Report
Liquid air boils at around -200 C at ambient pressure. If it is confined in a closed volume and thus, not allowed to expand, while being heated to ambient temperature, then the 200 C temperature rise will cause its pressure to increase to about 350 Bar. The heat for warming the liquid air is readily derived from ambient air passing through a radiator and heat exchanger system, as shown in the schematic.
History of Liquid Air Engines
Report
Although still considered an unproven technology, liquid air engines have been around for a long time. The first motor car based on Liquid Air technology was designed in 1899 and demonstrated at a London motor show in 1902. In 1899, Hans Knudsen designed a car called the Liquid Air. His invention did not find many takers and the company went into receivership in 1901, but Knudsen still demonstrated the car at a London motor show in 1902. The photograph above was taken in 1903.
