The CryoEnergy System uses air comprised in refrigeration units and exposed to the extreme temperature of -196 °C. The resulted liquid air is then kept in an insulated tank, whose ambient pressure doesn't exceed 1 bar.
With the pressing need to find reliable energy alternatives, Google is definitely pressing on in the right direction. After the ground-breaking release of the Plugless Power system, Evatran â€Ã¢â‚¬Å“ Google's Virginia section, the company is undergoing tests on wireless recharging of electric cars.
