Air Car (1 of 2) from France

You have costed the shed load of carbon fibre tanks (Which this POC needs despite MDI's lies) and have factored in the cost of testing required for pressure vessels?
Thought not

You are confused

The only testing I mentioned is the FACT that all pressure vessels over a set volume holding high pressures such as dive tanks, commercial air compressor receivers, oxygen cylinders etc have to be tested usually annually, some times every five years. The air car will have to comply and no carbon tanks don't just fail with a hiss that's another MDI lie.
Pressure vessels that fail even carbon fibre wrapped ones are rockets or bombs that's why testing is required.

Thud Thud Thud
Head beats against wall.
Dive tank example
Each vessel INDIVIDUALLY has to be tested. The need to be vertical, filled with liquid to 100%, using a liquid pump raised usually to 50% higher than maximum pressure. The vessel is measured for stretch, volume increase or pressure drop over a set time period. The tank is then emptied cleaned and then reinstalled.
This is not trivial and not cheap and will not happen at a garage

TK42138 hit the nail on the head....P.V. panels are at 18% efficiency (at the moment), if we can get to 50% we will NEVER have to burn anything EVER again !!!! Kyo*era have made it economically viable to run your home using 18% efficiency panels, though costly, with enough land and investment, that will pay off very quickly and you will soon be in profit!!! The commercial revenue of electrons is at stake !!!! HaHaHA, bye bye power companies !!!!!! Wanna buy some Kwh's???

"if we can get to 50%"
Fuck
Yet another nimnose who has done no research and has no idea. Google Photo Voltaic theoretical maximum
Workout how much energy and storage it takes to run electric house ovens, aircon and heating (got a spare $250,000) then delete your post.

No contamina en su funcionamiento pero siempre quedan residuos a largo o mediano plazo como son las baterías, aun así es un adelanto de la humanidad único y si tuviera oportunidad lo compraría inmediatamente. Así no solo apoyaría a una empresa sana sino también a la lucha contra la contaminación.

The disadvantage is that the air car uses about 5 times more electricity to go the same distance as an EV
