Just one more bs story that leaves off the real facts. When you hear anyone tell you parts you know are false, what does that tell you about the parts that you are to take on their word?

compressed air, has zero pollution,
Compressed air is the engergy storage medium. Where did the energy come from to compress the air? And was that "zero pollution" My gas car is 'zero pollution' if I only consider the transmission.
quote
The air that's for free
well that is unless you need it to be compressed
quote
Fully functional prototypes of cars that run completely on compressed air
Execpt they aren't fully functional because they don't run on the pressures that he says they need to run on to get the results he says they get.
quote
Imagine it cost nothing, nothing to fill up your car with gas
well again where are you going to get 'free compressed air' from?
quote
200 miles on one tank with speeds with speeds up to 60 mph. You can fill it up at an air station in three minuites
That could be impressive if they actually had fully functional prototypes
And then the get to the idea that they have a compressor that is powered by compressed air and they have a perpetual motion machine. Yep yep yep. Hey want to invest in my perpetual motion machine? Because YOU are my friend I can let you in on the ground floor really cheap. We are ALL going to be increadibly rich. K? All I need is your money. I'll drive you to the bank cause I'm so nice.
quote
A no cost fill up ever
Yep
Hey lets go to the bank now k?

Developers and manufacturers Various companies are investing in the research, development and deployment of Compressed air cars. Overoptimistic reports of impending production date back to at least May 1999. For instance, the MDI Air Car made its public debut in South Africa in 2002,[16] and was predicted to be in production "within six months" in January 2004.[17] As of January 2009, the air car never went into production in South Africa. Most of the cars under development also rely on using similar technology to Low-energy vehicles in order to increase the range and performance of their cars.
They put up 5 stupid egg beater wind mills in the entrance courtyard of a mall close by and said they expect to get 30% of the electricity the mall uses from the windmills.
The stupid windmills have generators slightly larger than a ceiling fan. At 100 percent that would mean the mall uses the energy of 15 ceiling fans. Sorry I dont think so.
I am not against alternative energy
I am not against alternative transportation
I am clearly against these people who will use alternative energy and transportation as a way to fleese the people. If these people would speak something closer to the truth we could ALL be ahead. But when they come on the scene boasting impossibilities and then get the media behind them it just really ticks me off. I don't so much expect the media to have a clue. As you can see with this media clip the reporter clearly doesn't even know what a clue is.
Toyota and their roller coaster park Bullshit commercial is just as insulting
One more lie to the people.
Maybe we could put up rollercoaster parks up with the Toyota synergy drive and use the excess energy to run the world!!!
Who knows? Well I really hope that a few more people start critically thinking about these alternative energy claims.

btw if you think about it, this kind of money for nothing thinking is what messed up the financial markets. Again clearly there were people who knew better. There were also people who clearly knew they could make a buck and fleese America.
And who won out? The people with the strongest reason to tell their story, the liers. And they ran their story as long as they could raking in the money as long as they could.

A few years ago I was working in manufacturing plant with 800hp of compressed air capacity. We did a cost comparison exercise to determine the costs to run identically sized motors with both compressed air and electricity. The results in simple terms was the air motors typically cost 8 to 10 times more to run as the same sized electrical motor. When we checked around with outside sources and found that our results were typical for many places.
Anyone who thinks compressed air is free is truly clueless. Compressed air has advantages for certain types equipment and situations but continuously running motor is typically not one of them from an energy cost and energy efficiency view point.

Do they have that lead into gold thing working yet? I'll buy one of those.
Phonedagwz, my dictionary has a picture of you on the page for cynic.
Well, you CAN turn lead into gold. But you need somethign like the LHC to it with I didn't read the story ( I'm sure its garbage ) but technically an air powered car will work, since its the same principle as a steam engine. But not horribly efficiently.

You should watch the video. It's an insult to your intelligence.
The only great benefit of the air powered car vs an electric car, is the ability to make an air powered car weigh stupid low weight... like 250lbs light if you used the right amount of carbon fiber and aluminum.
Only problem would be the fact that it would have no heating ability, no a/c ability, and a battery type system to run any of your small electronic comforts.
Compressing that much air as shown in the video, would be very hard. I imagine those are 4500psi tanks, each in the 400cuin range... which would take 20-40minutes to fill properly, and require a large 30HP compressor to run for roughly 10 minutes.
