How Can We Design a Compressed Air Car for 300 km Travel?
My apologies, I didn't realize this was an Elitist Forum... I didn't know this was thread was about semantics. I guess I should brush up a little on my Glossary and Communication skills. BTW, I have already built several Transmission systems, although Rudimentary, in design, I double the...- giggoman

A multi-stage tank system could also be used, with an atmosphere sensitive valve. Air compression is very powerful, a ruptured tank during an accident, could be dangerous, but easily averted. Many industries have implemented fail safe measures that address this potential problem. Once again...- giggoman

How Can We Design a Compressed Air Car for 300 km Travel?
My gawd, this is how new ideas get shut down... an automatic transmission is a term used to describe displacement. Not in the traditional form IE, A turbo 400... A design that be lighter and more suitable for an electric vehicle should be the focus. Why don't we discuss the problems and...- giggoman

How Can We Design a Compressed Air Car for 300 km Travel?
I have given this subject much thought in the last 12 months. kandelabr said: - efficiency i know compressing air is very close to brutally wasting energy, but i thought the heat generated during compression could be captured in a chemical way like this...- giggoman
