Hi all,
I don't see much of an air improvement over the electric hybrid, ony
substituting compressed air for a battery. While advertizing hype plays a
part the market has the final say in competition, it all comes down to
the "bottom line".
Dynamotors? Having no need to change voltage my best guess is they use
the same regenerative braking DC locomotives and the familiar third rail
EMUs have been using for years. Just a point of reference, dynamic brakes
are quite the same DC traction motor wise only in a Diesel-electric the
current is dissipated in a resistor bank and there's a meter on the
console measuring braking effort in amps.
There is little wonder why the Wankel engine failed in Mazda, they took a
simple design using three moving parts per rotor and crapped it all up.
Now who would buy a rotary when a piston engine is a whole lot cheaper in
the long run, not to mention a mechanic's worst nightmare? When anyone
mentions Mazda I think of light bulbs, if you don't get it Google is your
friend.
Ah the dishwasher like machine and its name is Pete.
