Compressed air engines has been in the works for over 40 or more years and can't make it a block or more, a waste of time.🤣🤔
It’s true that compressed air engines haven't made huge leaps yet, but technology keeps evolving. Who knows, maybe in the future, we’ll find a more efficient way to harness compressed air, maybe in hybrid vehicles! 🚗💨 Hope is the last thing to die! 😉"
@@Techwheels2024 Sorry, But it is a Dead end.
Cons of the air engine: To compress air from an electric compressor is less efficient than charging an EV battery; the air engine would require more maintenance than an electric motor, and would be susceptible to air leaks; To charge from home would require the purchasing of an expensive powerful air compressor, which consumes more electricity as compared to charging an EV. Moreover there are associated risks if there are high pressure leaks when dealing with compressed gases. To work at optimum, the system has to prevent the ingress of water vapour, to prevent condensation inside the system. For safety reasons the compressed air cylinders have to be certified every 3 to 5 years to ensure their integrity , or otherwise replaced. Therefore I see no advantages for such a system in practice.
You’ve raised very valid points, well done! 👍
Compressed air is crazy dangerous and explosive. This engine will not see any uptake worth mentioning.
This isn’t “new” technology, and GM didn’t invent it 🙄
As a long time user of air tools, I cannot imagine how an air engine would produce the horsepower needed to satisfy the average driver. Don't even think about high performance car enthusiasts. I have a two piston compressor head on an 80 gallon vertical tank powered by 3 phase 5 horsepower motor. This powers lifts and air tools in a three bay automotive shop. So I know what kind of power is required to maintain air pressure. I'm fairly certain that air engine technology is a long way from providing any kind of solution for clean energy.
How do you compress supplied air? Range? ETC...
I don't think this is a viable transportation solution, carrying strong metallic bottles of compressed air, just like it will not be a solution carrying compressed hydrogen. Just look at those bottles ...
In fact, transporting compressed air or hydrogen cylinders could present significant challenges in terms of safety and practicality. The cylinders need to be designed to withstand high pressures, which can involve costs and complications. Thank you for your comment
What kind of pressure would the storage tanks be at?
Surely the performance of the vehicle would reduce as the stored air got depleted...?
The torque from a compressed air engine would be virtually non-existent.
The pistons would need some kind of lubrication in the absence of a liquid fuel....
It's all been tried before, in road vehicles, trams and even rail locomotives. There's a reason why the development stalled.
Great question worth 100k dollars! 😊 You’re right about everything: the storage tanks for compressed air need to withstand very high pressures, and the vehicle’s performance would decrease as the air is depleted. The torque of an air motor is indeed lower compared to electric or gasoline engines. Many studies are trying to improve these aspects, but unfortunately, we are still quite far from perfect solutions.
if you beleive that you believe anything why havent they just done it why does it take more time?
It’s not just a matter of having the right idea, but also overcoming complex technical challenges. A compressed air engine requires a lot of resources and time; we shouldn’t take anything for granted.
I thought Jules Verne wrote a book about using compressed air vehicles as transport back in 1870 ish so nothing new there.
But looking at it its not such a good idea the energy losses would be substantial due to heat loss due to compressing of air and when released the requirement for that gas to take on heat as it is used, the pressures required would be around 2,500 psi in the storage cylinder, I think it is probably a dead end idea too many losses I could go on.
Compare compressed air pressure with the 4.5 TONS/in2 that liquid hydrogen has to be stored at for a hydrogen combustion vehicle...
yes PLEASE.
compressing air takes a LOT of energy and is unbelievably ineficient , so where is the saving ?
Compressing air requires a lot of energy and can seem inefficient. Here's an example: in hybrid vehicles, compressed air is used to store energy during braking, which can then be used during acceleration. Although compressing air can be costly, when integrated into a hybrid system, it can significantly improve overall efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. So, even though there are initial costs, strategic use can lead to savings and benefits in the long run. We rely on blogs and reliable sources for this information, so we're not making anything up. Thanks for your comment
Good point 👏👍@@Techwheels2024
Anyone who knows a little bit about physics knows that this is an idiotic idea. Gas gets extremely hot when you compress it, etc.....Range would probably be a mile at best.
I remember mechanics who worked on our company's many air driven vehicles, used in the aluminum smelting factory, where I worked helping to develop equipment, sometimes mentioned that they thought compressed air, passenger cars would be a good idea. This took place back in the 1970's.
EVs and hydrogen without infrastructure are junk.
Hybrids are the best short term answer until batteries and infrastructure catch up.The Steam engine went extinct in the 40s and diesel electric locomotives have been their replacement since them. Diesel electric IS a hybrid !!! Today, Edison Motors has a succesful hybrid logging truck that beats the Tesla in both power and fuel economy and most importantly, and it is lighter than the standard trans truck NRA. No range anxiety.
Get it straight .. The infrastructure TODAY CAN NOT support EVs or hydrogen but hybrids can and are doing it with no infrastructure change with BETTER FUEL ECONOMY WITH PROVEN TECHNOLOGY
At the moment the infrastructure for electric and hydrogen vehicles isn't everywhere and it can be frustrating to think about how many charging stations there are around. Hybrid vehicles are definitely a more practical solution at the moment. Charging stations are becoming more and more popular, and battery technology is improving rapidly. Soon we will have a larger and faster network. And while the transition to electric vehicles might seem a little far away, hybrids, like the trucks you mentioned, are great for now and show that hybrid technology can really work well. But the world is moving towards electric for long-term environmental and efficiency reasons. So yes, hybrids are extremely useful right now, but electric vehicles and hydrogen are growing very fast.
Costs to charge ev's are skyroceting! Try charging @ 20 below at a charging station! Good luck! May take hours.
It remains an important aspect to research before choosing an EV, and we always strive to share the latest news on the subject!

Behind Tech Wheels are everyday people trying to share and highlight news that, for better or worse, concerns us all. We do our best to share what car manufacturers are studying. The future will help us better understand what to do and how to improve technologies.
I've working with compressed air and gases for more than 30 yrs.
No doubt about its power and capacity and potential use on vehicles.
In automotive application use of compr. air is a big challenge. It is required to store o produce compressed air to generate enough power.
I see application in hybrid cars. That is, a small fuel engine producing compressed air to power the car.
This technology could be complemented with "compressed stations" instead of charge stations for EVs.
Interesting observation! Compressed air certainly has great potential, but as you pointed out, its application in the automotive sector presents challenges, especially regarding storage and producing enough power. The idea of using a small internal combustion engine to produce compressed air in a hybrid car seems promising. It could offer an alternative or complementary solution to traditional electrification. Thank you for your valuable comment!
WHATS NEXT Air Engine, don't give up your day job
Definitely not a new idea - They had toy cars that ran on compressed air - with a compressed air piston motor ... example is the Air Jammer road rammer released in 1980 - we used to play with it - trying to see how far and fast we could get it to go. th-cam.com/video/U8dqCN7NHf4/w-d-xo.html
Thank James Air Jammer Road Rammer from 1980 is a great example

@@Techwheels2024instead of using AI to search literature for wacky ideas, why don't you hire an actual engineer to evaluate what all the issues are with this. The first problem will be that as you compress the air it will get very hot and so you have to have multiple stages of compression with intercooling in between. That intercooling is waste heat. You may end up with a third of the energy input to the compression system usable as compressed air the rest of the energy will be waste heat from the intercooling. Now when you expand this air,
It will become very cold and, and so any moisture in the air will condense. This condensed moisture perhaps as ice depending on the temperatures outside,
