Republican presidential contender John McCain is calling for a 300 million dollar government prize for the person who can design a better electric car battery. But could the best battery for hybrid engines actually be … an air tank?
McCain says the prize would be awarded for "the development of a battery package that has the size, capacity, cost, and power to leapfrog the commercially available plug-in hybrids or electric cars.” But what about air?
Instead of using an electric battery, the Scuderi Air-Hybrid Engine stores energy in a small air tank that’s attached to the engine, in the form of compressed air that’s generated by the engine itself.
In this podcast, Scuderi Group President Sal Scuderi talks about the McCain challenge and the special advantages of the Scuderi Air-Hybrid Engine.
