Things that require little energy, store and supply little energy. There's no free lunch. Running an air compressor off a solar cell... you're getting close to Al Clo-re territory there.

Well guys, it takes very little energy to supply power to an air compressor to fill up a compressed air tank.

If the vehicle currently can go 200 miles on one fillup of air, how much would that cost in gas?

I think for an inner city commuter it is a great idea. No rust bodies. Looks like it could work.

If they can figger out a way to install a small compressor onboard that would run off a solar cell when needed the distance could be extended a whole lot.

Its still in the development stage so let's wait and see how this plays out. For now, I LOVE the concept.

the best,

micro....
