History of the invention So how was the AATE reborn? In late April 2005, Ron Rockwell of RSR was invited to meet with inventor Haskell Karl who claimed to have built an engine powered only by air. Ron met with Haskell in person, and after reviewing all his material (consisting only of photographs, drawings and sketches) and having detailed phone discussions he decided to rebuild the engine using current technology. I am sure that scepticism reigned high. However, Ron believed this technology had substantial merit and invited his trusted colleague, friend and fellow machinist Cliff Cruz to join his team in re-creating the engine. So, with 12 years' experience in research and development of various devices in the high-tech industry, RSR developed the AATE. In the early 1960s, Haskell took the original engine he had built to Wyle Laboratories for testing.

I became more exhilarated as the myriad potential uses flooded my neuron pathways: an engine that runs on ambient air, without any air tanks, combustion or fuel cells, producing no exhaust. The thoughts thrilled me no end. I just had to see the engine for myself. The new energy revolution I will forever remember the day I actually saw the engine running with my own eyes. My scepticism quickly turned to enthusiasm that was totally overwhelming. Here was the future, right before me. The engine hummed along at 30k- plus rpm without any fuel or exhaust.
