this could be the actual future of cars since the engine works the same way it was but the only thing that is eliminated is a gasoline. but one potential problem there probably is to it that compressed air in a tank is a bomb that once you get into car accident and tank gets damaged it will explode. to make it better the tanks would have to be heavily reinforced, unlike those on the video. I hope that some one, someday will eventually make cars safe for enviroment and us people. Thanks
Lol. I have a car that can run 7000 miles on one gallon of gas. It's true. The oil companies are trying to suppress my invention of course. Sent me $5000 and I will give you a license to sell my cars.
slmost 4 years ago this was made....so where are these cars now? surprised these are not all over the world. Where do you buy one? it obviously works.
If they put a compressor on the car to keep the air tanks full, the compressor would take power from the engine decreasing the 200 miles range. There's no perpetual motion here. LAW OF CONSERVATION.
If we all had these cars the cash we would all globally save on petrol we would all be spending on other things this would put global economy right. And help the environment with zero emissions. But as usual the politicians an d the petrol companies are just way to greedy to allow this to ever happen. They could mass produce the cars and make their cash from that
are these people stupid? it costs nothing?? what about the electricity to compress that air numbnuts! it doesn't run on air like a magic flying broomstick...it runs on COMPRESSED air.
@93Trip So you'd pay $10,000 to go 5 miles (actual range in the only published test) powered by 10 horsepower engine. Interesting! I have a bridge you will like as well

