Re: Anyone used a Car Capsule?
Looks like a good idea to protect your car. Once the car is inside, draw a semi-vacuum, then fill capsule with de-hydrated air or some "friendly to the car" type of gas.
Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.

Re: Anyone used a Car Capsule?
My neighbor use them.
It blows the air through a filter so limits the dust. I would think you need a generator for when there is a power outage.
Will get more info from him.

Re: Anyone used a Car Capsule?
If you are on a mission to stop rust, a capsule isnt really the right option in my opinion.
Remember, the official name for rusting is oxidation.
So the only 100% surefire way to stop rusting is to remove the oxygen.
This is why metal is painted.
OK, its a lot slower without water.
But now if you use a capsule, you will need to remove the humidity from the air before forming your bubble. Otherwise, the water will still condense (as if you left it in the air normally) as condensation is caused due to a temperature variation between the air and the vehicle (when the air warms up quicker than the car). It will then evaporate later in the day and then condense again the next morning, causing a continuous rust process until it runs out of oxygen.
What am I saying?
Basically, a capsule wont stop rusting unless you dehumidify the air prior to injecting it as Dawie recommended.

If you get a good quality, without leakage, you can fill it with Nitrogen.
But heat the Nitrogen as you fill, and you sould be OK.
