Wow that's pretty cool, make the top milage at 70 and I'll get one .

[OverlordMondo]

Bah, crash tests. If people weren't always in such a hurry we wouldn't crash. Give me my air car.

To bad it's not going to america. Well maybe i'll see it at palestine (aka isreal).

[Sybarite Paladin AxL]

yeah right like the shadowy leaders of the oil production consortiums would allow this...

[ken_cinder]

I'd buy one! I'd be able to get to work, plug it in while I'm working, and go home........with no fuel cost!

 

Oh and F**K the oil barons.

[2eyez]

Compressed air....hm....sounds like forced induction.....it's already on the market. It's called a turbo/Super charger.

 

Even though it does seem like a good idea it's kinda boring. Thats why they created bike, moto, moped, whatever(speed & economical).

Show me a car with a turbo, that requires no fossil fuel or electric engine in it. Same with a moped.

I don't think this works quite the same way as a turbo either, turbo's work on the principle of cooled air being forced into the chamber, which when heated expands. The colder the air, the more you can expand it. This is what intercoolers are for on turbos.
