That's what I was wondering about, imagine having a car accident with the pressure vessel at max boost which is 700 Bar 👀
That would make for a very impressive explosion.

This whole concept is just vapourware to create media noise, it would never make production because the engineering to make it road safety compliant would be outrageously expensive and that's assuming there was even a way to make it compliant which is highly doubtful.

would anyone want to use this knowing that mechanical things are not 100% reliable - ie when a car that is flying malfunctions it is not as trivial as a rear view mirror falling off or a tyre deflating while the car is parked ..... the odds are that if it malfunctions mid flight you lose the ability to stop breathing after the resultant crash

Or driving around with a pressurised tank around 10000psi where each valve gives about 20000 Newtons of thrust.

Yeah no. This is a stunt.

Speak for yourself - that's because you bait and switch your clients and when they see the real size of your tiny splinter they refuse to pay...

Who buys all that outrageously expensive LVMH garbage, costs $50 to make, charge $2000, it's certainly not the poor people :unsure:

Jesus wept. You just illuminate your own bigotry for all to see through your assumption of what I am. Your lack of shame is your own downfall.

You do realise that I'm a white male with a university degree in economics and I work in IT for a large South African LISP and so am easily within the top 5% income bracket in this country...

The only difference between us is I don't think I'm inherently superior to anybody else and I give a fck about the welfare of all people on this planet. All humans deserve a decent life free of exploitation and slavery. Especially those that don't currently have it.

Except the billionaires, politicians who sell our sovereignty to the billionaires, and their bootlickers of course. They have chosen their position and their fate.

P.S. all those "safe" billionaires you keep asking me about... well they certainly made their success through their own talents and efforts. Nothing wrong with that. That explains their first 10's or 100's of millions. But to transform that into having billions in wealth requires exploitation at scale on top of that success. That is why they are (or became) evil. They can easily rectify this but they choose not to. I'll light a candle for their souls.
