[...] are you, fucking stupid? Exactly what happens in the case of accident overloading those not-quite-clever energy reclamation [...]

This is the most insane thing I have ever heard! A guy comes up with his idea on the drawing board, makes claims that anyone can make, has no prototype and gets airtime? Only in Wisconsin! There are so many other similar vehicles out there already in prototype and DEMONSTRATED, that are much more viable than this. Until the media demands some form of proof, any man, woman or child can simply get on camera and say that their vehicle gets 100, 1000 or 10000 miles to the gallon, and the untrained public will gasp in wonder.

Go badgers!

This is a blatant scam…if this guy had even the most BASIC grasp of hydraulics and engineering, he’d know that FLUIDS CANNOT BE COMPRESSED.

That’s right – only AIR can be compressed. A vehicle driven by hydraulic motors on the wheels will need a spool valve or other pressure-relief valve to divert excessive hydraulic pressure.

And while braking with the hydraulic motors is theoretically feasible, there is NO WAY to store this energy.

Nor could you run a hydraulic motor or piston off a fluid reservoir powered by compressed air. Not unless you’re willing to tow an enormous high-pressure series of tanks around…

This is the 100-mpg carburetor scam revisited. Next we’ll hear how the oil companies bought the diagram and threatened this guy’s life…and how we need Congressional hearings, and government money to develop the concept.

I’m gonna be sick.

Hey!! Where are all the idiots that will believe anything they are told regardless of how stupid or full of “stuff” it is!!

Of course, the Toyota Prius recycles breaking energy quite effectively and has been for 10 years now….

“Hey!! Where are all the idiots that will believe anything they are told regardless of how stupid or full of “stuff” it is!!”

Like idiots that say they’re one age and then forget that lie and tell another, with a different age?

Those idiots are funny…

My two favorite Rover quotes:
“I am 47 years out of the God given womb myself…”
“I am semi-retired at 44… My internet business is in the black in my first year :D”

So funny…

[...] 130MPG car What do you gus make of this? Breitbart.tv » Wisconsin Man Invents Car That Gets 130 MPG [...]

This man is a genius and loves the planet like our master, Al Gore.

Stop GLOBAL WARMING! PULL OUT OF IRAQ NOW! Free Health Care for All! I Love Democrats!

Viva Gore!

Please send any excess Global Warming to Chicago. We are freezing!

Media: If this man can do it so could the American auto makers!

Me: No prototype, no demonstration, no proof.

What is the media’s deal with wanting everyone to drive hybrids cars and or japanese vehicles and get 100’s of miles per gallon? The media is on this Robin Hood quest to take down big oil and american car manufacturers, its really weird.

“That’s right – only AIR can be compressed. A vehicle driven by hydraulic motors on the wheels will need a spool valve or other pressure-relief valve to divert excessive hydraulic pressure.”

While this guy may be a scam, you can indeed store energy in the form of hydraulic pressure. Liquids can be pressurized just like gases – that’s how hydraulics work. Many hydraulic systems work off a pressurized tank of fluid, not the hydraulic motor directly. Dana Corp. is working on a diesel-hydraulic hybrid for armored personnel carriers like the Stryker or Bradley that would have regenerative braking.

I’m not saying this guys idea is going to work but it is posible to use a fluid to compress a gas then recover the energy. Many machines are fitted with acumulators which do this on a small scale. This guy may be talking about forcing oil against a body of nitrogen to store energy, what he is neglecting to comment on is heat losses when the gas is compressed. If I squash a gas into half the space it has the same heat energy in half the space so it will be hot, in a way this is how a fridge works. How will he stop the escape of heat energy? I assume he is talking about extreme pressures so there will be a lot of heat.
I wish him every success but I will not be investing in his “invention”.
