Can't you use the compressed air for cooling as well? I mean if you could pickup any heat energy from say a heat pump you just get extra gas expansion, right?
But the compressed air is already cooler than the heat coming out of the motor. I can see how the expansion benefit might be outweighed by the weight of the heat pump and any mechanism for transfer from solid to gas if the transfer rate is low.Only if you cooled the compressed air to begin with. Even then, without a phase change, it's way less efficient than adding additional AC compressor capacity.

Speaking of phase change, what is the difference in pressure between a COPV and liquid storage of air? 10x? 1000x? Or at current COPV pressures do you still have to cool air below -200C to make it liquid?
Looks like you can get room temperature liquid Nitrogen at 45,000 psi. Considering Space X COPVs may be 4500 psi we are closer than I would have expected.
I wonder if Tesla will try to adjust cabin temperatures by using the temperature difference in compressing and releasing air. Like internal combustion exhaust is used to heat....temp rise of a 10:1 compression without heat removal is ~896 F...
Anyone know the color frequency of maximum plaid?Incidentally, I hope the top speed is 256MPH.
Because.. you know... binary.
Incidentally, I hope the top speed is 256MPH.
Because.. you know... binary.
Known frequency of Maximum Plaid is just above visible light (UV spectrum): 2 to the power of 50 exactly.Anyone know the color frequency of maximum plaid?
What can the average person handle in g's? There must be a point where blackouts might occur.

I think that the SpaceX options put the car in that range for several seconds; I think that it is initially limited by grip and then later by maximum power)
450 Bugatti Veyrons have been made and sold. 300 coupés and 150 roadsters have been made, the last Veyron was an open-top Grand Sport Vitesse variant, called La Finale. The 450 Veyrons were sold for an average price of about 2.3 million euros ($2.6 million) each May 30, 2016 450 x 2,600,000 = 1,170,000,000/50,000 = 23,400 model 3 at average price of $50,000 ==============
Bugatti have manufactured 450 Veyrons till date. There have been 270 Veyron 16.4 (the first variant), 30 Veyron 16.4 Super-Sport (the world record variant), and 150 Veyron Grand-Sports and Grand-Sport Vitesse's. The 450th Bugatti Veyron, Grand-Sport Vitesse La Finale, was unveiled at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. Bugatti have now increased the number of Chiron's to 500, over a product cycle of around 8 years. 500 (average price over 8 years?? how about $2,000,000?) = $1,000,000,000/50,000 = 20,000 model 3 at average price of $50,000 You get the idea - put in your own numbers. The revolution has started, I think.
it will not be limited by grip if power is provided by thrusters.
