Re: Air car on TV

Wesley,

Given that liquid air can be produced safely in a vehicle owner's 
garage, and given that liquid air, due to the efficiency of heat 
pumps (COP =4) costs no more to produce that highly compressed 
air - maybe less, and is safer for vehicle occupants in the event 
of an accident, uses a lighter tank, has higher energy density, 
and so on.... why is an "air car" (i.e. highly compressed air as 
opposed to liquid air) preferable?

Obviously this is playing 'devil's advocate' - but can you counter 
these arguments in favor of liquid air ?
