I bet that sucker costs more energy per mile than a gas engine... And when one of those tanks is breached in an accident, you have a rocket....... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Ken |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Ken As opposed to a fireball when a gas tank is breached? Seems to me that a gasoline engine is just an air pump anyway. An inefficient one that gives off massive amounts of wasted energy in the form of heat, to say nothing of unhealthy, noxious fumes. The use of electricity to create compressed air seems like a more efficient use of resources, especially in the case of that little rotary unit. If the tanks are recharged during non-peak generating hours it becomes even more desirable. Less weight, pollution, heat loss; all those attributes add up to a technology worth pursuing IMHO. |
