Re: Crazy Drive Train Ideas
Possible pushing force might be unrelated, as there is only so much traction available from a given set of wheels.
Given a non-traction-limited drivetrain, however, where you get the power from can make a big difference. For a pneumatic drivetrain, if you can't keep the tanks full, you'll lose pressure quickly. The compressor would probably have a hard time keeping up with pressure loss in that case. But a motor-driven drivetrain does not have that problem, at least until the battery dies.
