Design parameters and optimum operating conditions were determined for aluminum--air/flywheel vehicles with performances equivalent to that of a five-passenger highway automobile. The performance of such vehicles depends strongly on the voltage--current characteristics of aluminum--air cells and on the weight of the reactants. The weight of cell hardware constitutes about 5% of the vehicle weight. The weight of the power cell (including reactants and electrolyte) is about 15% of the vehicle gross weight. The total energy cost of propulsion for the aluminum--air vehicle is approximately equal to that of an internal-combustion-engine vehicle of equivalent performance if the primary energy resource in both cases is coal.
