if you take the ratio from gasoline to energy to turn the turbine in the machine we know as a vehicle, it is not efficient at all, a lot less compared to compressed air; also we still need to factor how cold we need to bring natural gas in to a liquid form and how much energy to keep it in a liquidized state in both tank and the fuel station if we convert it to an alternative vehicle fuel. as we well know our addiction to coal "cheap fuel" will dominate the market for years to come

but an energy source and even a income generator such as solar is not recognized by most governments is being under utilized because of the energy industry lobbyists keeping solar out of the market. if we did the actual math and studies about this alternative resource the rate of investment is higher then most bonds, investments and far more stable then most of the market trading in the world. Gas is possibly good portable medium in energy usage but it is not as reliable as the sun

If you do the math you will realize the $40,000 investment required to run a home on solar photovoltaic has NO payback. Unless you are a long long way from mains power so the cost of running power lines is high there is no point in photovoltaics except for a nice fell good sensation.

@fizzguts showing figures without the area coverage for the $40k equipment/battery/converter and so fore has no math value here because for 40 grand you can either get a nice setup that also generates more then erough energy to sell back or just enough from a retail store to cover your own use

for example an approximate self build about 13-16k already covers for your own usage, now for an additional investment of another 24k to 27k you can easily start making money from generating energy

keep in mind that during "rush hour" in the city meaning both going to work and coming back from work, the avg speed significantly decreases as we go higher in population which means from 7MPH in London to maybe 37 MPH here in Canada

unless we are always driving on the highway it is simply better to drive the air car within the city

@sbscottmonkey the actual 5 mile range 6 hour recharge time horrendous inefficiency and the complete absence of independent tests doesn't phase you? Strange.

An interesting concept, looking forward to seeing them in the UK!

now.... how do we get more power so we can have the car be a Ferrari on air!

Why are ecological cars always so ugly???

Free energy labeled 'economic terrorism' - The widespread adoption of these new, non-polluting energy and propulsion systems will effectively replace the use of oil, gas, coal, nuclear power, impacting 4.5 trillion dollars a year in world economic activity, replace the current? geo-political order with one based on decentralized abundance.

@mikehanoo33 Mr. Regusci of Uruguay has limped round neighborhood for 5 miles. Whee a hobby but so's collecting tea spoons and about as useful

[mikehanoo33]

The term "air engine" disappeared from engineering textbooks after the 1930s and the second world war. Gas engines had been perfected, the oil industry was established, and gas was cheap.

Serious interest in air cars was rekindled by the energy glitches of the 1970s. Dozens of inventors have patented designs for hybrid, closed cycle, and self-fueling air cars, as well as conversions for existing engines and designs for air cars meant to stop at air stations for refueling.

Armando Regusci Loves to Build Air Cars

In my correspondence with Mr. Regusci of Uruguay, I found him a sincere person and his design very appealing. Like my torquerack engine, his invention does away with the crankshaft, replacing it with sprockets and chains and freewheeling clutches, to turn a shaft.
