Re: Brown is Going Green

So that's why there were some lay offs at work yesterday. Had to pay for the new trucks somehow. (Only kidding, there were some lay offs but I doubt they are connected to this.)

They do sound pretty cool though.

Except from my understanding Hydraulic Hybrids use Nitrogen and not traditional hydraulic fluid.
The accumulator (high pressure side) uses nitrogen gas. The nitrogen gas is compressed by hydraulic fluid pumped into the chamber. The compressed gas is the stored energy.
