At 15, he invented a new type of engine
He is Maruf Ovozi and he is becoming an international star. And this sudden notoriety, he owes it to his work and his talent.
The 15-year-old man, who poses proudly in front of his work, is a student at the academic high school of Samarkand, in Uzbekistan. A country for which it is necessary to take a history map to situate it well.
On the occasion of a competition for young talents organized in his high school, Muraf presented an original project, and suddenly won the competition. He succeeded in transforming a conventional combustion engine into a block capable of operating with compressed air. An achievement in itself and a real potential in these times of questioning of conventional engines.
"It is an idea that I had in mind for a long time. But I was waiting for the opportunity to put it into practice. I am very proud of my success and I hope to be able to contribute to the development of my country" declared the humble little genius of 15 years old.
Maruf's engine has a major advantage over other innovations of the same type, using compressed air. Its engine benefits from a tank that recharges itself thanks to the ambient air, as the car advances. No need, therefore, to produce or distribute compressed air. Magic !
This engine has yet to be perfected, which German engineers mandated by the VAG group will try to do, in close collaboration with the inventor of the principle, Maruf Ovozi!

A bit too much magic to be true ... and the overall yield should not be very high so I think journalists get carried away too quickly ...
Last Sunday I photographed a compressed air locomotive from the 1920s, I will pass you the photos shortly ...
