Compressed Air Car

[Chris Smith]

Do the math and choke on your own time.

You sound like a student challenging the teacher, at the start of the semester.

Sit down, do your own math, bug the hell out of your own children, .....Im at least 30 years past all this nonsense.

I asked you a basic question, math.

You cant answer it because its over your head.

If you cant do the simple math, your talking out your ass.

You want to go to touchy feely land and then have a challange or a debate?

You cant answer the simple math, so in simple english,... ask your children.

Dont waste my time if math is rocket science for you.

Touchy feely and the web are your thing, Science and physics is mine.

You stick with the touchy feely NET/WEB.

NET stands for “not entirely trueâ€

Chris, with the way you keep referencing a few yards, for what a current(or future for that matter) compressed air engine is capable of, I am curious as to what magic is at work here?

Posi,

The report is a sham. You can see and hear that first supposed compressed air vehicle that he gets in is started with an electric starter. The engine then idles before he pushes in the clutch.

External combustion engines like the steam engine do not require a starter and they do not need to idle. Same with a compressed air powered vehicle. The man is starting a regular internal combustion car engine. It could be he doesn't know about technical things like this. TV reporters are not very technically inclined.

Chris is right. According to my books on thermodynamics, the internal combustion engine is a heat engine, and "works from hot to cold" as Chris said. The heat engine requires that temperature differential to operate.

Bob,..its not that it cant work, its about total energy.

Apples compared to Mt Everest,..... worth.

Which is really practice or a viable means for transportation?

Id rather burn a pound of sugar in a steam engine.

Far more efficient.

Im sure there is a good physics class near you.

Do the math before you engage your mouth gear.

Fantasy, the web, and all sorts of "snake oil sales men" exist, even today.

I have a list for all the web sales out there from love, sex, to car sales, just ask.

In Alice's wonderland.

Get off it, get an education, and learn the basics.

Your now becoming boringly stupid. [child like]
