The nice thing about using electricity to compress air is that all of the electricity comes from one point. That single point source of pollution can be more easily regulated than each car engine can be.
Who knows, maybe this could be more efficient than a gas engine? Compressors can achieve efficiencies much greater than that of combustion engines. Using a highly efficient nuclear plant as an electric source such air engine might be more efficient. Ken is right, non vaporized gas is very hard to light and almost impossible to mak explode. If you ever see an inner engine camera (there is a website with on), even the gas going into an engine doesn't really explode. It just creates a flame front relatively quickly. |
