How a hybrid gas-pneumatic powertrain works
It’s comprised of an ultra-efficient IC engine powered by a choice of secondary fuels*.
The IC engine powers a compressor which compresses nitrogen in a closed loop and stores its pressurized potential energy in a carbon fiber tank.
This stored energy powers a pneumatic motor which turns the vehicle’s wheels.
The powertrain can operate in a pneumatic or IC mode, or in a seamless combination of the two.
