While there is a LOT of power in compressed air . . .
I just don't see it as having enough power for
vehicular purposes.

On MythBusters, once, they knocked the end off a scuba
tank and watched it blast its way through a cinder
block wall . . . LOTS of power.

But, how long could it propel a car?

And, how dangerous would that compressed air be
in an accident?

Ever get air in a tire?

Compressors are all over the place. Use a BIG ONE like in my plant and it doesn't take long to put out some serious air.

I am not saying this is the greatest thing around BUT for sure, air is pretty doggone cheap and for the KTC's. there are NO EMISSIONS at all.

I have been watching this development for about five years now and just find it very fascinating.

And yes, you should try FREECELL. It is addicting.

the best,
