Man working in his garage invents car that runs on fresh air.

mmm... liquid air.. can't wait to try that stuff. sounds tasty.

Is this some joke?
If not this guy should watch his back.
He will probably be paid out by THEM, and we´d still have to pay high amounts for travelling which is our birthright.

I think this is a great idea.

But cooling air down to minus 190 C to make it into a liquid requires a lot of energy in the 1st place.

Oh dear!

no joke, its been all over the uk news for the past week.

Good post OP and thanks.

My question is, where are they gonna get the fresh air?

let alone the safety aspect....wham!, Car crash and everyone's a popsicle!!

I wonder if anyone has tried to liquify wood gas ?

If it liquified at low pressures like LP it would make an awesome fuel.

You mean liquid smoke? Yeah man, I use that shit on my bbq.

In the article the liquid air's being made from excess electricity generated by wind/solar that isn't capable of being stored - until now. The excess is stored by means of turning it into liquid air, then re-used, so this will solve the problem of inefficiency of wind power because previously it wasn't able to store the excess.

Found more about it on youtube

And we all know, if it's on YouTube, it's true.

Plus waste heat from power stations, factories, oil rig gas burn off can be used to drive compressors to liquify air.

Even if just oil rigs fitted compressors to use the normal "burn off gas" to drive them they would create a sale able product for these new engines, and the air is already out there waiting to be used.

Here's a video showing the power of LOX (liquid oxygen) in combination with biodiesel.



And that's about all I know about LOX.

It is a rip off of Viktor Schauberger's work

Is this like the dehydrated water car? Dr Bluzak anyone?

It was on Sky and the national press, shitforbrains. I just posted the youtube as a video of it.

i'm just waiting for them to think of a way of using monkey spunk

the ideal fuel. an endless supply, AND massive job creation!

oooh ooohh ahhh ahhh

If it's cheaper than oil, why the fuck not?

A friend/neighbour of mine, together with some former colleagues now all deceased, in the 1980s/90s invented a system for enhancing petrol/diesel fuel combustion in cars, based on introducing air into the exhaust system.

Claimed up to 30% fuel saving, up to 30% CO2 reduction, up to 90% smoke reduction, up to 20% particulates reduction, plus all the benefits for health and environment.

I know it works, back around 2000 when we lost leaded petrol in the U.K., I was running a Ford Granada enthusiasts' club and we were anticipating problems in lubricating the cylinder heads on our cars without the lead in the petrol. Dozens of us fitted this device and gained all the other benefits too, the cars ran much smoother, better uptake of power, around 15% fuel reduction, exhaust emissions hugely reduced enabling passing MOT tests more easily.

The guy hasn't been able to get the product to market, however, because the 'experts' can't understand how it works!

It's a stainless steel device, a slim cylinder with a mushroom-like top, fits on to the exhaust.

He's now more hopeful it will be taken up by the commercial vehicle sector (lorries, buses) because the fuel savings are very attractive to the operators.
