Angelo Di Pietro

Who is Angelo Di Pietro?

Angelo Di Pietro is an engine designer who developed the Di Pietro Motor air engine.

He qualified as Congegniatore Meccanico in Avellino and moved to Stuttgart to work on the Wankel rotary engine at the Mercedes Benz research laboratories 1969 and 1970. In 1971 he migrated to Australia where he established a construction engineering company. From his early experience with Wankel rotary engines, Angelo became interested in developing a more efficient engine than the traditional reciprocating internal combustion engine, and he has worked on various alternative concepts intermittently over the last 30 years. In 1999 he made a major design breakthrough with a Wankel rotary motor which runs on compressed air. The engine was called the Angelo Di Pietro's Rotary Positive Displacement Air Engine and Di Pietro claims that his engine is 100% more efficient than competitors' products and that the reduction in friction will allow the engine to turn with a pressure of 1 psi.

Di Pietro targeted locations in which automotive vehicles are required but cause immense health hazards such as produce markets and warehouses.
