Sadly they don't seem to have actually made anything commercially available yet, just prototypes and demonstrations. I think the efficiency and range is not so great. |

| 1487758 | 2022-08-12 05:39:00 | the simple problem is that compressed air is extremely inefficient to produce. on a typical commercial compressed air system you only a get about 4% of the energy actually used for work. even if you make it the best system your only looking at 10%. |

| 1487759 | 2022-08-12 06:03:00 | Wow, I'd better keep that a secret from my son. He's been a compressor systems installer/serviceman for 15 years. That might upset him. :):) Lots of compressed air systems he looks after here in the Hawke's Bay/Poverty Bay area. Ken |

Ken it won't upset him, as he will know it already. tho its usually the sales people that peddle the old "compressed air is highly efficient" bs. |

I dare say they sold a lot of stock options before mysteriously vanishing. An old tradition for alternative motor vehicle "breakthroughs", particularly "run your car on water". ;( |
