<VV> New engine possibilities

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 Richard, the technology exists today. How do you think they fill SCUBA tanks, etc.? And they don't blow up! Even if you shoot one, they don't blow up. Mythbusters had an episode on that... I want their job! LOL

Ken, you are a voice crying in the great 'green anti-fossil fuel' wilderness.

I noticed that no mention was made as to where this compressed air was to be 

obtained. My compressor, a two stage 80 gal 220 volt requires a dedicated line. 

I guess the creators of this consider the air supply to be in the

'hard part, do later' category. My guess

Is what they really want is a follow-on

Grant for further research.

combustion engines became the norm because the conversion of fuel to energy 

takes place within.  Electric cars require power to be generated elsewhere then 

be transferred from the source to the vehicle and this engine requires 

electricity from the source to be transferred to the compressor and transferred 

again to the vehicle and yet another transfer from the storage chambers to the 

motor.  There is a loss at EACH ONE of these transfers because each is less than 

100% efficient.  Everyone on this list knows the cost of running an air 

compressor.  And the higher the pressure the greater the cost ... who would want 

to be around for the concussion should one of these high pressure air tanks 

fail?  Even if the wear problem could be over come the loss in efficiency 

through all the transfers could not be tolerated.  A hydraulic motor would be 

superior to the air system.  There is nothing free there either.
