Default Air Powered Car...

I don't know if this is a repost (searched but didn't find anything). But thought this was pretty cool:

Here'* some about converting gas engines into air powered motors:

I doubt we'll see anything like this used in commercial vehicles here in the US. Who knows though...

Of course, the Air Car will likely never hit American shores, especially considering its all-glue construction

I wonder what happens when you puncture that tank thats holding the air compressed to 4350 psi.

Does it POP like a balloon or does it 'jet' around uncontrolled.
