Interesting new air powered car to be introduced. Save gas (no gas) no emissions. Only $12,700, 68mph and has a range of 125 miles. Can it go faster on a bean burro? In any case I want one of these.

Gee, I dunno, my "air" always seems to have gas emissions.

"No emissions" my ass. It simply moves the emissions to a different source. Or do you believe the air is going to compress itself into the storage tanks without an outside energy source?

Default New ideas

From what i am hearing there is a new more efficient way to compress the air.....this will take less heat loss and may make it more efficient to compress the air. This makes it way better than gasoline and more economical and green house friendly. Yet, its not perfect it may be much better than what we use now. Who really wants to kill themselves paying for gas when you don't need to.

Drover is on target...

The rest is marketing BS...I'm assuming high school physics has been forgotten by others here....you compress something you produce heat....and that's a loss...wave your hands etc but that's the bottom line.
