<VV> New engine possibilities

[Richard]

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. 

Regards
Richard Gebhardt

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.
