With the first one, too bad the narrator had to go and mention that bit of stupidity, of how the compressed air motor would power a generator that would compress the air the motor needed, creating a perpetual motion vehicle. No cost to fill up, ever, he claimed. Ah, the stuff of snake oil sales pitches. The second car video looked like it was a 200 pound plastic car. Maybe something will come of all this. BIG oil & Detroit might suppress what goes on in the US, but not everywhere in the world. If it were even marginally viable, somebody would be making something somewhere. This bit looked interesting and helped me realize the obvious first place would be small forklifts and so on (enclosed spaces would be ideal for a non-polluting vehicle). I have seen natural gas buses and fork lifts before, but nothing that runs on compressed air yet: youtube.com
