以高壓氣體推動渦輪轉子這個技術在工業研究上已有一段的時間，應用的範圍包含研磨機、牙醫的手機牙鑽、氣動釘槍、氣動車等等，空氣壓縮儲能可以轉換成能量輸出，做照明、發電、或是個人載具的動力輸出。舉牙醫的鑽牙手機為例，選擇氣體動力來源是為了達到輕巧、高轉速、低汙染的目的，這也是許多氣動工具採用高壓氣體的主要原因，近年來使用氣體作為動力源之氣能轉換裝置相關研究如雨後春筍般不停的增加。
本研究主要目的為設計開發氣動渦輪之氣能轉換裝置，動力系統轉子模擬分析與設計後進行轉子與外罩機械加工、軸承配置與定位 、 轉子動平衡校正與建立量測系統與數據擷取系統，並將擷取之數據做性能之驗證，量測並彙整轉子之扭力、轉速、進氣壓力、氣體流量、輸出馬力、渦輪機效率數據，做為動力系統轉子整體性能提升之參考依據，若性能驗證符合預期，則將所有之性能數據彙整建立一氣能轉換裝置之性能資料庫，協助產品開發與未來相關研究之參考依據。
