dioxide (CO2). In practice it most often refers to portable, self-contained assemblies that use compressed CO2 gas stored in cartridges or cylinders to drive a piston, valve, or motor without an electrical power source. The concept spans consumer products and some industrial equipment that rely on CO2 as a working medium.
Typical implementations release CO2 from a sealed cartridge into a small chamber, where the gas expands to
Advantages of CO2powered systems include portability, quiet operation, and the ability to function without a power
Safety and regulatory considerations are important. Handling compressed CO2 requires proper storage and ventilation, asphyxiation risk
