Air Power engined car - THE WAY FORWARD

yeah, but you still need some form of engine to compress the air in the first place....

but when u think how much we could reduce pollution, global warming ect ect, this could be massive.........

and i would say in years to come.... someone would make a dyno from said engine to compress its own air.... or have a motor driven by sunlight or another greener form...

its a drop in the ocean, but when you think about how far it could be taken forward...................

maybe not massive bhp ect but when we are saving our planet....
it all makes sense..

how long will it be before the big oil companies buy him out and it all gets buried and forgotten about or he'll turn up floating upside down somewere

Isn't that essentially a perpetual motion machine then? make that and you'll beat physics as we know it!

i LOVE cars......im not a huge fan of the IC engine.....i would welcome a change......

time to do some research then.....

how about electric motors....as in antigravity engines...been done!!

and they are out there. electrostatic motors.... do some yourself, if a was capapble, i would build one for the bug...

was talking about this in work today....

and a dude made something along the same lines as this..... and yep.. he was bought out and told to keep stum..

It's all bollox.

Sure it runs on compressed air, but as has been pointed out, you need to put a lot of energy in to compress the air.

There's no such thing as a free lunch in physics and the energy needed to compress the air would be used more efficiently if you ran the buggy with the motor from the compressor and throw the air motor away.
