尽管被很多工程师视作一种破坏性的技术,但实际上液化空气的用途还远不止于此。降温至-196°的低温液化空气可以被视作一种储能机制,这种思想将有可能颠覆我们对现有活塞式发动机和储能计划形式的认识。但众所周知,低温空气技术早已出现。构成空气78%的氮气最早在1883年就实现液化,当时使用的方法是不断对其进行压缩和释放,并在此过程中提取释放出来的热量。液化空气驱动汽车的天折位于美国波士顿的液化空气公司,很早便设计制造出了世界上第一辆使用液化空气驱动的汽车。但这家公司本身命运多舛:它于1899年正式成立后仅仅3年便宣告倒闭。尽管这家公司的确不幸,但是它所设计开发的汽车却确实可以开动,并在1902年由其发明人汉斯·克努森进行了演示。根据记载,当时这辆动力独特的汽车行驶了大约64.4千米,时速约19.3千米,所使用的动力来源为56.8升的液
Although considered by many engineers as a destructive technique, the use of liquefied air is much more than that. Cryogenic liquefied air, cooled to -196 °, can be viewed as an energy storage mechanism that could potentially subvert our understanding of existing piston engine and energy storage planning formats. But as we all know, cryogenic air technology has already appeared. Nitrogen, which makes up 78% of the air, was liquefied as early as 1883 when it was compressed and released continuously, extracting the heat released during the process. Air Liquefied Air-Driven Car Liquefaction Company located in Boston, USA, designed and manufactured the world’s first liquefied air-driven car very early. But the company itself has a lot of fate: it closed down in just three years after it was formally established in 1899. Although the company was indeed unfortunate, the car it designed and developed did start up, and in 1902 it was demonstrated by its inventor Hans Knudsen. According to records, at that time this uniquely powered car traveled about 64.4 kilometers and a speed of 19.3 kilometers per hour. The power source used was 56.8 liters of liquid
