Anyhow I  figured that the energy in the 50 gallon tank at 5000 psi would
ideally  lift 4000 lb truck only 19 feet.  I was off by a factor of 60.   (60
seconds in a minute) The calculation actually comes out to 1138  feet.
 
 
Hey Ed , 
Might apply to quarter mile or now 1000ft racers. Say a 100 gallon tank ,  in 
a vehicle weighing half that truck's 4000 lbs  in the example Ed used  would 
give over ten to one ratio HP to weight in a package accelerates like an  
electric car, no ?
 
Something you could scrounge up in a good junk yard . If you had Ed's  
background in both Hydraulics and I.C.E.s.
Bottom line, like practically all Alternative power sources, you got to  
power it up at night for the next day, usually from electricity manufactured  
remotely.
