  1. Re: engine modes allowed by this concept on Air-Powered Cars · · Score: 1

    The concept allows the engine to run in two modes :

    - mode 1 is 'compressed air only'. The endurance is small but high enough to use it in a town

    - mode 2 is 'air mixed with petrol', which gives a good endurance, and also an ecological engine compared to 'petrol only'.

  2. Re:I'd like to believe this, but I don't. on Air-Powered Cars · · Score: 1

    This concept was first publicized in a french review a few years ago. I can't remember when I first read an article about it here in France, but I think it was about 3 or 4 years ago. The fact is that the concept is rather good. So good that big petrol companies don't want it to appear on the market (neither governments because of taxes that petrol brings to countries). That's probably why it didn't took off by now. May be that if more and more people know the concept, it could become very popular and be widely adopted. Who knows... Bu one would have to fight against big companies and governments. To be more accurate about the ceoncept itself, the engine allows running in two modes : - mode 1 is 'compressed air only'. The endurance is small but high enough to use it in a town - mode 2 is 'air mixed with petrol', which gives a good endurance, and also an ecological engine compared to 'petrol only'.
