This is crazy man. 1000 hp @ 35mpg? every man's dream. Please experiment on ex.
I give 1000 stars. Damm I wanna see a video or something. good job guys.

Impressive! I'd like that kind of hp in my Explorer (as well as the gas mileage) Does this design use the hydraulic pump to compress a gas in the accumulators? To actually drive the truck, the system must be quite heavy. So the mechanical and hydraulic efficiencies of the accumulator and motors would have to be pretty high to offset their considerable weight. Though I suppose if you are completely doing away with the conventional drivetrain and transmission, substantial weight advantage is gained there.
But these performance specs for now are still theoretical, right? The finished prototype will be the clincher. If it holds together, then come the issues of durability, reliability, safety and of course, economics. Big challenges ahead to get this into the transportation mix, but damn, we are all pulling for you! Sick and tired of the decades-long exploitation and manipulation of Big Oil.
Good luck !!

I would love to see a dyno. Its a little hard to believe 1000 horses but id love to see it be true. good engineering though, I'm going into the same field right now.

Great Idea! I can think of many vehicle applications for this technology.(Fuel efficient power for full sized trucks, etc) I wonder if you could load the extra space under the hood in the truck with batterys and replace the VW engine with an electic pump to provide that much needed 5100 psi? (Get rid of the need to fill up at the pump and still throw down a 1000 horse). Just plug it in to an electric outlet now and then. Or design and fabricate your own engine to power the hydralics that runs on water, that should be easy for you guys!!
ADD MORE PICTURES PLEASE. Color me impressed. Way to go.

u have a dyno test of this? that would be fricken sweet, but it's almost unbelievable, literally

This is freaky if what u are saying is true, got a video by any chance im really interested in this project.