@ACIMessentials The insults are to try to get lazy mouth breathers like your self angry enough to actually get of their fat butts and do some research on the actual physics that governs all worlds real or theoretical. As for "nothing is impossible" that shows a SEVERE lack of imagination. As a thought, seeing you are so open minded try pulling yourself up to the moon by tugging on to you boot laces. Report back when you succeed.
after you have learned to leave your body at will and go anywhere you like, then let me know. you sound rather unevolved... sorry but i'm not accustomed to dealing with such thinking. you are the one, m'dear, who lacks imagination. if in the past, genius had stopped at 'impossible', there would be no computers, no videos, no cars, no planes... but people with vision have always taken people without vision to a better place, even tho neanderthals are characteristically arrogant and ungrateful.
@ACIMessentials Like I said the day you can lift yourself by your boot laces to the moon give me a call. Until then keep taking the meds.
Computers videos cars etc were all built by those with a science education. The uneducated with no knowledge of science were the ones who chanted it can't be done while engaging in advanced navel gazing and falling for every scam artist coming down the road. And it's always been that way.
well, fizzguts, you do not identify yourself here so i figure you are either very very young or very very devious. no need to be rude, no matter how 'superior' you flatter yourself to be. :) those who are followers of the religion called 'science' have often had to eat their words in the past, so don't be too too sure of yourself or of 'science'. :) bye bye
@fizzguts - i know my intelligence level. so you can't intimidate me. let's stop this silly conversation, ok? i prefer meaningful conversation to logical fallacies.
putting a compressor that is run by compressed air onto the car is about the dumbest thing i ever heard. even if both the compressor and the air engine had 100% isentropic efficiencies. you would still have to use some of the compressed air to produce kinetic energy.
now an onboard compressor that is run by fuel might be worthwhile, depending on the efficiency of this "air engine" if the total cycle efficiency is higher than your average gasoline or diesel engine
@KGCinematography So a 5 mile range (only posted actual test) 6hp and miserably inefficient (50% less than a IC car) promised next year since 1996 but never delivered and you'd buy it? Interesting
No pollution ever? Perpetual motion? That's misleading.
The only pollution produced, is the pollution from what ever energy source that compressed the gas. So depends on what your compressor runs on and it can depend on how the electricity you use is produced. The words perpetual motion don't belong in this video at all, it in no way describes this car.
It looks like a great idea though, I hope it catches on.
Tesla made a self fueling air engine and the Rockafellars torched his shop. So it only took a hundred years to get to a point that requires computers and still requires the grid AKA nuclear power. Better switch the nuclear to hydrogen or algae, use solar or aerotecture wind to be clean cause nuclear is killing everything.. see my DU radiation playlist
What you said is so wrong and disrespectful to the inventor. Most people who drive in the city drive short range. I don't think this idea it's pathetic. I think it's a great idea. This planet is in great danger from green house gas pollution. I see this as a possible solution. In fact, I see ways it could be improved! However, keeping the passengers warm could be a problem.
@fessit "keep one warm?" no problem, you set fire to it, being made from resins and plastic it should make a nice smoky bonfire which is the only use for vthis pathetic short range long running con
this is bull ! It take more energy (GAS) to make the air then a generator or the car can can give back. It takes a butt load of air to run a motor of any kind. basicly your putting more in then your ever going to get out....
@tryhard117 Nowhere, but you can send in a deposits, buy a franchise or shares and get nothing back. And the cars will be ready for sale next year, always next year.
i just bought a full sized truck and i love it. im helping our winters not suck so bad. and have fun with this car never being able to go fast or do any work
IT'S LIES. FAKE TOO INEFFICIENT. QUOTE:-MDI claimed in 2007 that an air car will be able to travel 140 km in urban driving, and have a range of 80 km with a top speed of 110 km/h (68 mph) on highways,[11] when operating on compressed air alone, but in as late as mid 2011, MDI has still not produced any proof to that effect.
FAKE. AND I HATE THAT FUCKING YANK/NIP SCIENTIST. EVERYTHING HE TALKS ABOUT IS SHIT. YOU CAN NOT GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. NOT POSSIBLE NEVER WILL BE. YOUR JUST USING THE AIR AS A BATTERY. LOSSES WILL DEEM IT USELESS. TO SAY THAT IT FUELS ITSELF IS JUST LIES. TAKE THIS CRAP OFF YOU TUBE. FAKE SCUM.
this narrator is retarded, needs to look up the conservation of energy.. also, that car goes 200 km per fill, about 124 miles., so the description is dead wrong.
@fizzguts ur so smart. I never saw it that way. I'm goin to go get bigger wheels on my gas car 2morow. Thanx 4 the advice. U MORONIC ASS CLOWN! Its so easy for jerks like u to insult people ova the net. Ur so smart why don't u solve the energy crisis for us and I will go back to watchin porno.
Couldn't you run a compressor off the serpentine belt? Then it woulb be useing compressed air to run the engine and a compressor filling the tanks. It will never achieve perpetual motion but come on guys, its a start in a better direction. I would drive 1 for short trips to store and work. Leaving gas car parked for only longer trips. I don't see it making it to the US though.
