Compressed air to run vehicles - a heavy duty mechanic guy down the road here has talked about this for years, makes much more sense than hydrogen he says, as a way to store electricity ... the molecules are bigger so it doesn't sneak out, also it's not explosive ... well the tanks could burst, you'd need regular inspections on them, and you'd need big tanks to get any range ... there is a loss of efficiency in compressing air, energy lost to making heat, still every conversion loses something ... but anybody who ever used an air wrench can see how well it transmits power, and quite trouble-free, also the engine would be lighter than for internal combustion, for the same power

That's great! Compressed air vehicles- I have a windup flashlight and it works great-

Lets get these arseholes that step on all these projects and send them off to outerspace-

There is no reason we can't have 100 mile per gallon vehicles TODAY!

There's my rant- long live the ice-cap!!!
