A French company is building a multi-passenger car that was able to travel ~100 miles on compressed air. http://www.howstuffworks.com/news-item106.htm
The air pressure was closer to 5K psi, most likely because of the size necessary to fit in a smaller package. Those types of mechanics are much more expensive today. (No market). Hopefully there will be one when we become a hydrogen economy.
georgios' idea could allow for larger containment vessel therefore lower pressures. If he could point me toward an ‘engine’ that would convert the compressed gas to mechanical motion to drive a generator I would be convinced.
I would rather see his ‘turbine’ used in electrolysis and produce hydrogen, but that is ‘tomorrow’. |
Robert is not the moderator of the Environment Forum, I am. Although as the Big Boss, he is free to intervene at any time. In fact, I am surprised he did not do so before now, since his trigger finger is sometimes itchier than mine.
I think I have been quite relaxed so far about letting this thread "play out" -- I am just warning against it becoming one extended marketing effort. So far, in my judgment, it hasn't -- but it seemed like it might be headed there, hence the prior post.
