Comment on What happens of you use the gas from the exhaust pipe to inflate a tire?

Okay hear me out, I know this is funking stupid but what if: We only use a portion of the exhaust and make some sort of system that can feed the gas to when wheels are spinning and monitor the pressure at the same time, then add a lining on the inside of the tires to protect the rubber.

These systems exist already, they just use a belt driven air compressor because it’s ridiculously more practical/efficient.

I have an air compressor which is powered by the 12V DC outlet in a car. They are quite cost effective and easy to buy. I use it all the time to refill my tires. Much better than some odd exhaust pressure solution.

Rotating seals are always a pain in the ass.
