Abstract:
A system for the recovery and management of atmospheric gas is disclosed, such as for use as a vehicle propellant in a vehicle propulsion system. The system can include a compressor configured to compress atmospheric gas and first and second storage tanks configured to store liquefied atmospheric gas from the compressor. The second storage tank can have a heater operable to heat liquefied atmospheric gas therein to convert it to a high pressure gas. The second storage tank includes an outlet duct fluidly coupled to the first storage tank for supplying high pressure gas to the first storage tank.
