![]() More drain on the world's supply of both balonium and unobtainium. You can't store enough compressed air to make it practical -- perhaps they use a very long air hose? The claimed range was (IIRC) something on the order of 40 miles - and they said it would do 70 Mph. To me that makes for a practical urban vehicle, whereas most of the electrics are not. As others have said, what is needed is a thorough test by the automotive Press. We'll see. David Johnson |

The tank must be the size of an eighteen wheeler. They should also publish how much energy it takes to pump up the tank. I would expect to see unbelievably high numbers, if they are being honest. -- Jim in NC |