@Almulins "Then it woulb be useing compressed air to run the engine and a compressor filling the tanks" Diagnosis, congenital idiot. Everyone knows putting big wheels on the back is so you always roll down hill is the only way to go
I thought this was a legit video until the end; air costs money to compress, but one day we can use the air to drive a generator to compress air, perpetual motion?? ok so this whole thing is a joke. So are all air powered cars a joke also?
HAHAHA! sort of cool idea, but the narrator doesn't know what he's talking about! Compressed air making more compressed air makes no sense! WHERE DOES THE FIRST COMPRESSED AIR COME FROM! Does it come from the compressor plugged into a 120v outlet in the wall that leads to the oil/gas/coal burning power plant? NOT GREEN. IF the energy to compress the air came from a renewable source in the environment such as wind or solar, yes it would be green and just maybe even make a bit of sense. Maybe..
@Digiweave if youu start whit 1 tank whit compressed air, its posible ..................... then a pump refill the tank sorry ,for my bad english claro q es posible de hacer si se empieza con un tanque lleno se puede empezar a avamza una vez en movimiento . el auto podria tener un mecanismo de bombe y de retro alimentacion.. pero muchos ni saben de mecanica ni de maquinas , ni sistemas .... puro pesimista y negativo en el mundo por eso estamos como estamos
As the potential difference of the air in the tank equalizes with atmospheric pressure and it's motion is captured and applied as torque to the drive shaft of the car and the other compressor, energy losses must occur in many different places along this path via friction and heat loss. Even if the engine was 99% efficient (which it's not) it would continuously lose energy and eventually need an external source of energy.
@rdysail59 From the top. Hideously inefficient. Only published test range was 5 miles. Double the cost per mile compared to a IC car. Power is 6 hp. The cars have been available next year all ways next year since the 1990's. The technology is completely understood and has been for 150 years. It's a long running con to suck money from technically incompetent rich idiots
A real engineer would cringe if his/her public relations representative said, "Then, one day, perhaps the compressed air that runs the cars will also run a generator to compress its own air. A car that runs on air and constantly refuels itself."
Compare energy densities:
Hypothetical 'perfect' use of compressed air: 180kJ/kg
Lithium-air battery: 9000
Gasoline: 47200
Compressed air *does* have potential for electrical load-shifting. Look on Wikipedia for "grid energy storage".
I'd rather kill every single living being on Earth with smog than drive something that looks so goddamn retarded. Now if it looked like a Lancia Delta, made the same sound and drove like one..... I'd still pick the Lancia Delta.
Wait a minute... at 2:36 the commentator looses it: he suggests the air car would some day conjure energy out of nowhere... AArRGH what a bullcrap! I was actually interested of this video, but he blew it...
@fizzguts I'm posting so you'll leave the people commenting on this the hell alone. Seriously worry about yourself. If these people are SOOOO wrong about their opinions, then why don't you let them believe what they want and figure out the truth later (even though they know the truth already!) your opinion doesn't matter, especially if you're going to be rude and try to pick a fight. So fuck off.
I just wish that I will never be a passenger in one of these cars because if an accident happens and a high pressure gas tank cracks, it will cause a massive explosion.
@Fizzguts hey buddy, I just realized you're posting your useless opinions THAT ARE WRONG BTW on literally EVERY single air car video. God ur probly a freakin president of an oil company trying to stop this great technology from getting to the public and saving this planet. You just want ur billions of dollars so you can go off and buy millions of vibrators to masturbate to gay porn with.
Back the hell off!!!! Nobody cares what you think! I KNOW that this could save the earth in the long run wh
@12nickjr You've just realized I'm posting FACTS that show the MDI air car is a CON everywhere. You in the slow learners class?
Quoting your mindless drool "Nobody cares what you think!" So why are you posting? Bought some shares in this scam? "I KNOW that this could save the earth in the long run" Nope hideously inefficient really OLD technology with no hope of improvement. MDI have been scamming since 1995.
Google the museum of retrotech to see just how far back this idea goes
If perpetual motion was impossible, we couldn't be here. In an infinite time line, over a long enough duration, The adult life-span of a fruit-fly, would be just part of the initialization and demise of the entire universe, that would just be a point on the line of endless time.
Therefore, the universe must have always existed, as in perpetual motion.
and there was no beginning, and there will be no end. But compressing air, to generate energy to compress air ...isn't going to be perpetual.
I agree that the comments re perpetual motion are off the edge of the table, But there is a good possibility that it could be efficient as all get out. If it would get 95% efficiency or something, perhaps you only have to compress air for it every 1,000 miles or so to replenish the air lost to inefficiency. Sounds like a good idea to me. Now if they will make it into a vehicle that can pull 9,000 lbs. and seat six, or have that cargo room I could use one.
