yeah... cool... but DEAD... just not efficient at all... :( It's too bad they can't pull their heads out... and use an electric drive :) Timothy... ... ...
I would'nt count out aircar just yet. They have started putting these vehicles out on the street in France and efficiencies will get better. The best ICE...
So, I imagine the "exhaust" on a CAT vehicle has a relatively low temperature. Maybe this would be a benefit in hotter climates since it can be routed into the...

Yes, they are inefficient, but only because of thoughtless engineering. If they conserved the heat generated by the compressor, the efficiency would be as...
Hi, This is about "Tower Height and Location" problems related to Small wind Turbine. I had personally experienced difficult time due to practical problems in...
I agree. I also think that (without having done a great deal of research), modern electrical controls makes regenerative breaking feasible. To add to what...

yes.. IF... and that's a huge IF... Compressors make more efficient heaters... and the big questions is how? how do you conserve the heat without a lot of...
this sounds great.. HOWEVER... nothing that moves will do so for long with out lubricant... so the air coming out *although cleaner then a gas engine is NOT...
Good point. However, I'd be more curious about the heat value of air and it's usefulness as a refrigerant for cooling the driver and passengers. After all,...
for interior ac, you could eliminate the oil smell hazard by using a closed loop system and fan similar to a standard heater coil. All of these problems...
One must be cautioned that oil and compressed air do not mix internal in the pneumatic lines, lest it can lead to catastrophic results. ... From: tallex2002...
... Air has very little heat value. It can not be used as a refrigerant because it does not condense into a liquid. A vital element of the heat transfer...
Agreed. Air has very little heat value or more to the point, R-value. But the discussion is not about designing an ideal refrigeration system but rather how to...
Hi all, I approved this message with caution. As all of you know, there are a lot of "water fuel" systems that allegedly can boost mileage of a vehicle. Be...
May we simplify this water / fuel subject? Ethanol or Methanol Emulsufied water/gasoline improves mileage much like a simple steam engine runs on water - or so...
