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?
