For $100 million in one year, we’ll demonstrate how to rapidly reduce use of oil in transportation with safe, warrantied retrofits of tens of millions gas-guzzlers. We now have a sprinkling of promising companies working to get funded to convert gas-guzzlers. When they’re mass-produced, conversions will cost under $10-$15,000.

Ambient or low grade waste heat is used as an energy source with the cryogen providing both the working fluid and heat sink. When ambient or low grade waste heat is reintroduced to liquid air it boils and turns back into a gas, expanding 710 times in volume. This process can be driven by renewable or off-peak energy.
