CONT

[...] dans le cas des CAT (pour Compressed Air Technology), l'air injecté dans les cylindres est réchauffé par la pression du piston pour atteindre 400 degrés Celsius. Un système breveté arrête alors le piston en haut pour y injecter de nouveau de l'air, remplissant complètement le cylindre. Un troisième temps permet d'injecter une nouvelle fois de l'air sous forte compression provenant des réservoirs. La pression ainsi générée repousse le piston vers le bas avant que ne reprenne le cycle.