@Vermillion2176 For fucks sake 20 seconds on the internet or reading back through the comments would have shown you compressors are about 30% efficient air engines are inefficent and the tanks in this piece of crap hold the energy equivalent of a pint of petrol.
For goodness sake talk to someone you know who can do engineering or science and get them to explain this is a CON
Based on comments here, we are mostly very ignorant uneducated bunch of people who likes miracles and easy way of solving real problems.
Compressed air stores very little energy and that energy must have a source plus losses. Therefore, it is very inefficient way of storing energy, it is much worse than electric battery in electric cars, which has about 10% of energy density of regular gas we use for cars.
The website is in the link in the description area. If you want to buy one of them the only way you can buy one of them and bring them here in the USA you have to bring in as a sample because of the US code and regulations for the automobile market. There safety and emission regulations that everything has to fall under. But if you bring in under sample that may get it through the Government Regulation system
@nickanon You can't buy them. You can place a deposit or buy a franchise to manufacture and you have been able to do that since 1995. You can only drive round a parking lot, you cannot road test them and you cannot take them to a test track. After you have placed your money with MDI you can join the other disappointing rubes trying to get their $ back.
@fizzguts not when people see it with there own eyes at the newest car show(me)and publicaly announce it also to the media and that sight is aprroved most new cars are made of carbon fiber and other varius of material and if there are air engines already all they have to havve is the desighn and the engine and than you get the new concept car of the year
@fizzguts the wheels arent made of plastic and theye ARE already make cars made of carbon fiber face it technology is evolving this sint the stone ages anymore
Utter pish from the narrator - he is an idiot to state that the car's alternator will drive the compressor which will drive the car which drives the alternator which compresses the air which drives the car, ad finitum.
@obliquejr It isnt perpetual, watch the full video. Electrical energy is used to compress the air, when the air is decompressed it makes pistons to move.
@trapko91 you cant use power to the power from compressed air to make more compressed air and make something run otherwise you will have a machiene with over 100% efficiency, which is.. as you know. Impossible.
@ventHARAS yea, glad to see Noether's theorem, the conservation laws, spectroscopy, and the principles of thermodynamics are all proven wrong -.- . stop being a fag and get off youtube.
@obliquejr kid you dont even know who your talking to right now those laws were written by the government to keep punk ass niggas like you in check. this guy prove all kid wrong but then they killed him cause he was getting to close to secret
WHY DOES NO ONE SEE THAT INSTEAD OF POWERING THE CAR, USE THE ENGINE TO TURN A ELECTRIC GENERATOR AND YOU CAN POWER ANY SIZE VEHICAL YOU WANT. HUGE TRUCKS AND BUS'S COUD HAVE ELECTRIC ENGINES POWERED BY COMPRESSED AIR ELECTRIC GENERATORS. READ AND DOWNLOAD FOR FREE MY ~"book'~ ~"DIVINE 9/11 INTERVENTION"~ @ LOVEGODISLOVEdotORG. IT IS A TRUE STORY! ALSO CLICK ON a77white LOWER LEFT AND WATCH MY VIDEOS HERE ON YOUTUBE. THEY ARE 4REAL!
@a77white Urm, how do you plan to make electricity from compressed air? You do know it takes energy to compress the air right? More energy than is actually produced from the air....
@a77white No, love is not the answer. Love is way to abstract of a thing or feeling to be the solver of human problems. Struggle, progress and unity behind an ideal that is suited for the emancipation and better society of the majority of the worlds people using scientific methodology.... that's the answer.
@marcelthemaoist For me ~"Love"~ is ~"simple concern"~ for/about ~"everthing"~ and ~"everyone"~. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but …
Although technically very good. I think the TV presenter has got carried away, with the perpetual motion idea. Energy is never lost it is always transferred. The point is the compression vessels is effectively the battery and the Energy is stored by means of compression. So the car is as green as the energy you use to compress the air, Thus centralising carbon footprint to the energy source, which could be zero. I totally agree in the concept as unlike most other batteries theres no bi-product.
How ridiculous! You can't get perpetual motion. That would assume 100% efficiency in converting the energy to compressed air and then even more energy to drive the car as well - so even more than 100% efficiency.
Zero pollution depends on how you generate the electricity needed to compress the air.
So, basically, nice technology but don't spoil it all with insanely stupid comments!
@EwingPatric i think they are made of carbon fibre so they only split open instead of shatter out everywhere. still i wouldnt like to be near one when it cracks open and sends the car flying around lol
@EwingPatric Due to safety laws the tanks will probably run at 40% max pressure safety factor 2.5 . So over engineered bottles not likely to rupture in most crash scenario's and if they do then the g's involved in crash would mean the same outcome for the occupants. Same metaphor as why don't they build the plane as good as the black box. Answer cause the box would survive but the occupants would resemble spam. it's the the rapid deceleration that kills,tanks could be carbonfibre so only split.
