i think the nirtogen boiler car would be cool and all, but working at such low temperatures requires a lot of protection from nitrogen leaks and so forth, i think it would be possible to make such a vehicle, but i would not comment on its efficiency and power, emphasize power, oh and you are talking high levels of electromagnetism with the electromagnetic bearing, because that rotor with blades would come out to be a bit heavy, so it would not be realy easy to create propper shielding for the passenger area. and you would still need electricity to control temperature, crazy valves that would need towithstand realy low temperatures, ceramic shielding which is less then safe in a car and so forth... talking large headache and it's not even a fact that that car would move at any fast rate...
what i meant by electromagnetism, was the use of a vacuum with magnetic suspension to keep the inner core (nitrogen tank/ nitrogen condenser) from thermal leakage.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
