Zired mobility

 

 


Zired engine
:


If air is the best resource for mobility, then the zired engine is the ideal device to make the most out of the excellent properties of air. As a compressor, it can convert air through rotary motion into compressed air. This qualifies the Zired engine to generate potential energy. Later the same device, this time as an engine, can simply convert the compressed air back into rotary motion. This means the Zired device can be used in two ways for mobility, and with far more efficiency than any other device out there today.

Comparison

Let's make a theoretical comparison between today's most popular car engines and Zired. The advantages of the Zired engine over electric motors and internal combustion engines are listed in the table below. (10 very good, –10 very bad).

In comparison:
Zired-engine Electric motor Diesel motor Otto motor
Construction cost 8 6 2 1
Robustness 8 7 3 2
Quiet operation 8 8 1 2
Torque from 1st rotation 9 8 -3 -3
Environmentally friendly 6 -2 -3 -3
Repair and maintenance 8 8 2 1
Total
47 35 2 0
In comparison:
Compressed air battery Diesel tank Fuel tank
Maintenance tank/battery 10 -6 10 10
Tank / Battery weight 6 -2 9 9
No environmental pollution 10 -5 1 1
No special raw materials 10 -6 1 1
Tank / battery constr. costs 6 -8 9 9