Lol has the Narrator ever taken Physics or heard of Friction. Not only will the car have to be perpetual motion but create energy out of nothing to balance out the Friction Forces. If only there were some sort of law about energy being never created or destroyed that could settle the matter.
@TheDarkKnightTech There's no arguing that they still haven't managed to solve the issues of range and speed with respect to compressed air cars, but to infer perpetual motion applies here, when you can readily see the car you're talking about in motion, makes it clear that you either don't understand the physics behind compressed air engines, don't understand what perpetual motion is (or isn't), or don't understand physics period, despite clearly thinking you do. No offense meant.
@TheDarkKnightTech "Imagine it costs nothing. nothing to fill your car..." The guy obviously doesn't understand that it costs more energy to fill the compressed air in than the car will actually use. the question is the source of the energy to fill the car with air going to be clean, i.e. hydro or windmill based electricity.
@marcelthemaoist Yea thats what I was getting at. The only problem right now is that North America has no access to REMs (Rare Earth Metals) which are essential for electric motors, batteries, and photovoltaic cells. Currently, China has a monopoly and has cut down on exports (something like 95%). So in the future there will be a lot of strain on efficient green energy sources. (currently lithium used in solar cells reached 25% efficiency yet if REMs are used its 40%).
just google CHINA'S SINISTER PLOT TO CONTROL RARE EARTH METAL PRODUCTION AND HOW THIS AFFECTS THE U.S. AND GLOBAL ECONOMIES (i cant post a link)
This article can explain it better than i can. Of course their are other avenues, i believe ibm is working on new technologies not requiring REMs. People are attempting to locate REMs in Alaska for mining. Finally, some people believe that mining asteroids could offer a solution (albeit expensive and very dangerous)
@TheDarkKnightTech Some people, I used to go door to door for a environmental group once, and they wanted to stop an incinerator from being built. This guy actually told me to my face "This incinerator is going to be SPACEAGED (yes, he used that word). The waste they put in will go poof, like it was cast into the sun." After I stopped myself from laughing, I explained to him basic physics that energy never dies and no matter what it would just be an even more concentrated toxic waste... lol
Hahaha, perpetual. They made it sound like such a misconception because what they ment was that they could transfer energy from air to electricity and electricity to air. It's an inefficient process though.
interesanta idee a puso cineva in practica? pt inceput mias face un cart cu doua tuburi de oxigen sau aer dar nam idee cum sa fac motoru sa consume putin
The movie has the most untrue facts I have ever seen. The compressed air is one the most expensive form of energy, but in the clip I have been informed that it is some kind of free energy???? what the f... . That car is absolutely less eficient than electric car. Personally I am big fan of compressed air, but car powered with compressed air? It absolutely opposite to ecological transport.
@da333l It depends how you compress the air. Solar powered compressor in your garage would compare quite favourably to the same setup charging batteries. Plus, you don't have the high cost of battery packs (and replacing them when they wear out) and the environmental cost of shipping all that weight several times around the globe to manufacture them.
@greatspacegibbon Yes, you are right. It's good idea. But you forgot about fact how costly this kind of installation is, and how much power you get from it. In Poland many people use sun energy to heat water, but very few use solar cell to generate power. It is absolutely less effective, with amount of energy that created. To generate compressed air good energy source is needed, it is one of the most costly energetically power source. But the idea is still very interesting.
@greatspacegibbon At one fifth the efficiency of a direct to battery set up NOPE NO AND HELL NO
Hi pressure tanks that are cycled and these miserable 5 mile range POC will cycle the snot out of the tanks have a life of around 5000 cycles and they are freaking expensive.
@QuaziGNRLNose he's just thinking of the concept that the engine may be able to power a compressor so that as the car moves (using air) it can replace it (compressing air)
@oliverjamescarr "he's just thinking of the concept that the engine may be able to power a compressor so that as the car moves (using air) it can replace it (compressing air)" Proving the announcer and anyone else who thinks that is viable is an idiot
Some people don't realize that those who run the oil and automotive industries do everything they can to keep cars like this from production. I was part of a study on a compressed air braking system back in the late 90s and one of the American auto makers purchased the patent and locked it away after looking into how much profit they make annually on selling replacement brake parts...
this could be the actual future of cars since the engine works the same way it was but the only thing that is eliminated is a gasoline. but one potential problem there probably is to it that compressed air in a tank is a bomb that once you get into car accident and tank gets damaged it will explode. to make it better the tanks would have to be heavily reinforced, unlike those on the video. I hope that some one, someday will eventually make cars safe for enviroment and us people. Thanks

