Re: Just the thing for commuters
Sorry to get on my soapbox but those C**ksuckers (Tommy affectionate wartime name for Yanks) have been crashing their oil tankers into our coastline for years and I don't see them queueing up to pay for the clean up operations that followed those incidents.

Re: Just the thing for commuters
Don’t know why America is so up worried about the spill, usually they have to invade a country to get free oil but BP are delivering it direct to they shore.

Re: Just the thing for commuters
With an American company operating the rig,it must be the Brits to blame!!!!!!!!!!!
As far as the compressed air car it must have one hell of a storage tank,just think of the wait at the air station to fill up,if anyone drives a truck that's low on air will know what I mean.And how about the energy needed to drive the compressor to fill your car up with compressed air??Perhaps they have found perpetual motion, an engine to drive the compressor to fill the tank up to drive the engine??

Re: Just the thing for commuters
Yeah right !!!!! I've used air tools in the past and the amount of air you need to run just a dye grinder is ridiculous. That thing can't have much of a range
car to run on washed up oil
any old ford diesel would be fine. trouble is the yanks old fords burn 'GAS'!!!!

Re: Just the thing for commuters
Air Car - I tend to be cynical about these miracle solutions.... !
Tomorrow's World (Jon Snow) tested one around northern Italy. I seem to remember that he was keen but the vehicle was slightly crude in a "G Wiz" sort of a way.
BBC – Report http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/2281011.stm
The compressors (to refuel) can be run on renewable power (solar) and there is no reason why you could re-fuel overnight using a basic (but quiet) compressor. Refuel can be done quickly with the right system.
The "tank" on the prototype was moulded into the monocoque.
It would be under high pressure but would not explode in an accident…….and is not flammable.
Styling left something to be desired….but that’s simply remedied.
It sounds simple and I almost want it to work so that it’s a poke in the eye for the oil producers and engine producers, etc
Current Air Car Technology – http://www.mdi.lu/english/miniflowair.php
Porsche also seem to think that there something to this technology…….. admittedly in a different way - http://www.popsci.com/cars/article/2008-09/high-compression-running-porsche-air
God I’m turning Green – I must go and hug tree !

Would that be a roller mill, as used by paint manufacturers?the amount of air you need to run just a dye grinder...
