The shipping containers, which house a Frankenstein-like assortment of machine parts—motors repurposed from Volvo truck engines, giant tanks of compressed air, huge silos of piping hot sand—are produced by a company called Cheesecake Energy. The motor drives a piston that compresses air, which gets hot as it’s compressed.

Install photovoltaic capacity to generate “green” hydrogen: Install multiple PV modules at its Central Maintenance Facility in Hayward. Combined with AC Transit’s already-installed solar capacity, this solar installation will produce the renewable electricity equivalent to what will be required to produce 180 kg/day of green hydrogen.

Eviation, together with motor-maker MagniX, is working on battery-electric planes, Lilium is developing a kind of electric jet, and the late Zunum was betting on a plug-in hybrid system. It was always a personal passion, and I was already working on green transportation, so that was a natural intersection.