unfortunately you need an air compressor to compress the air in the first place.
and just like electric cars, the electricity for the compressor is generated somewhere by machines that don't run on clean air.

putting a compressor that is run by compressed air onto the car is about the dumbest thing i ever heard. even if both the compressor and the air engine had 100% isentropic efficiencies. you would still have to use some of the compressed air to produce kinetic energy.
now an onboard compressor that is run by fuel might be worthwhile, depending on the efficiency of this "air engine" if the total cycle efficiency is higher than your average gasoline or diesel engine

No pollution ever? Perpetual motion? That's misleading.
The only pollution produced, is the pollution from what ever energy source that compressed the gas. So depends on what your compressor runs on and it can depend on how the electricity you use is produced. The words perpetual motion don't belong in this video at all, it in no way describes this car.
It looks like a great idea though, I hope it catches on.

Tesla made a self fueling air engine and the Rockafellars torched his shop. So it only took a hundred years to get to a point that requires computers and still requires the grid AKA nuclear power.

As the potential difference of the air in the tank equalizes with atmospheric pressure and it's motion is captured and applied as torque to the drive shaft of the car and the other compressor, energy losses must occur in many different places along this path via friction and heat loss. Even if the engine was 99% efficient (which it's not) it would continuously lose energy and eventually need an external source of energy.

A real engineer would cringe if his/her public relations representative said, "Then, one day, perhaps the compressed air that runs the cars will also run a generator to compress its own air. A car that runs on air and constantly refuels itself."
Compare energy densities:
Hypothetical 'perfect' use of compressed air: 180kJ/kg
Lithium-air battery: 9000
Gasoline: 47200
Compressed air *does* have potential for electrical load-shifting. Look on Wikipedia for "grid energy storage".

If perpetual motion was impossible, we couldn't be here. In an infinite time line, over a long enough duration, The adult life-span of a fruit-fly, would be just part of the initialization and demise of the entire universe, that would just be a point on the line of endless time.
Therefore, the universe must have always existed, as in perpetual motion.

I agree that the comments re perpetual motion are off the edge of the table, But there is a good possibility that it could be efficient as all get out. If it would get 95% efficiency or something, perhaps you only have to compress air for it every 1,000 miles or so to replenish the air lost to inefficiency. Sounds like a good idea to me. Now if they will make it into a vehicle that can pull 9,000 lbs. and seat six, or have that cargo room I could use one.

Based on comments here, we are mostly very ignorant uneducated bunch of people who likes miracles and easy way of solving real problems.
Compressed air stores very little energy and that energy must have a source plus losses. Therefore, it is very inefficient way of storing energy, it is much worse than electric battery in electric cars, which has about 10% of energy density of regular gas we use for cars.

Although technically very good. I think the TV presenter has got carried away, with the perpetual motion idea. Energy is never lost it is always transferred. The point is the compression vessels is effectively the battery and the Energy is stored by means of compression. So the car is as green as the energy you use to compress the air, Thus centralising carbon footprint to the energy source, which could be zero. I totally agree in the concept as unlike most other batteries theres no bi-product.

@marcelthemaoist Yea thats what I was getting at. The only problem right now is that North America has no access to REMs (Rare Earth Metals) which are essential for electric motors, batteries, and photovoltaic cells. Currently, China has a monopoly and has cut down on exports (something like 95%). So in the future there will be a lot of strain on efficient green energy sources. (currently lithium used in solar cells reached 25% efficiency yet if REMs are used its 40%).

The compressed air is one the most expensive form of energy, but in the clip I have been informed that it is some kind of free energy???? what the f... . That car is absolutely less eficient than electric car. Personally I am big fan of compressed air, but car powered with compressed air? It absolutely opposite to ecological transport.

@da333l It depends how you compress the air. Solar powered compressor in your garage would compare quite favourably to the same setup charging batteries. Plus, you don't have the high cost of battery packs (and replacing them when they wear out) and the environmental cost of shipping all that weight several times around the globe to manufacture them.

@greatspacegibbon Yes, you are right. It's good idea. But you forgot about fact how costly this kind of installation is, and how much power you get from it. In Poland many people use sun energy to heat water, but very few use solar cell to generate power. It is absolutely less effective, with amount of energy that created. To generate compressed air good energy source is needed, it is one of the most costly energetically power source. But the idea is still very interesting.

@greatspacegibbon At one fifth the efficiency of a direct to battery set up NOPE NO AND HELL NO
Hi pressure tanks that are cycled and these miserable 5 mile range POC will cycle the snot out of the tanks have a life of around 5000 cycles and they are freaking expensive.

The last 30 seconds of the Narration has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.

i doubt this runs 200 miles, even 10 would be pushing it, and the mention of perpetual motion shows the announcer knows nothing.

@QuaziGNRLNose he's just thinking of the concept that the engine may be able to power a compressor so that as the car moves (using air) it can replace it (compressing air)

@oliverjamescarr "he's just thinking of the concept that the engine may be able to power a compressor so that as the car moves (using air) it can replace it (compressing air)" Proving the announcer and anyone else who thinks that is viable is an idiot

Some people don't realize that those who run the oil and automotive industries do everything they can to keep cars like this from production. I was part of a study on a compressed air braking system back in the late 90s and one of the American auto makers purchased the patent and locked it away after looking into how much profit they make annually on selling replacement brake parts...
