He qualified as 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 rotary motor which runs on compressed air:[1] 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.[2][citation needed]
Di Pietro targets locations in which automotive vehicles are required, but cause immense health hazards such as produce markets and warehouses. Di Pietro is determined to find an alternative that was both environmentally conscious, comparable in desired power, and inexpensive.
He/his company received multiple awards[3][4] and positive media coverage.
