You your shits got to be rally tested when you go buy that bag of milk. One of the many ways good cars be kept down. Maybe that Air Car will win the race to the nearest golf ball. I can`t wait to see what comes up though. Go to you tube and see how many ideas are out there, it`s insane.

Some Akira looking cars there. Nice.

Oh and Poppular Mechanics guy. Let me give you a tip. Next time you interview a guy who has no mic try pointing you mic at him so we can hear him.

~The air car works pretty much like a gasoline engine: pistons, cylenders. its all the same, the only difference is that instead of a `boom` (gas explosion) to push the piston up and down, its simply pre-compressed air. nothing more to it

the only issue was tweeking it, although its still relatively new in concept, the base idea is what drives every gas engine in the world.

suck, squeese bang blow

suck air in, compress the piston, (in this case the bang is repaced by a bust of compressed air) expand air in the chamber and blow out the exhause fumes... so the air.

all you need to power it is an air compressor. 220V, or 110V if your stuck will still work fine, just slower


anywhere theres power this car can run. ANYWEREEEEE

how`s about just making something that`s not $50,000+ that gets 100mpg. or something that gets 70mpg and costs $2,000 (just like a moped)

Is anyone seriously trying to find new tech? It seems like a laughable game. "It`s a race for our future, it`s a race we must win!" I hope he actually cares about the environment, rather than his car selling out.
