Bike, alternator, battery charge cycle. Proven efficient.

When isothermally discharging this volume to 1 Barg, you will get 28
MJ from the tank. I can hardly imagine that the exhaust gas

For comparison, Petrol and Diesel have energy densities of about 35 MJ/
liter.

This shows that the amount of stored energy in the pressure cylinders
is less then that of 1liter petrol. To have a useful range, this
requires extreme change in driving behavior and car design.

Overall efficiency is another issue.
Air compression is inefficient if you can't use the generated heat.
You need to add more then twice the mechanical energy to the gas to
compress the air to 350 bar.

Given the efficiency of the compressor itself (friction, leakage, etc)
I have doubts whether they will reach 25% efficiency for pressurizing
the tanks. Of course, during winter the generated heat can be used for
heating.

When you "charge" the tanks at home (from the mains), you also have to
include the (low) overall efficiency of the electrical energy (from
power plant to the socket at home).

Besides some niches (explosive environments?), electric traction will
outperform the "air" variety in my opinion (better efficiency, better
control).

Not to mention being a lot safer in a collision.

Since they'll only do 30 kph when (lightly)loaded!

Tell that to the truck that knocks a hole in a 5000 psi carbon fibre air

Hello Phil,

They mention to have approval for road use and they use same type of
cylinders as used for natural gas. They also mention rupture pressures
700bar.

We have public transport and private cars that run on CNG, as far as I
know, without accidents involving failure of the gas cylinders. The
cylinders are on top of the bus.

Probably you know the Seoul bus explosion.

Best regards,

Putting them up out of harm's way is a good idea. That way they'll
probably be knocked some distance before rupturing--though the usual
failure is cracking the valve off, which generates enough thrust to
send a scuba tank through a concrete wall.

Why, by burning coal to generate electricity for use in the

Carnot efficiency of each one worked 100 percent, which they fail to do

I worked in Infra-red thermometry back when imagers required a liquid
nitrogen bath.

I also worked in refrigeration and have made chambers the length of
missiles (over 100 feet). I have made cascaded cooling systems that go
to a couple hundred below. Something you might have seen once if you
opened the grill on the thermal chamber, and actually knew what you were
looking at. I also made the hyper-hypothermia machines
that doctors used to do open hearth surgery with. Now, they place a
thermal catheter right directly into your vein/artery. They can chill or
revive a patient far faster than the hyper-hypothermia machine did it.
Direct contact with the blood and all.

I wish that clot in your brain would reach its critical point.

When I was in grade school playing one-upsmanship-of-one's-parents with some
other kid, I claimed that if it weren't for my stepfather, Hoover Dam couldn't
have been built.

In reality...

My stepfather was a land surveyor.

Who worked for a civil engineering firm.

That had another division, thousands of miles away.

That had, indeed, done a small bit of the design work for Hoover Dam.

A few years before my stepfather had been born.

Close enough, right? :)

After all, it's not like Hoover Dam had much of anything to do with Herbert
Hoover either!
