Anyone who's ever eaten a good curry knows the hidden power of air, liquid or otherwise! ;D

It looks a very promising technology for windmill load balancing.  :y :y

But the problem with all of these energy conversion systems is that they are not particularly efficient which drives up our energy / electricity costs all of the time. So I'm sure at some point we will have CO2 free energy system with 1kwh costing the consumer a mere £5.27 compared to today's 12p, which is already expensive compared to a lot of other countries. Ukraine is about 3p. >:( >:( >:( >:(

So can the system operate in a vehicle, and produce enough power physically to pull the rather extensive cooling system...? :D
