The little car that runs on air.

Yes I can see the eye's rolling already. While we sit back at let our government and media (yes I meant to say media) tell us alternatives to gas engines aren't practical, nobody wants them or of course it's a SCAM we couldn't possibly come up with something that's less expensive than the gas engine, others are getting it done.

I look at this car and my first reaction is, man it's ugly. But that's the easy part to fix. The point is, it run on compressed air! Add a small gas engine to keep the air tanks charged and you get some serious cross country mileage out of one of these.

Manufacturers in the United States appear to be coming up with a version of their own (more to follow), but we'll see if it actually makes it to market.
